Each season NISRA offers a variety of programs ranging from craft activities to team sport ac­ tivities, as well as numerous special events. NISRA is also the training grounds for area Special Olympic teams. NISRA is currently recruiting volunteers to lead or help with several programs: basketball, bowling, weight lifting, swimm­ ing, racquetball, track and field, horseback riding, soccer, cooking and craft classes. All it takes is a little time, a special skill, or simp­ ly a big heart. For more information, contact the NISRA office at (815) 459-0737. Blood drive at Sherman Sherman Hospital; in conjunc­ tion with the Aurora Area Blood Bank, will hold a community blood drive, Monday, Aug. 19, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the hospital Assembly Hall. Persons aged 17 to 65, weighing at least 110 pounds and in good health, are eligible donors. Birth control pills, hormones, mild tran­ quilizers, diuretics, thyroid medication, diet pills and an- tihistimines do not disqualify a potential donor. The Aurora Area Blood Bank provides blood for Sherman and 23 other northern Illinois hospitals, including those in the Fox Valley area. The process, including rest period after donating blood, takes approximately 45 minutes. For further information or to schedule an appointment, call Sherman Hospital's volunteer of­ fice at (312) 888-8720 Ducks The most significant change is the proposed shortening of the hunting season by 10 days, from 50 days down to 40. The proposed dates in Illinois are from Oct. 16 through Nov. 24. Marshalla said that the 10 days would be taken off the end of Illinois' season, because mallards are very late migrants and are the species usually taken towards the end of the season. The proposed change is designed specifically to cut down on the mallard take. for the upcoming season is in the 100 point sykem, used to restrict how many ducks a hunter takes in any one day. Each different species of . duck is assigned a point value and each hunter is allowed to keep shooting until he or she has passed 100 points. Under the proposed changes a hen mallard's point value would be in­ creased from 70 to 100 points, while a. drake mallard would go from 25 points to 35. All pintail ducks would be increased from 10 to 35 points, while all other former 10 point ducks would be increased to 20 point ducks. The remaining species would all be increased from 25 points to 35. The chfpges would mean that any hunter bagging a hen mallard would be done lorthe day Just on that bird alone, and the most ducks any hunt­ er could take in a day would be cut in half from 10 to five. As stated before, the overall goal is to cut down the total seasonal take by only 25 percent. The last proposed change would narrow the guidelines imposed by the federal government on the states for setting hunting seasons. Each state is allowed to set its own hunting season dates within a cer­ tain time period specified at the federal level. The present guide­ lines call for all hunting seasons not to start before Oct. 1 and not to extend beyond the end of January. The proposed guidelines would re­ quire all hunting seasons not to start before Oct. 8 and run longer than Jan. 13. Over the past five years the Mis­ sissippi Flyway has been under a state of "stabilized regulation" Marshalla said, until a study can determine how much affect hunting has on waterfowl populations. Be­ cause there are so many other fac­ tors to be taken into account, though, definitive results are not expected for up to another year, he added. Shepard said that Ducks Unlimit­ ed would prefer that the govern­ ment wait for the results of that study before making any changes in the hunting regulations. He does not believe that increased restrictions on hunting will make that great of a change in the duck populations. Both Marshalla and Shepard agree that what is really needed is a 1 program to preserve and restore the wetlands the waterfowl use for breeding grounds. Shepard said that Ducks Unlimited uses money from its membership dues, fundraising and what little state support it re­ ceives, to acquire long-term leases or options on wetlands. They are theft managed by Ducks Unlimited to. maximize their breeding potential. Marshalla said that a continuing effort is needed by the respective departments of agriculture in both (be U.S. and Canada to save the wetlands. According to Marshalla, tHO proposals are currently under consideration in the U.S. The first would change certain agricultural land set-aside programs, through which farmers are refunded for not planting certain fields. Currently the programs set aside the land on a yearly basis only, but under the proposed change, the land would be set aside for extended periods of time to allow them to return to their natural state. The second proposal under con­ sideration is to eliminate the con­ flicting agriculture and conserva­ tion programs that respectively reimburse farmers for turning wet­ lands into productive fields and (Continued from page IB) spend money to save those same wetlands. Both these proposals should be discussed during the farm Mil talks upcoming in the Congress. Marshalla added that the Illinois Department of Conservation will also be holding a public informa­ tional meeting at 7 p.m., Monday, August 12, at the Rockford Motor Inn, 7550 East State St., Rockford. The meeting is intended to provide a forum for waterfowl hunters and interested persons to discuss the 1965 waterfowl season regulations.
