mi-"- it' ^ * f* g: iiM.\':' Women volunteers contribute significantly to the quality of service and volume of patients handled at the McHenry County Easter Seal Therapy center. Members of the Easter Sear woman's auxiliary plan a fund-raising benefit Hie need for another physical therapist at the McHenry County Easter Seal Therapy center confronts the board of directors now, Mrs. Del Kistler, newly- . elected president, observed . Mrs. Kistler reviewed developments at the annual meeting held late last month. They reflect a growing number of patients at the county-wide organization. The Easter Seal Therapy center has a policy of treating patients whether or not they have an ability to pay--although those who can pay part or all of their cost for treatment are asked to contribute. However, the Therapy center is supported wholly fay donations with no tax money or government assistance of any kind. Robert Steffi, executive director and a professional physical therapist with an outstanding record of service and administration at the county organization, said one reason another physical therapist is needed is to include home and rest home visits by staff members. MWe have several people in the county who cannot make it to the center be cause of their age, health, or transportation difficulties," he explained. Physical therapy treatment increased 10 percent in the past year with more than 2,600 patient visits. In addition, a speech therapy program is proving quite successful and the board has given some consideration to expanding this beyond the summer. A swim program and a summer camping program are among other outstanding achievements at the Therapy center, Mrs. Kistler noted. During the past year, the Therapy center board was able to make certain building improvements, including completion of a canopy and blacktopping the parking lot. Inside the building, new physical therapy booths were completed and several new pieces of equipment were added. They also sponsored an informational to aid the work of the center with a dinner and theater pary at Marengo on Thursday, Oct. 24.

Six women who work at the center on a regular basis as volunteer workers were also recognized. They include: Mrs. Robert Emery, Mrs. Carlton Wolf, Mrs. John Schmidt, Mrs. Eugene O'Brien, Mrs. Vaclav Ryba, and Mrs. Bert Dehlin. Featured speaker was Tom Shrewsbury, state executive director for the Illinois Easter Seal society. He said local therapy centers are striving to achieve quality services for those who need it.

THE LAW SERVES YOU ty Illinois State Bar Association LOCAL OPTION LAWS HAVE SOBERING EFFECT Anyone who attempts to convert a "dry" community in Illinois into a "wet" one-orvice versa - will find that the law offers little to encourage him in his efforts.

In every political unit, the steps required to bring about a vote are the s&me. First, a petition must be circulated requesting thatthe issue be submitted to the voters. The petition to be valid must contain the signatures of at least 25 percent of the legal voters registered in the political unit. Secondly, the petition must be filed in the office of the clerk of the municipality, precinct, township or road district as the case may be, at least 60 days before the next ensuing election for choosing local officials. No special election can be held. Submission of the question to the voters is mandatory when a petition is filed in the proper form with the clerk. The law allows for both total and partial prohibition and specifies three ways a petition can be worded: (1) Shall the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor be prohibited in ( )? (2) Shall the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor othery than beer containing not more than 4 percent of alcohol by weight be prohibited in ( )? (3) Shall the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor containing more than 4 percent of alcohol by weight except in the orignal package and not for consumption on the premises be prohibited in ( )?
