If so, you saw a beautiful sight. It was another successful "Rescue 50" sponsored „ by Harmony Snowmobile club. Well over $6,000 was raised for McHenry and Johnsburg. Hebron riders rode to benefit the Hebron Rescue squad with over $1,000 in pledges. All the riders from the clubs appreciate the confidence of those persons participating and sponsoring them. In order to make it easier for the rider you sponsored, be sure to get your donation to him to turn in. COUPLES "500" Paul and Althea Walkington attended their "500" card club at the home of Dorothy and Glenn Benoy in Hebron last Saturday night. A delicious supper was served and then cards were played. Hie food must have been good 'brain' food for Danny Rawson and Althea Walkington because they went home with high scores. Don't know what happened to Paul Walkington and Helen Winn though, because they ended up with low scores. Sorry you two, better luck next time.

HOUSING AUTHORITY MEETS The McHenry County Housing authority will hold its regular monthly meeting Jan. 23, at 9:30 a.m. in the Housing authority's office, 329 Lake avenue, Woodstock. By Willis W. Alexander Executive Vice President A merican Bankers Association Determined to make 1978 the year in which you get fi­ nances under control? Maybe what you need is some expert help. Last year thousands of Americans found that it was to their advantage to make use of the asset management and financial planning capa­ bilities provided by some 4,000 full service banks offer­ ing trust services. For years these services have been popularly thought of as the exclusive domain of the well-to-do, but with the complexity of today's econ­ omy, and the relative level of affluence many Americans enjoy, more and more people are finding professional assist­ ance valuable in providing for their own personal financial security and asset protection. If your property value (including your home, other real estate, savings, busineis interests, stocks, bonds, secu­ rities, stamps, coins, antiques and life insurance )totals more than $100,000, it might be worth your while to investi­ gate the benefits offered by these bank services. Fees charged are based on the type and level of service required. Usually they are calculated as a percentage of the assets in­ volved. f The services provided by bank < trust departments generally break down into five distinct areas -- each of which is designed to meet a specific need, but which may be used in combination with • any other to match your individual requirements. The five areas of assistance are: - a * Personal financial ad­ vice and counsel. * Assistance in tax plan­ ing. * Custodial arrangements for certain assets for exam­ ple bonds with coupons, stock certificates, gold coins and other valuables. * Investment management services -- in which the fin­ ancial institution exercises de­ signated discretion in the ma- {ement of assets. * Trust services--in which the institution actually takes title to the property, manag­ ing it for the benefit of the desired beneficiaries subject to the express directions of the person setting up the trust account. While $100,000 in assets is a good rale of thumb for determining your need for such service, people with less have often decided that they need professional assistance and have been successfully accommodated by their local full service bank. To find out if you could benefit too, check with your banker to find out which financial in­ stitution in your area offers trust services. Then, make an appointment for professional financial advice. It just might get your re­ solution off the ground. For and about Teenagers BY PATRICK EDWARD THIS WEEK'S LETTER: I'm a 14 year-old girl who needs help. I like this boy and he likes me. But when I ask my friends about ?him and me they jtell me that I j o u g h t t o f i n d someone else. I've i asked my mother about him, too, and she thinks l l ' m c r a z y f o r liking him. This one friend of mine is even trying to set me up with other guys. My problem is: Should I go ahead and still like him or should I do what my friends tell me? OUR REPLY: You should follow mainly what you feel when determining who you "like".

FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS. BOX 639, FRANKFORT. KY 40602.) Drugs, Drinking, and Driving Don't Mix Each year more than 50,000 American people die in traffic accidents. About half of those deaths (an estimated 28,000) are a bigger problem than homicide, which was the cause of 18,491 deaths. So alcohol-related accidents are a bigger problem than homicide, which was the cause of 18,491 deaths. The biggest problem of all is the alcoholic or problem drinker. They make up less than 10 percent of the driving population, but are involved in two-thirds of those 28,000 deaths. Alcohol, however, is not the only drug under whose influ­ ence it is dangerous to drive. Although it was once thought relatively safe to drive while slightly "high," there is now evidence both from the laboratory and from the anal­ ysis of actual driving behavior that marihuana in typical so­ cial doses seriously impairs driving ability. While "high," the driver is not only likely to have attention lapses but also is likely to rryss important visual cues especially in his or her peripheral vision. Thus he or she may not see the car coming out of the side street until it is too late to avoid6 an accident. It also lias been determined > that psychotropic drugs, suph as tranquillizers, can impair driving ability by: (1) caus­ ing sleepiness, or numbness, or other side effects; (2) changing the personality either through intoxication from the drug or through difficulties experienced in the initial abstinence period after taking the drug for a long time; and especially, (3) in­ creasing the effects of alcohol consumed during the same time period as the other drugs. Barbiturates lead to unsafe driving because reaction times increase, causing the person, for instance, not to apply the brakes in time before hitting something or someone. The increased deterioration of driving skills under barbitu­ rates, alcohol, or a combina­ tion of the two indicates that driving should be avoided under their influence, re­ searchers report Alcohol as well as some other drugs when used in combinations may have more serious consequences than when used alone. Barbiturates and alcohol as well as mari­ huana and alcohol may impair performance far more than either used alone. Such over- the-counter medications as the antihistamines that are part of common cold remedies may induce increased drowsiness.' especially when used with al­ cohol or other sedative drugs. Again, combinations of such drugs may have far more seri­ ous consequences for per­ formance than when used singly. This information recently was presented in Drug Users and Driving Behaviors, pub­ lished by the National Insti­ tute on Drug Abuse and in The Problem Drinker and You, published by the Na­ tional Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
