Time of the Varsity game is 7:30 p.m. at McCracken field. After twice daily sessions, the squad is gradually rounding into shape. Only one injury is listed at this time. Joe Daugherty a junior tackle broke a bone in his foot in a non contact drill last week and will be lost to the squad for about a month. The forty man squad will be divided into two groups for the game. Coaches Day and Swanson will handle one group while Coaches Ludwig and Scott will handle the other group. \ At 6 p.m. the Frosh and Sophs will scrimmage for one half, then the sophomores will battle in an inter squad scrimmage for one half, followed by the Varsity at 7:30 p.m. Remember admission is a bar of soap, and the game is for McHenry fans only. Meet In McHenry Organize Emergency Unit For Area Nurses A new chapter of the Emergency Department Nurses' association is now being formed for Lake and McHenry counties, it has been announced by Vivian Johnson, R.N., of the McHenry hospital emergency room. "Nurses in the surgical, intensive care, and emergency departments of all hospitals in the area, industrial nurses, and all who are involved in the critical care of patients are invited to join in organizing the chapter," Mrs. Johnson said. Condell, Harvard, McHenry, Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, Sherman, St. Joseph's, St. Therese's, Vic­ tory, Waukegan, and Zion- Benton hospital are within the chapter's district. "As we all encounter varied boating and water emergen­ cies, high velocity accidents, and special hazards of this area, we are convinced we should have our own regional interchange of ideas and our own specialized program," Mrs. Johnson explained. "Until now, we have had to travel either to Joliet or Chicago to attend the seminars and lectures sponsored by those chapters. After conferring with other nurses and corresponding with national headquarters, we have decided that there is a great need for, and con­ siderable interest in, a chapter for this area." The first meeting of the organization will be held in September at McHenry hospital. Among subjects proposed for future meetings are: "Telemetry, Explanation and Application", and "The Pyschiatric Patient in an Emergency Situation." Speakers will include both local and Chicago-area authorities, according to Mrs. Johnson. "Communication and cooperation among nursing personnel of our hospitals and industrial plants will be stimulated and can be main­ tained by an active E.D.N.A.," Mrs. Johnson concluded. "Nurses who are interested in joining the new chapter may write to me in care of the Emergency Room, McHenry Hospital, McHenry, 111. 60050." Reckless Driving Charge Against Wonder Lake Man James Dorris of 4417 E. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, was charged with reckless driving Sunday morning by Deputy Charles Terrell after he ran the squad car off the road in Wonder Lake. Terrell was south-bound on Wonder Lake road, near Lilac drive, when the north­ bound Dorris auto rounded a curve at a high rate of speed, veered into the opposite lane of traffic and forced the squad car to go into a ditch to avoid a collision. Court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 20. Long sweaters of crochet and knit are in the news. These range from hip length to coat length. Long dresses of crochet and knit are be­ ing seen. Fullness is back in skirts which are pleated or gored. A great deal of shirring is being used on bodices. Skirts can be a variety of lengths, ranging from knee length, downward.

How Can I? xnnxninmSwSf HOW CAN I??? By Anne Ashley Q. What is an easy way to clean typewriter keys? A. Ordinary cigarette lighter fluid is a good agent for this purpose. Use it sparingly for this purpose with a typecleaning brush, or an old toothbrush. Q. How can I treat scratches on silverware. A. Try mixing some putty powder with a little olive oil to make a paste, then rub this over the silverware with a soft cloth, following with a chamois polishing. Q. How can I clean some rusty steelware? A. Rub it thoroughly with sweet oil, allow to remain on for some time, before beginning your rubbing. Q. How can I make hard butter spread more easily? A. By creaming it beforehand. To cream it, beat it vigorously with a wooden spoon - or your electric mixer. Q. How can I promote more even browning of roasts and avoid spattered juices from soiling the oven? A. By placing aluminum foil over the roast. Remove this foil during the last stages of roasting. Q. How can I add an at­ tractive wrought iron effect to ordinary steel hardware? A. By coating it with a mixture of water putty powder, mixed with black asphalt varnish to the consistency of stiff paste. This will dry a dead black, but you can give it a gloss, if you wish, by var­ nishing. Q. How can I remove ink stains from carpets? A. Take three tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of lukewarm water, saturate the spots with this mixture, and use several clean cloths to blot it up. You usually find that no traces of ink will remain, no matter how old the stains. Q.How can I relieve the skin on my hands when it has become all puckered up as a result of long immersion in water? A. By rubbing your hands with lemon juice or vinegar. Q. How can I rehabilitate leather shoes that have been out of service for a long time, or are dried after a thorough soaking? A. Rub the surface of the shoes with half a raw potato before the shoes are polished. This will help them to take a good gloss. Q. How can I keep the inside of my coffeepot clean and sweet? A. By boiling a strong solution of baking soda in it at regular intervals. Letter from Washington by Senator Charles H. Percy PAGE !»- PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, AUGUST31, 1973 The growing energy crisis has placed an urgent respon­ sibility on government at all levels and private citizens to conserve our precious re­ sources. On the federal level, Presi­ dent Nixon has called on all Americans to reduce their energy consumption by 5 per­ cent within the next 12 months. He also has asked the federal government to set an example by reducing energy consumption by 7 per­ cent within the next year. Every American can join in this spirit of voluntary restraint in the use of energy. By altering our living habits, we can all do our part to get the most out of our limited resources. The most conspicuous im­ pact of the energy crisis has been the shortage of gasoline. Many independent dealers have been forced to close as their supplies from major m a n u f a c t u r e r s h a v e b e e n limited or curtailed. Some gasoline dealers have rationed sales to individual customers and limited their business hours. Every motorist can con­ serve fuel simply by reducing driving speeds. A car travel­ ing 50 miles per hour con­ sumes 20 to 25 percent less fuel than it would at 70 miles per hour. The President has urged every state governor to work with their legislatures to reduce highway speeds. In the meantime, we can con­ serve gasoline by driving slower during these busy sum­ mer months. We can also use car pools and travel by train or bus to reduce gasoline consumption. In the home, there are scores of opportunities to con­ serve energy. Reducing the use of air conditioning can result in a great saving. Care­ ful use of other appliances also can help. Most of all, we should be sure that lights and appliances are turned off when not in use. Along with these voluntary restraints by government and private citizens, the Presi­ dent has launched a new pro­ gram to expand research to find new sources of energy and give a higher priority to energy matters. The research program calls for a $10 billion dollar effort over the next five years. Ad­ ditional money has been set aside to find ways to produce clean liquid fuel from coal. Former Governor John Love of Colorado has been named to head a new federal depart­ ment to oversee the govern­ ment's energy policy and re­ search. These research initiatives are most encouraging. It is clear that without new sources of energy, we will be unable to meet our needs in the future. American re­ fineries operated at 93 per­ cent of their capacity in the first three months of this year, but shortages persist. National demand for oil is about 15 million barrels a day, making us dependent on imports to meet demands. In the short run, the recent reduction of oil import quotas should increase supplies avail­ able to major oil companies and independents. With more crude oil available, more re­ fineries can be built. But we must proceed carefully to balance energy needs with goals to protect the environ­ ment. We also should take a care­ ful look at the feasibility of constructing a trans-Cana- dian pipeline to bring Alaskan oil directly to the Midwest instead of piping the oil to the West Coast. Certainly the future energy needs of the Midwest are more important than a hasty decision on the route of the pipeline. Voluntary restraints by all Americans should ease the energy crisis. Only an all-out effort by every one of us will do the job, and I urge every Illinois resident to become familiar with practices that conserve energy. This effort, coupled with new initiatives by the federal government to seek new energy sources, should insure ample energy supplies for the future.

Espar Oja Q. How can 1 make prints and magazine covers look like oil paints? A. By pasting these pictures wet on burlap, and they ap­ plying a coat of shellac.

May, president of the708 Mental Health Board for McHenry County, has an­ nounced that the board reviewed grants by the agencies and has acted on their budget requests. The 708 board is appointed by County Board Chairman Walter Dean with the approval of the McHenry County board. Members include Arnold N. May, Richmond, president; the Reverend Marx Jones, Crystal Lake, secretary; Mrs. Lee Whitfield, Cary; Rev. James Bidle, Crystal Lake; John Bolger, Woodstock, counselor; Charles Stone, Woodstock; Homer Barry, Marengo; and Dr. Edward Wilt, McHenry. May said the Mental Health Center for McHenry County is budgeted at $198,000. The McHenry County Association for the Retarded is budgeted for $101,850. Dr. Peter Diamond of Sub- region 7 informed the com­ mittee that both the Pioneer center and the Mental Health center were models for other state clinics and that they had received greater allocations this year on a percentage basis than most clinics in the state. The 708 board is working with both agencies to evaluate the possibility of increasing the county tax base. The state agencies are cutting back on their budgets and citizens need more facilities for treatment in McHenry county. The two local agencies are unable to expand their staff or go into new programs. With this in mind. President May has directed both agencies to plan a comprehensive five- year plan listing their ob­ jectives by Sept. 15. After a review is completed, the 708 board, (along with Pioneeir center and the Mental Health center) will determine what tax structure will be needed to help meet mental health needs of the county in the vears ahead OOOOOPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOqf TWIN 50 SUPER MODIFIED SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP RACES SAT SEPT 1 KENOSHA COUNTY SPEEDWAY WILMOT, WISCONSIN STARTING TOP 18 DRIVERS IN EACH 50 LAP FEATURE PLUS FULL PROGRAM OF TIME TRIALS, HEATS, SEMI AND CONSEY ALSO , SPORTSMAN STOCK CARS TIME TRIALS 7:00 pm - RACES 8:30 pm OPEN COMPETITION STARTS SAT., SEPT. 8 Our ladies' group doesn't often call attention to their status of "grandmother" - but on this special Tuesday in August, we let the world know we are proud of it.
