2 EDWARDSVILLE 'fNTELLIGENCER "Scrounged" Equipment Aids Program The Education and Recreation Committee of the Madison County Board, has resorted to military men call "scrounging" to get the equipment needed for its parks development program. The committee, which has a low operating budget, was able to borrow the chipper shown in the photo from the state Highway Department to reduce trees and brush to mulch. The work shown is being done at the county-owned site on South Main Street, which the committee hopes to have designated as a county park. Committee member Wayne Bridgewater was able to. get the truck from an upstate Army depot as surplus.

The truck cost the county only $300. Bridgewater picked up two just like it formerly used by the Army as troop carriers--at the same price for the county Civil Defense department. The worker in the photo is one of several working for the county through the Emergency Employment Program. Committee chairman Louis Whitsell said the group is seeking out services and equipment from any governmental units who will give or loan them. "Tax-supported bodies should work together to provide services for people and to keep equipment bought with tax dollars from going to waste," he said.

(I Photo) Dove Felts' Column Connecticut Gets a New Song By David V. Felts Of Lindsay-Schaub Newspapers The governor of Connecticut signed an executive order the other day to make "The Hills of My Connecticut" the official state song. He said he was tired of being greeted, at official appearances outside the state, with "Boola Boola," the Yale football fight song. The new official state song is practically unknown. It might be adapted to any state as "The Hills of My North Dakota," or West Virginia or New Mexico.

Illinois, the Prairie State, might join in the chorus with a hymn to the Ozark foothills in the Shawnee National Forest, But we prefer to sing "By thy rivers gently flowing," and so does the University of Illinois after the ritual unveiling for "Illinois Loyalty." There are 1,400 religious journals in this country but the advertising agences recognize a "Big Seven," the Interfaith Group of Religious Magazines which can take four-color advertisements.

Clark said that he returned home at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and found that the front door of the house was unlocked and that another door was standing open. Missing in the latest burglary, he said, were items valued at over $500, including a $300 guitar. Clark told deputies that the house had also been burglarized Saturday.

Of This Oh Yes And That: When friends found a dead wren on the premises they were immediately concerned for the fledglings which had been so noisy in a wren house in a backyard tree. The rescue mission was too late.

Despite the best efforts of retired M.D., the baby birds died --aE seven of them. Seven seemed to be a tot ot baby wrens. But in the Encyclopedia Britannica we read that the nest of the wren "usually contains from three to nine eggs." Note of disillusion: Walter Cronkite doesn't actually look out the window of. his broaii- cashing booth at a national convention directly down to the convention floor. The view is achieved by electronic gimmickry and is made realistic by good old Walter's considerable talents as a Thespian.

Sure, we admire Walter Cronkite. But his newscast of yesterday is no good for wrapping garbage, or cleaning fish.

'The Real Issue Is: Who Am Running Mates Struggle to Become Better Known By Michael Robinson Of the Associated Press Springfield While Richard B. Ogilvie and Daniel J.

Walker battle to make their known in the race for the governorship, their running mates struggle to make their names known. "The real issue," says'James Nowlan, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, "is: Who am Neil Hartigah, his Democratic adversary, is no better known. Both men were baridpicked by party elders for i unsullied images. Hartigan, clear-eyed with a thatch of flaming red hair-and a bone-pulverizing handshake, is the type of clear-cut, young Irish lawyer that has been a fixture in Chicago Democratic; circles for as batter toward Walker, who Meanwhile, the other cleancut man who wanted to be lieutenant governor, Mayor Neal Eckert of Carbohdale, still is struggling to pay off a campaign debt of several thousand dollars.

Nowlan, a state representative from rural Toulon, is often regarded as a political ingenue. "Jim Nowlan knows as much about politics as that couch you're sitting on," 'cracks a statehouse oldtimer. But a running mate free from the taint of backroom wheeling and dealing-is just what Ogilvie this year. Another factor that sold party leaders on Nowlan and Hartigan Is comparative youth. Nowlan is 30; and Hartigan is 34.

Nowlan, at times, can sound a bit patrician. He once told a group of reporters that one of his House colleagues, Rep. Thomas J. Hanaban, is "handsome in a sort of crude, plebian way." Such judgments have not Area Deaths Mrs. Burroughs Dies Mrs.

Chess Appeals Panel Rejects Fischer Plea Reykjavik, Iceland (AP) An appeals committee rejected today Bobby Fischer's protest against his loss of Thursday's world championship chess'game by forfeit. The four-man committee supported the decision of chief referee Lothar Schmid to award the game to Boris Spassky because Fischer failed to ip- pear. The decision left Fischer two games down'in a 24-game match where Fischer needs the equivalent of 12 victories and a draw to take Spassky's title.

Fischer stayed in his hotel room Thursday and refused to play unless three cameras filming the match for movie and television sales were removed from the hall. Since the American challenger lost the first game on Wednesday, Schmid's forfeit ruling gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Schmid said the third game of the match would 1 be held on schedule Sunday, but the future of the match was very much in doubt. Jury Indicts Six Veterans Tallahassee, Fla.
