/ PAGE 3 - PI.AINDI AI.ER - FRIDAY, MARCH 30, lt7» SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER, HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT The lovely modern home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Rufflri, located at 1806 Cassandra drive, McHenry, reflects a taste for advanced design balanced with a love of rustic surroundings. It is among the Contemporary Design In Woodland Setting gracious and unusual group of residences chosen to please those participating in the Auxiliary to McHenry hospital's second Spring House Walk. The V/z year old rustic modern home of Mr. and Mrs. Don Ruffin, 1806 Cassandra drive, McHenry, attracts the attention immediately by means of its unique entryway, a redwood bridge to its front door. Upon entering, one notices the atmosphere of openness. The feeling of spaciousness is heightened by a floor plan centered around a suspended staircase, separating kitchen and dining area from living room. Because of this unique layout, Diane Ruffin is able to entertain and enjoy her guests while cooking in her gourmet kitchen. Among the con­ veniences at her fingertips are both conventional and microwave ovens, and a smoothe, heat-proof glass cooking top which provides ease of cleaning. The cook top has a charcoal grill which is interchangeable with a pan­ cake griddle. In the center is a butcher block, over which is hung an array of copper cooking utensils. Because the dining area and living room adjoin a cedar deck by way of thermopane doors, a view of the outdoors adds to the openness and enjoyment. Two of the four bedrooms in the home are on the main floor and one is in the lower level.

Food for the Elderly Through the national Nutrition Program for Older Americans, low-cost meals and related social services are being provided to many people 60 and over -- and their spouses of any age -- who need such assistance. Most meals under this program are provided in group settings, such as schools, community centers, churches and public housing. Un­ der some circumstances, meals can be home-delivered. Informa­ tion about these programs can be obtained by writing the Ad­ ministration on Aging, Wash­ ington, DC 20201, or from your state or local agency on aging. In addition, many low-income, elderly persons can stretch their incomes with food stamps -- the food coupons that are used like money at the grocery store and are obtained from the govern­ ment for less than face value An individual need not be receiving assistance payments to qualify for food stamps. Information about the program can be ob­ tained from the state or area agency on aging or your local department of social services, human resources or welfare.

Head Start Focuses On McHenry Community During the month of March, the educational unit for the Head Start pre-school has been the "community." Attention has been focused on the business and professional members of the community and their contributions toward the welfare of the local citizens. "Community day" at the center was held Thursday, March 22. The teachers assumed the roles of various business and professional people. Store and office fronts were made from large, corrugated boxes painted by the children under the direction of teacher Cheryl Marks. Through the use of role play the child learns to appreciate the relationship he has with his community. Other activities engaged in during the month included McDonald's day on the twelfth of March, walks into different stores on Main street in McHenry and visits from Sgt. Meyers of the McHenry County Sheriff's department and Fireman Wayne Amore from the McHenry Fire department. for the entire family in our new Prescription Optical Center 'Prescriptions Accurately Filled * Duplication of Lenses 'Wide Assortment of Designer Fashion Frames 'Finest Quality At Low, Low Prices 'Prescription Specialist Always Ready To Serve You 'No Appointment Necessary A D R U G 4400 W.
