PAGE 12 - PI AINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1975 WINS NEW CROWN (Continued from page 1) contestants in Kiwanis Division 20, which includes northern Illinois. Three judges viewed the contestants and chatted with them at the program that followed dinner served at the American Legion home in McHenry. They decided that Amy would best represent the division at the next level of competition, the Illinois and Eastern Iowa district. Amy, who has light brown hair and blue eyes, is the daughter of Marty and Linda Ziebel of 4814 Wilmot road, McHenry. FREE FAIR ADMISSION TO SENIORS FRIDAY (Continued from page 1) but members of the association indicated that it would be difficult for the gate attendants to determine who was, and who was not, a senior citizen That was when Herb Sass, board member of the council, hit upon the idea of using the Medicare card as identification. The Fair association felt that his suggestion could be implemented with no problem. The Fair association decided to follow the lead of the Illinois State Fair by setting the "before noon" stipulation. "This is the type of cooperation that the McHenry County council is going to need if we are to provide a real service to senior citizens", explained Mrs. Jones. "We are Unsatisfactory Water Samples At Four Beaches Water samples collected from swimming beaches by the McHenry County Department of Health on July 21 and July 22, were obtained from several beaches on the Fox River and from some of the lakes in the county. Those beaches at which the water was found to be un­ satisfactory for swimming were: McHenrv Shores, Sun- nyside, Villa Vaupell; 1, City of McHenry; McHenry Dam. Those beaches at which there have been two consecutive unsatisfactory samples are McHenry Shores and Sun- nyside. The department also recommends that persons hopeful that others in the county will soon follow the lead of the Fair association in making benefits, such as this, available to seniors." Second, the Fair association has planned a senior citizen's talent contest and it is hoped that there will be enough entrants to make the contest as successful as the regular talent contest help every year. "It may be difficult to get this year's message about the talent contest out to senior citizens," said Mrs. Jones, "because although we know that there are many senior citizens in the county, we are too new of an organization to be able to get the information out to them by the deadline for the tryouts. We hope by next year that not only will we know where the senior citizens in the county are, but also where the senior citizen talent is." refrain from swimming for two to three days following a heavy No Price Can Buy Precious Human Eyes "No price can be put on a human eye." "Precious human eyes cannot be bought or sold," states Dr. Maurice F. Rabb, Medical Director of the Illinois Eye Bank. Dr. Rabb is responding to the recent Nflurry - of publicity regarding persons offering to sell an eye to patients needing a corneal' transplant. "In the first place" says Dr. Rabb, "it is illegal to sell any part of the human body." "In the second place," he says, "no licensed physician or any member of the medical profession, would even con­ sider being a party to this." Dr. Rabb explains that eyes donated to the Illinois Eye Bank, a non-profit institution which provides the eye tissue used in corneal transplants for the blind and near-blind, are donated without .any thought of payment. "In fact," he says, "to my knowledge no one inrthe 28-year history of the Eye Bank has ever asked for payment." Also the Illinois Eye Bank never sells the donor eyes it receives to persons receiving corneal transplants. "Persosn wishing to donate their eyes after death," Dr. Rabb points out, "can do so easily. All they have to do is write or telephone the Illinois Eye Bank and request an eye bank donor form. The address is 220 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604. The phone number is 922-8710." Marriage Counselor In Illinois 100 Years Ago There were no marriage counselors in Illinois a hundred years ago nor were the newspapers filled with column after column of advice on everything from sex to senility. But one paper, the Chicago Inter Ocean, in the early summer of 1875 published a letter to the editor on the subject of marriage that provoked a flood of correspondence from readers. The specific question was: "Should a young man consider marrying on a salary of $1,200 a year?" A check of the files of the Inter Ocean in the Illinois State Historical library, Springfield, shows that a column or more of letters appeared every three or four days throughout the summer. Most of them came from Illinoisans but there were others from as far away as DesMoines and Waterloo, la., North Platte, NE, and Janesville, WI. By far the majority agreed that $1,200 a year was more than was necessary. Most set the minimum figure at $600 - some even lower than that. Several summarized the financial results of their own matrimonial experiences, and one Chicago suburbanite gave a complete accounting of his housekeeping records for the previous five years. A maie women's libber from Rock City, IL, suggested "Proposing (marriage) is a monopoly now, and why not give the girls the right to ask the men? If they had the privilege of seeking partners would not better unions be the result?" Only a very few of the writers signed their letters; usually they used initials or a pseudonym. One of the earlier letters, signed by "G" of Chicago, said: "The question should be, 'Can a young man prudently marry on a salary of from $400 to $600 a year?' The majority of men in Chicago, both single and married, do not receive above $2 a day for their labor. Twelve hundred dollars ' a year income! That is prin­ cely. Half the business men in Chicago would go out of business at once could they get employment at $1,200 or even $900 a year." "Sod Corner" from North Platte, NE, wrote, "I count among my acquaintances several young married people who do not begin to get $1,200 per year, and yet, you go into their homes and you will find them with all the necessaries of life, comfortable clothes, and a cosy little house--and all this at a salary of $600 to $800 per annum." A Moline, IL, reader wrote, "It is now about eight years since we commenced keeping house, rented to begin with, paying about $150 per year. ...Two years after we bought a lot on favorable terms, put up a $200 house. I built the house myself at odd times, except a very few days I employed a carpenter. Every spring, summer, and fall I work early and late making im­ provements." He added that his receipts would "not average over $700 per year," he had four children, and the house and its l14 acre lot were £jtelued at $2,200. The Chicago suburbanite-his letter was dated "Chicago" and signed "Suburban"-said that living on the $1,200 figure "is an impossibility." His average expenses were $1,264.27 and he added,«"My family consists of a wife and two children, and part of the year a servant, called 'a girl.' I own my own place and have no rent to pay (his taxes were $20 a year); a cow and have no milk or butter to' buy, and a garden." Some of his larger expenses were: groceries, $298.53; meat, $78.55; clothing (for four), $218.66; "girl," $128; and doctor, $43.10. He said also his figures included "nothing for charity, or church purposes, insurance, interest, cost of keeping cow and hens" all of which would have brought his total "to fully $1,400."

Scott Life for a person who is physically handicapped is difficult in many ways simply unimaginable for those of us who are not. But the person who is physically handicapped is first and foremost A PERSON. And therein, he does not want our pity, but wants the fair chance to live a life of dignity and contribution to his fellowman a goal ideal for every human being. Wherein physically possible, this includes acquiring a job. And it is here that I and every sensitive citizen in this state felt outrage at the recent disclosure that several agen­ cies were exploting the physically handicapped -- as well as a generous public - to these agencies' own allegedly fraudulent ends. As Attorney General, I have taken immediate action to halt the activities of these agencies. One organization, the National Foundation for the Handicapped and Disabled, spent $172,525 more than it took in...and used only 8.7 percent of the nearly $1.5 million collected through solicitations for charitable purposes. In a suit filed in Cook County Circuit court the Attorney General's office has charged that the National Foundation for the Handicapped and Disabled (NFHD) is insolvent and unable to carry out its charitable purposes. I have asked the court to dissolve the corporation, require a full and complete accounting, and following that, if appropriate, cancel any debts owed to a professional fund-raiser and require the fund raiser to make restitution for any monies found to be improperly charged. On Wednesday, July 16, Judge Emmett Morrissey issued a temporary restraining order against the NFHD. This order, in effect, freezes all monies in the NFHD's accounts as well as in the accounts of the professional fund-raiser as they relate to NFHD; and the order halts all NFHD operations in Illinois pending further court order. Three other organizations that passed themselves off as seeking to benefit persons who are handicapped tried to evade Illinois charitable trust laws by claiming to be "for-profit" corporations. Often they charged highly inflated prices for products bought cheaply from handicapped workers, trying to create the aura of charitable giving for the un­ suspecting purchaser. But in reality, the Attorney General's office is charging, the profit never was used substantially to benefit persons who are han­ dicapped. The three companies named in our suits filed in Cook County Circuit court are Blind Workers, Inc.; Handicapped Workers Marketing and Research, Inc. (a Philadelphia entity who used promoters from Texas to sell in Illinois; also known as Handicapped Workers); and Products of the Blind and Handicapped of Illinois. The suits seek permanent injunctions against the com­ panies' charitable solicitations, accountings of monies raised, prices of products sold, the numbers of handicapped people employed and the benefits they receive, and the percent of profit going to the "for-profit" promoters. The suits also seek < to impose constructive trusts which would require that any unreasonable profits made by the three companies go to legitimate organizations to aid persons who are handicapped. On Tuesday, July 15, Judge Samuel Epstein issued a temporary restraining order against Handicapped Workers Marketing and Research, Inc., freezing all monies held by the corporation and halting its operation in Illinois pending further court order. The moral of this "Consumer Forum" is not that you and I should stop giving to organizations aimed at bringing help and dignity to persons who are handicapped. But that in order that our monies given in good faith may do what we intend, we first should check to make certain the organizations to which we contribute are legitimate. If you have any questions concerning the legitimacy of an agency to which you wish to contribute, please call (312) 793-2595 in the Chicago area, or (217) 782-1090 (ask for Charitable Trusts division) in the Springfield area. Em­ ployees in the Attorney General's Charitable Trusts and Solicitations division at these numbers will be able to tell you whether or not an organization in question is registered with the state or has an exemption (for example, a religious organization.) If you wish to see the annual financial report of any r e g i s t e r e d c h a r i t a b l e organization you may do so at the Division offices in Chicago at 188 West Randolph, Room 1826, or in Springfield at 500 ; South Second street between < the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 . p.m. week days.

Please get altf* names, addresses, telephone^ numbers and printed materials', available to help our in-lj vestigators. Thank you for your cooperation. Please don't givfe less to charitable organizations. But please do use caution so that your money will be used as you intend.
