Q. - "I know what it costs to keep a relative in a nursing home. I pay all the bills for my sister-in-law from her savings. She is 82 and in a nursing home here in the state of Washington that costs 150 a day ($1,500 a month) plus extra for her laundry and up to 190 a month for medication. She nas an income from Social Security and a government annuity that total about $1,000 a month, which goes to the nursing home. "You can see what's going to happen eventually. She will have to go on Medicaid when her savings are exhausted and that will be soon. "My husband and I have been saving all our lives for our old age. We planned on paying our own way but at $100 a day for two of us we can pay our way only for two years. There is something wrong with a system that takes all our money from I$B for care when we get old and then forces us to go on Medicaid. It is fixed so Americans who aren't rich cannot take care of themselves in the long run, regardless of what they save. Yes, $50 a day for nursing home care is too much. I think even $40 a day is unreasonable." - Lucille S. A. - It would seem that investors are getting well paid for use of their money in establishing and main­ taining nursing homes. In all of the nursing homes I have visited I have never discovered one that did not appear to be prosperous. Most were owned and operated by companies whose holdings are spread across the United States and Canada. It isjob- vious they were doing all fight financially. The chain establishments in every case seemed to be charging the highest rates. Some charge as much as $1,800 a month. There are nursing homes operated by religious institutions such as the Bethany Good Samaritan cento- in Brainer, Minn., who charge less than the strictly commercial Institutions; in Bethan's case $43 per day for skilled care, plus $3.50 a month for cable-TV and $5 for a permanent wave. One fact stands out in all con­ sideration of nursing home care, the cost is great, it will not go down and the future for people who want to'pay their own way from savings and in­ vestments is not likely to-come out the way they planned. What was a plan is now a dream that probably will not come true. What all this does is to give elders the idea that there is not much point in working hard to save money when the money will all go to a nursing home for a year or two or three before it is gone. Think what this means to those who possibly will live in a nursing home for as many as 10 years or more. They are going to wind up living on government funds after their own funds are soon used up by the people who started out to take care of them. Whichever way it goes -- care until the savings run out and then care paid for by Medicaid,, or reasonable costs that self-respecting people can afford - something will have to give. Hie government, or churches and private institutions, will have to establish sensible costs for the elderly who are under nursing home care. If you need information or help on oroblems of aging, write to Carl Riblet Jr., P.O. Box 40757, Tucson, Ariz. Questions will be answered in this column when possible. Elementary District 15 Superintendent Dr. Richard Farmer has issued a reminder to parents of school-age children that all students must meet certain health requirements to remain in school. The Illinois legislature have revised the long-standing health statutes by requiring school authorities to ex­ clude youngsters from school at­ tendance who are not in compliance with the health requirements and directing the Illinois State Board of Education to withhold substantial amounts of state aid to school districts that are not enforcing the law. The statute basically requires all pupils to be immunized against certain communicable diseases and take periodic physical exams. The statute applies to all public, private and parochial school students. Exemptions to the requirements may be obtained, in whole or in part, on certain religious or medical grounds. The grounds for religious exemption must be detailed. The exemption must be founded on a religious tenet or practice. General philosophical or moral reluctance to allow immunizations and physical examinations Will not provide a sufficient basis for an exception Jo the statutory requirements. Exceptions to the immunization requirements must be made- on the basis of medical contraindications. If one or more of the required im­ munizations is medically con- trindicated,y the examining physician must record the ex­ ceptions on the examination form to be filed with school authorities. The physical examination must have been conducted within one year prior to enrolling in school for the first time, normally kindergarten or first grade, and again within one year of entering fifth or ninth grades. The health exam must be signed by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches and be on the form prescribed by the State of Illinois. The Illinois Department of Public j Health (IDPH) is charged by the legislature with the responsibility for promulgation of rules and regulations concerning the im­ munizations. Currently, im­ munizations are required for I diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, red measles and German measles. MCHS Band Opens Season Exhibit Antique Tractors McCall's 8173 Recently, the McHenry County Historical Society exhibited its two antique farm tractors at the twenty- seventh annual Steam Show and Threshing Bee, at Sycamore. Both working tractors, a. 1931 John Deere Model D donated by the Clinton Martin family, of McHenry, and a 1939 Ford Model 9N donated by Clarence Lockwood, of Marengo, were on display and were run in the parade of stean engines, gas trac­ tors and other antique machines. The Ford Model 9N was the only one of its kind at the steam show this year. These and other early agricultural artifacts important to the history of McHenry County are on permanent display at the McHenry County Historical Society Museum, in Union. The museum is open on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. through October and Saturday afternoons as well through August. _The combined East and West high schools' bands will make a joint effort as McHenry's Marching Warriors. The field band should number well over 100 this year. A pre-season rehearsal schedule has been set. The members of the percussion are asked to report Wednesday night, Aug. 24, at the West band room. The entire band is -to report Thursday and Friday night at 6 for music rehearsal, and again on Saturday at 9 a.m. for their first field drill. POLICE TICKETS September Sewing Classes now forming...

Kempiners, director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, has announced that grants totalling more than five-and-a-half million dollars have been awarded by the department to 70 local health departments throughout the state.The $5,616,000 is an increase of 5 percent over the Fiscal Year 1983 awards. The grants are awarded to help support, at the local level, 10 basic health programs: administration, food sanitation, safe water supplies, private sewage disposal, solid-waste disposal, nuisance control, chronic disease, communicable disease, maternal health and family planning, and child health. "The grants were increased," Kemptatf* said, 'in order to continue making these services available as they are imperative to the health and well being of Illinois residents."
