INSPIRATION FOR NEW YEAR 78 (Continued from page 1) The occasion is now only a memory, but ' the service provided by eighty-seven women and three men for McHenry hospital makes their story a very special one at holiday time. Ninety volunteers who served 17,742 hours, during the past year were honored recently at an awards lun­ cheon. The ninety participated in linen sewing, admitting, patient services, escort, in­ formation clerking, snack shop cashiering, gift shop and recreation therapy. Their work is an inspiration with the start of a new year. An appeal for more volun­ teers was made by Victoria Behan, director of volunteer services. "The increasing role of volunteers in both patient services and in our Outreach community health programs will require more and more persons like you, who are in­ terested in service," she said. More information on volunteer service may be obtained by calling the hospital, extension 622 or 679. Eight of the Pink Ladies have accumulated more than 3,000 hours of service.

It's The Cape Did you know that bulls can't actually see red? It's the movement of the toreador's cape that attracts the bull. The color red is for the benefit of the spec­ tator. In fact, most animals can't distinguish colors. The Christmas of 1977 or the vacation trip planned for next summer need not be relived as a boring slide show, says Dave Plocher, McHenry County Extension Adviser. Young people who can take sharp, well-lighted slides can create an interesting slide show if they follow a few simple rules. Plocher says that good slide shows start with slides that speak for themselves. Get your camera close to the action and eliminate items that distract from the. sublet of each pic­ ture. Be spiflc witti both picture and narration. If you are generalizing, you probably shouldn't be talking. Know your audience. Cap­ turing your audience's at­ tention is much-easier if you know what interests thepi. Instead of trying to show every last person or activity, tell your story through representative individuals. Follow the same person through several activities and use plenty of close-ups. Be brutal, says Plocher. Edit your script apd pictures. Eliminate unnecessary slides. Remember, long explanations and involved anecdotes slow the pace of your Slide show.'if you have to explain why: a picture came out the way it did, retake it or eliminate it. If you want to repeat a slide for continuity, take pictures or have copies mi from the original. And finally, pace your shoW. Illustrate some ideas with j a single slide, others with a series of slides. A series of pictures can show action, progress and success with just a few words of in­ troduction. Try to make a word worth thousands of pictures, concludes Plocher.
