DATES TO REMEMBER Dec. 15 -- 7 p.m., village hall, committee meetings for Finance, Water and Sewers, Ordinance and License "Star Of Wonder" Opens Season The Star of Bethlehem is shining once again at the Adler Planetarium, where the traditional holiday Sky show will be presented through Jan 5. A perennial favorite with audiences of all ages, "Star of Wonder" is a modern scientific detective story As the story unfolds, the audience joins in the search to understand the mystery of the Christmas Star which led the three Wise Men to the manger in Bethlehem. Even though the holiday Sky show at the Adler Planetarium has always been about the Star of Bethlehem, the show is not exactly the same from year to year. As discoveries are made in the field of astronomy, the new concepts artd information are used to revise an update the ideas about the true nature of the Star of Bethlehem that are presented in the Sky show. Beginning with clues from the writings of Roman historians and the Bible, the detectives first attempt to pinpoint the actual date of Christ's birth. They are able to narrow down the possible date to sometime between 8 B.C. and 1 A.D. Then, their task is to deterr"'"0 wh?,' of celestial event which is known to have occurred during that period could the Wise Men have seen as the Christmas Star. Meteors, comets, novae, super novae and a con­ junction of planets are all evaluated as the celestial event which could have been the Star of Bethlehem. Each possibility is con­ sidered and each in turn is created on the dome of the Sky theatre so the audience can see it as it would have appeared to the Wise Men 2,000 years ago. Shows are 2 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 2 and 8 p.m. Fridays and at 11 a.m., 1, 2, 3, and 4 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Starting Thursday, Dec. 24, the holiday schedule will be in effect and shows will be at 11 a.m., 1,2,3, and 4 p.m. through Friday, Jan. 1 The Planetarium will be closed on Christmas day. For further information on special group showings call 322-0329. Members and senior citizens are admitted free to Sky shows. Admission to the Planetarium is free. The Adler Planetarium is located at 1300 South Lake Shore drive.

Stay indoors during winter storms unless absolutely necessary. If you must go out, avoid overexertion. Cold weather itself puts an added strain on the heart. If you add to this exercise you are not accustomed to, such as shoveling snow, pushing an automobile, or even walking too fast or too far, you risk heart attack, stroke, or other physical damage. If you must go outdoors, wear loose-fitting, light­ weight warm clothing in several layers rather than a single layer of thick clothing. Entrapped insulating air warmed by body heat is the best protection against the cold. The layers can be removed as needed to prevent perspiring and subsequent chills. Outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellant. Wear a wool hat. The body loses between half and three- quarters of its heat through the head. Wear mittens instead of gloves-they allow your fingers to move freely in contact with one another and will keep your hands much warmer. Keep your clothes dry. Wet clothing loses all insulating value. Change wet socks and all other wet clothing as quickly as possible to prevent loss of body heat. Watch for frostbite and other symptoms of cold- weather exposure. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and a white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, top of nose, ear lobes. If such symptoms are detected, get medical attention im­ mediately. Do not rub with snow or ice-this does not help the condition and, in fact, will make it worse. When the body begins to lose heat faster than it can produce it, a condition called hypothermia begins to develop. Symptoms include: uncontrollable shivering, slurred speech, and in­ coherence, stujnbling, drowsiness, and exhaustion. If a person shows any signs of overexposure, take the following measures- even if they claim to be in no difficulty: Get the person into dry clothing and a warm bed or sleeping bag. Use a "hot" water bottle (which should actually be only warm to the touch, not hot), warm towels, heating pad, or some other such heat source. Concentrate heat on the trunk of the body first-that is, the shoulders, chest and stomach. Keep the head low and the feet up to get warm blood circulating to the head. Give the person warm drinks and keep them quiet. Do not massage or rub. Never give a l c o h o l , s e d a t i v e s , tranquilizers or pain relievers-they only slow down the body processes even more. If symptoms are extreme, call for professional medical assistance immediately. The chairman has requested McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency to make available additional in­ formation on winter safety. This information may be obtained at the McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency office at 2200 N. Seminary avenue, Woodstock, or by telephoning 815-338-6400.
