"Moraine Hills State park is a model facility that will provide high quality recreation while protecting the park's highly sensitive ecology. It contains two dedicated nature preserves. "The park will be a quiet place-just an hour from Chicago's Loop, where people can go hiking, bicycling, or cross-country skiing on 11 miles of improved trails. "Hundreds of acres of wetlands and water will provide excellent opportunities for . fishing and wildlife ob­ servation. "Sixteen thousand years ago, when the last glaciers disap­ peared, much of northern Illinois looked much like this park does today. Most of the other areas have been greatly changed by man. Fortunately, this area has remained relatively untouched. "Now we have insured its survival, so this land will be preserved for the future generations of Illinoisans." MAGAZINE IS FEATURING McHENRY COUNTY (Continued from page 1) Dick Tracy has headquartered since 1935. Notable, too. is McHenry county's association with President Gerald Ford. It was at Harvard that his parents were wed, and his participation with government was not without precedence since his grandfather, Levi A. Gardner, was mayor of Harvard from 1895* through 18%. A wide range of references was used by the author in compiling the chapter of McHenry county, part of the effort which goes into the tradition of accurate historical reporting which is a hallmark with Outdoor Illinois magazine among its thousands of readers throughout Illinois. The magazine has been published in Benton since 1962. The full-color cover painting for the October edition is a sparkling rendition of the Woodstock Square. It is one of a series on nationally famous ^ landmarks in Illinois.

CANCER Answerlline American Cancer Society J (Editor's Note: This is a regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer society with cooperation of the McHenry county unit, Eustice Klein, president, to help save your life from cancer.) A woman writes: "I have a condition called en­ dometriosis, and I am worried because I am afraid that it will lead to cancer. Am I right?" ANSWERline: The en­ dometrium is a mucous membrane which forms the interlining of the uterus or womb. Sometimes this tissue grows outside of the womb, and this condition is called en­ dometriosis. While it can cause internal bleeding, and it can sometimes be painful, en­ dometriosis is not cancer, nor does it lead to cancer Naturally, you should be under the care of a physician A worried father writes: "My son is 17 and he recently put himself on a Zen diet of some sort. He is practically living on cereal alone. He tells me that if my father, his grandfather, had followed that kind of diet, he would not have died of cancer last year. What can you tell me?" ANSWERline: The Zen Macrobiotic Diet is one of the most dangerous your son could have chosen. It has been condemmed by the American Medical Association and leading experts on nutrtion as a serious health hazard. A woman in New Jersey died of starvation after following this diet for nine months. You might tell your son that after careful review,- the American Cancer Society has published a statement noting that this diet, "is not beneficial in treating cancer." It is a cruel deception to suggest that such a harmful diet could have saved his grandfather. A college student writes: "I am interested in behavior modification, and I think it could be of help to people who want to quit smoking cigarettes. Has it been tried9 ANSWERline: Behavior modification is one of the techniques used in smoking withdrawal groups, including those sponsored by the American Cancer Society. The potential quitter discovers that smoking is a learned habit which he or she can consciously unlearn. One of the ways that is accomplished is to make the smoker strongly aware of when he or she smokes, and why. If. for example, a smoker automatically lights up with coffee at the end of a meal, there is a benefit in changing that double pattern of behavior by, for example, leaving the table and having coffee elsewhere, or using both hands to hold the cup-anything to break the chain of habits, thereby modifying behavior A union member asks' 'is there any way of estimating how many workers will get cancer"71 am trying to convince my membership to try some preventive health measures and this information would help." ANSWERline: In terms of rough estimate, 21 million of the more than 85 million Americans in the work force today will develop cancer sometime in their lives. However, there are some preventive measures, such as regular medical checkups, and heeding the seven warning signals, to find cancer early when it is most curable Your American Cancer Society Unit would be glad to help you plan a program to help safeguard the health of your union mem­ bership and their families The •ACS can provide such programs free of charge.
