They are members of the intermediate care nursing team which provides skilled coronary care and constant surveillance of patients who are resuming normal activities after being transferred from the Intensive Care unit. V?> I'*-- A print-out record of the patient's heartbeat can be made and attached to the patient's chart as a permanent part of his record. Above. Linda Klier, R.N., left, and Betty Veselka, L.P.N, record an EKG strip. McHenry hospital's Intermediate Coronary Care unit, which provides continual cardiac monitoring and highly skilled nursing care for patients who have been transferred from the Intensive Care unit, has proved to be of value during its short time in operation, according to James R. Skopec, M.D., chairman of the hospital staff's Intensive Care committee. "The purpose of the Intermediate Coronary Care unit is to monitor continuously the heart beat of patients who have had a recent heart attack. Using this technique we are better able to determine how much activity each individual patient needs and whether or not there are any serious irregularities of the heart beat," Dr. Skopec said. "The new telemetry equipment enables a team of coronary care nurses to detect arrythmias which would otherwise be imperceptible." Carolyn Katkus, R.N., is clinical nurse supervisor of the Intermediate Coronary Care module. She heads a 24-hour nursing care team composed of Linda Klier, R.N.; Dorothy Woltz, L.P.N.; Betty Veselka, L.P.N.; Kathleen den Dulk, R.N.; Kathleen Spyrnal, R.N.; Susan Rother, L.P.N.; and Kathleen Helberg, R.N.

Not This Couple When Donald Brock of Osyka, Mississippi turned 64, he thought it would be a good idea to retire from a lifetime of working as a pipefitter. That was in 1974. Today, at 66, Brock is back on the job, working on a power plant project 100 miles from Osyka. "He drives round-trip in a car pool everyday," Brock's wife Iva told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. A 200 mile daily commute would in itself be Enough to exhaust many afl, younger person. And if (the drive, didn't, the physical de-| mands of a construction job surely would, leaving a pg™- son ready for a quick bite to eat before falling into bed at the end of the day. That's not the case with Donald Brock, however. "When the weather is good and the days are long, he likes to work in his gar­ den when he &ets home," Mrs. Brock said. "He just doesn't like to sit still -- that's the reason he went back to work." During the winter months, when Brock has no garden to tend, he uses his excess energy to hook rugs and do decoupage, a variety of collage-making. Neither one of the Brocks hold much truck with loll­ ing about. Mrs. Brock filled two freezers with part of last year's yield from her husband's garden. For good measure, she also canned about 350 jars of different kinds of, fruits and vege­ tables. Mrs. Brock's long list of activities keeps her just as busy as her husband. While he's hooking a rug, Iva Brock is likely to be cro­ cheting or knitting some­ thing for one of her 10 grandchildren. "Our three children are scattered around pretty well, but I make it a point to get them back home on holidays," Mrs. Brock said. "We're what you'd call a close-knit family." During the day, Mrs. Brock, 64, is involved in a variety would busy. "I love children, so when­ ever I'm called on I do sub­ stitute teaching at a gram­ mar school near the house," she said. "I also teach the adult Sunday school classes at my church and sing in the choir." That still isn't enough to fill Mrs. Bropk's days. She does volunteer work for the Southwest Mississippi Council on Aging, visiting nursing homes and elderly shut-ins whenever she has the time. Between Donald Brock's 200 mile commute to a rugged construction job and Iva Brock's substitute teach­ ing and busy schedule of volunteer work, there are very few idle moments in the day for either of them. "That's the way we like it," Mrs. Brock said. "You know, my husband really hated his one year of retire­ ment. Since he's gone back, he likes his work more than ever. He says he never wants to quit. "I agree with him a hun­ dred percent," Mrs. Brock continued. "I think when you start taking it easy that you don't last too long. Work keeps you young."

SCOUT NEWS . I'nemployment Unemployment in Illinois remained at (> percent in March. The six-county Chicago area figures increased slightly from 5.4 percent in February to 5.6 percent in March, while there were significant decreases downstate. Analysts of the Illinois Department of Labor said the decreases downstate were the result of increased work performed out of doors, primarily in con­ struction and agriculture.
