Baby in the unit, which indicates the size and how the unit is used, is Stephen Bowe, son of Mrs. Sandra Bowe, a nurse at the hospital who was an obstetrical department patient when photo was taken. (DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Hospital Nursery Receives Gift From Auxiliary A vital signs monitoring unit has been given McHenry hospital by the auxiliary for use in the obstetrics and nursery department, Mrs. John Kelsey, president of the auxiliary has announced. The gift is part of a $15,210 commitment to purchase equipment which the auxiliary has made for this year, she explained. The vital signs monitor is providing valuable aid to care for infants born with a problem - especially premature infants, said Mrs. Kelsey. The unit operates continuously, monitoring the infant's tem­ perature, heart rate and respiration. It is immune to interference. Anthony Corcoran, ad­ ministrator, explained the new monitor helps make possible more Intensive and specialized nursery care. "An alarm system within the in­ strument alerts the nurse to any significant change from desired readings without disrupting the baby's protec­ tive environment," said Cor­ coran. The monitor also keeps the desired oxygen level, con­ stantly and automatically.

"Editor: "Discrimination on the sewer system which is to be installed in the following areas: Lakeland Park subdivision, Lakeland Shores subdivision, Shady Crest Subdivision, known as Lakeland Park Area Sanitary Sewer System, Special Assessment No. 30. It is understood that each home owner will be assessed $993.74 for the sanitary sewer, "On Monday, Aug. 14, 1972, about 3:10 a.m., I stopped at the city attorney's office to inspect the sewer assessment records. I was able to see a few pages on the records but at no time did I see the complete assessment records, did not even get to touch them, but one home with the address of 4505 West Route 120 had an assessment of less than all the other home owners. At 4505 W. Rt. 120 there is a three-bedroom ranch with a one-car attached garage, and the sewer assessments are just $745.45. This is a single family home, and is now being used as such. Then why is the sewer assessment at all the other single family homes $993.74 and this home at 4505 W. Rt. 120 lower and only $745.45? Which is $248.29 less than all the other home owners' assessments, and much less than a few homes that are still much higher? This I call discrimination. It is unfair to discriminate - both the State of Illinois and the U.S.A. govern­ ments say so. Then why in the small town of McHenry can there be discrimination? "The sum of $248.29 is only $1.71 less than $250.00 and this is the fee to be charged by the city of McHenry to just get a piece of paper stating that you can hook up to the sewer at your own cost. If the assessment can only be $745.45 for the home at 4505 W. Rt. 120, which I might say is worth more than 90 percent of the homes in Lakeland Park, why $248.29 less than all the other CUCKOO CLOCK from GERMAN / BLACK FOREST Now SO only Q po%»po>d du ty f r ee Shipped Direct To You from EUROPE Tins low pril l possible only t l irougli oui unique dircct import plan.

I say this, if it only costs $745.45 for the sewer at 4505 W. Rt. 120, then let's get the same sewer installer to put in the sewer at that price for all the other homes. I know you would like to have a savings of $248.29. "Remember at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 5, 1972, this sewer assessment will be heard in Circuit court. Should you wish to object, you must file a letter or statement of your objection, if for no other reason but to get the lower price on your assessment. "WilbertHecht" Warn Parents On Storage Of War Weapons The Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness urges parents and grandparents to protect children from potential blindness and maiming by keeping all war weapons under lock and key. Many unthinking parents allow their children to play with "toys" that contain enough explosive power to reduce the furniture in the room to splinters according to Robert M. Holmes in the Lion magazine. TTiese toy-like objects, like the bazooka shell, are weapons of war. They vary in size and shape but all are uniform in deadliness. They are souvenirs of World War II and have usually been around the house for years. The problem of military weapons in civilian hands is far more serious than most people realize. According to one munitions expert, a child is killed or hurt every week in the United States because of war souvenirs. Contrary to popular belief, the older a shell is the more deadly it becomes. Be extra careful in storing weapons. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Sept. 1, 1932) Michael Worts, 43 years old, son of John A. Worts of Volo, was instantly killed and his wife, Margaret, seriously in­ jured, Sunday night, when they were struck by an automobile in Chicago.

Knox at St. Anthony's hospital, Chicago. During the summer season when tourists are numerous in this region many unusual cars are seen and license plates are noted from almost every state in the union. On Saturday a car bearing a Japanese license was seen by a McHenry resident, Mrs. Minnie Miller, beneath which was also an Illinois license. The two license plates were much alike in color and appearance with the exception of the Japanese numerals. John Sorenson, life long resident of Richmond township, was instantly killed when he was struck by an automobile.

The viewer travels with scavengers as they pick up and dispose of garbage and rubbish. He observes discarded bottles being tran­ sformed in a glass manufac­ turing plant from scrap into sparkling new containers. He follows abandoned automobiles into the glowing furnaces of a steel mill from which they emerge as new and re-usable steel. He sees old newspapers digested by huge machines which reduce them to pulp and then turn them into giant rolls of clean newsprint. * Viewing time is ap- Deducation Explained The signature of Governor Ogilvie has been affixed to the personal property tax standard deduction bill. 1. The legislation (H.B. 4218) affects or begins with the assessments made in 1972 and thereafter. Taxpayers will get relief on the tax bills paid in 1973. 2. Every taxpayer, individual and corporate, is allowed a standard deduction of $5,000 from the assessed valuation of his personal property as equalized or assessed by the State Department of Local Government Affairs. Since one household of furniture and one automobile are exempted under H.B. 3376, they will not be considered a part of the $5,000 deduction. . " ' 3. Each taxpayer must still list all his personal property with the assessor as required by statue. He is not excused from doing this. 4. In no case may a taxpayer claim more than the $5,000 exemption in aggregate even though he may have property in more than one county. A tax­ payer who has property in more than one county may claim a proportionate part in each county, or he may claim die entire $5,000 deduction in one county. 5. On or before June 1, 1973, the taxpayer shall file a claim in the form of an affidavit for his standard deduction (not more than $5,000 from his equalized valuation) with the county treasurer who shall audit it. 6. Local taxing districts (all such districts, including counties, municipalities and school districts) will be reimbursed by the state for lost revenues as a result of the $5,000 deduction. Such reim­ bursement will be determined by the county treasurer of each county, the total computed by the total amount of personal property tax collected by his office for each taxing body during calendar year 1971 from each taxpayer as a result of an assessment of personal property equal to the standard deduction claimed. 7. On Sept. 1,1973, or as soon thereafter as possible, and each year thereafter, the Depart­ ment of Local Government proximately 22 minutes. The film is being offered by the utility as a public- service, without charge. Arrangements for obtaining the film may be made by calling Edison's local district manager, Gordon E. Smith, on 459-2800 ~ Extension 10. Affairs shall pay the county treasurer the amount deter­ mined by the treasurer in 6 above, after verification by the department; and the treasurer shall distribute the proceeds among the taxing districts in the county so that each district shall receive the same per­ centage of the state grant returned to the county treasurer as the percentage of body during calendar year 1971 as determined in 6 above. 8. Procedures for carrying out the provisions of the new legislation not provided for in the legislation itself shall be conducted in accordance with regulations and instructions issued by the Department of Local Government Affairs.
