The Law Serves You Making Public Aid More Responsible Seven statutes which affect the controversial subject of public aid spending have already or soon will become^ law. \ Four of the bills, although affecting Cook county, are of interest to residents in all parts of the state, according to the Illinois State Bar association. More than seventy-two percent of the state's public aid spending goes into Cook county and more than seventy-five percent of the people receiving assistance live there, however, until now, there has been no statute bringing the control of the dispursement of funds under the control of the State of Illinois. The four bills, in effect, merge the Cook County Department of Public Aid into the Illinois Department of- Public Aid, thus, giving all taxpayers in the state a better chance for control of money available to public aid recipients. The merger is effective Jan. 1, 1974. Asfifth bill clarifies the state's authority to enforce penalty provisions against those who obtain public aid benefits by fraud. This has been a growing problem, in the past. With a decreasing public aid roll and new statutes to up-date and better control the system, state officials hope that the perennial public aid problem is being resolved without hurting thosfe persons who are truly in need of such aid. Two other laws affect the public aid system in the state, says the Illinois State Bar Association. One law permits notices of charges against welfare recipients' personal injury claims or causes of action to be sent by certified mail, a less expensive process than the now-required registered mail. Another permits the State Department of Public Aid to contract with private firms for medical services to be paid for in advance. This bill was designed to provide better control over soaring medical aid costs by attempting to correct neglect of routine health care in poverty areas due to a shortage of doctors and quality health facilities.

In Business SELL RESORT The many McHenry friends of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hanford, formerly of this community, will be interested to know that on Nov. 1, they sold their Siesta Camping Shangri-La Lodge, Inc., in Wisconsin and have moved to Spooner. During the several years the Hanfords operated the lodge, they welcomed many from this area to their facilities. Hanford said his increasing responsibilities as laboratory technologist and laboratory supervisor at the Spooner clinic laboratory prompted the move.
