The pressure is lowered even further whenever someone sprinkles. Water is needed for sanitary purposes such as bathing and washing clothes. It's not much fun to jump in the shower and find out that the water is trickling out at a slow pace. Letters have been passed out to the residents notifying them of the situation and on what days to sprinkle. But if the weatherman calls for rain, try to hold off watering the grass.

Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health center staff. This article is "Coping - Suicidal Gestures." Suicidal gestures are an acting out of the suicidal thought, usually with no real desire to die. The desire to make a gesture at suicide is at times overwhelming and is never ignored. As a matter of fact, the suicidal gesture is treated the same as an unsuccessful suicide attempt, even though there is a vast difference in motivation. Typically, there is no dif­ ficulty distinguishing a suicidal gesture from a suicide attempt. The gesture will usually be in the form of a sub-lethal dosage of a drug, superficial cuts on the wrist, or a minor automobile accident. Often the person will inform another of the suicidal gesture and may actively seek treatment from a doctor. The motivation behind the suicidal gesture is usually June 12 will be a big day for Tommy Daurio and Mickey Gladman. Happy Birthday to you all! ANNIVERSARY WISHES John and Mary Lou Pautz will celebrate their tenth an­ niversary June 8. Frank and Therese Sweeney will celebrate their thirty-sixth anniversary June 13. Congratulations!

All three reasons are based on an underlying depression in which the depressed person has been unable to deal with the depressed feelings in any other way. Suicidal gestures are treated in the same way as a more serious suicide attempt because the motivation for the gesture indicates the presence of a severe depression. Treatment of the depression must be undertaken im­ mediately by a trained professional using intensive therapy and possibly medication. Obviously, there are rather dire consequences to repeated suicidal gestures. The person may eventually see suicide as a real possibility and make a serious attempt. Or, the person may make a miscalculation and succeed where "success" is irrevocable. Next: Adjustment to Divorce. Nine scholarships-the most ever awarded in one year-have been announced by Mrs. Harold Schmidt, chairman of the scholarship committee of the Woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, Woodstock. The recipients will receive the $500-a-year scholarships for as many years as their planned education in health care or medically related fields of service requries, Mrs. Schmidt said. Three of the scholarships are for four years, four are for three years and two are for two years. Mrs. Schmidt said counting the thirteen now in training from scholarships awarded earlier, twenty-two people will be receiving scholarship assistance from the Woman's auxiliary scholarship program. That totals $11,000 a year for the 1978-79 scholastic year. The money to finance the scholarship program comes from three sources: year-around by auxiliary volunteers. 3 - Sales from the Gift shop and Snack bar in the hospital, also staffed year-around by volunteers. The main part of the scholarship funds comes from the two auxiliary-staffed shops, summarized Mrs. Schmidt. The 1978 scholarship recipients include seven who plan to enter nurses' training. One wants to become a physical therapy assistant and another plans to become a medical technician. Margaret Sieck, Woodstock, plans to take a two-year course at Southern Illinois university to become a physical therapy assistant. Linda Fritz, Union, wants to take a four-year course at Illinois Wesleyan university, Bloomington, to become a medical technician. Among the seven who plan to become nurses is Vici Switzer, McHenry, three-year program at St. Anthony's School of Nursing, Rockford. a No Use Tuning A housewife called her televi­ sion serviceman and claimed something was wrong with her color set. The repairman asked if there were any describable symptoms. "The news is on now and the anchorman has a very long face," she said. "Madam," replied the serviceman, "if you had to report what's going on these days you'd have a long face, too." 1 - $1 a year from the membership dues of each auxiliary member. 2 - Sales from the Gift and Thrift shop at 208 North Benton street, Woodstock, staffed EARN CERTIFICATES Students from McHenry participated in the recent piano festival which earned them special certificates and pins for performing, by memory, one to fifteen pieces for the judge.
