NEW BUILDING IS "SERVANT" FOR COMMUNITY (Continued form Page 1) building, the clever arrangement by the architect that places the closet and toilet in each room on the outer wall to give rooms a more open feeling; and the efficient way that emergencies can be handled. A special emergency entrance, easily spotted as persons drive to the front parking area, is available to whisk people into special emergency facilities. These are hear the operating rooms on the first floor, and all equipment required for emergency treatment is centered in this emergency area. The carpeting in patient area represents the first installation of this kind in Illinois, George P. Freund, president of the board, said as he watched with satisfaction the steady flow of visitors to inspect their hospital. Tests conducted under supervision of the Illinois Department of Health showed that carpeting is equally sanitary With tile and provides a much quieter hospital. The construction program that began in September, 1964, included 119 beds and the complete requirements of a hospital. Only the maternity department with eighteen beds and eight bassinets, a small patient area, and the former administrative offices converted into enlarged kitchen and dining facilities will be used from the 1961 building program, Freund explained. In Service Soon An all-new hospital with a modern patient care approach goes into service next weekend. The Progressive Patient Care setup also impressed visitors, and they viewed the Intensive Care Unit where patients who are seriously ill will receive maximum care under constant attention of skilled personnel. Heart monitoring equipment, heart pacemaker, oxygen, and other means of helping the seriously ill are included. The Intermediate Care Unit and the Ambulatory Care Unit are other facets of the Progressive Patient Care arrangement. Women of the woman's auxiliary served refreshments during open house and they also assisted the nursing and hospital staff as tour guides. Mrs. Harry Stinespring was in charge of the tours for the auxiliary. i mm f?

Messages from Rep. Robert McClory and Gov. Otto Kerner were read. State Senator Robert Coulson, Rep. Thomas Hanahan and Crystal Lake Mayor Louis Goosens were among political figures present. Miss Manda Roe, first administrator of the hospital, was among the early visitors Saturday when persons in the medical profession and hospital field attended a preview showing. Many members of medical staffs of Chicago area hospitals came to tour the hospital. Nurses and former nurses who worked in the old hospital came to see the new one. Officials of other hospitals in the county came and Tony Corcoran McHenry hospital administrator, gave them a personal tour as they discussed in detail the various facets of the new hospital and reasons for some of the innovations. Among persons that George P. Freund, board president and former mayor, presented was Virgil Pollock, the man who headed the fund drive that helped make construction become a reality. Pollock observed that "now you can see where your money went and how well it was used." Freund said with the completion of the new hospital, "We have a wonderful place to go when we are sick or hurt. Some of us will spend our last days of our lives here. Most of us will walk out healed or cured." He said men with vision took time to visit other hospitals throughout the country to pick the best features from them. With $169,000 pledged by the medical staff and $234,198 from citizens of community, construction was possible in late 1S64. He praised the coooperation and efforts of the board of directors, members of the medical and hospital staffs. Woman's Auxiliary, and city officials. Mayor Donald P.

Kenneth Espey, McHenry police officer, said this week. Because vacations are for relaxation and pleasure, many drivers fail to take the proper precautions to insure a safe and happy trip. Sgt. Espey gave the following advice for preparing fpr that annual vacation ! Before starting on your vacation' trip, make sure your tires, lights, wipers, steering and brakes are all in top con-1 dition. The following equipment should be in your car! First aid kit. emergency flares and a flashlight, and most important-- seat belts. Plan your trip to include time for a break every two hours. Make sure you can do most of your driving in the daytime. Remember, darkness increases driving hazards, especially in strange locations. End your driving early and get an early start the next morning. Unless you are in familiar surroundings, you will need to check a road map on the trip. Be sure to pull off the road and stop for anything that requires your attcntipn or. might distract from the fulltime job of driving. J If you are going to pull a trailer, practice in empty park-r ing before you leave. Rememr bcr, pulling a trailer requires different driving methods. In a strong cross wind you will need to reduce your speed. Most states require that your speed be reduced under normal conditions because of the addition- COUNTY BANKER NAMED OFFICER OF STATE GROUP Dirk H. Groen president of the First National Bank and Trust Co. of Pekin was elected president of the Illinois Bankers association at their seventy- fifth annual convention held in Peoria.

Make sure you have complied with the special regulations for towing and be certain the trailer is in a safe traveling condition. Don't overload the family car for that vacation trip. Remember, acceleration is slower, stopping distance longer,' sway on curves greater. Be sure that car top carriers are secured and not overloaded. Keep items off your back window shelf. For a safe vacation trip, p r a c t i c e d e f e n s i v e d r i v i n g . Learn to recognize hazards, understand the defense against them, and act in time to prevent an accident. Stay alert at all times and anticipate the actions of other drivers. Most vacations will include some expressway, driving. Remember, expressway driving is different. It forces you to adjust your habits to high speed travel. Rear-end collisions, and running off the roadway are the most common types of accidents on these high speed roads. Leave plenty of room between you and the car ahead and pick a lane and stay with it until you must change. Weaving and lane wandering is a dangerous practice on high speed highways.
