NEWS FROM ILLINOIS CLEAN STREAMS COMMITTER 
This committee was organized in LaSalle, Mlinois, on Dec. 9th, 1962, Robert Buzard, 
606 E. 9th Street, Sterling, I1l., is the chairman. The committee is affiliated 
with the Illinois Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, the Tllinois Division of the 
Izaak Walton League, end the Illinois Audubon Society. It is seeking to organize 
"elean streams committees" in all 102 Illinois counties. Up to now, the two counties 
with the strongest organizations are Cook and Whiteside. The pollution of our water 
is generally considered our number one resource problem and a national disgrace in 
the world's wealthiest nation. Part of the platform of the ICSC is-- 1. Promote 
and maintain an aggressive and unified clean water program. 2. Press for control 
of insecticides which pollute streams and lakes. 3. Foster better enforcement of 
laws and enactment of new ones if necded. 4. Assist in fund-raising for water 
pollution control programs of conservation groups. 5. Enlighten government bodies 
of true conditions in their area and notify them of pollution violators. 6. Main- 
tain a regular liaison service for exchange of information with fellow organizations 
on matters of mutual concern.
