SUCTION I -PAGEB. Pl.AlNDEAl.ERWEDNESPAV. JANUARY II. 1*1* MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued From Page 1) thought you could make it work you would get our vote too. We were almost fooled by a release that came from a county man running for office. He was one of the first to campaign loudly against the railroad's request for a fare increase after it refused to stick with the RTA. No dumb dodo, this fellow. He knows what people want to hear. Nobody in McHenry likes the RTA and a few words in the local press never hurt anyone. Come to think about it, we don't like the RTA either. He'll get our vote. Woops! There's anothet candidate on the same band wagon - the RTA. But we already committed our vote to him because of his stand on monthly pay for legislators. Another sure hit in the bid for popularity is the fellow who put on the line his assets and liabilities. This candidate tells us it's necessary to "restore confidence in public officials". A real American, we thought, and it made us feel real proud to be able to pledge a vote in his direction. The next one used a new tack. His letter began with some poor spelling by his secretary and a big "thank you". That made our day. Our typewriter does the same thing frequently. And it isn't often anyone takes the time to say they appreciate all those free inches we give away. He boosted our ego, too, when he referred to our coverage as "fair and impartial". That was what did it - that and the thoughtful bumper sticker he included with his CHILD HIT name on it. Surely this bonus d e s erves an X in front of his one rucc name on our ballot. pY BUS- DIES Then there's the judge ^ (Continued From Page 1) candidate who has his owir f recipe for influencing people, Hickory drive. commonly known as "Low Key". In his letter he states, "I will not try to comment on the qualifications or ability of myself or any candidate. My only concern now is to promote public interest. If the public is informed, then the public will be the winner". That brought tears to our eyes. Who can turn down such unselfish service? As for some of our present office holders, we can only say "Shame! Shame!" when we consider the tremendous cost of sending - out ego-boosting material for the public to read. There was one who required thirty-seven pages to tell us his accomplishments. An< when we finished we had learned he was for no new taxes and for open and honest government. That's what the lady said in one line. On the other side of the political fence another office holder sent copy that measured 6 inches wide and 9 inches deep in a heavy 12 X 16 envelope. We didn't much care what he had to say when we realized we were part of the vast public that must be paying for it. The months ahead will determine the winners. For the losers we have this consolation gleaned from the annals of American history. He lost his job in 1832; was defeated for the Legislature the same year; failed in business in 1833; #as elected legislator in 1834; lost his sweetheart in 1835; suffered a nervous break­ down in 1836; was defeated for 2904 McHenry. According to deputies. Ms. Brand said she was "following the road around" when she hit a car driven by Harvey W. Read of *5049 Cynthia lane, Racine, Wis., at the intersection. Her car continued on after impact and came to rest against a telephone pole. Susan M. Pierce of 408 N. Pitzen road, McHenry, told deputies her car slid down a hill and hit a pickup truck at the intersection of Pitzen and Bald Knob roads Sunday morning. Driver of the truck, Penny D. Speaker in 1838; was defeated for nomination for Congress in 1843; was elected to Congress in 1846, then lost renomination two years later; was rejected for Jand officer in 1849; was defeated lor the Senate in 1854 and also for nomination for vice-president in 1856; and was again defeated for the Senate in 1858. But he was elected President in 1860, only to be killed by an assassin while holding office. Many another politician, like Abraham Lincoln, must believe as he did, that he has a mission to fulfill. Otherwise, our desk would not be piled high with campaign promises. But let them beware of some weary editor, bored by the repetition of pledges, lest he (or she) forget that the pen, indeed, is mightier than the sword. Hold on fellows-and ladies- fame may some day be yours, one way or the other. KAF Shubert of 2815 N. Magellan drive. McHenry, said she saw the car sliding down a hill on Pitzen road but was unable to avoid impact. Robert L. Cowles of 3108 Bull Valley road, McHenry, escaped injury Saturday af­ ternoon after his car rolled over and came to rest on its top in a field near Bull Valley and < Ridge roads. According to the report, Cowles was west-bound on Bull Valley when a car pulled off Ridge road and Cowles took the ditch in an attempt to avoid impact. His auto slid across the road, hit a guide wire, rolled over and came to rest in a field. A car driven by Susanne L. Maniscalco of 1208 W. Oakleaf, McHenry, went out of control on Riverside drive near Scott avenue, north of McHenry, last Friday morning. Drifting snow on the roadway was cited as the cause of the accident. A ticket for improper turn at intersection was issued to James R. Moore of 1008 Oakleaf, McHenry following an accident at the intersection of Oakleaf and Hickory Way drives, Sunnyside, Saturday afternoon. Roger W. Pickell of 1016 Oakleaf, McHency, told of­ ficers he was west-bound on Oakleaf when Moore's pickup truck made a right turn from Hickory and slid into his lane. Moore said his truck slid on the slippery roadway, entered the west-bound lane and im­ pact took place with the Pickell auto. - Santa Claus, we has­ ten to Ireport, survived the Christmas rush and i s n o w r e c u p e r a t i n g slowly. SET PEDIATRIC SEMINAR 24 JAN. (Continued From Page 1) a.m. to 1 p.m. at McHenry hospital. Following registration at 9 o'clock and a general meeting. Dr. John Bowman will speak on "Overdoses in Children -- Management and Treatment". Later. Mrs. M. Haugen, R.N., will address the group and give a demonstration on the Poisondex used by the hospital. Dr. Bowman will speak again on "Animal Bites" and Dr. Gary Oberg will talk on The Treatment of Respiratory and Related--Diseases of the Pediatric Patient". For registration, contact Mrs. Richard L. ( Sandy) Bowe, 819 Althoff drive, McHenry. When a toddler swallows a substance which may be poisonous, his parents or baby­ sitter can now discover within minutes what is the proper treatment by calling the Poison Control center at McHenry hospital, 385-2200. Information on more than 124,000 poisonous substances is available at any time twenty- four hours a day, according to Dr. John Bowman, chairman of the hospital's emergency department. "As the area's Poison Control center, we have always had a data bank of information on poisons," Dr. Bowman said. "Now, thanks to a new poison- information system recently installed in our Emergency department, we have the most comprehensive and up-to-date information anywhere. "The system, called Poisondex, is used in this country's major medical centers. It lists substances ranging from poison ivy to radioactive materials and specifies the correct treatment for each." Information in the Poisondex system comes from the National Center for Poison Information, . the Rocky Mountain Poison Control center at Denver General hospital, and the University of Colorado Medical Center. Each of the 124,000 known poisonous substances is in­ dividually indexed by all known names, including slang terms for certain drugs and common misspellings. "Information is stored on microfilm cards," Dr. Bowman said. "Each card contains about 2,000 entries, and the cards are updated every three months. About 9,500 new items are added to the system each quarter." The most common problems which come to the attention of the McHenry hospital Poison* Control center involve youngsters between one and three years old who get into household cleaning products or medications. • "The best way to handle poison problems, of course, is by prevention," Dr. Bowman commented. "We cannot urge parents strpngly enough to prevent poisonings by keeping all potential dangers out of the children's reach." Toilet bowl cleaners, drain cleaners, insecticides, and other dangerous products are best stored in a locked cabinet, he pointed out. A high shelf is not as good, but better lhan counters or low cupboards. "Extremely dangerous ar­ senic-containing ant baits have no place in households with toddlers," he said. "And some products can be replaced in the home by less dangerous products. Oily furniture polishes - bright and sweet- smelling - are very attractive and dangerous to toddlers. They can be replaced by aerosol polishes. Most households store too many medicines. Outdated and seldom-used medicines should be discarded." Dr. Bowman uses a small fishing tackle box or tool box rather than a medicine cabinet in his home. It is locked with a small padlock, with a key which is carried on the adults' key chains. "Fishing tackle boxes 'are ideal. They are conveniently partitioned, and they are portable, so that when a family goes visiting, camping or traveling, all the important family medicine, including a thermometer and baby aspirin can be conveniently taken along. "One medicine that all households with toddlers should have is ipecac syrup, sold without a prescription in drug stores in one-ounce bottles. One tablespoon of ipecac followed by several glasses of water or pop will cause vomiting in most toddlers in about 20 minutes. We recommend that parents call the Poison Control center before giving ipecac, however, since vomiting is not recom­ mended following ingestion of corrosive substances or small amounts of oily* substances." Milk is a good first measure to take, according to Dr. Bowman, especially to dilute bleach, drain cleaners and acids. Time is precious. The quicker the poison can be diluted, the better. "Child-proof containers, so- called, are not actually child­ proof," Dr. Bowman said. "It just takes children longer to open them than ordinary containers. No marketed safeguards can take place of parental forethought and constant vigilance."
