the emergency fund but won't

would keep us from getting
swamped. Don't you think I am

court injunctions to prevent the
pollution or threatened pollu-
ton of Illinois waters. 1t will

Passage of the legislation by
the Illinois assembly before it's
recent adjournment marked
the elimination of a three-year
anti-pollution crusade spear

this time the league has rallied
