WOMAN'S CLUB AUCTION Since attending auctions has become almost a hobby for some people, and cer­ tainly a fun way to spend an afternoon, the Woman's club of Wonder Lake has decided to sponsor an auction to raise money for their Scholarship fund. It will be held Sunday, May 4, at 7517 Howe drive. A well-known auctioneer from our area, has donated his services for the day. If you are doing your Spring housecleaning and come across some household items that you might have become tired of, don't throw them away! Any con­ tributions to the auction will be greatly appreciated. SPAGHETTI DINNER An annual event that always attracts a large following is the Greenwood school Spaghetti din^ej?. This year the date to mark on your calendar is Friday, April 18. This is the only fund raiser the Greenwood Community Teacher Organization (CTO) holds during the school year. It supplies them with funds to do such things as hold a New Parents Coffee in the Fall, with sweet rolls and coffee; a Senior Citizen Christmas program, with cookies and coffee; and this year, to put $200 into an Activity fund" so the teachers could purchase little extras for their classes. The Learning Center director used her money to buy doughnut holes for groups who had read a story abdut doughnut making. Another teacher purchased material to make curtains for her basement classroom. The children voted on the choice of material and all helped to make the curtains. Another thing the CTO did this year, was purchase a Camera for school use. Besides the dinner served in the gym, children will be able to participate in a Cake Walk, While parents will be entertained in the Learning Center by some of the talented Greenwood parents. Philadelphia pretzels will again be available and the buttoh machine will be in operation. CO.

In order to balance the budget, President Carter is proposing a tax cut in the following areas: 1) Revenue Sharing 2) Transportation 3) CETA, VISTA, Green Thumb • How will this affect senior citizens? A. (1) Revenue sharing, in many instances, provides matching funds for. senior centers, nutrition sites, transportation, volunteer programs, and alcoholic preventative programs for seniors. A cutback on these monies would create a serious budget deficit in these areas. * Revenue sharing also provides matching funds for Title XX, which includes many social services such as; homemaker services, chore services, home health programs and in some areas help with home delivered meals. Matching funds are also used for housing projects and health programs for seniors. Revenue sharing monies going to cities assist in providing police and fire protection and sanitation services. (2) Mobility is a major problem for senior citizens. They are highly dependent upon public transportation.

Marian Central Catholic high school's jazz ensemble, which received a first place rating at Whitewater's Jazz festival in February, is giving the public an opportunity to hear its style at a jazz concert planned for March 27 at 7:30 p.m. The ensemble will be playing "American Patrol," "Hayburner," "Serenade in Blue," "Cute," 'String of Pearls," "Night Life," "When I Take My Sugar to Tea," "Blues for an Elm," and "Fly Me to the Moon."

They will be accompanied by the band in "Lonely Street," "St. Louis Blues," and "Persuasion." DeWANE STUDIO PHOTO In April, the Lake County Police Chiefs association and the McHenry County Police Chiefs association, in conjunction with Lake- McHenry Law Enforcement Planning commission,^ will be provided in-service police personnel training in the two-county area. In previous years training had been conducted on a regional basis with" eight counties making up the region, in northern Illinois. In this arrangement, because of the large service area, coordination of effort, timely notification of course p r e s e n t a t i o n j a n d solicitation of individual training needs often suf­ fered. As a result, in May, 1979, the Lake and McHenry Counties Police Chiefs associations first ap­ proached the Lake-McHenry Law Enforcement Planning commission about the oo«?sibilitv of receiving a separate grant to conduct training. After nearly a year of correspondence, meetings and appearances before various governmental bodies, the Illinois Law Enforcement commission approved the grant request. Barbara Drabek-Doyle, executive director of the Lake-McHenry Law En­ forcement Planning com­ mission, explained that "This new arrangement will give the police departments control over the content and scheduling courses as well as the authority to present programs that are relevant to and necessary for ef­ fective law enforcement in this area." > Gene Westergren, chief of police in Marengo, and Mel Wallage of the McHenry County Community college will coordinate training and scheduling in McHenry county. A recent study conducted by the Citizens Crime commission of Philadelphia stated, "A police depart­ ment's effectiveness is determined more by training and utilization of personnel than by overall size." Barbara Drabek-Doyle concluded, "Approval of this grant can only improve law enforcement in this area because training will be controlled and administered by local people in touch with local needs and priorities." Goodwill Visits City The Goodwill Industries truck is scheduled to be in McHenry Friday, March 28, to collect clothing and housewares to use in the e v a l u a t i o n a n d rehabilitation programs. * Those who would like to help Goodwill, but don't know what to do, should call Mrs. Nick (Agnes) Adams, 1007 N. Plymouth lane, McHenry, she will give full information and explain the pickup service schedule. Seventy-eight years ago a Boston minister wanted to help the handicapped and disadvantaged persons toward a fuller life. Rev. Edgar J. Helms founded Goodwill Industries and today it is the leader in the field of vocational rehabilitation. Back in 1902 Goodwill needed and depended upon the support of the area householders, and this is the case in 1980. The response has been such that the agency has been able to serve a million clients every decade. Goodwill helps to improve the quality of life for those who are handicapped by providing counseling, training, employment op­ portunities and job placement assistance. | Senior Hot Line | Cutting back on tran­ sportation denies seniors shopping services in order to purchase food, medicine and trips to and from the doctor's offices. Transportation to and from multiple service senior centers, which provide nutrition, crafts, limited recreation and en­ tertainment, educational programs, assistance in preparing tax reports, circuit breaker applications, emergency energy relief applications, legal services and preventative health services such as; glaucoma tests and blood pressure tests would be seriously limited if revenue sharing were drastically cut. ( 3 ) Elimination of programs such as CETA, VISTA and Green Thumb would curtail a lot of job opportunities for seniors. Over and above that the elimination of those em­ ployees working on city services, regardless of the age, would mean cutting back on many services for seniors as well as the general public. Write the Senior Action Centers at 160 No. LaSalle, Chicago 60601 or 3 West Old Town Mall, Springfield 62701 with questions or concerns about any government agency or program or call statewide: toll free 800-252- 6565.
