This free health care service will be for children 1 to 5 years of age. Exact locations and times are being finalized, and the use of a mobile van will help ex­ pand the program to reach out to people in the smaller com­ munities. Plans call for testing stations in the larger cities, and Gollan is working with Knights of Columbus councils to establish locations. The Knights of Columbus helped purchase the van which is being provided with the cooperation of the Illinois Association for Retarded Citizens. Kaycees have also aided to the work being done in McHenry county through the Pioneer center program for the handicapped' with donations. Many people remember the Tootsie Rolls campaign of the past several winters when Knights of Columbus members sold the candy, said Gollan, as he explained how the Kaycees raises some of its funds to aid the developmentally disabled.

"Toys, pencils, crib sides, window sills and newspapers are among things children come in contact with that may be sources of lead poisoning.

Early symptoms that should alert parents include headaches, listlessness, irritability, loss of appetite and occasional vomiting," said Gollan. yiven by Red Cross.
