(Third in a series prepared by officials at Family Service and Mental Health clinic and Pioneer center to provide background information on the March yi9 Mental Health refererraum). Any tax increase would be gradual and is limited if the proposed Mental Health referendum is approved March 19, Robert Lambourn, executive director of Pioneer center, asserted. Many people are sympathetic in helping the mentally or physically handicapped or who need psychiatric or psychological counseling but don't know the details of the referendum to be voted on March 19, same day as the primary election. "Care of the people who need help because of their mental or physical handicap is being turned over to local agencies in major change of emphasis by the state government," Lambourn explained. "It is a better investment to administer the tax dollars locally with a local board of directors and with two established organizations with outstanding professionals," he asserted. The two local agencies are Pioneer center and the Family Service and Mental Health clinic. "Citizens now pay $5 a year if their home has an assessed valuation of $10,000 or a little over a penny a day. Under the referendum, the McHenry County Health board would be able to increase taxes gradually over a period of five years, or longer to meet growing 4femands and handle existing programs," explained Lambourn. The maximum a person would be paying would be $10 a year if a home is assessed at $10,000, or an investment of 3 cents a day at the maximum allowable rate. The board has determined it will increase rates only as needed and not levy the maximum until demands for services require it. One important aspect of this referendum concerns many people's reluctance to state a party preference-Republican or Democrat. Citizens can vote on this issue by taking a ballot and finding the Mental Health referendum proposal on the voting machine. Lambourn and members of the two agencies seek a "Yes" vote on this referendum. Reason why increased money is needed now can be gleaned from data showing sharply increased patient loads at both agencies. Pioneer center in 1967 ser­ viced eleven people in a single program, a work program that today has seventy people in rehabilitation facilities at McCullom Lake. It also now has nineteen people in a Day Care School at Wonder Lake and four infants t ime Day Care program, has twenty people in a y-four hour residence (seven days a week with trained staff people) at Woodstock. Adoption of the tax program in 1967 enabled the services to expand greatly at both Pioneer center and the Mental Health clinic. , The Family Service and Mental Health clinic in 1967 had 748 patients. In 1973*it had 1,606. Professional staff has grown to 21 people and interviews have increased from 3,115 to 13,672 over the same six-year period. Lambourn stressed a fin^l point: Both agencies work closely with ' other organizations in the county, ranging from local hospitals to the Sheriff's department, McHenry County college and the Special Education district. "The best investment in improved health care is a 'Yes' vote on this referendum," summarizes Lambourn. "Local boards administer the funds. Local citizens work at the agencies and are dedicated people with an appreciation both of the costs involved and Gem Hunting Program Set For Area Club A slide program of interest to rockhounds, mineral collectors and lapidaries will be presented to members and welcome visitors of the Hiawatha Gem and Mineral society after the 7:30 p.m. business meeting in the dining room of the McHenry West campus Tuesday, March 5.

OPPOSE RTA The Illinois Jaycees voted to oppose the Regional Tran­ s p o r t a t i o n A u t h o r i t y referendum at its General Assembly in Aurora on Sunday. The 300-chapter organization approved a resolution made by Forrest Hare of the Crystal Lake Jaycee kNOw RTA committee following a debate on the subject. Speaking for the proponents were George Ranney, the executive director of the "RTA Citizens Committee for Better Transportation, and liep. William Redmond (D- Bensonville). Representing the opponents of RTA were State Representatives Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-CrystalLake) and Giddy Dyer (R-Hinsdale). "The student body is really getting excited about the ground breaking at the Junior college and the $1 investments in the McHenry County Educational foundation are going like 'Hot cakes' said co-chairmen of the student drive, Gus Williams and Howard Miller. "At first, most of the student body didn't know what the Educational foundation was or what it was trying to do. After they heard the word that the sole purpose of the foundation was to promote a better Junior college for McHenry county, then the sale of the $1 in­ vestments moved," said Williams and Miller. "Also, they didn't know the foundation had been in operation since 1966," said Miller. Williams is director of student services at the Junior college and Miller is the student representative on the board of trustees of the college. They are in charge of the student investment program instituted by the executive director of the McHenry County Educational foundation, John W. Buckner. Buckner today stated, "Williams and Miller will present a check to Lori Huml, president of the foundation, at the ground breaking ceremonies held on March 10 at 4 at the new college site. The check will represent the efforts of the student body to show that
