PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-F1UDAY. JUNE It. Illinois Senate President Cecil Partee, D-Chicago, left, and Senator Jack Schaffer, R-Cary, explain the duties of a Senate page to Connie Harrison of Woodstock. Connie will serve as a page in Springfield until the end of this year's legislative session. County Sends First Senate Page In Century Nineteen-year-old Connie Harrison of Woodstock will go to the polls for the first time this Fall. But her summer job as a page in the Illinois Senate will give her an inside knowledge of many of the people and issues involved. Her duties as a page range from making sure each senator has a copy of all legislation before the Senate to running errands and delivering messages for the legislators. She was sponsored for the position by state Senator Jack Schaffer, R-Cary. Connie is most pleased, however; with the public contact required by her job. She feels dealing with the senators and their constitutents will be excellent training for her career as an airline stewardess. A nominee for McHenry County Dairy Princess, she is currently a junior at Illinois State university majoring in parks and recreation. "Senate pages are afforded a unique opportunity to see the American politcial process in action," Schaffer commented. "I am pleased to see this op­ portunity extended to bright, efficient young people like Connie." Miss Harrison is the first Senate page from the 33rd Legislative district and is believed to be the first Senate page from McHenry county since the turn of the century when the area was last repr- sented in the Illinois State Senate. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Harrison of rural Woodstock. J INSIGHT . By Lorry Swaim Q. Mr. Swaim, I believe that almost all politicians are crooked and I believe it is impossible for a Christian to be a politician. Don't you believe that Christians should stay out of politics? A: You have made several broad, sweeping generalities that I cannot agree with. First. "1 do not believe that all politicians are crooked and I do believe it is possible for a Christian to be involved in politics and »government. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." I am sure nothing would please the racketeers, gang­ sters and underworld more than for all Christians and honest people to stay away from the polls on election day and to refuse to get involved in politics. Not only do I believe that Christians can be involved in govern­ mental affairs, but I urge Christians to do so. The cli­ che, "Politics is dirty" is un­ true. There are many men in government who have very high principles, fine motives and unquestionable integrity -- they have sacrificed person­ ally to effectively serve the people they represent. It is true that there are some crooked politicans. We need to be well enough informed on the issues and men in political elections to vote out the bad ones and vote in the good ones, otherwise, the cli­ che, "All politics is dirty," may become a reality. For a confidential and Bib­ lical answer to your ques­ tions, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30306.

Committee members shown left to right are Esther Dubsky, Yvonne Wilson, Elvi Mikk, Lena Wells, Louise Wanger, Elvera Justen, Walter Wanger, Lori Wilhelm, and Betha Stange. Photo by Matt Doherty Review Outstanding Projects Of Fine Arts In Past Year The annual meeting of the Fine Arts association was recently held at the Scheinfeld residence, adjacent to the Woodstock center. Ann Kimball and Lynn Pensinger, co-chairman of the event, planned a brunch buffet for association members and' guests, preceding the morning meeting and program. Darlene Fiske, president of WFAA, reviewed the many projects sponsored by the association during the year, despite the Opera House closing for restoration work. These included the new Conductor-in - Residence - program, an innovative musical project which received county-wide acclaim; the "Encounter with the Theater" program classroom dramatic presentations for county school students, plus the continuing Affiliate Artist and Creative Living Series program. The Woodstock Fine Arts association also sponsored bus trips for area residents to at­ tend Chicago special events and held a Fall membership luncheon. Fund raising projects, in addition to ticket sales and membership dues, included a summer ice cream social and a great garage sale. ~ Helen Wrigth, WFAA vice- president, announced the programs for the thirteenth Creative Living series which will begin in October. The Affiliate Artist program, sponsored in McHenry county for the third year by the Sears foundation, the Illinois Arts council and the WFAA, brings director Kenneth Franel from his professional career on the East coast to work with drama students and teachers in the county schools, amateur theater groups and as theatrical advisor to Opera House personnel. Sharon Harrison coordinated the Af- filite Artist program this year; Donna Gregg will head the project for the coming year. Esther Wanieck, director of "Encounter with the Theater," discussed the program's significant impact on county schools during the past six years, during which time students in classroom situations were given an op­ portunity to experience and appreciate live theater in an intimate setting. In addition to their broad spectrum of dramatic presentations for kindergarten through high school, the Encounter troupe this year worked extensively with students in the county SEDOM program.. «r Thp entertainment for the meeting featured vignettes from favorite operas- LaTroviata, Carmen, The Magic Flute, and Marriage of Figaro-performed by Ruth Ann Bishop, Ann Tirk, John Pierce, Virginia Zymonas, Betty Leslie and Marie Ann Voss, accompanied by Wesley Vos. All these performers par­ ticipated in the tremendously successful Conductor-In- Residence program, sponsored by WFAA, the Illinois Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts and individual contributors. The program brought professional conductor Elmer Thomas of the Unviersity of Cincinnati to McHenry county to work with choral and in- s t r u m e n t a l g r o u p s , culminating with the sellout performances of Noah's Flude in March, a memorable musical experience for both audience and performer. Concluding the program, president Darlene Fiske remarked. "It is all too easy to overlook the quantity and quality of our 'home grown' talent. The WFAA hopes to rectify this mistake through programs like the CIR that search out this fine talent from all over the county." WHO KNOWS! 1. Define oligotrichia. 2. What mammal flies? 3.

" JI'T *> "We do not deal with life threatening procedures in podiatry," explained the committee in its report. "Many surgical procedures on the foot can be done during lunch or in an even-, ing, thus eliminating hospi­ tal expenses and long peri­ ods of convalescense. There is no need to lose work time with these ambulatory procedures." And there is no reason why 70% to 80% of the pop­ ulation continues to suffer from such painful foot ail­ ments as bunions, corns, ingrown nails, hammer toes, heel spurs and similar ail­ ments when they can be corrected quickly, with vir­ tually no pain and with no loss of time. In the study made by the Academy of Ambulatory Foot Surgery, it was learned, many of those who suffer from these ailments tend to blame them on ill fitting shoes. "This is a fallacy," the Academy added. "Ill fitting shoes only tend to aggravate an already painful condi­ tion. Patients have sick feet not sick shoes. "There's no reason in the world why so many Americans just ignore their painful foot conditions, yet spend considerable sums of money on styles and colors of shoes raiher than repair­ ing inherent foot problems Which are torturous." Only a small percentage of Americans with foot problems seek out a podia­ trist to help them solve these painful ailments.

LSAKS. . .... The committee on pa­ tient statistics for the Acad­ emy of Ambulatory Foot Surgery, a Philadelphia- based society, explained that unlike most forms of medicine, podiatrist* do not just treat symptoms or treat pain--they can correct most foot problems. "Today," the Academy stated, "podiatrists know much more about the foot, and have developed special skills and instruments to perform surgical procedures in their offices with virtual­ ly no pain and with a high percentage of permanent corrections." These men and women who have developed these skills and can utilize the special instruments which require only tiny openings in the skin rather than open surgery belong to the Acad­ emy of Ambulatory Foot Surgery.
