In the begin­ ning, first aid was a simple technique compared to the modern, sophisticated, expensive and time con­ suming methods the public has grown to expect In the past, active members were able to find the time required to handle all of the rescue squads necessary functions and still give the best care available. Now the call for help comes from the Johnsburg Rescue squad. This organization has grown so complex that the members have difficulty finding the time to deal With the ever increasing pressures of fund raising to keep themselves adequately financed in this time of high inflation. A new appendage organization is now being formed to help them meet their financial needs for the future. An auxiliary has been formed of private citizens who wish to donate some free time so as to in­ sure the continued success of this rescue squad. Anyone interested in donating 10 hours per year to do clerical or janitorial or fund-raising work, is asked to contact one of the people listed below. No one will be asked to donate more than 10 hours of their time per year. Of course, the squad will be happy to make adjustments either way to suit requirements. Many small jobs can be handled by the auxiliary to relieve the active squad members' duties. This is an excellent rescue squad, and no tax money has yet been received. The squad wants to keep it that way. Members encourage the public to be a perfect "10" by giving 10 hours of time each year. Interested persons should -submit their names and phone numbers and type of work they wish to par­ ticipate in. To become a perfect "10", they should contact Thomas W. Fowler, 2008 W. Church street, after 7 p.m., or Richard Zalke, 385- 0932, Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. A neighboring town found it necessary to put its rescue squad on the tax rolls because donations were not adequate. If this should become necessary it would not be unusual to find an additional charge of ap­ proximately $75 per year on the tax bills plus a service charge of around $40 per ambulance ride for residents and $80 for non-residents and the squad members would be paid for their services. It was a sunny and warm Thursday afternoon as approximately 80 residents of the Valley Hi nursing home, on Hartland road just northwest of Woodstock, enjoyed fresh cooked chicken with all the trimmings. The picnic is an annual event sponsored by the Rotary Club of McHenry. According to James Pay ton, of the McHenry Rotary, the group puts on this program once a year to "bring a little happiness" to the residents of the nursing home. Many of the residents spoken to expressed those sen­ timents saying that they looked forward very much to the picnic, which has been sponsored Jby the Rotary club for more than 15 years. To round out the meal, the residents enjoyed a baked potatoe, salad, roll and cake for dessert. A wide range of soda, beer and coffee were offered as liquid refreshments for the meal The Rotarians and nursing home staf­ fers served the residents, who were seated at tables on the lawn of the home. White meat or dark, bones or no - the meals were prepared to the delight or needs of each person. The afternoon picnic was highlighted by a visit from Representative Lynn Martin, of the 16th U.S. Congressional district, which includes McHenry county. The congresswoman spoke with many of the residents, the Rotarians and the director of the nursing home, William Morefield. The photo to the left is of Mrs. Martin speaking with one of the residents of the Valley Hi nursing home. Above left, four residents of the nursing home receive their meals on the lawn. The photo, above right, shows a number of Rotarians preparing food at long tables which were situated near the grills. Payton commented that this was one the lesser known community service projects undertaken by the Rotary club every year. STORY & PHOTOS BY ANTHONY OLIVER Prenatal Reimbursement Program Makes Headway BUDDY'S WORKSHOP Roof Repair Job for Professional Four years ago, I needed a new roof badly and let someone talk me into "saving money" by covering the old shingles with plywood to support new roofing tile. Now, there are humpt in the roof. I'm told the plywood has pulled loose because the roof­ ing nails used were too short. I'm slso told that I can fix it myself. Is it a difficult job? Repairs will involve removing and replacing tiles, a task which should be performed by a professional or experienced roofer- most likely not yourself, nor the person who installed your new roof four years ago. My basement windows are at ground level and it is nearly impossible to keep them clean. Every time there is a heavy rain, the windows are splattered with dirt and mud. Is there some way to stop or minimize this problem? Dig out a few inches of soil in front of the windows and install an equivalent amount of clean gravel. This not only stops dirt; it provides better drainage during storm events. for •vwyon* who's ovor askod ... ARE YOU MY WAITRESS? The Parental Reim­ bursement program at the Department of Court Ser­ vices completes its first year in September. It was developed as a means to learn the financial ability of parents with a child in a McHenry county funded program or placement. Under the leadership of Family Court Judge Haskell M Pitluck, the program has achieved success at instilling greater parental involvement and responsibility in the progress of their troubled youth. This financial relief from the responsible parent has greatly reduced the burden on McHenry county and has avoided the need for the County board to propose a Child Welfare tax to its residents. • On Oct. 14. the Illinois Probation and Court Ser vices association will con- "vene for its annual meeti.ig at the Clock Tower Inn in Kockford During this meeting, the design of the program will be shared with other social agencies and probation departments from across the State of Illinois. An attempt will be made to instill interest in the con­ cepts of the program. The program has shown that besides generating ad­ ditional funds for the county, families are finding the necessary push to becoming involved at resolving their differences v< WE'fcf COM IN' 6ACKl" A Comeback Bison, often called the Ameri­ can buffalo, have made a suc­ cessful comcback from near ex­ tinction in the late 1800s when their numbers dwindled from millions to fewer than 50 in the United States.
