Annual Easter Seals drive is under way now. visit the Easter Seal Therapy center, and you will know a woman's auxiliary is intimately involved. The result of their efforts is for all to see - in the blacktopped driveway, new curtains in thfe treatment area, in equipment for therapy and the speech clinic. In innumerable ways the woman's auxiliary fulfills its key goal -- to raise funds for the equipment that Bob Steffi and his staff of devoted people use to help patients even more. Mrs. Jack Williams, Crystal Lake, is the energetic preswell- selected projects helped raise money last year. This is a timely report, for right now citizens are being asked to support the Therapy center through purchase of Easter Seals, and it is heart-warming for them to know an auxiliary of dedicated women functions. The annual Easter Seals appeal is before citizens now, but Mrs. Louis Duddleston, fund drive chairman, urges anyone who did not receive his Easter Seals in the mail to forward his check with a request for the remainder stickers. They will be forwarded at once. Several of the auxiliary projects included the following: Round robin bridge tourney, headed by Mrs. William Tittle; Waterfall house benefit, Mrs. Karl Koch, chairman; clothing and resale, Mrs. B.B. Neuchiller, chairman; Christmas cards Mrs. Howard Fiedelman, chairman. -Among achievements with the money raised, few brought more thrills than to blacktop the driveway in the new front entryway. The outside will be painted this spring. Equipment includes a duplicating machine and tape recorder for the speech clinic and a Ward Duel, administrator of the McHenry County Health department, has urged parents to takeWtra caution intheuseand storage of insecticides, pesticides and other poisonous materials used around the house in spring work. "As parents get involved with lawn work and house cleaning, they are more likely to forget and leave poisonous materials about, where children can get to them. In a high percentage of cases, insecticides and pesticides responsible for childhood poisoning accidents were not in their original containers when the victims found them," Mr, Duel said. He also noted that in 35 percent of the cases poisonous materials were found on the floor of the home by the victim. Chemical fertilizers and cleaning agents are also responsible for the peak number of accidental poisonings noted each spring. Each year there are nearly 3,000 fatal and non-fatal poisonings caused by insecticides and pesticides alone. Thirty percent of these occur in the one-to-five age group, with the most dangerous time being from age 1 to 2 when the child is first able to get around the house and into unlocked storage areas. As in most other types of childhood accidents, boys are more often victims than girls. Mr.Duel suggests the followshort wave diathermy machine., On order is a new hydrocullator with table towel rack, weight carts with weights, shoulder wheel and new treatment tables.

Use a locked cabinet or shed for storing poisonous materials. 2. Keep insecticides and pesticides in original containers rather than in several small bottles in various parts Of the home. 3. Don't put rat, mole or gopher poisons around a lawn or house where children could possibly get to them. 4. Make sure children old enough to understand are told of the danger in putting unknown substances in their mouths. 5. If a child should eat or drink a poisonous substance, phone your nearest hospital emergency room, or poison control center immediately. Be ready to tell them what the child has taken. Mr. Duel suggests writing down the telephone number of the two poison control centers in McHenry County. They are McHenry hospital, 3516 West Waukegan, McHenry - 385- 2200; and Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, 527 West South street, Woodstock -338- 2500.

Boards are authorized to allow such students to complete their programs. Students transferring from one institute to another, whether a two-year or four-year institution, may be considered for n-S or II-A status depending upon the educational programs in which they enroll, provided that they continue to make normal progress, in accordance with regulations, toward' completion of their programs.
