Thursday, November If, 1964 THE McKENBV PLAINDEALEH . . , ' ?f "PF "r (rg - T|^~ . ..-. ^ _••• _ :m SdsSten Two -- Paga On*; Building At Children's Home This special aerial view shows the Woodstock ; Children's Home and Sunset Manor, homes operated by the „ Free Methodist church and supported by public contribu- - tions, to help those who require assistance. This View taken by Don Peasley shows, from left: Harrison House, home for teen-age children; main building of the Children's Home; Sunset Manor, and the Free Methodist church. Remodeling the main building of the Woodstock Children's home to adapt it for the new concept in child care at the seventy-eight-year-old institution will begin in mid-1965. ' The Rev. Clifford Redding, executive director of the home, ^explained that the present" main building will be used to house one of the smaller groups to be established under the new concept in child care Yiow in effect. He said the main building \vill serve as a centralized buying and storage center and •that the present dining room land parlor will be remodeled .to serve as a school. The home has conducted supervised study for many years under the direction of staff members. Under the new concept, four area teachers have been hired to help four evenings a week so that individualized education is available to youngsters who require it. Under the new plan going into effect on a step-by-step basis through June, 1968, the home plans to house children in family-type living units with houseparents. . The buildings will be elected in Woodstock at several locations in the residential area and will include an apartment for the house parents and eight bedrooms for the children. From eight to twelve children of both sexes and varying ages will live in these homes. Establishment of family-type living facilities is an effort to de-institutionalize the child care. In keeping with the new concept, the number of children at the home has been permitted to drop from about fifty a year ago to thirty-nine today. The board of directors has approved the three-pronged program following careful study by staff members and state welfare agency specialists. "As we learn more abo,ut the emotionally disturbed facets of children's lives, we realize the standing of each child's feel- Urgent need fof greater underings and problems," Reverend Redding said. "We plan to have trained specialists in the fields of psychiatry and psychology available to help. Our house parents will undergo continuous training. "A psychiatric consultant comes to the home monthly now. A trained psychometrist to give and evaluate psychological testing is working with us, too." As an example of the stepped- up training program for staff members, Marvin Gearheart is attending a course at the University of Illinois for child care workers. David O'- Dell will enroll in the next class. AREA HOSPITAL OBSERVES 50TH YEAR OF SERVICE "When you meet the people in our laboratory and x-ray departments at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, you'll know you are in competent hands," Jack Byers observed this week. Byers, president of the board of directors of the hospital which serves McHenry county, explained the reason why these staff members instill confidence in everyone with whom they come in contact. "They radiate this confidence because they are fully-trained and are personable individuals who place patient care uppermo? t." Byers called attention to the work of these specialized departments as Memorial Hospital continues to mark its fiftieth yea.' of service to McHenry county. The hospital completes its fiftieth year in January. Four local teachers are assisting with the supervised study--Miss Alice Wilcox, Bill Pictor, Mrs. Margaret Lewellyn and Ernest Nicol. Advertise - It Pays VOTE COUNTERS ARE SUBJECT TO SECURITY TAX Wage payments made to vote counters and ballot box transporters as well as election judges are covered by social security, it was announced by Barnett, district manager of the Waukegan Social Security office. The Attorney General of Illinois has ruled that persons employed to conduct and assist in the recent election in all counties and^municipalities participating in the social security program are required to pay the social security tax on their earnings. Such payments must be made by both the employees and the county or municipality, even though they may have worked on only one day. It is important that persons so employed report their social security number to the proper local officials at the time they are paid or before. Barnett said some counties, in order to reduce the clerical work involved, are also asking election workers to fill out their own Form W-2, Withholding Tax Statement, at the time they re ceive their pay checks. The University of Illinois has begun plans for its 12th biennial Festival of Contemporary Arts in 1965. V. F. W.
