Persons Nearing 65 Contact Social Security Office People nearing 65 who are not already receiving Social Security benefits should con­ tact the Woodstock Social Security office two or three months before their birthday, Bill Biscomb, branch manager said today. These people should do so in onder to be sure that they have full Medicare protection the month they reach 65. This is true, Biscomb said, even tHough they have no retirement plans. People not already getting monthly benefits have a limited time to act to be sure their full Medicare protection begins at 65. If they don't act within the three month period before the month they reach 65, their Medicare medical insurance protection can be delayed from one to three months. Medical insurance may be delayed for a year or more if a person fails to act within the three months after their sixty-fifth birthday and the monthly r%th . premium may be increased. People should have certain evidence available when they contact the office, he said. This includes their Social Security card or a record of the number; proof of age, preferably a birth or baptism record made shortly after birth; and a W-2 (Wage and Tax statement) or self- employment tax return for the previous year. Biscomb said that people who don't have this information should not delay contacting Sound-Light At Capital Social Security. The people at the Woodstock office can suggest other evidence which can be used. Full information about Medicare and Social Security monthly benefits can be ob­ tained at the Woodstock Social Security office, located at 1090 McConnell road.

Safety In The Sun Take sun in small doses at first, increasing exposure gradually. That's what Ordie Hogsett, University of Illinois Extension sai£ty specialist, recommefidsto protect against sunburn, heat exhaustion and sunstroke. But if you do get too much sun, here's what to do: Sunburn results in reddened skin and blisters. Cold cream or a burn ointment may relieve pain in mild cases. But if you do get too much sun: here's what to do: Sunburn results in reddened skin and blisters. Cold cream or a burn ointment may relieve pain in mild cases. But Hogsett says a dry dressing and professional medical attention are necessary for severely blistered and burned skin. Pale, cold, clammy skin; heavy perspiration; and shallow breathing result from working too hard in extreme heat. Place a heat exhaustion victim in shade on his back with head slightly lowered. While waiting for professional help, Hogsett suggests giving the victim sips of a mild salt solution and loosening clothing. Overexposure to both the sun and heat can mean sunstroke. Sunstroke symptoms include a red face, dry skin, high body temperature, slow and noisy breathing and un­ consciousness. Raise victim's head slightly and loosen clothes. Sponge victim with alcohol or lukewarm water until a physician arrives. [ POLrCE TICKETS j The City of McHenry Police department has issulpd the following tickets. \ Theresa A. Smith. 140^\N.

"Sound and Light at the Old State Capitol" began its third season May 27, and will be presented nightly except Mondays at 9 o'clock (weather permitting) through Saturday, Sept. 9. Admission is free to the 45- minute multi-media electronic production. Audiences are seated in a special portable grandstand on the south mall of the Old State Capitol plaza in downtown Springfield. The voice of the late Lee J. Cobb narrates the story of Abraham Lincoln's association with the Old Capitol, his political career, and his ap­ proach to the issues that precipitated the Civil War. The drama is contained on a one-inch eight-track magnetic tape, 3,400 feet long, moving at 15 inches per second. The tape, which plays voices, music, and sound effects over eleven \ strategically placed high fidelity speakers, also activates more than 160 lighting fixtures to pre-coded color and intensity levels. This techonolgy enables sound and light to exploit the power of suggestion to such a degree that the audience-in its mind's eye-begins to "see and hear" the events that took place when Lincoln lived in Springfield and worked in the Old Capitol. Street lighting and store display lighting adjacent to the Old Capitol are extinguished during "Sound and Light at the Old State Capitol" to minimize 20th-century distractions. Street traffic on adjoining streets is also halted: for one hour each performance evening beginning at 6:45, Sixth street will be closed at Monroe, Adams at Seventh, Fifth at Jefferson, and Washington at Fourth. "Sound and light at the Old State Capitol" is operated by the Illinois State Historical library. Comments or queries regarding the presentation should be directed to Illinois State Historian, Old State Capitol, Springfield, 111., 62706.
