Cache River group pushes plan for Upper Cache Conservancy District
A steering committee urges forming a conservancy district to cover all or parts of six southern counties including Union Johnson Pope Alexander Pulaski and Massac. The district would sponsor at least 12 watershed developments and cooperate with state and federal agencies such as the U S Army Corps of Engineers on water and natural resource projects. A 1962 effort failed when Alexander’s county opposed inclusion.

Council forms to boost jobs for the physically handicapped
Carbondale officials and Southern Illinois University professor Randall Nelson discussed forming a Southern Illinois Council for the Employment of the Physically Handicapped. George Conn of the Governors Commission said six councils exist statewide and urged cooperation with the State Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Nelson aims to involve employers and labor groups to support employment programs, noting small initial responses to outreach and optimism for continued state support under Governor Ogilvie despite administration changes. A second item lists a home remedy for blackheads using oatmeal and herbal powders.
