These 4-H boys and girls are learning a variety of new skills and experiences. If you are between the ages of eight and nineteen and would like more information about 4- H Clubs in McHenry County, contact the county Extension office at the second floor of the Old Courthouse on the Square in Woodstock. A special celebration is planned for St. Patrick's church Oct. 27 at 12:15 p.m. "If one of you is ill, he should send for the elders of the Church and they must anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over him." (James 5:15) In keeping with the earliest practice of the christian community, the Catholic church has always fostered its sacramental ministry to the sick and aged. The name for this sacrament up until recent months has been commonly known as the "Last Rites" or "Extreme Unction". Throughout the centuries, its use became limited to serving the needs of those who were only seriously ill and dying. In recent years, however, it has been felt that the spiritual and physical needs of the in­ firm, aged, sick and dying were not adequately met by this limited use of the sacrament. Therefore, the Church has revised its approach to this whole matter and has given the name "The Pastoral Care and Anointing of the Sick" to the sacrament. It is not limited only to the dying, but is meant for those who are quite aware of what is happening in the sacrament. Those who are advanced in years, weak with age, and where the case may be, suffering from a sickness or infirmity, are encouraged to receive this sacrament. Realizing that the aged and sick need to be shown care and concern as with people of all ages, this sacrament may be 31 /FALL SPECIAL!

M. Biscomb, Social Security branch manager in Woodstock. "Applications from people who don't recall having had a Social Security number before, generally are screened against central files in Baltimore to make sure a second number isn't issued to the same per­ son," Biscomb said. "Screening takes titne," he said, "so you should apply for your number at least several weeks before you need it for a job covered by Social Security." People can get information about applying for a number by calling or writing any Social Security office. More than nine out of ten jobs are covered by Social Security. A worker builds retirement, disability, survivors, and Medicare protection by work and earnings credited to his Social Security number. "Your Social Security number is yours alone and remains the same for celebrated in a group, that is, it may be celebrated as a com­ munity. Because of this fact, St. Patrick's parish is planning a community celebration of the Anointing of the Sick for those in the parish who feel that they might wish to receive this sacrament. They are to contact the rectory or the religious education office. The planned date for the celebration is the 12:15 Mass Oct. 27. BmkAmericmo RTE. 12 N.

McHENRY ILLINOIS 60050 PAGE 9 - PL AINDE ALER-FRID A Y, OCTOBER 11, EDITOR 'S note; Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are some representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q. -- As a veteran's widow, I was drawing Veterans Ad­ ministration pension until my remarriage. Can I get back on the pension roll, since my second husband died recently9 A - Yes. Current law allows a formerly eligible widow to regain her pension if the sub­ sequent remarriage ends in death or divorce - provided her income and net worth do not exceed limitations. Q - Does the recent law which extended GI Bill benefits from eight to 10 years for veterans separated from service between 1955 and 1966 apply to me? Because I was discharged in 1965 before the current GI Bill was passed, my eligibility had already expired as of May 31, 1974 - eight years afjer the bill was passed. A - If you hadn't used all your benefits by the former May 31 deadline, PL 93-337 'July 1974) extended them by two years. Q. - I have been out of military service six months but I have been unable to find a job. What would you suggest? A. -- If you haven't already done so, visit your local state employment service office and take along your DD Form 214. If a suitable job is not available, you will be allowed to apply for unemployment compensation. If you live near a VA regional office or a U.S. life. When you get a job covered by Social Security, be sure your employer copies your - name and number correctly from your Social Security card to his records," Biscomb said. People applying for a Social Security number for the first time may be asked to prove their age, identity, and citizenship, according to Biscomb. "If you've lost your Social Security card," he said, "you can get a duplicate faster if you can show the people there the stub that came with your original Social Security card." The Woodstock Social Security office is at 224 West Judd street, Woodstock, 60098. The telephone number is 338- 3750. Things That Burn ... Too often, people are the "things" that burn. This is the theme of Fire Prevention Week 1974, the seven days from October 6-12 when the United States and Canada make a concerted effort to alert everyone to the hazards of fin and explosion in everyday living, imaginative campaigns in communities large and small help motivate citizens to take action to ward off the possibility of accidental fire, at the same time encouraging them to learn what to do in case of afire emergency wherever they are. When people hea* of "fire losses," they usually think first of burning buildings - not the people who may be caught in them. Yet so many people are victims of fire that burn injuriM have reached epidemic proportions. (The summary report of the National Commission on Fixe Prevention and Control conservatively estimates the number of serious injuries from fire and explosion in the U.S. alone at 300,000 a year!) Slightly more than half of the 12- to 13,000 fire deaths annually in the U.S. and Canada occur where people live. These victims of residential fires most often are children and elderly persons - age groups of people who do not understand how to respond to fire danger, or who are physically unable to save themselves. This international "epidemic" of injurious and sometimes fatal fires can be controlled only by serious attention to fire prevention wherever people live and work, study and find recrea­ tion. Concern about fire must also extend to such basics as learning what to do in case cloth­ ing catches fire . . . observing the practical guidelines for leaving young children and elderly persons in the care of capable, conscientious babysitters or companions . . . working out and rehearsing a family escape plan, especially for escape from nighttime fire. Heartache of losing a family member through fire far overshadows the financial heartbreak of seeing a home or business vanish in flames/ With each mature individual lies the choice of risking tamily and belongings or being fire-safety-conscious not only during Fire Prevention Week each October but all year round. Veterans Assistance Center, you should also check these. Veterans recently separated from military service should check the timetable on certain veteran benefits, the Veteraas administration advises. Military separations have slowed from a peak of 95,000 monthly to a current rate of 50,000, but the timetable remains important to the individual veteran. If a veteran wants his job back, for example, he must apply to his former employer within 90 days of his separation date. Other items on the veterans' timetable: 120 days to convert, without p h y s i c a l e x a m i n a t i o n , Servicemen's Group Life Insurance (SGLI) to Veterans Group Life Insurance. He has up to one year to convert, if he is totally disabled at separation and the condition does not change. One year from date of receipt of service connection for his disability to apply to VA for Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance. One year to apply to VA for dental care, and one year to r e q u e s t u n e m p l o y m e n t compensation from the local < state employment office. Has 10 years to apply for and use VA educational assistance benefits, which expire after that deadline. The veteran has no deadline for obtaining hospital care; or obtaining a GI loan to buy, build, or improve a home,, or to buy a farm.
