Illinois unem ployment climbed almost a full percentage point even though the U.S. rate inched downward; retail sales were reported sluggish compared to usual holiday buying patterns; and state govern ment revenues continued to reflect reduced state economic activity. The December Illinois unemployment rate was 9.4 percent, compared to a November rate of 8.6 per cent The U.S. rate for December was 7.4 percent, a drop of one-tenth-of-one- percent from the 7.5 percent November rate. Rockford, with an .unemployment rate of 13 0 percent for November, was the hardest hit of Illinois' eight standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSAs), replacing Decatur which had held the dubious distinction for several consecutive months. The Decatur rate for November was 11.0 percent Bloomington reported a November unemployment rate of 6.1 percent; Cham jign reported 5.3 percent; licago reported 7.6 per cent; the Quad Cities reported 7.3 percent; Peoria reported 8.4 percent; and Springfield reported 6 4 percent.

Officials of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA), don't expect a significant upturn in Illinois employment rates »until about the middle of the year at the earliest. "Illinois is slow in reacting to an economic downturn," Wally Bierman, chief of DCCA research, said, "and will be just as slow in reacting to an economic upturn if one is beginning to occur at the moment as some of the more optimistic economists are suggesting." Manufacturing em ployment in Illinois im proved in November. The month's - 3.6 percent rate was significantly below the previous month's - 4.9 rate. The U.S. manufacturing employment rate also im proved slightly in Novem ber, moving from -3.6 to -3.0 percent. Illinois construction starts were off by 15 percent in November, while total U.S. construction starts were up 13 percent compared to one year ago. Illinois residential construction remained steady; non-residential starts dropped by $5 million compared to the previous month; and non-building starts climbed by $37 million over October. Individual state economies are linked closely to the total U S. economy and, Illinois has historically registered a turnaround from economic difficulties about six months after a nationwide tur naround had begun. Con sequently, significant positive changes in the state economy may not become apparent until later in 1961. The U.S. economy is ex pected to finally break out of disastrous patterns around °the middle of 1981. Basic inflation should be down to 8.5 percent by mid- 1982, according to some analyses;unemployment will hold at about 8.0 percent; and the U.S. business sector will show a profit tur naround. \ Observe 25th Anniversary ARUN NARANG, M.D. Arun Narang, M.D., has been notified by the American Board of Internal Medicine that he has passed its specialty certification examinations and is now a Diplomate of the board.

Don't neglect your home in the letdown that follows the flurry of holiday happenings. Can you answer "yea" to the following questions? Is your homeowner's in surance up to date? Remember, inflation has increased the worth of your home and its furnishings. Is your home address clearly visible from the street? Make sure that ice, snow or age haven't dimmed the numbers on your home. The local fire department may be tragically delayed responding your call if they have difficulty locating your home.

The hydrant is the direct connection between your home and what the Are department can do for it, if necessary. Without easy access to the hydrant, firemen virtually are helpless to save your home. Don't let this im portant lifesaving device be snuffed out under winter's deposits or choked by weeds. J Aire the streets in front of your home, alley and driveway open to emergency vehicles? Firemen, doctors, etc., have to tr ya the scene to do their work, but if snow drifts, snow-locked cars or chronic double parking impedes their way, they can't begin to solve your problems when seconds count. If Santa Clausibrought your home a major appliance such as a washer, dryer, dishwasher or color television, have you made sure your home's wiring can take the added strain? If not, have an electrician check to make sure the gift is not too "hot" for your home to handle. / . . . • ; Are your home's "noses" clean? Take 10 minutes tonight to test smoke detectors. Follow the manufacturer's directions for the examination. The minimal upkeep these devices require is paid back in full should fire strike.

After I moved into my apartment, I installed a ceiling fan where a light fixture had been. It was a simple installation, since all the wiring and connections were already in place. I'm now planning to move and my landlord claims that I can't take the fan with me. Don't I have a right to my property? A. Yes, if your rent is paid up and you have otherwise complied with your lease or other rental agreement. The ceiling fan is a removable fixture which remains in your possession.
