\ In Bible Clinic PAGE 21 - PLAINDEALER - FWIDAY. JANUARY 20. 1978 Pastor Roger Olson and Martin Romme of Nativity Lutheran church are attending a two-week orientation clinic of the Bethel series, an international Bible study program administered by the Adult Christian Education foundation (ACEF). The series is in its eighteenth year. Orientation clinics are attended by pastors »wH Christian education directors, who return to their churches to train lay teachers. The teachers, in turn, present an overview study of Scriptures to adult members, which is the foundation for continuing adult study. Pastor Olson and Martin Romme are pictured here with a poster from the first Old Testament lesson of the Bethel series, "Creation and its Concepts." The poster is one of forty visual aids used to acquaint students and teachers with major Biblical themes. Masier Gardeners Of County Begin Training University of Illinois Master Gardeners have begun their training this past week according to Dave Plocher, cooperative Extension service adviser in McHenry county. "Master Gardeners will complete thirty hours of training by university Horticulture specialists and in return assist the McHenry county office as we meet the requests for horticulture information from local residents", Plocher explained. The Master Gardener voHmteers will be in the WoochUqck office of the Extensiohs^ervice beginning in March. Specific times will be announced at\ later time.

It has been able to supply more local groups with program speakers, and individuals with answers to their-* specific questions because of the Master Gardener volunteers. McHenry Highlights! >m McHenry Community High School CURRICULUM IMPROVEMENT revisions for the -cftcsJ year "?S '79 hsvs beer, made in several departments at McHenry high school. As this column explained in the last two issues, both the Social Science and English departments have reorganized curriculum and made some major revisions. Other departments in the district have done much the same. Courses Dropped In Foreign Language, Spanish III will be dropped from the East campus curriculum. According to Miss Kathleen Everitt, department chairperson, this is due to the fact that there will be no students eligible to take the course. The Learning Management program will be dropping two courses as well. These are the Potential Abilities and the Com­ munications course. These courses have not been taught since the 1976-77 school year. Staffing needs and student enrollments have made it impossible to offer them this year. With no anticipated staff increases in this department, they will not be offered next year. Business Education Revisions Business Principles will be dropped from the business department curriculum, because many of the units and concepts can be adopted by the existing Sales and Marketing and Distribution classes. Typing IIA and IIB changes from a two-semester sequence to a one-year course known as Typing H. According to Dan B o l a n d , d e p a r t m e n t coordinator at West, "even though more flexibility is provided through semester offerings, many students were Not Always The appearance of food is not always a good guide to its safety. When it comes to food poisoning, appearances can be deceiving. Illness-causing bacteria do not alter the appearance or odor of a food. That's why cases of food poisoning occur so often.

One semester is not enough time to fully develop the skills necessary for secretarial competency." Csftfcttdi Added Industrial Arts is one of the few departments adding courses. Vocational auto mechanics will be a junior- senior level offering. This course is added to provide a more adequate and intensive course for those students who have a sincere interest in the auto mechanics field or its related trades. Vocational Machine Trades is the other course added. This course is designed to prepare students for entry in machine related trades.

The singers are all looking forward to their spring concert with eagerness. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 22, 1953) When the McHenry library is opened in its new location in the near future, certainly among those most proud of the structure will be carpenters of Crystal Lake Local No. 2087 which includes carpenters from the McHenry community.

Miss Kathleen Bolger, a senior at McHenry high school and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Bolger of 906 N. Allen avenue, has been selected by a vote of the faculty as winner of the 1968 DAE Good Citizen award. The award is sponsored by the National society, Daughters of the American Revolution. Michigan State university honored 542 students who achieved an all-A record during fall term. Names of the students are to be placed on an honor roll that offers "recognition of the highest attainment scholarship". Howard Brody, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Brody, Bull Valley road, a freshman in the pre-professional program, is one of the all-A students. McHenry's new park in the Boone creek area off Route 120 is now taking shape and promises to nil a long-term need for a public recreation area. One of the next steps will be to select an appropriate name for the park. These were the highlights of a progress report made this week by William Bolger, City Council chairman of parks and recreation. The park is being developed primarily as a nature area and will make a fine addition to the city. V Keepin' Healthy f alv Each year, more and more people try snowmobiling as a wiphsr sport. "Flying" across the snow can be a lot of fun, but can also result in serious injury if the snowmobile is not used properly. The Illinois Department of Public Health has some advice for snowmobile users that will help them enjoy the sport by cutting down their fisk of in­ jury. First, when purchasing a snowmobile, look for these features: ,, 1. Guards for the drive chain and all other moving parts. Many people have been injured by getting their clothing en­ tangled in the machine. 2. Strong and easy-to-reach passenger handgrips. x»3. Adequate padding on they dash, steering bar and back end of seat. Exposed or poorly covered hardware at the back of the seat can injure the driver or passenger when riding over rough terrain. 4. A snowflap in the back to keep snow off the taillight. 5 A windshield which does not have a sharp stiff edge for the driver to impact on in case of a collision. 6. A good instruction and m a i n t e n a n c e m a n u a l . Secondly, when using your snowmobile, follow this checklist.: fuel for the trip. It's always wise to start with the tank filled, i j 2. Be sure the drive behjts in good condition. ' 3. Align and tighten the ski assemblies. 4. Check the track for tension and free movement. 5. Be sure the handlebars turn freely. 6. Check the weather forecast so you don't get caught in a storm. 7. Operate the throttle atnd brake controls several times before you start the engine. Stuck or frozen controls can cause serious injuries. 8. Locate the emergency shut-off switch. If the throttle sticks, hit the shut-off switch. 9. Check the windchill factor guide in your owner's manual. A speed of 15 m.p.h. in an outside temperature of 5 degrees F. produces the equivalent of -25 degrees F. and considerable danger of freezing arfeas of exposed skin. When operating your snowmobile, always wear goggles, a helmet with a chin strap and warm, protective clothing. Never wear scarves, loose belts or clothes that could catch on moving parts on tree limbs. Don't speed...your brakes have to be applied slowly and evenly, just as in a car on snow-covered roads. And, be alert...the noise of the snowmobile may prevent your hearing approaching trains, cars or other snowmobiles. If you want more information about snowmobile safety, contact your local health department, or write to: Illinois Department of Public Health, consumer Product Safety program, 535 West Jefferson, Springfield, 111. 62761. FACTS Send either a personal check or money order, but not cash when remitting Federal income tax. Charles F. Miriani. IRS District Director for Northern Illinois, says. Using a check or money order is not only safer, he ex­ plained, but the taxpayer has the added advantage of having a record to prove that he or she made the payment. Miriani also stressed the importance of entering a correct Social Security number on the check or money order, directly below the signature. If the payment should be separated from the tax return, the Director says it is very simple to readily locate the taxpayer's return through the use of the Social Security number. Taxpayers should also bear in mind that whether a check is certified or no-certified, the tax is not paid until the check is honored by the bank on which it is drawn. All checks or money orders should be made payable to "Internal Revenue Service."
