Needy may get help in paying electric bills Page 5-PL A IN DEALER HERALD, FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 9.1*4 For the second consecutive year, Commonwealth Edison is sponsoring a program to help pay the electricity bills of low- income families. Company officials said that they are seeking funds now but they stressed that dttbursal of funds will not come until later in the winter. « "Edison's financial assistancce program offers a chancce for shareholders, customers and employes to assist the need during the holiday season;*' announced Edison's Chairman and President James J. O'Connor. "However, right now the em­ phasis is on nUing the kettle." This year's program will again be administered by the Salvation Army. Contributions can now be sent to the Salvation Army CPF, P.O. Box 70675. Chicago, Illinois 60673. Edison < will match contributions, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000. A November mailing to Edison shareholders will ask for contributions to the fund. Hie company's employes will be askea for donations through a pay envelope insert, and a Deccember bill message will invite Edison's three million customers to participate. Last year's fund provided assistance totaling $780,000 to some 10,000 families in northern Illinois. Eligible for this year's program are those Edison customers with family incomes at or below 125 percent of the federal poverty level, and who have outstanding bills with the company. Individual eligibility will be • determined by the Salvation Army. Organ donor surgery is topic of program Help from a friend Johns burg Skyhawk football players Harry Giovanni and M Dumelle help Bush School kindergartener Tom Savino try shoulder pads daring a recent visit to the school. Mark on Only 13 percent of people in cars wear safety belts The Association of Operating Room Nurses of North Regional Illinois invites the public to a free program on the topic of "Donor Surgenr." * The public _ awareness program will be held at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 14 at the Woodstock Opera House. Refreshments will be provided. Speakers will include a man from Elgin who has a new heart; the father of a young man whose organs were donated; and the nurse coordinator from the Illinois Transplant Society, Inc. Organ transplantation is not some dream of the future. It is here now and lives are being saved. Among the organs and currently being tran­ splanted in Illinois are the liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, bone, bone marrow, inner ear bones and skin. The transplantation of kidneys for patients suffering end stage renal disease has been a suc­ cessful mode of therapy for approximately 30 years. Unless they receive kidney transplants, 69,409 patients in the United States do not have a chance to live without dialysis machines. In Illinois alone, there are 3,306 patients dependent on dialysis. Of these patients, there are 485 awaiting kidneys. For further information on the association, the program or on organ donation, call K. Herman at 385-3205. By Sec. ofState Jim Edgar About 44,000 persons in the United States are killed in motor vehicle accidents every year. Traffic safety experts agree that if everyone used safety belts, this tragic toll could be reduced significantly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad­ ministration (NHTSA), approx­ imately 80 percent Of all accidents occur at speeds less than 40 mph, and safety belts are 80 to 90 per­ cent effective at those speeds. Safety hints: Although safety belts are estimated to be 50 percent effec­ tive in preventing injuries, only 13 percent of drivers and passengers nationwise use them. Make it a habit to fasten your safety belt every time you get into a motor vehicle. Parents and legal guardians, who are now required to put children under age 6 in ap­ proved child safety seats or safety belts, should also buckle up. It is easier to convince a child to keep a safety belt on if the parents are wearing theirs. And unbelted adults in the back seat pose a serious threat to restrained children in an accident. The arguments against wearing safety belts have, been refuted. For example, the belief that it is safer to be thrown clear in an acci­ dent is false. The force of a colli­ sion can fling you as far as 150 feet, or 15 car lengths. Being thrown from a vehicle increases your chances of being killed by 25 times. ' Don't wait until you are involv­ ed in an accident to start wearing your safety belt. It could be too late. EARNINGS State Treasurer James H. Don- newald announced that deposits of state funds during September earned $18,835,002 interest for the taxpayers of Illinois. It was the se­ cond consecutive month with in­ terest income over the $18 million level, Donnewald noted, reflecting both a continued climb in interest rates since last December and a rising level of funds Jield by the treasurer. 1260 N.Green St. , McHenry, III.
