I*pfl§t§ mmm Thursday, DoromW ill. •Hi*i Mental Health Center Among Programs, Worthy Ol Support beginning of a new year, it is good to take a •hm, a,OU us' ma'<e n°te of the many advantages offered In ine community, and resolve to assist as many worthwhile projepts as possible. . \ 4. °ne of these is the Mental Health Center, which needs tne cooperation of the public if it is to continue to serve the needs of the county. h»a Treasurer John G. Sterling has pointed out that while inestate grants an amount of money each year for operation or tne center, it is the obligation of the community to raise a portion of the money before any state funds are available. In oiner words, the community must first contribute or raise ineir portion and then the state will disperse that portion of tne allocation as is applicable. Arnold N. May, fund raising chairman for 1964, recently announced that in order for the center to continue treating patients as it has in the past, and to expand its facilities .as it must in the future to meet increasing demands, it will be necessary to raise a greater amount of money locally. The center is a not-for-profit organization recognized by tne Internal Revenue Service and the state of Illinois; therefore, all contributions are tax deductible. In the last twelve months, 3,100 patient visits were conducted in McHenry. While a < small fee is charged, it is very small compared with the 'hourly cost of the center's operation.

IMPROVEMENTS IN PHONE SERVICE HELP ECONOMY New telephone service improvements, economic contributions to the community and rate reductions were the big jtory for Illinois Bell in the McHenry area during 1964, according to S. F. Jozwiak, Illinois Bell Telephone Co. man* ager. 6 Service improvements during the year included elimination of zone mileage charges on four-party rural service; a program to gradually eliminate rural eight-party service; expansion of after-hours repair service; and the replacement of cables on poles by underground cable to improve service reliability. "The Bell system contributed significantly to the economy of the McHenry area during 1964." Jozwiak said. "Expenditures and payments here, including purchases from local suppliers by Illinois Bell and Western Electric, the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System, were approximately $234,000. Of this amount, $92,800 was paid in wages. Local taxes, including personal property and real estate taxes, totaled $25,700 in the McHenry exchange area. "The communications future holds many more promises for improved telephone services in our area," Jozwiak said. A few are touch-tone calling, electronic switching and direct person-to-person dialing. "It might be a while before McHenry customers realize these new telephone advancements, but they won't have to wait long to realize savings on long-distance calls," Jozwiak says. The Federal Communications Commission announced that on Feb. 1, interstate rates for many station-to-station calls will be reduced, saving telephone customers $100 million annually ... $7 million to be saved by customers in Illinois. "Telephone customers also played a big part in the telephone story last year," said Jozwiak. "They added 500 telephones to bring the tot-il of teleohones in McHenry to 8,700." "And 1 he customer put ilv.vc phones to good use," added Mrs. M./Barton, chief operator. "About 22,300 calls wore made per average weekdays -- that means about 2.8 calls per telephone per day."

SEE AND BE SEEN FOR SAFE WINTER DRIVING The old baseball slogan, "You can't hit 'em if you can't see 'em," applies in reverse to winter driving, according to Richard O. Bennett, secretary*, treasurer, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Washington. D. C. "Winter driving conditions decrease your ability to see and be seen and increase your chances of hitting or being hit by the other car," Mr. Bennett said. Referring to recommendations of the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards, Mr. Bennett offered this four-point formulas for safe winter seeing: 1. Before starting, take a f e w e x t r a m i n u t e s t o c l e a r snow from the windshield and side and back windows. Don't be satisfied with-peep holes. A snow brush with a plastic scraper on one end makes the job easier. 2. Be sure heater and defroster are in good condition and capable of keeping windshield clear and interior windows free from fog. 3. Be sure windshield wipers work, that the blades are in good condition to wipe clearly without streaking. Summer sun hardens the rubber on blades and these should be replaced. Arm pressure of blades against the windshield should be at least an ounce for each inch of blade. If your car has windshield washers, keep the reservoir-filled with the recommended solution--not plain water which could freeze. 4. Check all lights to be sure they work. This means headlights, stop lights, tail lights, and directional signals. Keep them clean by carrying a cloth to wipe off road grime, and a brush to remove snow. Never drive with parking lights instead of headlights in winter's early dusk and poor visibility. News About Our Serwieenei Pvt. Eugene N. Foreman, son of Mrs. Mildred P. Foreman, 1716 N.
