Despite gasoline costs, the popularity of recreational vehicles is only off slightly with some 525,000 new motor homes, truck campers and camping and travel trailers making their way to market annually. If you are planning a trip in your recreational vehicle, you should check your in­ surance coverages as well as the mechanical condition of the vehicle, says the In­ surance Information in­ stitute. Basically, the same essential insurance coverages you buy for your automobile are a wise and necessary investment for your motor home or travel trailer. These coverages include: Bodily injury liability and property damage liability - protection against legal liabilities you may incur for injury to others or damage to other people's property. Minimum limits for this coverage are subject to the financial responsibility laws of individual states. Medical payments - this differs from bodily injury liability insurance in that it pays medical expenses for family members and other passengers in your vehicle. Payment is made without having to determine who is at fault. Collision-Comprehensive - this pays for damages to your vehicle from collision or upset, theft, fire, wind, hail, glass breakage and vandalism. Uninsured motorist - this covers bodily injury costs sustained by you, members of your family and guests riding with you when your vehicle is struck by a hit- and-run driver or by an uninsured motorist who is legally liable for the ac­ cident. In addition to these basic coverages, some companies offer recreational vehicle owners an additional in­ surance package to provide reimbursement for the following: ...coverage for your personal belongings carried in the vehicle. ...additional expenses for temporary living facilities, alternate transportation home and-or the cost of returning the vehicle if it is damaged or destroyed while you are more than 50 miles away from home. ...towing and labor charges following vehicle breakdown. ...damage to awnings or other structures used with or attached to your motor home. ...clean-up costs charged by a fire department following a fire involving your vehicle. ..Liability for bodily in­ jury or property damage which happens to other people which occurs in or on the vehicle. As most recreational vehicles are the second or third vehicle a family owns, most ckivers use their units only for a portion of the year--a weekend here and several weeks there. Many insurance companies therefore offer coverage flexible enough to reflect individual travel cir­ cumstances. If, like most recreational vehicle owners, you use your unit for only three months during the year, your premium cost is based upon that period of use. Insurance on your unit, however, is in force for the whole year. If you estimate that you are on the road for half of the year your insurance cost will be more than the three- month rate, but still less than if you plan to be traveling all the year. m .I«M- rii < wii> staff psychologist ne»s liom the Famiii Service "»nui Health Clinic ot McHenif County.

The survey is conducted throughout the U.S. every year to provide information on immunization against measles, influenza, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, rubella and mumps needed for adminstration of health programs geared to disease prevention. These health questions are in addition to the usual ones asked in the monthly survey on employment and unemployment conducted nationwide by the Bureau for the U.S. Department of Labor. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - The Adopted Child.") From the time that an adopted child realizes what the word "adopted" means, he begins to build up a fantasy image of what his "real parents" were like. This is certainly a healthy reaction and should in no way be discouraged by the adoptive parents. This is sometimes no easy matter, as the adoptive parents feels like the child's "real parents", and may have strong feelings, perhaps even feelings of rejection or jealousy, when the child wants to know more about the natural parents. Some adopted children develop the feeling that the "rdal parents" would be more fair, or have more money, or have a bigger house. These feelings will be more prevalent, of course, when the child is being disciplined and he will quickly learn to use this to his advantage if the parents permit these fantasies to bother them. It is best to resist the temptation to tell the child how very lucky he is to be with his present parents and not with his natural parents. By far, the best approach is to answer the child's questions about his natural parents as completely apd as honestly as possible in language that the child can understand. Surprisingly few adopted children are determined to find their real parents. In some cases this is possible if the adopting agency has kept adequate records. Certainly it should not be permitted by the adoptive parents until the child has reached late adolescence and then only by making sure that the child is prepared for a possible difference between fantasy and reality. ! • Also, the child must realize that the natural mother gave birth eighteen or nineteen years ago and may have a marriage and family of her own. As the child was probably illegitimate, the natpral parent or parents may not be prepared to face this child after all those years. EMERGENCY LOANS The Farmers Home ad­ ministration (FHA) has declared 79 Illinois counties emergency loan areas to provide assistance to far­ mers with damaged crops, Gov. Thompson announced. Director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture John Block requested the declaration to compensate farmers who lost crops due to extreme heat and drought conditions from July 3 through Aug. 18. Ap­ plications are being ac­ cepted by the 45 FHA offices serving the 79 counties. Farm operators have until May 26, 1961 to apply. Pregnant, NEED HELP?
