3W I r* -tv '«v" jkvV RIVER MEMORIES I remember the River of my youth whose shores my eyes will never see River of memories, far away. I remember seeing picturesque ruins of olden-day castles, dreaming of riotous history, resounding with chatter of tourists instead of the clamor of arms. • I remember hearing stories and songs of a beautiful siren, crooning on treacherous rocks, confusing foolhardy fishermen and luring them to their destruction. I remember watching the silvery River through rose-colored glasses one day in the loveliest spring, an exciting season of promises. In autumn the river was gray again. I still remember the River of my youth whose shores my eyes will never see again. River of memories, far away. Ingeborg Aide Annual Observance Of Family Day August 14 PAGE 9 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, M71 The ninth annual observance of Family day will be held Sunday, Aug. 14, throughout the United States, and Canada, according to Chuck Larson, president of the Kiwanis club of McHenry.' Family day is suggested, jointly, by Kiwanis International and Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge. Theme for this year's ob­ servance, the Kiwanis president said, will be "Family Responsibility .. The Strength of Nations." He said that Family day will seek to dramatize family solidarity, and pritte, as the greatest deteroents of all to the upsurge in crime which is currently facing the United States and, Canada. He said observance of Family Day, this year, will be an extension of the Kiwanis Safeguard Against Crime program, now under way across North America. In announcing Family day for 1977, Larson called on all citizens of McHenry to join in, emphasizing that Family day is by no means "just a Kiwanis program." Some of the activities suggested are individual family reunions, Sunday church going by entire families, group picnics, banquets, and bar­ becues, the gathering of ethnic groups, family work on genealogy (as popularized by the television series "Roots"), parades, poster and essay contests based on paintings or drawings showing typical Family day activities, com­ munity-wide selection of a community "Family of the Year," Family day sermons, and the like. Family day was originally begun in the late 1960's with a proclamation by President Lyndon B. Johnson. It received the immediate approbation of civic, church, governmental, educational, and labor leaders. Through the years, the Kiwanis president said, Family Day has grown in outreach and in ef­ fectiveness. Senior Hot Line Commission Seeks Use H i V ,'f» o< (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) *t Q. I have been hearing about the Crisis Intervention program and that it has to do with utility bills. Can you give some more information on this subject. A.' The Crisis Intervention program is one of the two component parts of. the federally funded Emergency Energy Conservation program . The program is designed to lessen the impact of the high cost of energy to the elderly, poor and near poor. Q. How can I apply for this program? A. The elderly have priority and they should contact the closest Area Agency or Com­ munity Action center. The money is available for past heavy utility bills. Applications must be filed with the agencies by Aug. 31, 1977. Q. What information do I need to prove I am eligible? A. People need to prove that their shelter costs last winter were in excess of 40 percent if they are homeowners or 35 percent if they are renters. Cancelled checks or receipts CM* toe used as proof. Also, the level of their income must be below the specified amounts according to family size. For example, a family unit of two people should show a non-farm income below $4,913 or a farm family income of below $4,200. A family unit of three should show a non-farm income below $6,113 or a farm income below $5,213.

In recent centuries, watch move­ ments have been made of steel. Now. a West German chemical company has developed plastic movements and a Yugoslav reportedly whittled a wooden watch movement that keeps reasonably accurate time. Northeastern Illinois, must find new ways to make the region a place where all residents can fulfill their: economic, social and recreational needs, the Nor­ theastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) is saying in proposed new policies, now receiving wide public review. A NIPC task force developed the commission's first set of "human resources" policies. The task force contended that the people who live and work in northeastern Illinois are the region's greatest resources and therefore their needs should be addressed. Another commission task force, headed by members Elizabeth McLean and Roger McReynolds, developed a set of recreation policies geared to increase the individual's choice of recreational activities and to provide a greateV balance of recreational activities within the region. "If the commission is to conduct regional planning in the purest sense, then it must begin to look at the economic, social and recreational needs of its residents," said Matthew L. Rockwell, NIPC's executive director. "To accomplish this, regional planning at NIPC must integrate the physical planning arena with the human one." The new human resources and recreation policies would be added to the region's comprehensive General plan if they are approved. The comprehensive plan is used by the commission to advise local governments on planning and development matters, and to review ap­ plications for federal grants from agencies and govern­ mental bodies in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties. ^American Viewpoints A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best.
