Thursday, April 29, 1965 tbe: McHENHY PLAINDEALER Section Two Seek Easter Seal Quota Ronald Stearns speech therapist at the Easter Seal Center at. AVoodstock is observing the files used in the .1965 mail campaign carried out by Mrs. William Ritter, (seated). Letters to the schools of the county announcing the summer clinic will be mailed out soon. The Easter Seal campaign in McHenry county has not met its $13,000 quota. The amount received to date is $9,829.18, according to Chester Gould campaign chairman. Contributions should be mailed at once in the envelope contained in the Easter Seal letter so that work at the Easter Seal Center at Woodstock can be carried out. Funds for the campaign are urged to pay the running expenses at the center. There are individuals and organizations however that financially aid the Easter Seal program by hqlding events to be applied to the mortgage on the Therapy center building. "It is the' policy of the Easter Seal" said Gould, "to take care of those in need of such treatment whether they pay or not. The cost is based on the ability to pay. The non-pay patient eabh year, hqwever, far exceeds those who pay in full and those who pay part of the cost." Mrs. William Ritter of Woodstock was the volunteer mail chairman for the 1965 campaign. She was responsible for typing of envelopes for 22,180 pieces of mail enclosing Easter Seals. Stuffing of envelopes was conducted by groups of volunteers, including . Mrs. Carol Anderson of McHcnry.

HEALTH OFFICER OFFERS ADVICE ON MENINGITIS The following report was made by Dr. Peter H. Griesbach, city health officer, this week: "There has been much discus-, sion in the past several weeks about an outbreak of meningitis in McHenry county. To the best of pur knowledge, this outbreak has not been of epidemic proportion but seems to consist of some sporadic cases. Much pressure^ has been put on local physicians to administer drugs for the prevention of this disease. It quite frequently happens that antimicrobial drugs are administered, without realization by the physician that the patient is suffering from meningitis. Under such circumstances, symptoms of meningitis may abate temporarily and recur after the drug is withdrawn. It then may be difficult to make a specific bacteriologic diagnosis, either by direct examination or by laboratory methods. "Meningitis may be caused by several different organisms and the method of treatment for these is specific. The incubation period varies, but most ofcago, Sunday, where he attended a Catholic Order of Forester installation. ten is between three to five days. Isolation is only necessary for twentyrfour hours and there is no quarantine of contacts. If you should be exposed directly to meningitis, it is important to find out the type of meningitis that you were exposed to and the specific drug can then be administered to prevent the disease. "If there is an outbreak of meningitis, in enclosed areas or institutions, it might be desirable to give medication to the whole institution. Otherwise, only those people who have had direct contact should receive medication. "The best precaution is to take care of all upper respiratory infections, especially those with fever. Indiscriminate use of drugs should be discouraged. Hysteria only causes confusion. "These recommendations are based on those made by the Committee on the Control of Infectious Diseases by the American Academy of Pediatrics." MARRIAGE LICENSES William B.
