DeAngelis said that if a teller were to question such a withdrawal, the effect would be to confirm in the target's mind that the teller, is, indeed, a crook. The target would hand the money over to the "bank examiner" who would never be seen again! This seminar was the first of two which were sponsored by the McHenry Police Officers' association and the McHenry Chamber of Commerce. The next seminar is aimed at retail store employees and will be held Nov. 15. AUTHORS IN THE MAKING (Continued from page 1) the creative writing process, she did not then ana does not now, lose sight of a primary educational doctrine' "I check all the spelling in each and every book". The final steps in the processing of the "Home Made Books" was to put an actual library card with pocket into each cover so it could be lent like any other library book. > After the initial success of the program with the third grade students, Ms. Mullen's "Home Made Books" began to snowball. Students, while attending the Learning center and checking out these special editions, decided that they too would like to "publish". So their instructor began receiving gift books from authors throughout the school. She even was given a group of books from the Johnsburg Junior high school. These older students who donated their work remembered Ms. Mullen's literary program and volunteered a class writing project. As these additional books came into the learning center for her to display in the separate little rack with the green and white sign annoucning "Home Made Books", Ms. Mullen evolved as a publisher. She discarded the original stapling system for a more efficient binding • a zigzag machine stitching. Then she began to laminate the books to withstand the rigorous pressures of being a library book. So, today, the new student-written books are given a more sophisticated finish than their earlier counterparts. 1 Ms. Mullen's love of teaching and reading are important factors in her continual publishing en terprise but she feels that heritage plays the most paramount part in the popularity of these books. "Just yesterday, she said, "a little girt came into the learning center asking for books which her two older brothers had written". This experience, according to Ms. Mullen, is- a common oc currence and one that is exciting for both the children and their instructors. "It gets the children back to reading" explained the Learning Center teacher. "The pride and the sharing which evolves in writing at an early age is important but having others read that writing makes it even more worthwhile, especially if it happeps to be a younger brother or sister", she concluded. Harry May, principal of James C. Bush, also feels that "Home Made Books" have value as a learning experience.

He also noted that the young authors develop new skills beyond just learning to organize and write a story. "In some cases, he ex plained, "children write the story and then ask one of their fellow students who might be more artistically gifted to do the illustrations." This is valuable according to May because the children have to evaluate skills to select an illustrator and then make a cooperative effort to develop the finished product. Children's Book week, which is Nov. 12 through 18, will be a time when students will be asked to increase their reading. The chances are, though, that if you ask a student from James C. Bush if he had read any good books lately, his reply might not only be affirmative but Ae just might add that he has also written and published a book. FOOD PRICES GO UP, UP, UP! (Continued from page 1) showed a slight to healthy, drop in prices. The meat category dropped 1.9 percent from July, while the produce category showed an im pressive 3.8 percent drop. In the produce section of the grocery store, carrots and tomatoes showed per centage decreases in prices of 35 and 17.7, respectively. Carrots, in July, were $.40 per pound and tomatoes were $.79. In September, carrots dropped to $.26 per pound on the average and tomatoes went to $.65. In the meat cooler, hot dogs, pork loin rib chops, sirloin steak and pork loin sirloin roast all showed. decreases ranging from 4 percent to 12.9 percent And now for the bad. news, also in the meat cooler, pot roast (chuck arm) jumped, from a July price vOf $148 per pound to $1.82-41 gain of 22.9 percent. Smoked ham center dice climbed to an ^averagex of $2.09 per pmmd-lO.S percent over July's price of $1.89. Other gains in the meat cooler stayed near the 4 percent mark. I n . t h e m i s c e l l a n e o u s category, coffee jumped up 24 percent, from a July price of $5.38 for a two-pound can, to $6.68 in September. The average price for a five- pound bag of flour went tip 11.5 percent, from $.95 to $106. The milk products category remained almost the same as July, with two notable exceptions. Butter recorded a $.10 jump in price from $1.57 per pound in July, to $1.67 in September for a net increase of 6.3 percent. The other was a small in crease in the price of a gallon of milk, from $1.87 to $1.92, or 2.6 percent. For McHenry shoppers though, the really bad news is the overall increase in the cost of eating. Since January, prices in the produce section have risen 10.7 percent; in the miscellaneous category, io.4 percent; in the meat cooler, 9.3 percent; in the bread basket, 7.1 percent and in the milk cooler, 5.7 percent.

Doctors familiar with the danger to health associated with smoking are making public appearances this week to discuss how cutting back or cutting out smoking reduces the chances of lung cancer and other diseases attributed to smoking. In addition to Egelston, board members elected these officers: Dr. Robert K e s s l e r , M c H e n r y , president; Ron Graves, McHenry, treasurer; and Betty Freeman, Cary, secretary. Egelston suc ceeds Eustice Klein, Har vard, as chairman, a position Eustice held since 1974. Mrs. Ilavern Gregory, McHenry, veteran board member who also serves on the Illinois Cancer society board, reported additional equipment for cancer vic tims and their families is now available ait Harvard. Mrs. Gregory stressed that the American Cancer society's research and public information program are focusing on areas of concern beyond lung cancer. "The American Cancer society points out that more than half of all cancer cases and cancer deaths involve - cancers of the breast, colon- I rectum, lung, uterus, skin and oral region." • • . j, • In addition, the ACS is stressing the importance of its goals to improve the quality of survival of cancer patients. "Just surviving" cancer is not enough, and through special programs to assist people, the ACS and its army of volunteers across the United States do improve life for victims of cancer. Examples are the Reach to Recovery program for women who have had breast surgery; the International Association of Laryngec tomees to help people who have lost their voice boxes because of cancer ; and the United Ostomy association, supported by the ACS, which helps people who had surgery for cancer of the colon, rectum or bladder. "Volunteers and trained professionals assist people in o v e r c o m i n g t h e psychological and physical hurdles so they can regain more nearly normal lives," explained Mrs. Gregory. "Because lung cancer is one of the rtiost difficult forms of cancer to conquer, I enthusiastically support the idea of a one-day moratorium on smoking this week. I'm hopeful it can lead to some people taking the first step that ends with quitting," she concluded.

While it is true that simply trying to "forget" about problems does not cure the symptoms of depression, complete isolation can and does add to the depth of a depression. When a person is truly depressed (as opposed to "feeling down" or being sad), there is usually a feeling of lethargy and lack of interest. It is easy to succumb to the temptation of completely isolating oneself, neglecting work, household chores, shopping and en tertainment activities. Many depressed people can sleep ten, twelve, or even fourteen hours every day. To someone who has never felt depressed, it is in c o m p r e h e n s i b l e w h y someone who is depressed is not willing to force himself to get up and get out of the house. To the depressed person, however, the smallest activity seems monumental in the extreme. Previous activities that were enjoyable seem useless and .ggQj! ^illonden/aUe STATE BANK WONDER LAKE, ILL. 60097 LOBBY HOURS 9am - 3pm 9am - 3pm Lobby Closed 9am - 3pm 9am - 8pm 9am - 12 Noon "Your Community Bank Serving You" •CHECKING •SAVINGS •LOANS .. .Pins the convenience that only a Community Bank can offer -BANKING HOURS Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday DRIVE-UP & HOURS 8am - 8pm 8am - 8pm 8am - 8pm 8am - 8pm 8am - 8pm 8am - 3pm inane. The desire to retreat into oneself seems over whelming. Ironically enough, there is evidence to suggest that people who urge depressed people to "get out and do something", have a valid point. Performing normal activities, such as shopping, going to work, doing housework or yard work, does have a therapeutic effect in that it uses physical rather than emotional energy and serves to distract the depressed person from t h e p a t h o l o g i c a l i n trospection. It is up to the depressed persons to "force" them selves to perform these activities, not waiting for the urging or nagging of relatives or friends. Although the activities seem overwhelming, it is always possible to participate a little, and it never deepens the depression. It can only help. Resuming everyday activities is an important aspect of any therapy dealing with depression. Foil Service Banking Available How in Member FDIC & • v«,« 7; (815) ARE YOU MOVING?
