ACE HARDWARE 3729 W. Elm St. McHenry, III. 385-0722 The Department of Public Aid has reported that there has been a dramatic reduction in the number of lost or stolen public assistance checks. The agency credits the initiation of its Direct Delivery program with reducing the number of lost or stolen checks from a high of more than 12,000 a month in 1975 to a current total of less than 1,000 monthly. Public Aid Director Arthur Quern said that prior to Direct Delivery the department had to process forgery claims for more than $1.3 million, due to the high volume of lost or stolen checks. "Fortunately, the problem has almost disap­ peared. While we are sending out just about as many checks as we were in 1975 ( 362,000 a month) now we have reduced the number of lost and stolen checks to under 1,000 a month. Of these, 84 percent are confirmed "stop payments", resulting in no waste or duplication of payments. We can credit the Direct Delivery program with savings of more than $785,000 a month of Illinois taxpayers and substantially reducing the number of public aid clients who must deal with the problems caused when these checks are lost or stolen." Direct Delivery was initiated to bring the proper assistance check to the proper payee. Under this system, fewer checks are stolen and the possibility of forgery is prac­ tically eliminated. Recipients benefit because they always receive their checks promptly. In fact, under Direct Delivery, every check has arrived at the designated financial institution on time. What makes it work? To get the right check to the right person, all Direct Delivery checks are mailed to the financial institutions, banks, savings and loans and currency exchanges of the recipients' choice, rather than to in­ dividual homes. Recipients no longer have to look in their mailboxes for checks that might have been stolen. In­ stead, their checks are waiting at the financial institutions. Recipients have five days to pick up their checks. Each recipient must produce a proper photo identification card, provided free by the department. A current Medical Eligibility card and one other means of identification are also required. Those checks not claimed by the end of the fifth day are returned to the Comp­ troller's office to be voided. An average of $785,000 per month or $9.42 million per year is being returned to the Comp­ troller's office for voiding. Direct Delivery offers yet another protection in that "safety checks", money orders payable to recipients in any amount, are provided free of charge. This lessens the need for carrying large sums of cash outside the financial in­ stitutions. Often bill payments can be mailed at the same place the recipients pick up their assistance checks. Any public assistance recipient in a Direct Delivery county can have his or her check mailed in this way. Of recipients in Cook county, 89.7 percent of those under AFDC are participants in Direct Delivery, and 92 percent of those under GA (General Assistance) have their checks mailed in this way. There is no charge for the service. However, there is a customary fee charged if the check is cashed at the currency ex­ change. "Because Direct Delivery has played so successful a part in the department's programs to reduce ineligibility, avoid duplicate assistance, and make sure the right person gets the correct amount of assistance," Director Quern said, 'we are now considering instituting the system in five other counties in the near future." Sanitation Course For Restaurateurs The Chicago & Illinois Restaurant association (CIRA), in cooperation with state and local health depart­ ments, is offering a course in foodservice sanitation which complies with the new Illinois Foodservice Rules and R e g u l a t i o n s . L o c a l restaurateurs and foodservice managers will be attending 3-5 hour sessions beginning Aug. 15, at 9:30 a.m. at Crescent Bay Landing, 3309 N. Chapel Hill road, McHenry. The course fee includes state certification in foodservice sanitation. In­ formation and registration forms are available from the Chicago & Illinois Restaurant association, 312-372-6200, or state and local health depart­ ments. CIRA has worked with the Illinois Department of Public Health to establish an uniform health code and to develop a program for the certification of foodservice operators. When the new code goes into effect July 1, 1978, each foodservice establishment then or thereafter in operation, must be under the operational supervision of a resident managerial person who has been certified under this Rule. This course will use the National Institute for the Foodservice Industry's (NIFI) textbook which is recognized by the Department of Public Health for the program. A test will be given at the final session which upon satisfactory completion will render a cer­ tificate acceptable to the state. Improve The Record Governor James R. Thomp­ son has announced that steps are being taken to improve the state's record of hiring women and minority group members. In a Springfield address to the Illinois Equal Employment Opportunity Office Public Policy symposium, the governor said that the state should insure minority hiring both as an employer and as an enforcer. "For example," Thompson said, "forty percent of all new state troopers are either women or members of a minority group."

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Fox Hole Wins, Holds Onto First Fox Hole beat Johnsburg Tavern Thursday night, 5-1, to remain undefeated and in first place in the Men's 16" league with a perfect 6 win, 0 loss record. Johnsburg drops into a tie for third place with Old Bridge at 4 and 2. Against Johnsburg, Fox Hole scored 4 runs in the second inning and added a run in the sixth while not allowing a Johnsburg runner to score until the final inning. Johnsburg managed only 4 hits in the contest. Fox Hole first baseman Marty Conway started the 4- run second inning with a homerun over the left field fence. Denny Smith reached on an error and Dave Smith doubled him home for the second run of the inning. After a fly out, Randy Thiel singled. Don Bentz and Ted Freund then com­ mitted errors for Johnsburg and Smith and Thiel and Thiel scored. •In the sixth, Denny Smith and Dave Smith singled, and Denny scored on a ground out. Johnsburg's only run scored when they rallied in the seventh inning. Jim Meyers doubled and Ted Freund singled him home. Myron Bentz hit into a double play to end the game. Dave Smith was the only player on either team to manage 2 hits. Town Pump Wins Battle Of Cellar-Dwellers Thursday's second game featured the two new additions to the league this year, neither of which had won a game. When it was over, Town Pump found itself out of the cellar, as they defeated Sunnyside Inn, 11-6. Town Pump scored 5 times in the first inning and never trailed in the contest. Sunnyside tallied 3 times in the second inning, thanks in part to a dropped fly ball by Town Pump right fielder Dale Anderson. Town Pump then put the game on ice by scoring 3 runs in the third and fourth innings to lead, 11-3. Sunnyside staged a rally in the seventh inning and scored 3 more times, thanks to two walks and an error. However, the rally fell short and Sunnyside found itself with a 0 win, 6 loss record. Darrell Anderson, Town Pump's leading hitter, enjoyed a 2 for 3 day at the plate, driving in 2 runs. Randy An­ derson, Dale Anderson, and Dave Diedrich added 2 hits each. Mark Fredricks and Chris Felde paced the loser's with 2 hits each. Around The League With one game to go in the first round, Fox Hole is assured of at least a tie for the lead after this week's games. Thursday, they meet second-place Hautzinger in what could be a very interesting contest. The Fox Hole-Johnsburg Tavern game figured to be a interesting game, but both teams' bats were silent. Johnsburg misses the bat of injured Wayne Hiller. Without Hiller, Johnsburg may have trouble staying as high as third in the standings. Hautzinger doesn't seem to score alot of runs, but they have been playing very consistent CHAPEL HILL COUNTRY CLUB is open for BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER 7 Days a Week Sunday Brunch 10:00-3:00 DAILY DINNER SPECIALS SERVED 5 P.M.

The Bridge has a habit of allowing the opposition to take an early lead and then fight from behind. Coppermine and Hiller's figure to battle for fifth place the rest of the year. Neither team plays con­ sistent enough to go on a winning streak that could carry them into the first division. In its first two games, Town Pump displayed an abundance of hitting. Due to a violation of league rules, those first two games wnich Town Pump apparently won, were forfeited. Since the forfeits, Town Pump has not displayed the same potent hitting attack. And their fielding is shaky at best. Sunnyside Inn continues to flounder. The only positive note for the Inn, is the fact that as of late, they have not been losing by the 15-run rule. ~--- Next Games Games, Thursday, June 22: First game, Town Pump vs. Old Bridge: Second game, Fox Hole vs. Hautzinger Concrete. Player Of The Week Jerry Brodin of Hautzinger Concrete is this week's player of the week. Brodin had 3 hits in 3 at-bats against Coppermine, including 2 homeruns. He scored twice and drove in four runs in the game.
