From the left, Mrs. Beverly Fletcher, Mrs. Gould, Mrs. John Eggum, Mrs. Stewart Phannstiehl, Mrs. Helen Williams and Mrs. Mardell Swanson in front of table. I The Easter Seal auxiliary of McHenry county is one of the pio&t valuable sources of financial assistance to the Easter Seal thereapy center operated by the McHenry eounty chapter Of the Illinois Association for the Cripple, Inc. Under the leadership of Mrs. Edna Gould, this organization was started in April of 1963 at the insistence of the former president, Dr. Bertha Shafer. Dr. Shafer pursuaded Mrs. Gould of the value of such an auxiliary and Mrs. Gould took the necessary steps to start the program. Mrs. Gould, in speaking of the membership' of the auxiliary, asserts "the nucleus of any auxiliary is women dedicated to the cause who will work to the best of their ability to help others less fortunate than themselves. Among the money-making projects of the auxiliary that benefits the Easter Seal center are the Round Robin bridge, the Christmas cards, the resale project and gift shop at the center. Among their donations to the center the auxiliary has given in the past year $500 to buy a three-year supply of linens as well as other items of equipment including the expenditure recently of $667 for equipment that combines ultra-sound with electrical stimulation. These things have assisted greatly in the operation of the center. Many projects have been undertaken during the year such as the Kiwanis-Lions basketball game and the Lions club ham dinner. These events, however, are marked for the building fund and helps in gradually paying off the mortgage on the Easter Seal center building. Funds taken in each year during the campaign are not sufficient to defray all expenses. Salaries of the Easter Seal physical thereapist and director, also his assistant, the two summer speech therapists and the part time secretary at the center this past year totalled $15,300, which is $300 more than the 1966 goal of $15,000. RED CROSS LISTS PRECAUTIONS IN TORNADO AREAS GOING BUiJGY on the cost of Movie Film? TH SPECIALS 8mm C@1@f Movie Processing « Included TAUifS Studio & Camera Center 1318 X. Riverside Dr. PHONE 385-0275 Tornadoes usually strike quickly and without much warning, and the American Red Cross, in anticipation of the coming tornado season, has issued advice on methods of precaution. Last year the most destructive tornadoes in more than a decade struck on Palm Sunday, April 11, at Crystal Lake when thirty-seven twisters hit in six midwestern states and took 271 lives. If a tornado funnel is spotted, the Red Cross suggests these methods of precaution: In open country, find the nearest ditch and get in it. In town, find a strong building and take shelter, being careful to stay away from windows. At home, go to the basement or storm shelter and huddle against the wall facing the approaching storm. If no cellar is available, take cover behind some heavy piece of furniture placed against an inside wall. If there is time, open a door or window on the side of the building away from the approaching storm to mitigate rapid changes in air pressure and prevent the house from exploding. After a tornado passes, hazards still remain, according to William Tittle, chairman of the Red Cross disaster activities in the McHenry county area. Among the hazards encountered after a tornado strikes are fallen power lines, broken glass, loose bricks and timber. Clean-up efforts should be carried out in daylight by adults, or teenagers supervised by adults, he said. Shop In McHenry McHINiY DRAPISIY & CARPi?

LARRY MITCHELL Rev. Larry Mitchell, M. A. (Presbyterian) will be at the Ringwood church Monday evening at 8 p.m. April 4. The session will be on "The Christian Faith meets The Psychologists". Rev. Mitchell has recently served as subject of the Princeton Experiment in Hypnosis which sent him into the world of the mentally ill. He is now on a speaking tour originating from Princeton university, Princeton, New Jersey. When daylight saving time was adopted by the United States Congress as a wartime measure in 1918, few realized the confusion that would be plaguing the nation forty-eight years later. At last it appears that the Congress will undo the confusion by enacting the Uniform Time Act of 1966 (H.R. 6785). Having passed the U. S. House of Representatives recently by a whopping 292 to 93 margin, the bill is now awaiting action by the Senate. The current confusion (which H.R. 6785 seeks to correct) results from the patchwork of k* cal and state laws which regulate time within their respecr tive official jurisdictions. Thirty- six states have some provision for the observance of daylight saving time, but in only eighteen states does it apply throughout- the entire state. In the other eighteen states, daylight saving time operates on a local option basis, which means that parts of such states are on daylight saving time and the other parts remain on standard time. Furthermore, in the thirty-six var'ous states, daylight saving time begins and ends on different dates. The daylight saving time program in most areas begins on the last Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October. Illinois and Wisconsin observe uniform daylight saving time periods on a statewide basis, but only two other areas in the country have developed this degree of cooperation between neighboring states. Deviations from uniformity are so marked that, in one state, the exercise of local option produced twentyTthree different combinations of starting and stopping dates for daylight saving time.

Phone 385-4500 state flatly forbids the observance of daylight saving time within its borders. • The measure, which has now passed the House of Representatives, would require states which observe daylight saving time to (1) establish statewide * daylight saving time and (2) begin daylight saving time on the last Sunday in April and to end it on the last Sunday in October. This still leaves state legislatures free to reject daylight saving time, if the federal measure would prohibit the continuation of local option which has scattered changes in time, from town to town, within some states of the Union. In addition to aiding the confused citizens of the nation the measure-if passed by the Senate--will result in large savings for railroads and other elements of the transportation industry. It is estimated that railroad and bus lines alone will save more than a million dollars in the. mere printing of schedules, not to mention the saving of many man-hours which go into . the compiling and revising of schedules occasioned by the variety of times observed. " Many other benefits, such as safety on the highways, increased opportunities for recreation, and savings on illumination are involved in the adoption of daylight saving measures. However, the Congress has been concerned primarily with establishing uniformity and eliminating sonfusion. Some persistent objections to the federal daylight saving time measure were voiced on the floor of the House of Representatives in behalf of rural and isolated communities which prefer to establish their own local time independent of state and federal interests. These lone voices yielded to the overwhelming national interest in establishing uniform time patterns. The new law would become effective on April 1, 1967.

In addition to the large cash savings which will be realized by the transportation industry, it is encouraging to the taxpayei to know that the Uniform Time Act of 1966 will require no federal appropriation.
