Admission to the Expo is free. The hours are from noon to 9 p.m. Lunch, dinner and snacks may be purchased bv visitors in the MCC cafeteria adjoining the exhibit. Crash Cushion A low-cost crash cushion to protect passengers in cars that strike highway construction ob­ stacles has passed full-scale im­ pact tests. Engineers at the Tex­ as Transportation Institute de­ veloped the portable cushion that collapses like an accordion when hit head-on by a car, reducing the risk ot injury to o&upants of the automobile. W.J. Nye Named To Pharmacists Board "It was incredible and beautiful. I'd do it again if I could because everyone was fantastic, and the whole experience was so en­ joyable." Marilyn Georgy, a Crystal Lake "mother of three, spoke glowingly of her recent experience when her husband Paul joined her for the first father-attended cesarean delivery at McHenry hospital. Paul and Marilyn, who are also the parents of John, 4, and Steven, 2Vfe, requested this procedure when they learned McHenry hospital had approved father- attended cesareans, and they began to gather in­ formation on any requirements they might have to meet in order to be considered eligible can­ didates. "I knew the sight of blood wouldn't bother me, and we both felt we wanted to be in this delivery together," Paul said. "It just didn't make sense not to have him there. My first two deliveries were also cesarean, and they were pretty frightening, only because you feel so alone. You're wheeled away, and there's some stranger in a mask to help you, and you wake up and that's that," Marilyn added. . jflriv this time, that was noFtne scenario. "Paul got to hold Laura soon after she was born, and I was able to stroke her cheeks" she said. "I'd had a spinal, and so I was able to watch the whole operation through a ceiling mirror; it was almost like watching television." The Georgys began ex­ ploring the possibilities of this procedure by talking to her obstetrician, Dr. G. Sherman Porter, to the baby's pediatrician, Dr. Gary Oberg, and to the anesthesiologist, Dr. R. Alan Van Atta. All physicians involved in the surgery must agree to the parents as suitable candidates for this and the father is required by state law to attend a preparation session in order to be present in the surgical suite. Janet Smith, a local pre­ natal instructor, has developed a special Lamaze class for parents planning for father-attended cesarean deliveries. So far she has instructed 85 couples who have used this procedure in six area hospitals. Currently there are 21 hospitals in the state of Illinois that approve WEST BEND wh*r« craftsman stitt care automatic humidifier "L We haw in stock aost Repair Parts Including: HKSOVM LNOS •nun Kin HMTEIIHA1MEMT «MC10HA TKA1MXT •fllHFMELS •WATER WHEELS Lee & Hay Electric 1005 N.

"Some of the fathers are very hesitant, very nervous about witnessing the actual surgery," Ms. Smith said "They come back to talk at meetings of other prospective parents, and they are euphoric. They can't stop talking about it." There is a film of an actual cesarean delivery which is optional viewing for parents in the course for cesarean childbirth. "In my opiqion, all fathers should be required to see this movie," said Paul Georgy. MI felt well-prepared because I've performed cesareans on cattle, and I knew what to expect, but the movie was an eye-opener even for me." Dr. Oberg said that the Georgys were a unique cotlple as far as candidates for this procedure are concerned. He does not believe that every couple would be able to cope as well, and that while there are certain criteria any prospective parents should meet for father-attended cesareans, each case must be considered strictly on an individual basis. Dr. Porter echoed this view, "There are definite hurdles for each couple to pass, and of courts, this must be an elective repeat c- section. There art many variables involved, but there's no question that there is a tremendous emotional investment in the birth experience daring this procedure." Once the parents, are in­ terviewed by all attending physicians for the delivery, they can take the riaecial course with Janet Smith and the father can fimctiU) as a co-worker during^ the delivery, helping the mother all the way.

Such a stain actually dyes (he wood fibers. preserves the wood, accents the grain with lasting colors and produces a durable finish. In a stain finish when the oil and the pig­ ment separate from each other, the result is rapid fading of the color, powdering and the early disintegration of the stain. Cabot's #0120 Brand X I> Cabot's versus Brand X The brushouts shown here demonstrate on paper the performance of a stain on wood. This test shows two oil-base stains sold for the same purposes: one is Cabot's #0120 Tile Red; the other, a competitive stain of similar color, iden­ tified as Brand X. The degree of penetration The following points should be noted: 1. The ring of clear oil around the Brand X brushout shows that the oil has separated from the pigment. 2. Cabot's Stain #0120 has penetrated right through the paper, the oil and the pigment Staying together as one homogeneous red liquid -- thus assuring lasting color, deep penetration, no cracking, peeling or blistering and good durability of the stain finish. 3. With Brand X, the oil and the pigment have separated; the oil penetrated through the paper but the pigment was left on the surface which wo»ld result in early fading of the color, powdering of the pigment and early disinte­ gration of the finish. The penetration and the homogenizing of the oil and the pigment in the colloidal Cabot Stain demonstrate conclusively that in addi­ tion to being the original Stain, it is still the best Stain.
