County-Wide Senior Citizens Council Formed Dorothy Hodgson, left, MCC nursing student, and Louise Lundemo, coordinator of Health Serv ices at McHenry County college, discuss nursing career opportunities. Wife, Daughter Pursue Studies At Two Schools Very few husbands can say that both his wife and daughter are college students, but, Dorothy Hodgson's husband can. Dorothy is enrolled in the McHenry County college nursing program and her daughter is attending Rice university in Texas. Upon receiving her Associate of Applied Science certificate from MCC, Dorothy plans to continue her education toward a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and in the not so distant future, a Master 's in Nursing so that she may teach in some phase of the medical profession. Currently, she is fulfil l ing her last semester of clinical experience toward her R N. degree at McHenrv hospital. Being the mother of seven children and carrying a full semester load. Dorothy stil l finds t ime for MCC activities. She has been president of the Nurses club, president of Phi Theta Kapps, (MCC's honorary, scholastic fraternity) reporter for the student newspaper and has carried an impressive 4.0 grade average. As if Dorothy's schedule isn't full enough, she stil l f inds time to be a Girl Scout leader. One can't help but wonder with two college students in the family, especially mother and daughter, who writes whom for money? Dollars And Good Sense by William J. Martin It makes good sense to have a healthy savings account to protect your family's financial security. Many experts agree that you should have at least 3-6 months salary available, but you can never really have too much. For a savings system to work, you have to treat it l ike any other financial respon­ sibility. Figure out how much you can afford to save out of each month's take-home pay, 'and when you pay your bills, make your savings deposit at the same time, y# f~. ybuV^ afraicf that your will is not quite powerful enough to count on, an automatic savings plan may be right for you. Your employer probably offers a s«*stem where a predetermined amount can be taken out of each paycheck and either deposited into a company savings plan or used to pur­ chase United States Savings Bonds. But if such a system is not available to you, check with your bank. Most offer an Automatic Savings service which takes a certain amount out of your checking account and deposits it each month into a savings account. With money as tight as it seems right now, saving may be difficult . But an automatic savings plan can be nearly painless, and the secure feeling you'll get as savings pile up will make it well worth it . Readers' questions are welcome and should be sent to P.O.

MAJORITY RULES " Watching all the protests these days it 's easy to see why some people believe that the majority of people in America belong to a minority group "Lack of communication has been the basic problem for McHenry county senior citizens", said State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-Crystal Lake) at a recent meeting sponsored by his Legislative Advisory council Senior Citizens com­ mittee. "There are many senior citizens in McHenry county and there are organizations for them in nearly every city, but there is minimal communication between these groups. This meeting may be the beginning of a bridge over the gap in order to facilitate the , development of programs and the applications for grants that are available from the state and federal government for all McHenry county senior citizens. Dean La Frentz from the Division of Program Planning of the Department on Aging in Springfield. Charles Johnson, director of Region 2 Area Agency on Aging, which covers eight counties including McHenry "county, and Don Bundy, Department on Aging Area consultant for Region 2, were present to explain the Title VII and Title III programs to the audience. Title VII funds are basically available for nutrition programs while Title II funds are to be used for education, recreation, tran­ sportation and other programs for senior citizens. Most of the money from these grants has been diverted to other counties because McHenry county senior citizens were not well enough organized to apply for a grant from either program. The formation of a county-wide council to survey the needs of seniors, find a sponsoring agency and to make application for grants is the first thing to be done if seniors are to be recipients of grant funds. LaFrentz explained that the nutrition programs covered by Title VII will have to serve at least 100 meals daily throughout the county. These meals do not, however, have to be served in only one place in the county. The President of the Crystal Lake Senior Citizens, pointed out that "seniors need some place to go, someone to see and something to do." He put it better than I ever could", Rep. Skinner said. "Seniors don't just need nutritional meals once a day. They r^eed "ft place to get together and since this money is going to be spent whether we spend it or no&, McHenry county senior citizens are entitled to it and should benefit from it . The grants are awarded after a proper budget has been ap­ proved by the agencies and then it will be necessary to raise 10 percent in matching funds. Matching funds may be in kind, however, and not necessarily in cash. This means, for instance, that someone may donate the use of a building for seniors as part of the matching and requirement. According to LaFrentz "At the present t ime the $5 million allotted to the state has been allocated. However, we hope an additional 25 percent may be released soon and the ap­ plications should be made as soon as possible because the funds will be awarded shortly after such money becomes available to the Department on Aging from the Administration on Aging in Washington." "Since McHenry county has received virtually nothing from either program they will be high on the priority list for Regfon 2", said Director Johnson. "With support like we've seen here today, this program can't possibly miss", Rep. Skinner said. "All the senior citizens in McHenry county and myself are very gratified at the assistance we've received today and know that it will continue to grow into a vital part of all communities in the county." Rep Skinner asked for volunteers to represent their organization on a steering 4-H NEWS LINCOLN CLOVERLEAVES The Lincoln Cloverleaves 4-H club held their monthly meeting at the James C.
