STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD United Charities Camp Dedication i United Charities has announced plans to recognize two major gifts to the agency's Camp Algonquin: Donnelley Acres and the McCormick Health Cottage. The dedication ceremony is scheduled for July 21 at 3 p.m. at the agency's llS-acre camp site in Cary. The newly acquired acreage was given in memory of Naomi Don­ nelley. Miss Donnelley, who served on United Charities' board of directors in­ termittently from 1917-1938, spearheaded several fund raising drives for Camp Algonquin during her af­ filiation with the agency. The Donnelley land con­ sists of 57 acres of unspoiled woodland which will house Algonquin's tent unit for advanced campers and will also be used for nature and conservation studies. The McCormick Health Cottage is named for Colonel Robert R. McCormick, former publisher of the Chicago Tribune, and was /built with a grant from the ^McCormick Charitable trust. Colonel McCormick, during his lifetime, had a particular interest in the m a i n t e n a n c e a n d development of facilities for the program of Camp Algonquin. The new, fully-winterized btriraftig features a spacious reception area, treatment and consultation rooms/as well as in-patient-artel staff housing. United Charities is the largest and oldest family service agency in the Midwest, serving over 30,000 each year. Camp nquin offers programs to more than 1,000 campers annually. In addition to camping opportunities, United Charities provides family and financial counseling, services for theli elderly, advocacy and legal aid. OOOOQOaOBOOO Safety Hints By Alan J. Dixon Secretary of Slate It should come as no surprise to anyone that speed is a major cause of many motor vehicle ac­ cidents. Combined with other violations, mechanical failure or error in judgement, it often results in disaster. Maximum and minimum speed limits, designated by Illinois law, were created for the public's safety, but our nation's current fuel shor­ tage gives added impetus'to the 55 m.p.h. maximum limit. Strict enforcement of speed laws by State police serves a two-fold purpose: saving lives and conserving gasoline. You may drive at maximum allowable speed only under proper con­ ditions. Regardless of the limits which may be posted, the law provides that no person shall drive at a speed which is greater than is reasonable and proper with Regard to traffic conditions and the use of the highway, or which endangers the safely of any person or properly. Speed also must be reduced, if necessary for safety, under these con­ ditions: 1) Approaching and crossing an intersection; 2) Approaching and going around a curve; 3) Traveling on a narrow or winding roadway, and 4) Existing hazards due to pedestrians, traffic' weather or road conditions. (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Alan J. Dixon, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111., 62756.) The July meeting of the N o r t h e r n I l l i n o i s Beekeeper's association will be held at Moraine Hills State park near McHenry. T he Sunday, July 20, meeting and picnic continues from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Club members will lecture on topics in beekeeping throughout the day (at noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 6 p.m.) in the nature interpretive center near Lake Defiance in the park. NIB A signs will direct one to the area. Lectures are open lo the public and will include such subjects as: "So you want to .be a Beekeeper", "Beeswax ancTtts uses", "Commercial Beekeeping" and more. Members are asked to bring their own food, drinks, utensils and cookstoves. A large canopy and picnic tables will be provided at the site. There are some bar- beque facilities available, but these are limited. The Northern Illinois Beekeepers association would be most appreciative if members would assist in sharing knowledge and information after the lec­ tures. Beekeepers are also invited to enjoy the many park facilities: nature and biking trails, fishing in the dam area, concessions and playground. Reservations are needed for fishing on Lake Defiance. The park office should be called for information. This promises to be an in*, formative and fun filled day in a beautiful natural en­ vironment for the whole family!
