Remembering When JmSm JlBKlfil There have been some changes made, but any old timer will recognise this place of basinets on the northwest corner of Riverside drive and Pearl street as the old McHenry House.

It was on this property that theflrst McHenry county courthouse was built. In 1938-3* the county of McHenry was divided into two parts, and the new county was called Lake. It was thought that McHenry would continue to be the county seat but the people became dissatisfied because It was in the extreme eastern part of the county. During the session of 1M2-43, the Legislation passed an act authorizing the people to select a new county seat.

Kempiners, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, advised consumers who are using heaters which require a light fuel oil to operate, to be sure to use only the fuel recommended by the manufacturer of the product.

(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 & Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is "Coping - Child Care and the Ex­ perts") Anyone who has raised a child has undoubtedly come into contact with a great number of so-called experts who have advice on how to discipline, feed, toilet train, educate, stimulate, talk to, listen to, and play with children There have even been books written on how to outsmart children by "beating them at their own game". Since there are so many experts in the field of child rearing, there will naturally be a considerable amount of disagreement among different authors. On the matter of toilet training, for instance, if you look hard enough you can find authorities that recommend: never, never discipline a child for not keeping dry; always discipline the child for wetting; begin toilet training at a given age; allow the child to train himself; don't put the child on a big toilet; don't use a potty chair The one thing the experts have in common is that unless you toilet train your child by their method, the child will carry the emotional scars to his grave. I recently read a letter in one of the local newspapers complaining about the number of child care experts and the confusion that they generate in inexperienced parents. The author suggested that raising a child "according to the book" results in an artificial atmosphere that cannot be beneficial to the child. Most parents, whether experienced in child rearing or not. do have the capability of providing goods care to their children. Given the fact that the parents care very deeply for their children, most child rearing problems can be handled without the influence of child care ex­ perts. Children are naturally extremely, sensitive to the caring attitude of the parents. As long as this caring is evident to the child, all developmental problems can be solved. If the parents have read a "never" or an "always" in a book, and the advice goes against their natural inclination, this confusion and un- comfortableness will be translated to the child loud and clear. If you are having a really serious problem or question about child rearing, it may be helDful to seek out advice on how to solve the problem. Weigh the advice, perhaps try it, but never lose sight of the fact that the real experts in child care are the parents of the child. COAL CONVERSION Gov. James R. Thompson has authorized the release of nearly $7.5 million in Capital Development bond funds for a coal conversion and conversion feasibility program at 14 state facilities The goal of the endeavor is to lower state fuel costs by reduction of fuel use and substitution of fuel types Marisa Christina...your pick of the knits.
