Hubbard urges 12 grade districts expand educational opportunities
Dr. Ben Hubbard of the School Problems Commission told about 80 Sterling area residents that Illinois hodge podge districts limit student opportunities. He backed unit districts over dual systems, cited Strayer Haig aid, and warned local control is a myth. He urged administrative units of about 20,000 students for effective services and said larger systems offer better financing and resources.

Scenic Rivers bill clears Illinois House with access limits
Illinois House approves Scenic Rivers legislation by a 145 to 20 vote, restricting development within a quarter mile of river banks and requiring Conservation Department approval for new projects. The measure excludes the lower Fox River, drawing criticism from Ralph Freese who urges broader protection. The Rock River segment from the Wisconsin line to Dixon would come under protection pending Senate approval and gubernatorial signature. The Daily Gazette’s Slo Pitch team returns to Dillon Park for a second game, after a disputed loss to Rock Falls Independents, with Pepper’s Con-Oco providing opposition tonight.
