MENTAL HEALTH PERSONNEL AT STATE CONFERENCE Jtaard members and administrative personnel of the Mental Health Center for McHenry County, have participated in a atate-wide conference aimed at speeding preventative mental health care at the local level. 'The conference was called by the state department of Mental Health and was held early this month. The health conference had many facets, Geroge Nally, administrator of the McHenry county health care organization, said this week. Development of a community mental health program beyond the walls of the various mental health centers is one major aspect. Mally said those heading the conference stressed the need to develop ways for communities to aid in emotional situations before mental illness gains the upper hand. "Suppose a factory closes down in a community.. Certain upsetting factors are involved, and persons working : with people can help prevent wisespread emotional emergencies with alertness," he said. "Suppose a mother is hospitalized because of an emergency. Children can become upset, but proper assitance by people alert to the problems can avoid crises that lead to emergencies requiring extended psychiatric care." Administrative- per.so nnel metfjn the first? d^y of the sessi<^r^^lifling ', t$s session from Mchenry county weite Mally, Dr. Salvador Martinez, psychriatric director for the center and Paul Neal, psychiatric social worker. Board members participated in the conference the final two days, and McHenry county Mental Health center board members present were Virgil Pollock and M. S. Firth. State officials feel mental health care should be decentralized-- that local com munities have a better chance to work with patients and with persons who would become Mental Health center patients if not aided early in a crisis. "We will be expected to assume a greater burden in mental health care at the county and local level," Mally summarized. "Development of a program and finding ways to finance it are vital to the improvement of mental health care here." Such services as 24-h our emergency psychological care, and in-patient care are examples of ways communities can develop improved mental health care programs. Mally said late in the conference administrators of Mental Health clinics formed an association to help establish community mental health centers and to coordinate local, state and zone center work. ARBOR DAY Arbor Day is Friday, April 29. Your garden club, school groups, scouts, 4-H civic group or your improvement association still have time to pian a tree planting day. Suggested trees to plant are: Norway, Sugar and Silver Maple, Ash, Pin Oak, Hackberry, European Elm, and various thornless locusts. The Silver Maple is one of the fastest growing and is suggested for the younger youth to plant because they will actually see it develop in only a few years. Even as volunteers call on neighbors in the Cancer Crusade now under way in McHenry county, important changes are taking place in the work of the American Cancer society. Increased emphasis on the work of volunteers will result from the ACS study designed to sharpen goals of the research program, Arnold May, McHenry county Cancer Crusade chairman, has predicted. "As a result of the study an entirely new film library is being produced to aid in the public and professional education on ways to whip cancer," said May.. "Expansion of activities of volunteers in behalf of cancer patients is a second objective resulting from a study of the service program of the ACS. "Person-to-person neighborly helpfulness can do much to alleviate the shock of cancer, and this is where volunteers step into the front line too." The county:wide Cancer Crusade has been conducted in some parts this week, and will be^ completed throughout most of the county by the end of the month. Goal is .two-fold--to raise $20,000 through contributions and to distribute information Mobile Units Serve School Ray Page, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, said this week that mobile units will be put into service to expand vocational guidance services in Illinois schools. Two new mobile units, which will serve as classrooms, wil1 begin a tour of nineteen school districts in twelve southern Illinois'counties as an initial proiect. The thirty-foot units are designed to provide space for instructional materials, a counseling room and a study area for participants in the programs. One unit will begin at Cobden in Union county, and the other will be at Mill Shoals and Grayville schools in White county. Other counties included in the tour are Gallatin, Saline, Williamson, Jackson, Alexander, Johnson, Pope, Hardin, Pulaski and Massac. Two counselors will accompany each unit. Supt. Page said the purpose of this program is to demonstrate what can be accomplished by providing vocational gu;- dance services in areas which are not heavily populated and where guidance 0 services are limited in- comparison with the' types of guidance" 'Services which are more readily availfable in the more populous and affluent areas. Page said "This project centers about the needs of high school graduates and dropouts who will enter the labor market without further formal schooling. The focus is upon service to three groups: 1 - non-college bound students currently enrolled as seniors in high schools; 2 - young people who have graduated from high school in the past three years who are currently unemployed and 3 - young people who have dropped out of high school who are currently unemployed.* to help people spot the seven danger signals.

White, University of Illinois entomologist on the staff of the Illinois Natural History Survey. The grand total includes the cost of insect control measures amounting to over $17 million, replanting costs of nearly $3 million, and losses in yield of over $23 million.

On corn crops alone insecticides were applied for control of soil insects, black cutworm, chinch bug, fall army worm, European corn borer, corn leaf aphid and corn flea beetle. scHOOLwrra NO GRADUATES SERVES COUNTY "The school from which no one ever graduates" is a quick description of the Theocratic Ministry school operated by the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses at their Kingdom Hall at 11605 Catalpa lane, Woodstock.
