The Mayor's action was prompted by national immunization statistics which indicate that the percentage of pre school children who have received polio immunization is at its lowest level since 1963. The Mayor pointed out that the percentage of pre-school children who have received DPT (diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus) im­ munizations is lower than it has been since 1966; that only 62.2 percent have received measles immunization; and only 56.9 percent have been immunized against rubella (three-day measles). "These statistics are suf­ ficiently low to cause public health officials grave concern over the threat of possible outbreaks," the Mayor said. "I have proclaimed Immunization Action Month in an effort to focus public attention on these alarming statistics and to encourage parents and guar­ dians to make certain their children have been fully vac cinated against these diseases." In his proclamation the Mayor stated, "The tragedy of signed pledge cards to the building fund of the society, the second payments are now due. It is desirable to have pledges over a three-year period to provide operating expenses in addition to membership dues. The society is endeavoring to set up a Family History file. These are done on a 5" x 8" genealogical card that can be had by a family for a very small fee. The charge covers the cost of printing and filing into permanent archives. For any information con­ cerning anything about the McHenry County Historical society, or a willingness to volunteer time, call the president, Mrs. McEachren at 338-1985, or write to the society at Box 434, Union, 111., 60180. polio and measles is that they strike small children and often result in crippling, blindness, deafness, mental retardation and other irreparable damage. Rubella, when transmitted from children to expectant mothers, can harm the unborn children and cause a variety of birth defects." The Mayor is urging all parents and guardians to ob­ serve Immunization Action month by checking their children's immunization records and obtaining, from the family physician or the local health department, the im­ munizations necessary to in­ sure complete protection against rubella, polio and measles.

The night of Sept. 26 we stopped at a motel outside of Manistique on the shore of Lake Michigan. We had been there in 1956.1 had always remembered it as a pleasant place. In fact I had a kodachrome slide of it. The motel was enlarged but still clean. A young woman waited on us. She said they had bought it the year before. We even had breakfast there - as we had years before. "What kind of juice do you have?" I asked at breakfast time. She thought a minute and named orange, grapefruit and tomato. Then as an af­ terthought she added, "Grandma is visiting us so we also have prune juice!" The Upper Peninsula, as I have said, is rugged and lives close to the earth. We passed a sign. It was plainly homemade. It proclaimed: 20 acrus fur sale call -- You know I think skunks are the most everywhere (ubiquitous) animals in the land. You can smell them in every state. McHenry and Upper Michigan are no dif­ ferent. The odor comes upon you day and night and there are so many hit by cars along the road. We stopped for gas short of the Soo a few miles. The place was a small country store, bar and pool room. A young wife came out to fill the gas tank for us. I went in with Mrs. Hanner to buy a candy bar and pay for the gas. Two old ladies of the Northern Land, no doubt related to the gas pump operator, asked her to fetch some article. They were having morning coffee. Her answer: "Just a minute. I never handle anything till after I've washed my hands when I've pumped gas." When we tried to get a bite of lunch later on at a small roadside cafe the owner and his family were seated around the table eating, it was just short of noon, Me, "Can we get a bite of lunch here?" He, "Nope, we're just having our brekfus!" It was different that night. We were in the Canadian Soo (Sault Ste. Marie) (St. Mary's Rapids). There we often dine at an old English hotel. The dining room is beautifully furnished, if old fashioned. There are long white cloths on the table. There is a linen napkin. There are fresh flowers on the table. The silver glistens.

They use two spoons held in one hand and employed as tongs. They are quiet, efficient and dexterous. In the midst of our pleasant dinner the lady of the couple behind us said very plainly, "Next week we'll be eating hamburgers again!" At a nearby table when the drinks were served one young man expressed his pleasure with the though, -- "A tall glass (gin and tonic) that's the way I like it. There is a 10 percent tax on restaurant bills of over $4. Ouch!! That night we went to the great new public library, the Centennial library. It is a public institution of which any community could well be proud. There, as part of the annual Algoma Fall Festival, Sept. 21 - Oct. 7, 1973, we saw a group of 31 FINE paintings by The Group of Seven. This is a group of seven artists who have been inspired to paint the Algoma Region. Their work is striking and strong. They were inspired by love of their homeland. It is plain in every picture. They have painted with clarity and great originality the unique land­ scape of the Algoma and Laurentian countryside, mountain, stream and forest. A bookmobile with books about Canada and by Canadians stood before the library. It was hard to get in. I could not tear myself away from a book of Karshe's film portraits. There are many sides to Canada. She is our near and related friend. I have visited Canada now the fourteenth time. I love her for her many beauties and her kindnesses to me and mine, for the happy vacations there, for the friendship of her naval officers, doctors and many others. Long may Canada and our own land be a blessing to each other. Set Theme For Education Week "Don't Just Visit Schools; Examine Them," is the theme of a campaign being launched this month by the state's largest teachers organization. Timed to coincide with the annual school open house programs scheduled around American Education week, which is Oct. 21-27, the Illinois Education association (IEA) campaign is aimed at giving parent^ the information needed to make an examination of Illinois schools. According to Mel Swiedarke, IEA president, "In too many school district, American Education week is simply a time when floors are scrubbed and fresh bulletin boards are put up. Most parents leave schools after visiting open house programs not knowing any more about the quality of the school than they did before. We're hoping this year will be different." Central to the IEA project is a checklist of over thirty questions which is being distributed to parents around the state. Focusing on con­ ditions in the classroom, building facilities, safety conditions, textbooks and programs available and a number of other areas, the checklist questions are directed at teachers, building prin­ cipals, local PTA presidents and the individual parent. "Our intention," said Swiedarke, "is to have parents leave school this year knowing what kind of facilities and programs are available for teaching their children. We've also included questions that enable parents to find out how much parent involvement occurs in the school, whether the school has discipline codes, and what types of special help are available for students with special needs. Parents wanting a copy of the checklist, called "Are Your Schools Doing the Job?" can receive a copy by writing to "Check List" IEA, 100 East Edwards street, Springfield, 111.
