NORTHWEST HERALD Section B Wednesday, July 10,1985 Pag* 3 Regional Simple breathing is a chore for those with asthma Most people aren't aware of their breathing unless engaged in vigorous exercise or performing a strenuous physical task. But at this time of the year millions of Americans are ^suffering from asthma, a lungv disease that results in breathing problems, usually occurring at sudden and unexpected times. The factors that trigger asthma vary widely and episodes may be caused by a combination of fac­ tors. Weather - extremes in humidity or very cold air • can be a trigger. The many pollens blooming and mold spores that ex­ ist during the summer and fall seasons can cause many problems to an asthmatic or hay fever suf­ ferer. Allergens that can cause breathing difficulty include some household products, household or industrial dusts or fumes, air pollutants, and smote. Knowing what to do can help Memorial has new method of registering patients In order to implrove patient registration at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, all incoming patients are now being registered at the outpatient registration area on Blakely Street. Hours for that entrance to accommodate patient admissions are expanded, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Three full-time admissions clerks are staffing the admissions area to expedite admissions. David Torrento, director of business services, said admis­ sions have sometimes taken 20 to 30 minutes, and he expects this change to reduce the time in half. "Visitors to Memorial Hospital asthma, with the result that there may be fewer and milder episodes. New drugs and modern medical treatment enable most asthma sufferers to gain control of their disease and live a very nor­ mal life. The American Lung Association of DuPage and McHenry Counties has many educaitonal pamphlets, materials, and programs available on asthma for both children and adults.

Center to promote books and patients being discharged will still use the front entrance," he said. "The paperwork involving discharge will continue to be taken care of at the office adja­ cent to the front lobby." Torrento said the change should improve patient flow into the hospital significantly. "It will also minimize the incidence of patient admission delays." Persons coming to Memorial Hospital for McHenry County to go to the Emergency Services department will still use the emergency entrance, also on Blakely Street, Torrento said. CHICAGO -- Sec. of State and State Librarian Jim Edgar an­ nounced Monday the creation of the Illinois Center for the Book in ceremonies aboard the ship "Star of Chicago" docked at Navy Pier. "Illinois has a long history of support for literature," Edgar said. "Our READ Illinois pro­ gram, which promotes the state's books and authors, is a national model." Illinois is one of only two states to have a Center for the Book. The center will parallel the national center and will work with organizations throughout Illinois and the Midwest to promote the cause of books and reading. "Our Center will cooperate with the other state center in Florida to promote books and reading in every way. For example, the Il­ linois Center for the Book's first project will be the 'Conference on the Book in 19th Century America,' scheduled for the University of Chicago, October 18th and 19th," Edgar said. The October conference will br­ ing together scholars, booksellers and librarians from throughout the country in a meeting which will be open to the public. "It is appropriate that the Chicago-based Encyclopedia Britannica, one of the world's ma­ jor publishers, is hosting our in­ augural announcement," Edgar said. "That spotlights our message -- Illinois is one of the nation's greatest centers for reading, writing and publishing." The Encyclopedia Britannica is sponsoring the "Star of Chicago" cruise announcing the Illinois Center.

Astronaut Nelson to speak at Adler Planetarium show CHICAGO -- A real space hero will describe his adventures at a special Space Day program for children at 11:30 a.m., Saturday, July 20, at the Adler Planetarium. Astronaut Dr. George Nelson made history April 1984 when he flew his Manned Maneuvering Unit across 50 feet of space to rescue the Solar Max satellite. Nelson reached the 5,100-pound satellite and stabilized it so it could be repaired in space and placed back into orbit. After his exploit outside the Space Shuttle, Nelson described the MMU as "a very nice machine to fly -- you could put it wherever you wanted it." He credited the success in stabilizing the satellite to many hours of practice in simulators back on earth. Nelson has logged a total of 168 hours in space, including nine of extra-vehicular activity using the MMU. He's an astronomer and has done research in astronomy at Sacramento Peak Solar Obser­ vatory in New Mexico and in the Netherlands and Germany. He was selected as an astronaut can­ didate in 1978. In addition to Nelson's presenta­ tion, the Planetarium will present a Childrens' Sky Show, "Wonder­ ful Rocket," at 10 a.m., for pre­ schooler and "Mysteries of Space and Time" for older children (ages 6-17) at 11 a.m. and 1, 2, 3 and 4 p.m. Admission to "Wonderful Rocket" is $1.50 each. Admission to "Mysteries of Space and Time," is $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for children (6-17). Children under 6 are not admitted to "Mysteries." The Alder Planetarium is located at 1300 South Lake Shore Drive on Chicago's lakefront.
