RELIGIOUS PROGRAM A total religious education program incorporating the needs and interests of each and every parishioner is the goal of Sister Virginia Lawrence and Mrs. Michael Cook, coor­ dinators of the Christ the King Religious Education Program in Wonder Lake. Parents who wish to have a child baptized should contact the rectory or Sister Virginia to arrange for pre-baptismal preparation classes. Special preparation classes for parents of children who are ready for First Communion or Confession will also begin in late October. Those who prefer, may wait until spring for at­ tending these preparation classes. The children's program for religious education began the week of Sept. 28. There will be an eight week session for high school students, comparing the lyrics of contemporary music with the psalms. Further in­ formation will be available in the Sunday bulletin. Teachers in the religious education program will have a once-a-month grade level class planning and a once-a-month theology with Father Tranel and Sister Virginia. The time and place each month will be listed in the Sunday bulletin. The adults of the parish are being offered four different education and religious programs coordinated by Sister Virginia.

Julie Huff, Scribe TAG DAY This Saturday, Oct. 11, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. a group of Moms will be standing on certain street corners of Wonder Lake. They might possibly be shivering from the cold, but they'll give you a bright smile and tell you that their reason for being there is the Kachina Neighborhood Girl Scout Tag Day. Tag Day is the Scout moms once a year fund raising project for the support of Girl Scouting in Sybaquay Council. Kachina Neighborhood is part of Sybaquay Council. All proceeds from Tag Day are used to support our local Scouting program (qualified advisors, leader and adult trainings, special council events for Scouts, office supplies and forms, information mailings to adult staff, operating expenses, etc.) The Kachina Neighborhood (Richmond, Wonder Lake) now has ten active troops. There are two Brownie Troops and one Junior Troop at Harrison school; two Brownie Troops and one Junior Troop at Greenwood school; one Cadette Troop made up of Junior High school age girls in Wonder Lake and a Senior Scout Troop open to high school girls in Wonder Lake and the surrounding area. Richmond has a Brownie and a Junior Troop. Chairmen for Scout Tag Day are Troop Committee moms, Mrs. Dee Chesler and Mrs. Barbara Barthuly. They are being assisted by Service team members, Mary Lou Cope and Lucy Coleman. Scout moms (or dads are welcome to help too) are asked to be generous in giving just one hour of their time on Tag Day to aid their daughters Scouting program. Moms who have not recieved a call from their daughters troops may volunteer their services by calling the troop leader or anyone of the Tag Day com­ mittee. Scout leaders, committee moms, service team members and other active adult Scouts give of their time, energies and talents continually throughout the year to make the Scouting program rich and rewarding for the communities' girls. The support of Scout parents and the community is a great en­ couragement and booster to these generous people. HAPPINESS IS Happiness is...having friends who help when you need it. Happiness is...Scott and Todd Parquette, pulling their little red wagon, bountifully filled with big orange pumpkins from their garden, down the street, to give to their friends for Halloween. Happiness is...going hickory nuttin' in the woods (at least it's happy until you step into one of those cow p i e s ! ) H a p p i n e s s is...congratulating Georgia and Roger Bauer on their twenty- fifth wedding anniversary and wishing them many more years of happiness together. Hap­ piness is...watching the work on Route 120 progress, knowing that soon we will have a wider, safer, better road. Happiness is...offering our best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. George Smutny who celebrated their twenty- fifth wedding anniversary with a renewal of their marriage vows at a 3 p.m. Mass at Christ the King church on Saturday, Oct. 4. The following was dictated to us and it is only under great protest and because of certain threats about freedom of the press that we add: Happiness is...having a very gracious and very capable reporter like Mary Jean Huff. Wonder Lake is very lucky.

At several locations throughout McHenry county, trained personnel will conduct a simple blood test which will be used to detect signs of lead poisoning in early stages to prevent future physical damage, explains Tom Gollan, director of children's services for the McHenry County Association for the Retarded. Gollan said a mobile van is being brought to McHenry county to assist with the establishment of several locations for testing. Exact schedule of testing is being determined now. Approval to schedule the van was obatained late last week from the Illinois Association for Retarded Citizens. Several Knights of Columbus Councils in McHenry county are assisting with arrangements. They have contributed to the McHenry County Association for the Retarded and Illinois Knights of Columbus Councils purchased the mobile van being used in this screening program. The McHenry County Health Department is cooperating in this program. Mrs. Eileen Hansen. R.N., is the Depart­ ment's coordinator. Heading the program for the McHenry County Association for the Retarded is Kathi George. She is making arrangements for locations, helping with contacts at nursery schools and chur­ ches, and during the short time available striving to impress parents of children in the 1-5 age group of the urgency of this screening program. Gollan said a common misconception is to believe that lead poisoning is a slum area problem only. "Children put things in their mouths. Everything from toys to pen­ cils, from dust inside and outside the house can be the source of lead. Over a period of time it can accumulate and cause problems even though the amount ingested is small," he warns. Lead poisoning is a major cause of mental retardation in otherwise normally healthy youngsters," said Gollan. "At the McHenry County Association for the Retarded we are doing what we can to help people who have already been afflicted with mental retardation. "With this program we want to prevent mental retardation through lead poisoning with this quick, simple 5-minute test-a program of prevention." When lead poisoning symp­ toms are found, Health Department officials conducts tests to find the source of lead and remove this source. It may be the discarding of toys or small objects; recovering certain surfaces; or a change in the youngster's outside play area. "Damage from lead poisoning is most serious," concluded Gollan. "It can encompass brain damage, loss of sight, coma, and even death." Announcements concerning locations for the lead poisoning tests will be made through county news media before Oct. 8 so citizens can plan to take 1-5 year olds to the nearest test site. Sites for the lead poisoning testing program being con­ ducted by the McHenry County Association for the Retarded have been established in several McHenry county communities. Testing takes only a few minutes and involves taking a Lakemoor-Lilymoor Sue Reese 385-7859 New Columnist Sue Reese Starts Writing Duties Residents of Lakemoor- Lilymoor, as the new columnist for our village my hope is that I do half as well as Alma.
