The question that is puzzling doctors is: When should the ton­ sils be removed for the sake of your health? What are tonsils, anyway? The tonsils are spongy. glandular tissues at the back of the throat and behind the nose. There are three sets of tonsils: (I) the throat tonsils (2) the linguals (3) the adenoids. The first two sets are usually called tonsils and the third set adenoids. Normally the throat tonsils are small and barely visible. They are on each side of the back wall of the throat, just behind and above the tongue. The linguals are on either side of the tongue at its base. Both become enlarged on infection. The adenoids are above and behind the soft palate, where the nose and mouth come together. If infected the adenoids may become large enough to EDUCATIONAL) block the flow of air from nose to throat, forcing mouth breathing. Tonsils and adenoids provide a defense against infections that invade the body through the nose and mouth. Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils that results in swelling and inflammation, pain and soreness, difficulty in breathing and swallowing, enlargement of the lymph glands, fever, rapid pulse and general illness. With modern antibiotics, infections now respond to treatment within a few days, says a pamphlet from the American Medical Associa­ tion. Repeated infection can result in permanent damage to the ton­ sils. When this happens they no longer protect against infection, but become themselves a source of recurrent infections. At this point your doctor likely will re­ commend removal of the tonsils. Tonsillectomy and adenoidec- tomy (T&A) is among the safest surgical operations performed. Like all surgery, however, it in­ volves some risk. T&A will by no means guarantee against fu­ ture colds and throat infections. <• I I W----"••••" | j College Honors j I I Donna Biolawa Works On U Of W Costume Designs Costuming for "Richard III" in this year's Platteville Shakespeare festival poses some special problems and challenges for costume designer Wendy Collins and her assistants, including Donna Bielawa of McHenry. "This show is just immense," Wendy said recently as she worked in the costume shop in Doudna hall at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. "I think it's the biggest play so far." The festival will run from July 7 to August in this, its third, season, at the Doudna Little Theatre. Besides "Richard," it will include "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Twelfth Night," two comedies which pose fewer costume problems and smaller casts.

Domke, McHenry. (Don Peasley Photography) The McHenry County Association for the Retarded has formed a committee of concerned county residents to seek new members for the association, Gary Wente, director of development, has announced. The association serves the deveiopmentally disabled in McHenry county with a variety of programs, including Birth- to-Three child care, residential living, two rehabiliation workshops, and a newly- formed prevention and education program. "Our association's ability to develop services to meet the growing demands of a steadily increasing number of persons seeking assistance depends in part on the public's un­ derstanding of our service and our professional staff," said Wente. "With more people involved as members, we will be able to reach out to the public with information about the many ways association staff mem­ bers provide needed services. We feel we have a respon­ sibility to communicate the needs of the deveiopmentally disabled to civic groups, business and industrial leaders, and professional people." Wente said people from throughout the county, in­ cluding organizations, businesses and industries, are invited to join the assocation. Wente said staff members are available to speak at civic meetings, schools, churches and other places where people gather for a program of in­ formation and enlightenment. Speaking arrangements can be made by contacting Wente at McHenry, 344-1230. Clash With Six Mailboxes Puts Driver In Hospital Timothy P. Hughes, 2713 S. Tower drive, McHenry, was listed in stable condition after a collision with six mailboxes and a tree on River road early Wednesday morning. Hughes said he must have fallen asleep at the wheel. According to the police report, the car left the road and hit the row of mailboxes, and stopped after hitting a large tree. There were no skid marks. Hughes was taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad. Two days earlier, also on River road. Jacquelyn A. Hinga, 723 S. River road, McHenry, was transported to McHenry hospital, but not admitted, after her car left the road and struck a culvert. Ms. Hinga said she could not recall the accident. Evidence at the scene, according to the police report, indicated that the car failed to negotiate a curve in the road, hit the culvert and ended up in a driveway at 1005 S. River road. Ms. Hinga was ticketed for improper lane usage. At the intersection of Rich­ mond road and Washington, an estimated $250 damage was done to both cars involved in a Tuesday afternoon accident. Jane M. Comiskey, Golf, 111., said she was driving north on Richmond road when another car cut in front of her. The driver of the other car, Karen L. Graef, 3913 W. Grand, McHenry, said she stopped at the stop sign and after seeing no traffic, proceeded to make her turn. A witness in the car behind Ms. Comiskey said there was no way for Ms. Comiskey to avoid the accident. * Another witness, who was unloading groceries from his car, said he saw Ms. Comiskey traveling at a high rate of speed, skid into the other car. The witness said he thought Ms. Graef's car was past the center line. Ms. Graef was ticketed for failure to yield the right of way. On June 8, Billy G. Kerney, Wonder Lake, said he was westbound on Elm and as the light at Front street turned green, he looked and proceeded to make a left turn. At the same time, Kenneth L. Thielsen, 723 Rand road, McHenry, said he was heading south on Front, proceeding to turn left onto Elm street when the collision occurred. Thielsen said he was already in the intersection when the light turned red. An estimated $250 damage was done to each car. A collision between a car and a fence on Church road resulted in no injury and no ticket for Philip J. Schneider, 1513 Sunnyside Beach, McHenry. at 12:10 p.m. Tuesday. Schneider had said the wheel caught the edge of the pavement and the car went off the road to the right. The barbed wire fence was damaged and a bush was uprooted in the incident. Susan J. Miller, 1620 S. River road, McHenry, took a spill on her motorcycle when she hit a patch of gravel on Ridge road last Friday morning. Ms. Miller said that there were no signs or barricades when she hit the patch of road, but there were when she returned to the site. Ms. Miller sustained class B injuries, bruises and abrasions, but did not go to the hospital. In what has been, so far, a relatively quiet week for traffic accidents, Steven A. Walker, 115 Rand road, McHenry was not seriously injured and refused to be taken to a hospital after a hit-and-run accident last Tuesday. Walker said he did not see the car that hit him as he was riding his bicycle across the roadway near the intersection of Route 120 and Darrell road. Walker said that the driver of the car, described as a brown Ford, got out of the car, then got back in and left. Barbara J. Piggott, 1403 May street, McHenry, had an estimated $500 damage done to her car when it was struck in the rear by a flatbed truck, driven by Mark D. Adams, Burlington, Wis. Adams said he was following Ms. Piggott's car and saw it slow. He said he did not see the car signal a left turn from Johnsburg road onto Riverside drive and tried to stop but could not. Adams was ticketed for following too closely. A deer did and estimated $250 or more damage when it ran out in front of a car driven by Charles J. Ellsworth, Wonder Lake. Ellsworth said he did not have time to stop. MCC Sets Tentative Budget At the regular May meeting, a tentative budget for 1979-80 was authorized by the board of trustees of McHenry County college to go on public display. It will be located in the district office in the Main hall building on campus. The tentative budget represents the college's educational plan for the 1979-80 fiscal year as it relates to both educational and community service commitments to district residents. The college is funded by state and federal resources, real estate taxes and tuition. The board also appointed Wight and Company, Inc., Downers Grove, for the pur­ pose of completing the preliminary planning and cost estimating for a third building on the MCC campus. Joe Walter of McHenry was sworn in as student trustee alternate by board chairman, Gerald Smith. The regular June meeting will be held June 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the board room on campus. City Police Conservation Plan TURN ONS The City of McHenry Police department has instituted a new plan to conserve an estimated 1.800 gallons of gasoline a year, enough to fill about 90 cars. Under the new plan, those officers going off duty would pick up the officers coming on duty so that they would not have to drive to work. The officers coming on duty, would then take the off duty officers home, or wherever. McHenry Police Chief said that as long as the patrol cars were out anvway, the depart­ ment would, in a conservative estimate, save about ?5 gallons of gasoline each week. Keeping the Sauce? If you make a bunch of spaghetti sauce and want to keep some for another day, here's how: Fill clean jars, leaving about two inches of head space and cap the jars. If the sauce is still hot, let the jars cool before placing them in the freezer. Does the president plan a change in domestic and foreign policy? He plans to inject more teeth and sympathy into everything.
