Monday, September 21, 1970 EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER Page 3 Aid to Servicemen, Blood, Safety Theater Group Carwash Members of the Edwardsville High School Dramatics Club spent Saturday washing cars to earn money to improve i theater facilities. About thirty youths worked toward earning $900 to buy new side and rear curtains for the stage at Edwardsville Junior High School, where their productions are held. The group has teamed with the i Theatre here to earn the money. The school district has spent money of its own for a new front curtain for the stage. The new curtain is on order.

Voters will be asked to approve a $465,000 bond issue on Nov. 17 to complete a new theater and gymnasium for the high school. Members of the Drama- tics Club said one of the purposes of the carwash was to impress voters that students themselves were willing to work to improve their own theater facilities.

A brother, Joseph Spengel, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Fricker and Mrs. Louise Wiedner, all of Highland, also survive. Mr. Spengel was born in Bond County, a son of the late John and M.ary Ra-eber Spengel.

He moved to Highland after being discharged from military service after World War I. He was employed as an insurance salesman with York Life Insurance Co. since 1930. Mr. Spengel was a member Highland Power Plant Job Korte Firm Awarded Contract By Emmia Almond Intelligencer Correspondent Highland Ralph Korte Construction Highland, was awarded the contract for the i i to house Highland's expanded municipal light and power plant at a special meeiing of the Highland City Council Friday.

Korte was given the a on an origin-al bid of $205,900. The council immediately allowed a change order on the Korte contract which will bring the actual price to $187.720. Each of three contracts awarded were accompanied by change orders, bringing a total saving oif almost $27,000 from the original bid's. Of 11 bids submitted to the city, the three most 'favorable totaled almost $100,000 over the city's estimates. Other contracts awarded were to Strange and Coleim-an, East St.

Louis, for the plant piping, on an original bid of $179,581, and to Bite Electrical Co. of Granite City for the electrical work in the plant on an original bid of Change orders on these contracts reduced Strange and Coleman's actual to $173,404, and Wright's to The Strange and Colom-ao aw.ard was made subject to submission a letter of intent to complete work by the city's deadline of June 1, 1971. No-rdberg Electric Milwaukee, is prime contractor for the generating equipment on the $1,500,000 bond issue project, wihich will increase the Highland plant's genera-ting capacity fay the addition of two dual-fuel engines. The $100,000 excess of bids over the original estimated price will not effect the financial feasibility of the project, since the bond issue was not intended to cover the full cost and the -city was prepared to absorb up to $300,000 of the cost oif the expansion. Bids had originally been opened at a special meeting Sept.

15. Decision on awarding of the contracts was 'postponed for several to tabulate the bids and to consult with bidders on changes in the specification's. Changes in speicifiicationis on the building were ail on items which do not aitfect the capacity Of the plant, stability of the structure or general aipipear- ance, according to Bnos Pur- ceJl, city manager. He said Wie city would get less expensive finishing details. One oif the items (hat was eliminated, for insta-nce, was hand-T'Ulb'bed finishing of concrete in the baseun-ent of the structure.

By etiminaitinig tihis, the city saved itself $1,100. One major item discussed by council members as a possible savings--Ibut which was finally retained--is a waste heat recovery system for the plaint. This system, am extra not included in many power plants, is an item of about $30,000 expense, but is expected to effect enough savings in fuel to pay for itseW in a relatively short time. Work on construction is expected to stia.pt within the next two weeks, according to Bruce Barnes of Warren and Pra-ag, engineers for city on the project. Barnes said that Korte is prepared to order materials immediately.

Burcell said city crews have already begun clearing the area i-n for cons-tmction Engines are to be delivered by Nordiberg by Dec. 15, and it will be necessary to walls up and pads poured for the engines by that date. Purcell said that the engines to be installed weigh 219 tons each and that each pad will consist of 250 cubic yards concrete, which musit have time to cure before installation ol the engines.

Three Major Programs for Red Cross Here the horrors and toig of wa.r caime the idea wihich was to develop the greatest organization dedicated to the relief of suffering the world has hiTOWin-Jthe Red Gross.

In a pamphlet he had published, Dunaniit wrote, "Would it not -be possible to found and organize in all civilized countries parmanent societies of volunteers who in time of war would heilip the wounded without reg-aud for their -nationality?" Firoim this plea has evolved an League of Red Cross Societies with national or- eanizationiS in 113 As tihe number of Red Cross societies has grown, so has grown the scope olf their operations. Now, in addition to war relief activities, the Red Cross comes to the aid of the victims of all types of calamities -floods, earthquakes, storms, epidemics, internal conflicts.

The organization in tin's country, the American National Red Cross, was founded in 1882 the efforts of Clara Barton. Our national society has grown in membership to more than 30 millions of persons with about 3,400 Local chapters, one of which serves the Ediwards- vi'He-'Gilen Carbon area. The major proigr.aims of the national organization are aid to servicemen a.nd veterans, disaster relief, the blood program, and health and safety instruction. This a.rea is fortunate to be so situated that disasters of a large scope almost never occur. Though we get high winds at times, amy tornadoes are lifted up by the nigh ground to the west and almost never touch dawn locally.

And our position on high grounds also makes a flood virtually impossible. For these reasons, the local chapter of the Red Cross does not maintain a disaster relief fend. If anything calamitous happens, such as a foe, relief Red Cross Girl From Highland Barbara Christoe of Highland, a Red Cross girl who recently completed a tour of service in the Far East, provides a respite from the routine for those soldiers of Camp Casey, Korea. The girls visit weekly, supervis- ing games and activities which help relieve Hie pressures of soldiering and loneliness. funds and supplies can be obtained in short order fronn the St.

Louis facilities. But the local office is very involved with the other three major programs, as well as with 'hundreds of small, miscella.n- eous pr-obfeims that afflict individual residents during the course of a year. The organization is charged by the government wilih the responsibility of mediating in matters involving servieeimen. If an emergency occurs in a serviceman's family, the Red Cross is there to help. It sends the necessary telegrams, often has to locate the people involved, and supplies emergency loans or grants of money needed by the victim.

The local chapter spends up to $800 par year, in phone and telegram costs alone, in situations involving military personnel from this area. The also partial- Fort Massac Work Is Termed Feasible Markets Oora Soybe Wheat $2.68 $1.51 Beicomstructioin oif the American Fort on the Ohio ftivea' at Metropolis is historically, physically and, with development the historic area of Fort Massac State Park, economically feasible, Souitheirn JHinois University's Museum has advised the State Department of Conservation. The museum has cotmipleted and forwa.ndied -to the department a report of its seven-month feasibility study oif the Fort Massac Project, according to Basil Hedriek, ju- seuim director. Historic and archaeological records on the fortress -site have been reviewed and evaluated, and additional archaeological -work has been done this summer by SI'U field cneiws, HedBick said. Restoration of the Americao Fort (1794-1814) rather than either of the two earlier French forts, Fort Aisceniseioo (175717'9) or Fort Mass-ac 17601764), is reicomim.ended, because oif the greater military and political significance of the American installation and the greater wealth of material concerning it, the report points out.

The Aimerican occupancy was longer and more evemtiful. Neither Fireman font had amy known local or gO'vernimental importance, while the American fort served as hea.dqttaiters and port olf emtny for a custoims distTict, a post oi6fi.ee was -maintained there, it served a-s a point of reference for territorial county boundaries, and was a staging for at least one regiment oif volunteers diuning fihe War Of 1812. Woman Killed In Car Wreck An unidentified woman was killed at 9:40 a.m. Sunday when the car in which she was a passenger leifit Illinois 460 at a high rate ol speed and struck a bridge abatement ait the Bypass 50 overhead, according to Illinois State Police. The driver oif the car, Patricia Ann Lauier, 26, Waterloo, wa-s injured and taken to Belleville Memorial Hosipitafl.

Police said the unidentified woman was 4S to 50 years old. She was pronioninc-ed dead at the scene of (Jhe accident. In addition to rcoa struct ion of the font and other elements of the military installation, the report racomimemdis lowering the existing seawa-M on the river bank to an elevation of 336.3 feet (a stage now considered safe by the U. S. Arimy Corps oif Enigineeips) and restoring the slope to approximate earlier conditions; removal of the existing boat ramp, "an anachronism" in the historical setting; improvement of the highway entrance and the entrance vista to the park; construction of surfaced parking facilities, and construction of an adequate visitor center and exhibit facilities.

Also r.eic-oimimeiid.ad are continued documentary research over at least an 18-montti peiiiod before reconstruction is started and accumulation of microfilm records to assure the reconstruction "a-s a viable and reputable historic attraction," The report urges accumulation of historic mate rial on ai. three forts and the people and events associated with theim, to be m-ade available for exhibit and -research purposes; continu- amchaeoloigical research in the area suwoundiing the fort; and a program of publishing both academic papers and publications directed to the general public, initiated by the Fort Massac Project. Keeomimenidiations are that the development project be spread over a four years, 1971 to 1974, with the relatively high initial development costs financed by the state, and later operational costs derived from visitors' fees. Using 1975 as a target date, planning "should anticipate 175,000 visitors per year," the report indicates. Consuiltainit to the museum on the feasibility study was Victor Hogg, nationally recognized authority on historic fort restorations.

Mrs. Mairgairet Brown, who has had extensive experience in excavating and interpreting the excavations in Fort Michili- nracfcinaic, in Michigan, served as archaeologist, and John B. Fortier, historian at Fortress Louisibti.ng, Nova ScoH-a, as project Foriier had prepared in 19S8 a historical study rtf Fort for Wie nvuseuim. "The museum is willing and has the capability to continue to coordinate the Fort Massac Project through to completion of the actual recon a-nict itihe development of the environs," Hedriek said. pates in spoitisoring the Red Cross Giris, a group of young ladies who volunteer to travel to remote places of the world and do what they can to brighten the lives oif ow boys in the armed forces.

Under the Red Cross Blood Prog-ram, i-n which the local chapter participates, blood is available for anyone living in the aire-a in aay amount required. This is very importaat for persons involved in accidents or who contract diseases requiring traniSifusiCMis. Blood Program in Jeopardy But to stay in the program, the chapter must meet its quota of some 1,700 pints of Mood per year, collected by a bloodmobile Which makes 1-2 visits to the area per year. The mob He units makes four stops each in Edwardsville, Highland and at Southern Illinois University. The goal per visit is 150 pints.

Mrs. Dianne Jones, secretary for the local office, reports that, while the visits to Highland and SIU nearly always result in the quota being met, the blood received in Ediward-S'Ville rarely exceeds 80 pints, or barely more than half the quota. For this reason, she said, the program has been in some jeopardy recently. In addition to the contributions of blood, the local chapter is required to pay the national blood center approximately $3,000 to remain in the program. These quotas are based on the population of the area served.

In the health and first aid program, the local office has the services of instructors who are provided for courses scheduled by other local organiza- tions. These training programs are free of charge. The chapter also provides swimming and lifesaving courses at local swimming facilities. The organization's part in these services i-s free, too. The local office is operating on a budget which anticipates expenditures of $15,000 in the 1970-71 fiscal year.

Of this figure, almost $12,500 is going to aid to victims of misfortune. The remaining $2,500 will go to running the office, including salaries, rent, and supplies. Only half of this amount will have to be provided by the Ed- wardiviUe-Grlen Carbon United Fund. The rest will come from other towns in the area and from other United Funds. There are almost 26,000 persons living i-n this f-u-nd region, which makes the cost per person per year of having the services of this organization about 25 cents.

The Red Cross is like the fire department--hopefully, the need for its services will never arise. When the need does arise, however, the Red Cross is ready to help.
