Undfitaoding Th? CI?n Air Act Dabf
By Robert Georgin<
An urgent matter now
before Congreai is one in
volving health, the environ
ment and jo t>? It ie the
Clean Air Act, and the de
bate ia about the moat ef
fective methoda to clean the
air and keep it clean.
Paradoxically, current law
diacouragee the building of
new highly controlled indua
trial and energy planta, and
encourage# the continued
operation of older plants
which are leas efficient,
energy intensive and higher
polluting.
A legislative proposal in
? the House of Representa
tives, the Luken-Dingell bill,
would change this.
It provides a mechanism
for administrative extensions
of compliance deadlines,
provided the request for ex
tension does not include
any backsliding from al
ready achieved air quality.
It requires new plants to
install the best system of
air pollution controls and
where needed, older plants
to upgrade their air pollu
tion controls.
It eliminates a provision
of air quality regulations,
called increments, that ev
ery observer of the law has
found of doubtful value.
It preserves and allows
states to expand the nurn
ber of pristine air quality
It would recognise acid
rain studies.
It recognizes that new
ears are three-to-five times
leas polluting than some
older vehicles.
Many people concerned
about our air and our econ
omy are asking their legis
lators where they stand on
the bill, writing to senators
at the U.S. Senate, Wash
ington, D.C. 20610, rep
resentatives at the House
of Representatives, Washing
ton, D.C. 20616.
Mr. Georgine fa Presi
dent of the Buildirtp and
Construction Trades Deport
ment, AFL-CIO. His depart
ment, which represents 15
trade unions and speaks for
4.1 million workers, is one
of the strongest backers of
the Luken-Dingell bill.
Congrats it considering
? bill that could im
prove air quality and
employmant in America.

Our Small-Business People
Whatever happened to
the independent small-busi
nesa person? You know the
ones ?they were their own
bosses, made their own
hours, kept their own rec
ords, bought and main
tained inventories, paid all
expenses on their own and
earned what they deserved
because their reward was di
rectly related to their effort.
They were the tradesmen,
drovers, lumberjacks and
Yankee peddlers of the 18th
century, around the time
our country was founded.
Ever wonder if such inde
pent, self-directed spirits
exist today?
They do, indeed ?some
nine million strong at the
latest estimate.
Today's independent
business people show the
same spirit of self-determi
nation and self-sufficiency
exhibited by their predeces
sors in Revolutionary times.
We find them in trucking,
owning and operating their
.own rigs; in construction,
erecting America's buildings;
in real estate, showing and
selling America's homer; in
logging, cutting and hauling
timber from our nation's
forests; in insurance, help
ing others protect their prop
erty, and in direct selling,
selling products on commis
sion or purchasing products
at wholesale and marketing
? ' '
them to other* at retail in
home* across the nation.
These independent, (elf
employed individual*,
known as independent con
tractors, willingly forgo the
so-called security of being
someone else's employee in
exchange for the opportuni
ty to go out and build
a business on their own ?
taking the risks, certainly,
but with confidence and de
termination that they will
succeed and reap the rewards
as well. They like their free
dom and know that they
can achieve success, both fi
nancial and personal, based
on their own talent and
hard work.
Look around. Today's in
dependent contractors might
well be your beat friend*
jor next-door neighbors. Con
gratulate them ?they 're con
tributing to our society in
the finest tradition of Amer
ican free enterprise.

During the past few days
we have begun to receive a
sprinklingof calls that will
develop into a deluge within a
few weeks. An insect known
as the Japanese beetle has
begun to arrive on the scene
again and will wreak havoc in
some areas before they dis
appear in about two months.
1 have heard Japanese
beetles called everything from
their correct name to sex bugs
-or miniature tumblebugs. Re
gardless of the name that is
used for these pests, they do
create quite a problem
in this area beginning about
mid-June. ,
One reason that Japanese
beetles create such a problem
is that they arrive in vast
numbers and feed on more
than 275 different plants.
Last year the heaviest invasi
on of Japanese beetles came
about at the same time that
our corn crop was in the
silking stage. Since mature
silks are one of the favorite
foods of these beetles, we had
a tremendous number of calls
regarding beetles and poten
tial damage to corn. Yet, as
we observed those fields, the
beetles had infested the corn
plants usually two or three
days after pollination had
occurred. Therefore, we had
little damage on the com crop
even through it appeared
quite the opposite during die
infestation.
Japanese beetles area little
less than one-half inch long
and are a shiny, mettalic
green. They have coppery
brown wings and are usually
distinguishable since they
congregate in extremely large
numbers. The beetle spends
about ten months of the year
in the ground in the form of a
white grub that is about one
inch long. Following pupa
tion, they develop into the
beetle that is so common in
this area. The period of
greatest activity for the Beetle
is from four to six weeks.
Therefore, since we are see
ing a few of them now, we can
expect a large number to
exist throughout the rest of
June and the month of July.
Control of these pests is
normally handled through
chemical means. Both Sevin
and malathion will control
these beetles, but Sevin does
receive the stronger re com
mendstion However, time
liness sad thoroughness of
spppjication at these insecti
cides are very important.
Treatments should begin as
soon as the beetles appear
and before damage is done.
The insecticides should be
used only on plants where the
beetles exist.
In regard to other control
measures there have long
existed a Japanese beetle trap
that has a sexual attractant to
entice the beetles to enter the
trap. The only problem with
these traps, which is signif
icant, is that in heavy infesta
tions such vast numbers of'
beetles are attracted to the
general area at the trap that
more beetles ?<~tually arrive
on the scene and cause
damage than would exist
otherwise. Therefore, it is
obvious that the traps are less
than effective when the inten
ded purpose is to reduce
the population of these pesky
beetles.
For further information re
garding Japanese beetles, a
timely call to the Extension
Office is advised.

In Loving Memory...
OVER THERE
Over there, Papa, there'll be
no more pain.
You'll be able to enjoy the
sunshine again.
Over there you'll have a body
that's brand new,
You'll have two full legs too.
1 know sometimes that we
have to live in fate.
But we have to live with love,
not hate.
Over there you'll see the
face of Jesus,
And live forevermore, and
thank him for our sins that he
bore.
Over there we won't have to
worry about loved ones that
are gone,
Because we'll all be at
last-home!
Papa, don't worry about leav
ing us all here,
We're right behind you, ex
cept you're nearer.
Don't worry about what you
are leaving behind,
This world was so much
trouble and such a bind.
I wish I could go with you, but
you know I can't stay
With Johannah and Daddy to
take care of I can't get away.
One day if the Lord sees fit,
I'll be up there with you and
with Jesus we'll sit.
II know we didn't get to talk
much on earth,
But up there we'll have a new
birth.
We'll talk and talk while the
ages roll,
And together we'll see the
sights untold.
Nobody will be able to pull us
apart,
Because we'll be in Heaven
with a brand new heart.
With a shining crown, and a
spotless robe, eyes that's
perfect and hair that's aglow.
Won't it be grand to be in that
place, but the greatest thing *
is to see Jesus' face.
Tell Jesus I'm coming and it
won't be long,
I've had too much pain and
suffering. .that's my
So tell the angels to step
aside.
My Papa is coming and his
yearning won't subside. 1
The angels will have to sing a
new song, "Roll back those
clouds and step on."
I'm gonna miss you, Papa,
but my love will stay the
same,
I'm not perfect, but I can't
complain.
Heaven is waiting with her
arms open wide.
Waiting for you to step
inside..
No more sorrows or pain to
bear, I'D see you one day,
Papa, over there!!
