I EXPECT NEW BURDEN ON HEALTH CENTER (Continued from page 1) H e d e s c r i b e d "developmentally disabled" as referring to the mentally retarded, epileptic and cerebral palsy patients. Meanwhile, during the past year Lambourn said the McHenry County Association for the Retarded through its Pioneeer center, its child development program, and community family s living center at Woodstock, has kept on top of demands for excellent service to those in need. "A new program is the Birth to Three program under the direction of Mirek Halaska, children services director," said Lambourn. "The Day Care program for people 3-16 has received a major boost with the development of a regional consortium project." In his remarks Halaska said the consortium involves four agencies in Lake and McHenry counties. They have received a grant from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction to identify areas where children need additional programming. The consortium board has cited these problem areas: 1- Motor development. 2 - Communication-preschool therapy. 3 - Behavior problems. 4 - Improvement of self-help skills. 5 - Home intervention 6 - Visual improvement training. Lambourn said one of the most significant developments the past year was the successful effort to obtain favorable support for the county mental health referendum last March. "Adoption of this referendum helps assure sound financial support for present programs and for added ones we find are needed as we focus on the needs of the handicapped and retarded," said Lambourn. Officers were reelected as follows: Ray Rohlwing, Huntley, president; Mrs. Kathryn Blakslee, Crystal Lake, vice-president; Mrs. Dixie L, Meyer, Crystal Lake, secretary; and Walter Dean, McHenry, treasurer. Directors include Mrs. Carrie Jourdan, John Maselter, Ormel Prust and Mrs. Patricia Truckenbrod, McHenry; Rev. Jack Schauble, Woodstock; Bruce Smyth and Mrs. Wanda Pears, Crystal Lake. Mark LeFevre, director of adult services, recalled that a year ago he said an immediate objective was an improvement in the rehabilitation program for those in vocational rehabilitation. "I am pleased to report that the vocational rehabilitation program at Pioneer center has received the highest level of recognition by the Illinois Division of Vocational Rehabilitation," he said. Lambourn summarized the growing number of people being helped by the McHenry County Association for the" Retarded: Sixty-seven at the end of the fiscal year in the vocational rehabilitation program; eighteen living at the community living facility; nineteen in the Birth to Three program begun in February; and eighteen in the Day Care area for the • severely profoundly handicapped children. During the annual meeting, the association recognized the work and contribution to its early years and its present expanded service given by Dr. Peter Griesbach by presenting him with an award. Clients who took part in the state Olympic swimming program for the handicapped were honored, many taking part and several earning awards. Most decorated was Pauline Holder. She won first in the 25-yard back stroke; second in the 50-yard free style; and third as a member of a 100-yard relay team. { CONCESSION STAND, CARS BURGLARIZED ^Continued from page 1) heavy duty skill-saw had been taken from his garage.

Many times, he believes, they are as concerned as adults about the seriousness of the drug problem and this concern leads to a cooperation that is important to any law enforcement agency. Some youths need help, according to Kran^, and know it. When that need is recognized by the individual half the batde is won. But above all, it is the parent who must meet the problem for what it is. Sgt. Gregory Burg also has a wealth of experience from his many encounters with youthful offenders. His approach is to have the boy or girl tell the parents why he is being asked to come to the station. This procedure, Burg added, puts some responsibility on the youth and allows the family time to discuss the problem before confronting authorities. she found, the front door standing Open and then h%£l an auto speed away.

Disappointing is the fact that many times the young person indicates he would be relieved to "open up" but is prevented by mother or dad. McHenry Alert, the school's program to inform, met with little success because of apathy. Police find much the same situation - either a lack of interest or a belligerent attitude. Where there is a genuine interest in the welfare of their children, police and school ^l^eiind that parents have a good cnance of eliminating the problem entirely. K.A.F.
