J o k e y G a r g a m e l Smurfette, Wingy Judy Van Treeste, Easter Seals representative, lectured to Health classes in all county schools and on this occasion at McHenry Community high school East campus. The students saw films and then went to the gym, where they were able to try out equipment commonly used by the handicapped, including crut­ ches, wheelchairs, walkers and canes. Some of the students were blind­ folded and asked to negotiate an obstacle course, facing much the same difficulties as a blind person venturing into the everyday world. Ms. Van Treeste said the approach for East campus had to be varied because there are no handicapped students attending. "At Crystal Lake South and MCC there are handicapped students,'* she said. "The rest of the students in those schools take this much more seriously." Along With the practical aspects of the demonstrations, students were given some advice on dealing with their handicapped peers. High on the list was simply, "Be yourself." Charter To Toastmasters After three months of organizational work, the McHenry Area Toastmasters club will be presented its charter Dec. 2 at a dinner being held at the McHenry Country club, according to the club's president, Jerry Boehm. A Toastmasters club cannot be chartered until 20 members have filed application with the club. This figure was reached and application for charter was submitted and accepted as of Nov. 1. The charter will be formally presented to the new club by District 30 Governor Carl Miller, Gurnee. District 30 is the Toast- masters organization that covers all of the Chicagoland area. The McHenry Area TM club will still accept members at their meetings, and guests are encouraged to attend at any time. Meetings are held on the second Saturday morning at 9 a.m. at McHenry Country club, for breakfast, and the fourth Monday at 8 p.m. at the First United Methodist church. Meetings are educational in concept, held in an atmosphere of friendship and fun. Reservations for the charter dinner are being accepted by Fred Carroll at 344-0670.

She tells us that they earned a check mark on their Brownie B chart by being 'Ready Helpers'. Landmark's Troop 409 was at their meeting learning new songs and games that Troop 407 learned at the "Brownie Event. " The girls are also busy working on "My Very Own Story". This will earn them a check mark on the Brownie B Chart in the "World of Well Being". Some of the committee moms have volunteered their time and kitchens to have a few girls over to bake cookies, make egg rolls or put together a pizza during the month of December. I look forward to the next meeting, Dec. 2, when I get to meet the next reporter of the week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY A big birthday wish is sent to Carole Humann on Dec. 2.

"Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week."...Joseph Addison Smoke Detectors What Kind of Smoke Detector Do We Need? Because most home fires produce a rich mixture of smoke types, with detectable amounts of both large- particle and small-particle smoke early in the fire's growth, either an ionization or a photoelectric detector will meet most needs. Rather than delay purchases while you decide between them, why not buy one and get it installed at once? Whichever type you* get, it will provide more protection than no detector. ...And How Many? This may be a more important question than "what kind?" Tests conducted for the U.S. National Bureau of Standards have shown that two detectors, on different levels of a two-story home are twice as likely to provide an adequate amount of time for escape as one detector. The up­ stairs detector senses smoke wherever it originates, while the downstairs unit will react sooner to fire which could block escape routes . through the first floor. One detector gives more protection than no detector; two detectors, if properly installed, provide more reliable early warning than one. Having two detectors also lets you select both an ionization type and a photoelectric model, giving you the best capabilities of both. It also lets you have one battery-powered and one plug-in or wire-in model, so that neither a battery failure nor a power outage leaves your family defenseless. Finally, two smoke detectors are far less likely, statistically, to both be "on the blink" when needed than a lone detector. by Firefighters of the McHenry Township Fire Protection District Holiday Hills Names Attorney Patricia Hughes, the village president of Holiday Hills, has an­ nounced that she has appointed Richard J.
