PAGE 16 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7,1M1 I: PLAN FOR "RESCUE 50" , (Continued from page 1) Last year over 19,000 was realized for the local rescue squads and the clubs are hoping for a larger amount this year. Those who haven't contributed to date are urged to contact one of the particpating clubs or call 385*9448, or 653-8262 for further information. " Clubs participating besides the Harmony. Snowmobile1 club are the Wonder Lake Lakers, Snow Bugs, Snowballers, Snow Trackers of Har­ mony and the Moose Sno-birds. MUSIN' AND _ MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) hire them if they had to be paid the mimimum wage. We are told this system is in effect in most European countries, providing initial employment for millions of young people or others who have no special skills and must learn on the job. However, it is strongly opposed by American labor unions who fear it will v work to the disadvantage of employees. But business strongly supports the system. Since the minimum wage rise in January to $3.35, the contention of business is that many youngsters with no skill or training won't easily find employment. Business feels the lower youth wage of pershaps $2.75 or $2.50, would help minority youth more than anyone else. Some feel certain that since the youth wage proposal was defeated by such a narrow margin in 1977, a system will be enacted by the present Congress. Maybe it's time to give the system a try. Not everyone is worth $3.35 an jjU hour. Many who join the work force £ today are unskilled and uneducated and I* badly need apprentice training. *2 For this reason a trial youth wage •J system may be in the public interest at fa a time when we are faced with the necessity to increase production to 3 remain competetive. KAF | SEEK TO MONITOR 1 EDUCATION FUNDING I I* (Continued from page 1) V informing the public. % Dr. Andreas, superintendent, told Mrs. Halverson that the committee was £ "right" on their thinking and "we have tv, sent letters to legislatures" for the same reasons. He commented that District 12 would become more •- involved in the future. No formal decision was made. § Dr. Andreas said that he was pleased N with the Parent-Teacher conferences ^ held in November, "We had an £ excellent response from parents. They continue to give us a boost and the * teachers did an exceptionally good & job," he oommented. S, The administration and board had a ft lengthy discussion on how and to whom S an opinion poll concerning budget cuts on educational programs and services should be given. Jim Preston, board secretary, felt that surveying the voters was predictable - back to "reading, writing and arithmetic." Dr. Andreas and staff members were interested in parent views and felt a survey would inform voters with and without students in school about the programs. The general public doesn't realize that "school isn't like it was in the 50s", Dr. Andreas said. "Much is mandated by law". The next several months will be devoted to gathering information from students, parents, teachers, employees;' voters, PTO, and administrators to help guide the board through budget cut procedures next spring. Rita Winter, PTO representative, presented a plan for a proposed bicycle path through adjoining property to Sunnyside. The path would be used by students for safer travel to and from school as well as summer recreation. Joggers and cross country runners may also find the path useful. Board membert Steve Webel, and Dr. Andreas volunteered to help facilitate a cooperative effort with the community to find out what can be done. It was suggested that Sunnyside's Mayor Truckenbrod may be able to secure Revenue Sharing funds to aid in the bicycle path project. Dr. Ken Falkinham, -business manager, disclosed a large increase in the replacement cost of appliances for the home economics department. He said that last year's bill was $560 and this year it was almost double. The applicances have increased almost $100 each. The board felt they needed to look at the present replacement program. They believe replacement could be costing more in the future and many appliances could be used for a longer period of time. Dr. Falkinham reported that 96 percent of the tax monies are in. A total of $235,000 has been invested at 17-18 percent interest. The board moved to file a tax levy in the amount of $2,140,000. MAN ROBBED WHILE AT WORK (Continued from page 1) the forehead, by another employee working at Terra Cotta Truck service, 4712 Amway drive, Crystal Lake. The other employee, LeRoy Altergott, of 1517 N. Ramble road, McHenry, told County police that Brabant, a mechanic, had gone to check the oil in a number of trucks at the establishment. When Altergott went to ask Brabant for something to light a torch, he found Brabant lying on the ground. Brabant's wallet was missing, but a chain that once secured it to his belt was still in place. * A board found near Brabant is believed to have been the weapon used to inflict the injury. The Crystal Lake Resue squad took Brabant to Memorial hospital in Woodstock for treatment. The Detective division of the Sheriffs police is investigating the incident. School Aid Seminar h The Parent Advisory group at West campus will present a Financial Aid seminar Wednesday, Jan. 7, at 7:30 p.m. in Room 210-211 at West cainpus. Dennis Wentworth, coordinator of Financial Aid at McHenry County college, will explain the financial aid and loan programs available in financing post high school education. Illinois State Scholarship Commission (ISSC) programs, Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG) and other federal funding programs, Family Financial Statement (FFS), Financial Aid Form (FAF), National Direct Student Loans (NDSL), and other sources of financing will be explained, discussed, and open for questions. This program should be of prime interest to seniors and their parents currently immersed in filling out many of these forms. However, due to the complexity and costs involved in financing further education, all parents of students in the school are encouraged to attend. Refreshments will be served.

This old song ana w presents a lovely romantic picture of snow, and to manv people- especially children-the snow is "a beautiful sight." To many people, children and adults, snow also means fun, building snowmen, sledding and tobogganing. Participating in these snow sports can, however, cause injuries, even death. Nearly 40,000 Americans are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year for injuries associated with sledding. The Illinois Department of Public Health has some safety tips for you that will enable you to enjoy the snowy weather and, at the same time, cut down your chances of serious injury. For example, a sled, toboggan or snow disc should be cnecked frequently for: 1. Split or splintered wood and metal parts bent out of shape. 2. Sharp, jagged edges and protruding rivets. Condition of the protective guard or bumper over the metal front bar to revent cuts and other njuries in a collision. 4. Easy steering without jamming. 5. Sharp-edged hooks on aids of runners. 6. Secure handholds and a (dace to tie on a rope. When using your sled: T. Walk over your sliding territory before using it; look for bumps, tree stumps, boulders, ice and bare spots. If you can't remove or repair these spots, avoid that part of the slope. 2. Supervise children who are inexperienced in using this kind of snow equipment. can appear suddenly 'out of nowhere'. 6. Hold or tie ropes on the top of your sled or snow disc to keep the ropes from slipping underneath and causing an abrupt stop. 7. Don't slide until the slope is clear of nearby sliaers. ' 8. Move off busy slopes' quickly when you reach the bottom, to prevent collision with other sliders. 9. Walk back up the slope along a side path out of the way of those coming down. 10. Never tie your sled to the back of your car. When the automobile stops, the Cancer Society Plans Three Major Events moving sled can eaauy slide under the car, causing serious injury to the person riding the sled. The state health department says that, if you follow these safety tips, you will be able to enjoy your winter sports more by lessening your chances of serious injury.

Meanwhile... happy sledding! F o l l o w i n g i t s reorganization meeting last month, the board of direc­ tors of the McHenry county unit of the American Cancer society is planning three major events for the first half of 1961.

Breathing Club Opens At McHenry Hospital Pr MEMORABILIA On behalf of the state, Gov. Thompson accepted from Joseph M. Jacobs a 1,000- item memorablilia collec­ tion from the 1952 and 1956 presidential campaigns of the late Adlai E. Stevenson. The collection was amassed by Jacobs, a Chicago labor lawyer for 50 years, during and since the campaigns and includes many one-of-a-kind items. It was turned over to the Illinois State Historical library. 1 . The American Lung assocition of DuPage and McHenry . counties, in cooperation with the McHenry Hospital Outreach department, is forming a new health awareness group for people afflicted with lung diseases. The breathing club called "PAL" (Problems Affecting Lungs) will meet monthly at McHenry hospital. Ken Bird, Crystal Lake, board member for the Lung association and Outreach department said, "PAL" will be designed to meet the needs of its members by covering such topics as medications, allergies, breathing exercises, care of breathing equipment, diet and stress."

They The average age for Vietnam Era veterans is now 33.6, a recently published statistical profile of the nine million men and women in service at that time reports. V A r e a d j u s t m e n t programs and opher benefits for this youngest group of veterans has amounted to more than 851 billion, with $35.2 billion going for benefits. • Donald Ramsey, director of the Veterans ad­ ministration regional office in Chicago, said that 65 percent of Vietnam veterans used their educational benefits as compared with 50 percent after World War II and 43.4 percent after the Korean Conflict. "Because Vietnam era veterans are the best educated group of veterans in the nation's history, they have used the GI Bill for college m6re than the total of W.W. II and Korea com­ bined." Ramsey said. Compensation and pension payments comprise the second largest VA ex­ penditure to Vietnam Era veterans. The report shows that 13.9 percent of the VA hospital census is comprised of Vietnam Era veterans. Ramsey said there are 436,000 Vietnam era veterans in Illinois, 115,000 of whom served in Vietnam. Illinois has the fifth largest state total in the nation. • • • • Schedules are made to remind you how far be- hind you are in your work.
