Fractures Are Common Of all persons admitted to hospitals for injuries from accidents, poisonings, or violence, one-third are admitted for fractures, according to information in the 1962 edition of Accident Facts, a statistical analysis of accidents published by the National Safety council. Fractures are also the most common injury for all age groups and are particularly noteworthy for persons aged 65 years and over, causing 54 percent of their hospital visits for accidents, ac­ cording to a 1978 (latest year) study by the U.S. Public Health service. Real Estate Facts Selling a home is a complex tran­ saction that takes time, effort and expertise. Even so, more and more people are trying to save money by attempting to sell their home them­ selves and asking what are the benefits from using a real estate agent. The benefits are numerous - for example: A real estate professional: - Knows the current real estate market and can help you set a realistic, competitive price. - Is familiar with the local home loan market, knows if seller assistance is necessary and can in­ form you of the various types of financing that can help expedite your sale. - Knows how to'add sales appeal to your home at low or moderate cost. - Knows where to find prospective buyers. Most homebuyers prefer to work with a real estate agent and serious prospects are "pre-qualified" as to their ability to buy and their interest before they are shown through your home. - Frees you from the problems associated with showing your home. Your agent handles all phone inquiries, makes appointments, does the actual showing and follows up. Your time is your own and your home is not exposed to anyone who has not been pre-qualified; - Is a skilled salesperson who knows how to merchandise your home ef­ fectively. -- Maintains objectivity in responding to possible criticisms by the buyer and in presenting offers and counter-offers until an agreement is reached. - Knows how to help the buyer go about obtaining a mortgage loan. - Can familiarize you with the closing procedures by explaining them all in advance and usually at­ tends the closing with you. Not all real estate brokers and agents are realtors. Realtors are real estate professionals who are mem­ bers of the National Association of Realtors and subscribe to its strict code of Ethics. To be sure you're working with one, look for the federally registered membership mark. Hospice Concept Grows Through McHenry County National Hospice week has been proclaimed for the week of Nov. 7-14. Hospice is a concept of care for people who are terminally ill. The two main goals of Hospice care are to relieve pain and other symptoms associated with illness, and to provide supportive care to the patient and family. Treatment is planned to keep the patient as free from pain as possible while remaining alert and lucid. The patient's emotional and spiritual needs are also a key part of the treatment plan. Family members are taught how to provide care and to cope with the illness and its effects. The family continues to receive help and support during the bereavement period as they adjust to the loss. If the patient cannot remain at home, a homelike " atmosphere is provided in the hospital where family members, including children, visit freely. The Hospice for McHenry county began in February as an informal network of people who shared a mutual concern for care of the ter­ minally ill. In May, a board of directors was established to begin to formulate plans and policy for spreading the Hospice concept in our communities. The Hospice will be a non-profit organization relying heavily on volunteer participation and con­ tribution. For the first year or so, it will focus on forming a homecare program and on networking with existing services. During the months ahead, leaders will be planning the mode of operations, volunteer requirements, and funding needs. Actual patient care is a long way off. The Hospice intends to maintain communication, through newsletters and the press to inform the public of progress. Those interested in more in­ formation may contact the Hospice for McHenry County, P.O. Box 835, Woodstock, 111., 60098. JOHN F.

This impressive evergreen has long, large and leather­ like green leaves, somewhat violin-shaped, on short leaf stalks. Like most tropical plants, the banjo fig should not be placed in direct sunlight or near sources of heat. Place instead in a well-lit location not subject to temperature changes brought about by the frequent opening and closing of doors. Room tem­ perature should be SO de­ grees F. or higher. Unless you are a pro, it's best to buy a banjo fig already potted in leaf-mould or or- M >#• dinary soil mixed with leaf- mould and sand. Excessive moisture can harm the plant, causing leaves to turn yellow or drop. It's best to let the plant water it­ self by placing the pot in a * McHENRY GOLD RUSH - I REPORT GET A FREE PROSPECTORS CARD FOR BRINGING IN A WEATHERPROOR CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT to any participating McHenry Gold Rush business for the Gold Christmas Tree in Pearl Street Park and possibly win GOLD yourself!!
