Easter Seals: Back A Fighter <JoCd L7a/k B.B. Neuchiller, M.D., Woodstock, is shown with Easter Seal Poster Child for M c H e n r y C o u n t y , Kristopher Vaos. at the Easter Seal Therapy center in Woodstock. This year's Easter Seals - those colorful little remin­ ders of the annual spring fund raising campaign - bear the slogan, "Back a Fighter-Give to Easter Seals." They portray a little cirl in a wheelchair, sym­ bolic of the thousands of individuals who are fighting to overcome a disability and achieve independence. B.B. Neuchiller, M.D., Woodstock has been named McHenry county spring campaign chairman for the Easter Seal "Society of McHenry County. A Woodstock resident involved in his community since 1938, Dr. Neuchiller helped found the local society in 1949. A recent nation-wide study of public awareness of volunteer health agencies revealed that nine out of 10 people are familiar with the Easter Seal society. Easter Seals is one of the oldest of the major health agencies - 63 years old to be exact. This reflects a .high degree of stability and reliability to anyone needing high quality rehabilitation services. The Easter Seal society pioneered in identifying the needs and rights of disable^ people and has been fighting prejudice and negative attitudes all these years to help them enjoy full par­ ticipation in community life. The McHenry County society is undergoing ex­ pansion with a Day school for severe and profoundly retarded children slated to start March 2. Easter Seal spring campaign monies are especially critical to help with this endeavor. I n d i v i d u a l s o r organizations wishing to contribute who do not receive their Easter Seals through the mail in early March are urged to contact Easter Seal at 708 Washington, Woodstock, or phone 815-338-1707. E Kl TRUTHSEEKERS MEET Truthseekers in Adoption, a search and support group for adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents or anyone associated with adoption, will meet a 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 16, at the First Congregational church of Crystal Lake.

McHenry can now boast of having a leap year baby, for a 9Vfe pound baby girl was born to Mr. and Mrs. Ben Smith on Feb. 29. The sad part of it is that this little lady will not have a birthday to celebrate until she is four years old. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 5, 1942). Another honor befell the local high school as several instrumental and vocal soloists and ensemble groups proved their ability to compete successfully against other schools of the same or larger size. Of the 10 entries from McHenry, seven brought home gold medals for placing in the first division for Class C schools, and even those not placed in this division ranked well. In the instrumental solo division Bonnie Page took high honors with her clarinet rendition of "Une Pensee Lontaine". Elaine Lan- dgren, who was entered in the cornet division, won high honors with her rendition of the difficult solo, "Bride of the Waves". Elaine was especially honored in being one of the few who had "none" written under "weak points" on her criticism. Some day the city will have a new bridge over , Boone creek.: Some)day Green street will be widened at that point. At the City Council meeting, plans were presented by Engineer Victor H. Kasser of Elgin for these projects. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO ~ (Taken from the files of March 7, 1957). After a study of the dreaded Dutch Elm disease by the City Council, approval was given of a proposal made by Anderson Tree Service to spray trees at this time. Stating that the disease had been confined within the city the past year, the proposal further stated that spraying to prevent elm bark beetle feeding may be done any time during the dormant period and give results for a one-year period. A letter to friends from Bernard Buss, stationed in California, tells of his having been selected as one of a very few specialized mechanics who went to Camp Irwin, Calif., for this particular work. So what is he doing? "Specialized" typist clerk duties! Two McHenry Junior high students were awarded first place ratings at the Illinois Grade School Band association district contest in Libertyville. They are Janet Eckstein and Virginia Peterson, clarinetists, who received medals which entitle them to enter state competition in Plainfield. They were accompanied by Joy Fairchild. INCOME-TAX.

Schwegel & Co. 4410 W. ELM ST., McHCNRY 385-44 TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 8, 1972). Six freshmen and sophomore students at East campus high school, all juveniles, were brought before city police officers last week on charges either of making bomb threats or starting a fire. The series of disturbances started Monday afternoon when three calls were made from outside the school, in­ cluding one from a business firm and another from the local hospital, threatening that bombs were about to explode in the school. Police responded to a Are alarm call the following day but soon found it was only a prank. Administrators became aware of the two boys responsible and they implicated themselves in the disturbances. For the first time since basketball records have been recorded at MCHS back in 1924, the Warriors won their first IHSA Regional tournament in basketball.

The cham­ pionship game was a thrilling victory for the Warriors over Antioch, 63-61. P.E.T.

County Senior Council Moves by Joanne Springman SHAW MKMA NIWS SMVICI About 150 area senior citizens, building residents and local officials turned out last week for a "Senior Services" open house at the Walden Oaks senior citizens building. Resident Manager Colleen Sinift said Walden Oaks and the McHenry County Senior Citizens Council sponsored the informal reception so building residents and seniors from around the county could get acquainted. "The response was very good, and I think we have a very good turnout," Mrs. Sinift said. "Everybody seems to be making friends. "We are looking forward to working together and to socializing together in the future," she told the people gathered in the building solarium. Mayor Frances Kuhn also addressed the gathering. "I think this is just ab­ solutely wonderful. It's what we knew had to happen when we first saw the blueprints," she said. "You're wonderful people." Mrs. Kuhn also paid tribute to council President Victor Lundemo, who, she said, "volunteered so much time and worked so hard to get this going." Lundemo, in turn, congratulated the mayor and the city "as being a leader for the larger municipalities in the county by participating in the establishment of the cen­ ter." The walk-in center on Newell street closed and the Walden Oaks facility opened officially last Monday. So They Say American women are the best-yessed women in the world. -Punch.

The new 16 month Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is an example of this deregulation. What this means to you is that interest rates paid on this account will vary from institution to institution. We suggest you use our IRA plans (shown in the chart below) as a guide, and call your bank or savings & loan and compare.
