PAGE 10 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1975 u Learn Not To Burn" Teaches To Avoid Fire This statement, "Learn Not to Burn," has a double meaning on purpose. ' Not the kind of double meaning that's intended to be funny. "No way!" Just the opposite: knowing how not to burn can literally mean the difference between life and death, between a safe home and a pile of debris and ashes where you used to live. "Learn Not to Burn" means learning to avoid starting a fire, whether through accident, carelessness or just plain ignorance; and learning how to keep your environment fire- safe by not giving fire a place to start. Looked at from the other angle, "Learn Not to Burn" means leairning how to save yourself if you, or your clothes, should catch on fire; and learning how to escape quickly into the fresh air in case of fire where you live, work, study, play or just happen to be. Fire Prevention Week 1975, the seven days from October 5- 11 when the United States and Canada make a special effort to increase everyone's awareness of fire safety, is the perfect time to take "Learn Not to Burn" to heart. Think of the slogan from its two points of view. Then do something about it from both directions. Go through the places where you live and work. Look for fire hazards, then get rid of them or get an expert to help. Remember that misused and faulty electrical wiring and equipment leads the list of causes of building fires, followed by smoking and matches, heating and cooking equipment, and children playing with matches. Also turn your attention to "Learn Not to Burn" as it applies to people. Develop, learn and practice a home escape plan. Have a smoke New Youth County Rece The McHenry County Youth Service bureau was awarded a grant totaling $91,234 Sept. 26 by the Illinois Law En­ forcement commission for the term from Oct. 1, 1975, to June 30. 1976. This award climaxed over two years of study and planning by the McHenry County Youth Services Steering committee. The grant is for the purpose of developing diversion and prevention alternatives to the juvenile justice system for the yojjth of McHenry county. On Sept. 1, 1975, members of the McHenry County Youth Services Steering committee officially formed the not-for- profit corporation. The McHenry County Youth Service bureau. The following people became members of the board of directors: Barry Schoen- brod, John Anderson, Jack Haffner. Ward Duel, .Jaeie Smith, Betty Affield, David Klassing, Sue Carpenter, Jim detector or combination smoke and heat detection system installed where you live; this is one of the best ways to avoid the terror and tragedy of being caught in a nighttime fire. When selecting wearing ap parel, choose the most fire-sate fabrics and styles --especially for children and elderly per­ sons. Finally, take "Learn Not to Burn" literally by knowin* even practicing, what to do if your skin, hair or clothing catches fire. "Drop and Roll" is the winning combination. Drop right where you are, indoors or out. Then roll over and over until the flames are out. If a coat, blanket or rug is handy, roll in it -- but never, never run to find something in which to roll if it's not within reach.

The final revision of the by-laws of the McHenry County Youth Service bureau was adopted. The Illinois Law En­ forcement grant awarded to the McHenry County Youth Service bureau provides for four years of step-down funding, as long as the conditions of the grant are met. Both public and private funds in McHenry county will be solicited to support the development and maintenance of the McHenry County YSB as the ILEC funds are stepped- down. The month of October will be devoted to a state and nation­ wide search for a project director, to the organization of a McHenry County YSB Ad­ visory board and to the beginning organizational steps necessary for program development. Any citizen of McHenry county with a demonstrated interest in youth who is willing to serve on the advisory board, is asked to contact Sue Carpenter, 1715 W. River Terrace drive, McHenry. All meetings of the McHenry County YSB are open to the public. More than $200,000 in scholarships wills be awarded to national winners during the 54th National 4-H Congress, Nov. 30 - Dec. 4 in Chicago. In recognition of their achievements, 265 4-H mem­ bers are expected to share $205,000 in educational scholarships arranged by the National 4-H Service Com­ mittee, Chicago. State Revenue Fund Lowest In Fourteen Years Last Monday night the state's general revenue fund dropped to $5 million, the lowest point in 14 years, Comptroller George W. Lindberg reported. "For a couple of hours last night, the State of Illinois could not pay its bills," .Lindberg said. Summarizing the situation, Lindberg said: "The Comp­ troller's office had $11 million in vouchers requesting that checks be written to pay bills, including welfare recipients, private firms doing business with the state, salaries of state workers and payments to medical organizations providing services to the poor. "To alleviate the condition of being $6 million in the red, Comptroller's office personnel worked overtime to expedite receipts from various tax sources that were not scheduled to be put into the treasury until Tuesday, Sept. 30, thus creating sufficient balance to issue the $11 million in checks. "As a result, the checks are going out on time. "But the overall situation which caused this very tem­ porary inability on the part of the state to pay its bills is still with us. State spending in September was $180 million above receipts. "I again urge the Governor to release the details of his spending plans for this fiscal year, so that we may try to preclude a repeat of Sept. 29. The worst may be yet to come," Lindberg warned. The Comptroller said that the general revenue fund available balance historically has dropped to its lowest amount between the months of November and January. In recent state history, the only time the general revenue fund balance was lower was on Students Should Learn Costs Of College Education Need help paying for college next year -- or in the near future? If so, The Guidance Department at McHenry Community High school says that now's the time to obtain information about costs at different kinds of colleges, how much the family might be asked to pay toward those costs, and what the student will need from outside sources and begin to find out about the various kinds of student financial aid- grants, loans, and jobs. Financial aid is one way that thousands of students each year get money for college. But to give them the best chance of getting what they need, they must plan ahead and apply early. As the first step in planning, get a copy of Meeting College Costs in 1976-77, A Guide for Parents and Students. It's a free booklet prepared by the College Scholarship Service (CSS) of the Colic?0 Board which can be founu n high school guidance office. In addition to a valuable checklist of steps to follow in applying for aid, Meeting College Costs also explains: how to estimate expenses at different kinds of colleges and what the family will be asked to pay; how to figure out the ap­ proximate need for aid by using the worksheets and following the easy, step-by-step outline of the need analysis system used by CSS to process the Parents' Confidential Statement (PCS); where aid comes from and how to apply for it from various sources such as federal and state governments, private Dec. 14, 1961, when it dipped to $178,000, Lindberg said. The general revenue fund underwrites the state's day-to- day operations. muSKSBSm FREE GIFTS... PRIZES... SOUVENIRS AND REFRESHMENTS!

OOOOOOODOOOOaOOOOOO BOY SCOUT NEWS ooooooooot Boy Scout troop 162 of McHenry made a trip to Sugar River State Trail, New Glarus, Wis., on the weekend of Sept. 27 and 28, for a bike hike. It was 24 miles long and took 3>2 hours to hike it. The hiking grounds were an old railroad bed that was abandoned and converted into a hiking trail for bikes, snowmobiles and for walking.
