WED. SEPT. 24, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 11 HOSPITAL-COLLEGE PLAN OUTLINED (Continued from page 1) type environment, a large hos­ pital with modern facilities and equipment. They also like to 'utilize their professional ex­ perience to teach. "We visualize how this type of development could advance to a medical training center in conjunction with a Univer­ sity of Illinois College of Med­ icine program for medical stu­ dents," said Corcoran. "If a regional hospital of an initial 350 beds is not con­ structed in the next decade, citizens in McHenry county will be faced with a crisis in terms of personnel .to staff present hospitals--both regular skilled employees and doctors," Cor­ coran continued. , "One logical reason for the Tri-City hospital to emerge is because the Hospital Planning Council for Metropolitan Chi­ cago has asserted it will ap­ prove subsequent major con­ struction by any of the three associations only In conjunction with the other two com­ munities." The proposed site is within two miles of the population cen­ ter of the county. It is also near the center erf a triangle which will be formed by three free­ way highways under planning now by state road authorities: Fox Valley Freeway, the Har­ vard-North Chicago freeway and the third which will be about a mile north of McHenry. While these are not in im­ mediate construction stages, they foreshadow rapid popula­ tion growth in the county. These freeways will provide proper transportation to the vicinity of the hospital, including from the northwest and west where Woodstock, Harvard and Mar­ engo citizens would travel. Fox Valley Freeway engineers feel the traffic would be so heavy the hospital would need its own entrance. Development of the hospital and junior college at a single site would avoid du­ plication of expenses in road­ ways, sewer and water facilit­ ies,' and site development, con­ tinued Corcoran. "A regional hospital would e- liminate duplication of equip­ ment found in smaller hos­ pitals. It would eliminate du­ plication of skilled employees already in short supply and re­ duce operating overhead costs." Concluded Corcoran: "A re­ gional hospital for the Tri- Cities would have the ability to provide all services needed for patient care. It would at­ tract physicians to this area and keep those we have. Ac­ celerated growth for this area shows the need for the kind of planning represented in the pro­ posal given the junior college last November and updated Sept. 2. End result would be better health care, and a fine op­ portunity for young people to be­ gin a career in one of many health care fields. We would train our own staff members and replacements." Health services far beyond the scope provided in today's regular small town hospital would be included in this re­ gional plan. They would include extended care, psychiatric aid and rehabilitation care, for ex­ ample. ST. MARY'S CHURCH CELEBRATES JUBILEE (Continued from page 1) capacity of assistant pastor, and more recently as pastor for a total of seventeen years, was again guest of honor at an af­ ternoon program. In his role as master of ceremonies, Fred Meyer re­ called highlights of Fr. Baum- hofer's life of service, par­ ticularly in the McHenry com­ munity. Not the least of these was his conversion of more than forty persons during his years as assistant. Another highlight was the period during which he acted as leader and coordinator of the county's first Catholic high school, Marian Central, in the late '50s, before his return to St. Mary's as pastor in 1960. Three years later he was hon­ ored by election to the Inter­ national Legion of Honor, Cath­ olic Order of Foresters. Thfe afternoon program again featured the lovely voices of the choir. Crowds gathered in the church again at 5 o'clock for the concelebrated Mass of Ju­ bilee, for which the Most Rev. Arthur J. O'Neill, D.D., was principal celebrant. Bishop O'Neill addressed those attending the Mass. Edward Buss served as com­ mentator and the honor guard was composed of Fourth degree members, Knights of Columbus. Further recollections of the proud history that belongs to the parish were brought to mind again at the diamond jubilee dinner served at 7 o'clock at the V.F.W. clubhouse, with Mr. Meyer again serving as M.C. He provided a history of the church, recalling in particular the out­ standing work of the late Msgr. CJS. Nix in his long pastor­ ship. He also spoke of the con­ tributions of the many assis­ tant pastors and gave special recognition to the young men and women from the parish who through the years completed their theological studies in the seminary and convent. IN KINDERGARTEN Average klndergartners -- not just the gifted -- aren't too young to learn. This was the finding of a special stepped-up reading program, federally-supported, in Den­ ver, Colo.

He stalled until a util­ ity company employee left the phone, then told Mrs. Czech- owski to go into the back room and lie down, warning that she should not try to call anyone for at least five minutes. After he left, she hurried to thfe back room and looked in the parking lot but could not see the thief.

We hope our many readers saw their picture in the Sept. 17 issue of the Plain- dealer and expressed their own thanks to this group of devoted women. It is only fitting that trib­ ute should be paid to them at the Oct. 15 luncheon. KAF Girls Select Fashions For Busy Lives Diligent in the classroom, active on the playground, busy with a multitude of after-school interests, includ­ ing homework -- that's the grade school girl now. ,v Her more mature, more so­ phisticated attitude to all her activities includes a special concern for fashion. What she wears is right in tune with current trends, styled sometimes to copy Mother, and sometimes to set the pace for the grown-up girls. Of c&irse, what she wears is also styled specifically to meet her needs, and to adapt well to the whole range of her activities. Lively and fashionable, her wardrobe choices include such classics as corduroys, plaids and prints. She ap­ proves the current gypsy look, interpreted for flier in paisleys, Serais, calicps and gingham..- Wide wale and thick-and- thin wale corduroys are part of her grade school fashion news, and she sets the pace in styles that employ the no- wale corduroys, with classic plushy texture but without the classic ribbing. Leathers and knits, in the forefront of fashion for all, take an important part in her classroom wardrobe. She es­ pecially notes the sweater dress, in ribbed knits with turtle necklines, and enjoys leather accents for all her fashions. Traffic Safety Begins Here for Millions of Children Parents9 Show How to Walk "Safety first," that gold­ en rule, should start be­ fore school. Parents can best guide a child in safe walking practices by walking the route to school with him, perhaps several times, in advance of the first school day. The child should be shown the safest -- not necessarily the shortest-- way to school, and in­ structed in all safety rules for crossing streets. ON DUTY "ON THEIR OWN," SCHOOL SAFETY Patrol members take responsibility for safety of schoolmates. Each Patrol member performs his duties from curbside and may not attempt to direct traffic. Manuals produced by the American Automobile Association help him learn traffic safety precautions. Patrols Get Ready For Crossing Duty, Ask Drivers' Help Wearing their familiar Sam Browne belts, boys and girls of the School Safety Patrol will soon be taking their places at school crossings across the nation -- thus symbolizing safety for millions of children. Since the School Safety Patrol began in the early 1920s, under the sponsorship of school and police officials and rep­ resentatives of American Automobile Association motor clubs, community after community has reported no traffic fatalities in school areas for periods of 10, 15, 20 and even 30 years. Playing a Vital Part Safety Patrol boys and,girls number nearly one million in more than 50,000 schools, protecting the lives of more than 25 million children. Safety specialists say the Patrols have played a vital role in reducing the traffic fatality rate for those in the 5-14 age group by over half during the past 40 years. Boys and girls who serve on the Patrols are ordinarily selected from upper grades. They are outstanding stu­ dents. The Patrol member is asked , to be punctual and pay strict attention to duty. The safety of schoolmates is his respon­ sibility during volunteer duty. Courtesy and caution are the keynotes guiding each student during his Patrol, duties. Patrol members are instructed to wait for a good break in traffic before per­ mitting children to cross the street. Where traffic is controlled by a police officer, the Patrol member directs children in conformity with the signal of the policeman. Need Cooperation When they are on their own, Patrol members post themselves so that they are clearly visible to approach­ ing traffic. When it is safe, the Patrol member directs children across the street. He does not leave the curb at any time and does not at­ tempt to direct traffic. Thus the ability of Safety Patrol members to protect children depends to a large extent upon the voluntary cooperation df motorists.v Parents and other drivers are urged to drive with in­ creased caution in school zones -- and to be especially careful when they spot the Safety Patrol belt and badge, a clear indication that youngsters are on the streets, on their way to or from school and home. Toward the close of the school year, many cities pub­ licly honor the faithful serv­ ice of their youthful traffic safety patrolmen.

Mitchell, manager, Air-Age Education Division, Cessna Aircraft, Wichita, Kan. ON THEIR OWN Mostly on their own, thou­ sands of youngsters in 100 schools in 28 states learn math and reading through a Federally-supported program of "Individually Prescribed Instruction." For millions of youngsters, going back to school means mounting a bicycle and wheeling away. To these youngsters, traffic safety has a special meaning. Their own safety, and that of others, often depends on the . operating condition of the bicycle and on their knowledge of good bicycling practices. In addition, good techniques make bicycling more fun, and a well-main­ tained bike is easier to ride. Some basic rules for the back - to - school pedal-push­ ers are suggested by the Bi­ cycle Institute of America. Observe all traffic regula­ tions, red and green lights, one-way streets and stop signs. Keep to the right and ride in a straight line with traffic. Have a white light on the front, and see that batteries are fresh. A rear reflector should be visible 300 feet, and a loud signaling device should be installed. Riders should give pedes­ trians the right-of-way and stay off sidewalks. Never hitch rides on other vehicles, and never carry riders or packages that ob­ struct vision or prevent proper control of the bike. Brakes should be operating efficiently, and can be tested BEFORE BICYCLING back to school, riders should check bike performance, and brush up on good bicycling techniques, ad­ vises Bicycle Institute. easily. Hand signals should be used when coming to a stop or turning.
