JULY 20, 1977 Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 ( A m e r i c a n h e a l t h professionals-physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and nurses--are increasingly ac­ cepting the responsibility to lead the public away from cigarette smoking. The newest figures show that only 21 percent of physicians, 23 percent of dentists, and 28 percent of pharmacists smoke. Nurses are smoking at the slightly higher rate of 39 per­ cent. Health professionals are increasingly optimistic that those who want to quit can do so.: Recent data confirm this belief: cigarette smoking among adult males declined from 52 percent in 1966 to 39 percent Hfc 1975, and smoking among women declined from 34 percent to 29 percent during the same period, The attitudes and behavior of the health professionals have been reviewed in a study- Survey of Health Professionals; Smoking and Health, 1975-by the National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health, in collaboration with the National Cancer institute. It involved approximately 5,000 respondent* £rom each\ of the four hearth professions. Members of the same groups had been studied between 1967 and 1969. < The 1967-69 studies showed 30 percent of physicians, 34 percent of dentists and phar­ macists and 37 percent of nurses smoke cigarettes. The current report shows that a growing majority of health professionals .link smoking to a variety of disease, including lung cancer, em­ physema, and heart disease. In increasing numbers, they are expressing the belief that it is their responsibility to act as examples for the general public by not smoking themselves. Ninety-one percent of physicians, 88 percent of .dentists, 87 percent of nurses, and 73 percent of pharmacists agree with this position. The majority agree it is their responsibility to convince persons to stop smoking, and many believe this effort should include a more active role in speaking to lay groups about smoking. Even health professionals who still smoke solidly endorse their role as exemplary figures, and in every group were more likely to report that they never smoke in front of patients. Three of the four groups are making substantial strides toward following their own advice and a growing number of physicians, 61 percent of dentists, and 55 percent of pharmacists quit by 1975. Nurses lag behind the other health professionals in "kicking the habit", but are quitting at a slightly greater rate than other females. In 1975, of those women who had smoked, 36 percent of nurses quit compared with 34 percent of all female adults and 30 percent of those who work outside the home. (Com­ parisons are made with both groups because more women with outside employment smoke than do homemakers.) The percentage of nurses who still smoke is higher than that of other women: 39 percent of nurses. 34 percent of working females, and 29 percent of the adult female population still smoke. However, the survey shows fewer younger nurses smoke than do those 40 years of age and older--34 percent compared with 42 percent, •< A summary of the 1975 survey is available from the National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health, Center for Disease Control, Atlanta, ~Ga. 30333.

Kramer, 28, as secretary ot the Illinois Department v of Tran­ sportation. Kramer has directed the Office of Policy and Planning for the depart­ ment Since 1973. He is a 1970 summa cum laude graduate of Stanford university where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and attended Oxford university. Kramer headed the Highway Action coalition in Washington, D.C. Since joining the state transportation department in 1973, he served as the principal policy advisor to the secretary. piace to sl*°P" LI ' Spectacular 1978 Fireworks Show Promised • • " V . \ • / ' The Wonder Lake American Legion Post No. 1169 ap­ preciated the interest shown by all of the people who con­ tributed to the fireworks display July 3. The members of the Bicentennial committee of 1976 were an inspiration to resunie this program by put­ ting on their fireworks show last year and by giving the legion a substatial contribution to start off the funding for this year. The Board of Directors from Highland Shores also made a generous contribution. Of special help were Gene Jakubowski and Frank Houda of White Oaks Bay and their crew who helped by soliciting their own subdivision. We^ sincerely hope that the show was enjoyed by all. To those of you we missed in our collection and would still like to make a donation, you can mail your checks to Wonder Lake American Legion , Post No. 1169, Wonder Lake, 111. All funds now received would be put in a special fund, fireworks escrow account. This would enable us to plan a bigger and better show for 1978 and we do promise you a .spectacular show.

Government Regulates Sale Of Hearing AiSs No one can really beat the heat. Whether it's the heat or the humidity, or both, it's hot in almost ail of the United States in July. After weeks of sweating and steaming, it's not uncommon to find that the heat is beginning to wea^ a person ' down. A person can't do anything about the. outside temperature. It can be avoided if one is fortunate enough to work and live in air conditioned comfort. But, it still will be hot outside. The American Medical association points out that there are some things to do to me more comfortable--things that can help beat the heat. Stay out of the sun as much as possible, especially during the middle of the day when rays are hottest. Wear light, loose clothing. The ladies have the edge over the men in this respect. Drink more liquids than usual, but take extra salt only on a physician's advice, particularly if there is liver or kidney trouble, or a heart condition. Take a shower or dip in the pool once or twice a day to cool off. Get plenty of rest and sleep. Eat a regular diet, and don't go overboard on cold cuts and salads. Get up early in the morning to do the heavy work on the lawn or garden. Or, work at dusk in the evening, but try to avoid heavy exertion during the hottest hours of the day. There is sound physical reasoning behind the siesta custom of the tropics. Persons need exercise in the summer as well as in the winter, but don't overdo it, especially on extra hot days. Don't overdo physical exertion, whether at wiffeiHraait play. The more relaxed outdoor life of the summer months has many advantages to com­ pensate for the heat. Stay relaxed, use common sense, and a person can beat the heat- at least somewhat. - The Veterans administration reminds GI Bill students that new payment procedures started June 1. Local VA offices have full details Beginning Aug. 15. new federal regulations governing hearing aids will be in effect. The main purpose of this new measure is to protect con­ sumers against the sale of hearing devices that will not help them, reports Nancy Moore. University of Illinois home economist. Sometimes, persons are sold the wrong-type of hearing aid. are not properly fitted, or are sold hearing aids that will not correct their impairments. Ms. Moore claims that the new regulations are intended to J reduce the frequency of these situations. "Many of'^he hearing- impaired can helped by hearing aids, but others will get no benefit." she says. New regulations require that a licensed physician evaluate an individual's hearing within six months prior to the purchase of a hearing aid. S^dgs will not be permitted without signed ap­ proval by the examining physician. Prior to the new federal controls, persons could consult a hearing-aid dealer and buy a hearing aid without first visiting a physician. Many hearing-aid dealers provide effective and efficient services to their customers. Others, however, lack the training and* facilities to evaluate properly!;!; an individual's need for a;$ hearing aid.. A national task;-!; force has reported that only;'; about 15 percent of the nearly;!;! 15.000 dealers in this country?: are certified by the Nationally Hearing Aid society. :£• Another section of the new';:; federal controls allows a|* hearing aid buyer to waive thejx m e d i c a l e v a l u a t i o n ^ requirement. The buyer need;:] only sign a statement me­ dicating the desire not to be *! medically evaluated before;!;: purchasing the hearing aid. $ Ms. Moore urges cunsumers;!; to seek medical counsel before;!; buying a hearing aid. She notes,;!; "Some of the causes of hearing ;•; difficulties can be alleviated or ;!; corrected by medical or;!:: surgical treatment. Also, the-;:!: person making that decision, ;;! should be a licensed;!:: physician." If the family doctor is unable.-!;! to make an adequate diagnosis,?!:! an ear specialist (otologist) or;!-! ear, nose, and throat specialist!:!' (otalaryngologist) should be!:!: consulted, she concludes. The McHenry county office;.-; serves all residents of the£; county. It is located at Rt. 47:J and McConnell road in!;-; Woodstock.

Fire extinguishers don't sell like hotcakes: While 95 percent of American homes have television sets, less than 3 percent have fire ex­ tinguishers. No one likes to think that fire will ever strike at their house. But statistics show that this thinking often is faulty. Forefathers kept a fire bucket by the door. Actually, just as locks on the doors are im­ portant to home protection, so is at least one fire extinguisher, particularly where there is no heat or smoke detector in­ stalled. One needn't be intimidated by their seeming complexity. All home fire extinguishers are as simple as A-B-C, and even D, because that's how they are coded and label**. This is code which tellslthe types Are each fights: A - Wood, paper, cloth, and ordinary combustibles. B - Oil, grease, flammable liquids, and combustible gases. C - Energized electrical and electronic equipment. D -- (not ordinarily used in homes) combustible metals. Some extinguishers carry more than one letter because they are designed to fight more than one type of fire. When shopping for one, a person needn't be confused by the number preceding the letter on the code shown on the label. The number indicates the relative size of the fire which the extinguisher is geared to fight. Therefore, a "10-B:C" rated extinguisher can be used on gas, liquid, or electrical fires roughly twice the size of a "5- B:C" faculty. The National Safety council recommends an all purpose extinguisher with a "2B: l0B:C"j*ating as adequate eholc has a gauge will enable one to;; check to see if there is enough;!;! pressure to do the job ef-;!;: fectively, and this gauge should;!;! be checked monthly. The fire;:;! extinguisher purchased should;!;! have a test agency seal on it.!!;! The most efficient fire ex- tinguisher will be of no use in an §! emergency if it's hidden, or the;!-: family doesn't know how to x operate it. Have a trial run with ?;!; the whole family present. For example, one mistake!;!; users make is to aim it at the!;!; flame of a fire, rather than at;;!; the base or root of it. Fire ex-!;!; tinguishers should be installed!;!; in areas where fire is most:;!; likely to occur such as the:;i; kitchen or utility room, but!;!; never on or near furnaces,!;!- stoves, or equipment which';.! couldn't be approached if it'!;! caught fire. Fire extinguishers are;;! portable. They can be used ins­ tants, campers, and at 8 j§lf ' % * Wait Until Later $ • "My, but the horses in the next :; i; race have peculiar names."!;!; "Just wait until you hear what!;!; the losers call them after the$ race: 0 CONSUMER GUIDELINES One minute east of the Trl State.
