The following year, because of an austerity program, inspection and enforcement were virtually non-existent, and boating deaths rose to 23, be said. IN ILLINOIS, property damage associated with boating declined dramatically between 1970 and 1971, with $190,828 in damage in 1970, compared to $73,800 in 1971. Reportable accidents and the numbers of boats involved also dropped in that time, he said, with 98 reportable accidents involving 133 boats in 1970, and 88 accidents involving 112 boats in 1971.

Ken Gruenewald, of the boat safety section of the Illinois Department of Conservation, said there were "well over" 200,000 valid boat registrations in effect in the state at the end of the 1971 calendar year, a figure more than double that of a decade ago. The Illinois boating act was implemented in 1959, and by 1981 the state bad 101,000 boats registered.

That year, Gruenewald said, 61 persons died in boating accidents. In 1971, with more than 200,000 boats registered, there were only 29 fatalities related to boats in the state. TO REDUCE deaths, injuries and property damage associated with boating even more in coming years, the conservation department's boat safety section has this year implemented a Young Boatman Safety course, now being offered in junior high schools, high schools and 20 colleges in the state. Presently, Gruenewald said, some 8,000 junior high and high school youngsters are taking the course, which is offered like driver education programs, on a strictly voluntary basis. To date, Gruenewald said, nine other states have contacted the Illinois department for information about the education program and for assistance in setting up similar programs in their states.

Gruenewald credited strict enforcement of boating regulations as the key to reducing deaths, injuries and boat-associated property damage. He cited the example of Arizona, with comparatively few boats in relation to Illinois.

Beginning Bridge is the other curs. Injuries dropped only slightly between 1970 and 1971, from 76 to 73. Major causes of accidents, Gruenewald said, was collision, with 29 such cases reported among the 88 accidents.

This represents a change, he said, from past trends in which capsizing was the largest accident cause. Capsizing, usually a result of overloading or poor boat management, dropped to 13 cases in 1971, Gruenewald said, with 17 cases of falling overboard reported. Seven deaths resulted from capsizing, with the largest number of deaths reported for Cook county, followed by Lake county, Rock Island and Will counties. Age wise, Gruenewald said, there were 27 major accidents reported for the 30 to 39 year group, 26 each for the 20 to 29 and 40 to 49 group, and only 10 reported accidents involving boaters under 20 years of age.

It's a big break for Republican Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie and is certain to boost his uphill campaign for a second term. Most surprising about the development is that it la top Democrats themselves who are apparently taking Ogilvie off the hook. The abrupt shift in the tax situation began when Mayor Richard J.

Daley told reporters that the city of Chicago should be given the authority to levy a city income tax if it so chose. Later he elaborated that he was not currently proposing an HELP! HELP! income tax for Chicago, but that it is more equitable than the property tax and that the city should have the power to levy whatever tax it considered best The legislature would have to grant such power. But, the Daley comments were only the curtain-raiser. The big break came later when Lt Got. Paul Simon, acknowledged front-runner for the Democrat nomination for governor, formally proposed that the state increase the income tax on individuals as part of a restructuring of the Illinois tax system that would include elimination of some taxes and reduction of others.

IN BIS prepared statement Simon said: "The truth is that we know in what direction we should go. We must move away from the present personal property tax and the real estate tax for the financing of education toward greater reliance on the income tax, both to guarantee quality educational opportunities for all Illinois children, and to have a fairer tax structure." Ogilvie quickly snapped up the political football and commented that he is "flatly opposed to any increase in the income tax" and charged that "it is apparent the Democrats are determined to increase that tax." The Simon strategy has come as somewhat of a sur- prise at the Statehouse. The income tax has been considered tiie biggest handicap to OgUvie's reelection hopes and it had been believed that Simon and the Democrats would do nothing to blur the public inclination to blame Ogilvie solely for it. THE DEMOCRAT shift rep--esents success for the Ogilvie strategy of frankly accepting responsibility for the Income tax and stressing that without it Illinois would long ago have slipped into financial chaos. Perhaps the Ogilvie frank approach is going over with the voters and thus Simon decided to adopt it, too.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the entire tax structure involving the federal, state and local government will face revamping in the next year or so. The public is gradually becoming aware of this and as a result any political campaigning that would simply berate Ogilvie for the state income tax might not go over as well as originally hoped. Ironically what voter influence the income tax has may now hurt Simon in the primary rather than Ogilvie in the general election. Walking Dan Walker, Simon's hard-working primary foe, jumped into battle right on the heels of the first Daley comments. Walker pledged that if elected governor he would veto any bill to permit a city income tax.

Walker can be expected to fire heavily at the Simon stand oa the tax issue.

Whafs happening with the U.S.? -I What has happened to this great country of ours? Have we rejected sanity in favor of lunacy? Is our moral decay so complete that we deny our children the heritage they deserve? We permit the bureaucrats to bus our children against our wishes, and continue to elect these same culprits to office. Our schools have become indoctrination centers against all traditional values. God, family and country are now debunked in the classroom, and the student is led to believe that bis parents thinking belongs in the stone age. The classical literature of past years has little space in our modern classroom, and it's place has been taken by the profane literature dealing with social gospel. Cigarettes are on the banned list, marijuana is to be legalized.

Crime is rampant and they're closing prisons. We face the most fearful enemy of all time while we are disarming. We bear the burden of taxation, and for our pains we are the most oppressed. To be proud of one's race earns the label of bigot, and to oppose the destruction of one's community brings on the wrath of all the hypocritical bleeding hearts and their allies, the left-wing press. People are fleeing this madness, with last year teeing 40,000 leave.

However, they were those we can't afford to lose, the decent law-abiding citizen. Is our destiny another Sodom and Gomorrah? WALTER OHLSON 3305 Wesley ave.
