High Achievement To Engineers Is A Stench To Residents

LEWISTOWN. 111. (AP>What's high achievement to the American Society of Civil Engineers is high stench to some residents of Fulton County. On one hand, the engineers a plan to reclaim stripminded land with sewage is a major accomplishment; on the other, the residents of the county where the sewage is dumped aren’t so sure. Since 1971, 160,000 tons of treated sewage has been shipped each year from the Chicago Metropolitan Sanitary District to Fulton County, a sparsely populated area 150 miles southwest of Chicago. 1 he transfer of the sludgeliquid fertilizer, the district

calls it—is part of a plan to reclaim 11,000 acres of sterile, abandoned strip mines purchased by the district. The engineering society announced Tuesday that the Fulton County project is the premier example of civil engineering in the nation for 1974. The society said the Fulton County project “is an implementation of the philosophy that pollution is a resource out of place; a costly and damaging disposal problem becomes an opportunity to return to full agriculture production strip mine soil in northern and central Illinois.” But Fulton County Clerk Emil Sepich announced Tues-

day that a sufficient number of petition signatures have been gathered to hold a November advisory referendum on whether the county should try to halt the project. And Burrel Barash, an attor-

ney representing Fulton County Citizens for Better Health and Environment, commented, “They (the engineers) don’t live in Fulton County. And Fulton County is where the smell is ... The engineers from

Washington to California don’t live near the sludge.” A group of county residents and citizens groups has already sued Fulton County and the sanitary district in an effort to stop the project.

The suit, seeking $1 million in damages, says residents "have been made ill by vile odors and their premises have been rendered unfit for habitation and

use.

The sludge, amounting to 5 to

10 per cent of the sewage produced by the district, is sent by river barge to Fulton County and then sprayed on the barren soil of the old strip mines. Of the II .000 acres owned by the district, 1.500 have been reclaimed and will be planted in corn and soybeans. Another I,000 acres are scheduled for reclamation in the coming

year. District engineers contend the sludge is harmless and causes no odor problem.

Have Their Own Barber

BEVERLY HILLS Calif. (AP) — Andrea Weiner, draped from shoulders to sneakers in a brown gingham cape, is in the chair having her hair styled for a trip to Mexico. Her mother sitting nearby explained that Andrea’s problem is baby fine hair. No surprise, since Andrea is only nine years old It's Tipperary', a beauty salon where baby fine hair is the norm, where it’s not unusual for haircuts to be styled around excised bubblegum gaps, where stylists are trained to cut squirming, if not moving targets, and work around faces hidden in comic books. Andrea, daughter of an insurance executive, goes to Tipperary only three times a year, but many kids in this affluent southern California community have standing appointments. fhe shop is owned and managed by Jack King, a 35-year-old London native, who said he became aware of the need for a children’s salon while he was working as a stylist at a Beverly Hills women’s shop Mothers would bring in their children but no hairdresser was anxious to cut their hair. They were charged full price — sometimes

more at other salons — and generally felt out of place in a room full of women in curlers and pastel smocks. “This is a very affluent community,” said King. “If six-year-olds could drive they would have cars. They have everything.” Unlike adult shops where hair is swept out by the bushels, fallen curls receive loving care. For a first haircut, a Polaroid picture is taken and a strand tied in ribbon is placed in a small envelope marked “Precious locks.” Sometimes grandparents come in with movie cameras to film the event. Children can be given gift certificates to the salon and each child gets a small toy when leaving. The salon is decorated from floor to ceiling in cute, kiddie decor — murals, animal mobiles, balloons. A sign declares that through Tipperary’s portals pass the world's most beautiful children. In large canisters are animal rrackers and lollipops. Games, typewriters and dolls abound and there are two pinball and Pachinko machines. The lemon yellow barber chairs are scaled down to children's size and have seat belts for in-

a

ter-

fants. Instead of women’s fashion magazines, the kids have Jack and Jill, Seventeen and

Ingenue, among others.

As King talked, 8-year-old Jill Levy entered the shop leading her father by the hand. “1 think the whole school goes here,” said Bert Levy, a retired textile manufacturer, as his daughter headed for the pinball machines. "The kids love it. I think

barber shop can be very

rifying for a kid."

A shampoo is $2.50, a cut $5. King said the kids are good tippers, though one little girl got confused and gave the money

to a parent.

The shop also has manicures, pedicures, permanent waves and hair straightening but not facials — "Most kids have beautiful skin,” said King — or hair coloring, though some kids have had their hair dyed by their mothers.” Lacking rigidity, different parts of the sun spin at various speeds. Scientists believe the turbulence thus generated forces giant twisting loops of electrified gas to break through the surface, forming sunspots.

Arlin Adams, explaining the reason for the low-cost checkups. “We saw that they had waited too long, and when they came for health care it was too late.” Pastor Adams, a Lutheran

The examinations at the hospital were made possible through "Operation: Health Saving,” which combined the town’s medical and volunteer resources.

For the same diagnostic services given in Waukon for SI, Medicare patients elsewhere must pay the first $84 of the total charge, he said. “It doesn’t sound like much, but to an aged person on a limited income, it’s an appreciable barrier to obtain the health care they need.” Dunn said.
