w" ^ PAGE J-PLAINDEALER- WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1 Ml Governor declares D.U.L Awareiifcss Week STATE APPROVES The meaning of this time of the Christmas season differs with each individual. For a good many, it is a time to celebrate by visiting with friends and family, and during this celebration many people will try to mix drinking and driving as part of their Christmas cheers. Unfortunately, some of these celebrating individuals and non- celebrating individuals will not be around to share in the hap­ piness of Christmas itself. The drinking driver will be the cause of a number of fatalities during this time. To help people become more aware of this serious problem, DEATHS Bernard J. Hennessy of* McHenry died Thursday, Dec. 8, at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, Woodstock. He was 79 years old, born in Chicago Oct. 4, 1904, the son of John and Bridget (Ryan) Hennessy. ^ Mr. Hennessy lived in the McHenry area 32 years, since 1952. He was a retired machine operator for the Thread and Gage Co., Inc., Schiller Park, EL. Surviving are his wife Ann M. (Marldn), whom he married Governor James Thompson has declared the week of Dec. 11 through Dec. 17 as Driving Under The Influence (D.U.I.) Awareness Week. Since this is the week before Christmas and two weeks before New Year's Day, hopefully this special D.U.I, week will make people realize how senseless it is to drive drunk. . According to Captain Richard L. Stone, district commander, State Police District 2, "The motoring public has helped reduce the fatalities in Illinois for the past five years, along with reducing the fatality rate in this country. --HENNESSY July 9, 1938 in Chicago; a son Bob (Caryn) of McHenry; a daughter, Mrs. David (Susie) Holtaid of Houston, TX; and five grandchildren.

Schneider of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, McHenry.. Burial was in McHenry County Memorial Park, Woodstock.

Awareness Week will make people realize the seriousness of drinking and driving, and also the consequences of being caught while driving drunk." He also adds, "If you are going to drink, here are some tips to keep in mind : * 1-Drink in moderation. 2-Stop drinking 3-4 hours before you leave the party. 3-Coffee does not sober you up, only time. 4~Do not drink on an empty stomach. 5-If you can stay where you are, stay. 6-Call somebody to get you. If not, take a cab. 7-Let a sober friend drive, not you or anybody else who is dnmk." OLE DAYS Remember the good ole days when kids asked for a bicycle instead of a satellite station? continued from page 1 modernizations of health facilities are necessary to meet community requirements and to el iminate unnecessary duplication of costly health servic^. In short, the state is not contributing any money to the project. Pesce said initial start­ up costs to prepare the hospital for the unit will be about $145,000, and annual operating costs will be around $300,000. Initial costs will be paid by converting other hospital assets, he said. Revenue should lag behind costs for the first year of the #program, hut Pesce said that Situation is normal since a staff has to be trained, acquainted with the area - and paid - before the center gets its first patient. Pesce said the hospital now must find a physician willing to work in the program on a part- time basis and a program director, in addition to other staff. The center, he said, should be well-utilized. "It'll be a nice unit, I'm sure," Pesce said. DOI R MONEY O UP THE CHIMNEY!!
