i- 4-H On The Move I "atlonaL TV\ p;°9ram ^^******************^***^*1 Begins Next Saturday Ptyns are being finalized for the 4-H Leaders and members awards and recognition banquet to be held Nov. 22. A committee made up of 4-H members, leaders, and Youth council members have been busy making arrangements. These committee members are Peggy Brennecka, Janet Sherwin, Joann Harrison, Shirley Borchardt, Ed Vogts, Barb Meier and Dawn Vogts. The purpose of the banquet is two-fold. First, it is to recognize the 200 4-H leaders in McHenry county for their outstanding work with the 1,200 4-H members. Leaders work as either organizational leaders or project leaders or both. Everyone has a skill, and 4-H leaders put their skills to use in helping "To Make the Best Better." Secondly, the banquet is where nearly sixty outstanding 4-H members receive special awards for their excellent work in more than forty different project areas. Special awards for State outstanding members, Key Award recipients, and the "Dare You Award" winners are also given. The banquet is supported by contributions from businesses, families, 4-H clubs, and individuals. All donors are given the recognition of having their name put into the banquet program if they desire. Businesses Support 4-H Twenty-six McHenry county 4-H clubs received the support of business throughout the county last week as the clubs worked hard to promote 4-H during National 4-H week. The clubs put together window displays and with the cooperation of businesses were able to display them to the public. The top three clubs were chosen by Tom Traush, Woodstock, Kathy Ainger, Harvard; and Connie Stephen, Woodstock, who served as judges for the contest. The number one club was the Cherry Valley 4-H club displayed at Spurgeons in McHenry ; second was the Pleasant Valley .Cornhuskers displayed at Hamer -- Schuh law office in ; Woodstock; and third was the Harvard Prairie Toppers 4-H Club displayed at the Carriage House in Harvard.

This only fans the flames. Smother the flames by wrapping the child in a coat, blanket, rug or heavy material. Call a physician.) Five Saturday mornings during the current school year will probably be especially important to McHenry Com­ munity high school students who are planning to go on to school after graduation. The complete 1975-76 national test date schedule for the ACT Assessment program shows dates (with registration periods in parenthesis): Oct. 18: Dec. 13,1975 (Oct. 20--Nov. 17); Feb. 14, (Dec. 15--Jan. 19); April 10, (Feb. 16-March 15) ; June 12, (April 12-Mafy 17). On those national test dates it takes students about three hours to complete four stan­ dardized exams that make up the test section. The other important section of the ACT Assessment Program is a two- part questionnaire, which is completed by students at home as part of the registration process. Information reports resulting from the test and questionnaire sections are sent to the students and their high school coun­ selors, as well as to colleges designated by the students. The- tests will be given in Crystal Lake. Scouts Set Good Turn Day Good Turn day will be held throughout Kishwaukee district Saturday, Nov. 15, according to Dale McDowell, Scout executive. Good Turn day is a collection of clothing and small household articles for the handicapped clients at Abilities center of Goodwill Industries, who renovate this material in a learning and earning program of rehabilitation. McDowell and his committee expect to gather about forty tons of materials or more on this day. Good Turn day is a national program of Scouting in which about three million boys par­ ticipate annually. They are assisted by thousands of adult volunteer workers as well as service clubs and firms who donate trucks. In the local area an average of 500 handicapped men and women are employed and trained annually in the various operations of Goodwill. The people who smile often have more friends than the people who frown. Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott^ - For many people there is something magical about Fall. Nature gives us a patchwork quilt of beauty, the air turns crisp, harvest abounds, and our expectations build toward holiday seasons tripping over one another: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and the New Year. No wonder children get ex­ cited. And it's fun to share that excitement with them. But it's even more important to remember, at the same time, that an excited child can act with abandon.And at a v time such as Halloween, abandon can lead to danger and tragedy. With this in mind, I would urge you to take these thirteen! precautions to help assure a happier, safer Halloween. • * 1. If your child goes trick-or- treating, accompany him or be certain he is in the company of '378Spor$STb!§'aduir6fi teenager. 2. Remind your child to stay on sidewalks and cross the istrwt only at intersections. Stress the importance of staying out of alleys and } alleyways. Also, remind him not to romp across lawns and gardens. 3. Teach your child not to enter a stranger's home. Or, , better still, to trick-or-treat only at homes of relatives, friends and neighbors you know. Definitely instruct him to avoid the homes of adults who are intolerant of children. 4. Remind your child again of the importance of not getting into a car with strangers. He also should be instructed not to ' join in trick-or-treating with a group of children he does not know. ' 5. Equip your child with a flashlight. (Novelty stores sell inexpensive eerie flaghlights with pumpkin, ghost and witch heads that can make safety .more fun.) 6. Set neighborhood boun­ daries, and a curfew. Be sure your child or the responsible person accompanying him has a watch and is aware of your wishes. j 7. Make your home a "middle ground" stop. This will give your child a chance to un­ wind a bit, as well as "store" his goodies collected so far...so you can inspect them. 8. Give your child a snack or dinner before he goes trick-or- treating, then make it unquestionably clear that he is not to eat any of the goodies he receives until he returns home or until a responsible adult has thoroughly examined them in a well-lighted place. (This is an unfortunate necessity. But, as Q-.yte all have heard, there are some sadistic people in this world who use Halloween as a >time to hurt happy, innocent v children.) i 9. Be certain your child wears r' a fire-resistant ' costume- 10. The costume should be short enough to prevent trip­ ping. And it should be sturdy enough to withstand an active evening. Costumes pinned together with straight pins can present a hazard. Also, don't allow your child to walk about in shoes that are too big: The child can fall; and it's also not good for his feet. 11. As well as equipping your child with a flashlight, make sure his costume is visible to drivers in the dark. Sew glowing tape on it or use a light color cloth. 12. Masks or other disguises shouldn't restrict your child's vision or breathing. 13. Be sure your dressed warmly. child is For the most controlled safety situation on Halloween, It's best to join with your neigh­ bors and friends and have your own Halloween children's party. But when that's not possible, taking the above precautions can leave you more worry-free and offer your child a happier, safer Halloween.
