NEWS Mceeeeeeeeeeeieeeee* e e e by Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott Later this year, federal and private agencies will begin a massive campaign to make citizens more aware of the "epidemic" of child abuse. Many of us think of bruised bodies, broken limbs and in­ jured heads when we think of abused children. And this, sadly, is often the case. But there are more subtle forms of child abuse: Children left alone, unfed and uncared for long periods of time; children sexually abused; children given liquor and mind-altering drugs... The list could go on These forms of child abuse are not always as visible or as immediately detectable, but they can be as dangerous ~ or more so -- as bruises and broken bones. In Illinois, there now is protection for persons wishing to report cases of suspected child abuse. This protection falls under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting act. The law presumes good faith and grants immunity from all liability to every person who makes a good faith report of suspected child abuse or neglect This immunity and food faith presumption and expressly extended to cover reporting individuals, agencies an institutions. I is crucial that anyone, in good faith, report immediately any suspected child abuse or neglect to the Ulindls Depart­ ment of Children and Family Services. Let's take a for instance; You may be a neighbor who ob­ serves the seven-year-old child next door every day. You've noticed that his parents are rarely home, and when they are, they're most often in­ toxicated that the child scours garbage cans for scraps of food...that he is unbathed and his clothing is dirty, torn, and inadequate for the weather, and that he wanders through the neighborhood late at night This goes on for days, and weeks. You want to help -- or get help for - the child But you're afraid to get involved .so you don't report the situation to authorities. Then one day the child is found dead, from ex­ posure and lack of food, in the gutter in front of your door. That happens That has happened. And it will hap­ pen again and again in a variety of ways...if people are afraid to get involved, afraid to care. Statistics show that the new Illinois law presuming good faith and granting immunity from all liability likely has been the cause of an increased number of suspected child abuse reports. But there still are numbers of abused and neglected children not getting help Do you know one0 And remember, too, that you're required under law to report cases of suspected child abuse or neglect if you are a physician, hospital official, surgeon, dentist, osteopath, chiropractor, podiatrist, Christian Science practitioner, coroner, school teacher, school administrator, truant office, social worker, social services administrator, registered nurse, license practical nurse, director or 3taff assistant of a nursery school or child day care center, law enforcement officer of public aid field worker If everyone knows that his good faith report is not only needed, but also carries with it an immunity from all liability, more reports will be made and our children will be better protected from the tragedies of abuse and neg'ect. - J /THi ALEXANDER LUMBER 909 N.

What is fog" It is really a cloud on the surface of the earth? Yes, fog is nothing more than a cloud. All clouds are formed when some kind of cooling process lowers the moisture capacity of the air to the point where moisture becomes visible particles--thus a cloud. This process can occur in several different ways and under different circum­ stances. In the fall, when fog is seen most often in most parts of the country (the west coast experiences much fog in winter), fogs are usually caused when the earth (heated during summer) loses its heat into the cooler night air. As the warmer air from the earth's surface rises and is cooled, fog forms. Cold ground, in spring, for example, can make its own fog when warm moist air bloWs over it--by cooling the air to the cloud stage. Fog, then, is nothing more than a land-locked cloud. The Veterans administration has reminded men and women recently separated from military service to double check veterans' benefits for which they may qualify as well as deadlines that may govern eligibility.
