Many people are trying new food6 today to keep their budgets within bounds. A thrifty homemade meal features savory Chicken-Yam Stew. You've never made Chicken-Yam Stew? It's easy with the recipe included here. The browned chicken is combined with savory vegetables and dried basil, and then golden moist yams, now in good supply from North Carolina, are added in quarters and cooked with the chicken until both are tender. What an interesting hearty main dish to wake up the family appetite. The United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association advises that the way to choose best quality yams at market is to look for those with smooth unscarred skins, firm texture, and a clean bright appearance. Chicken-Yam Stew 1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut in serving pieces 11/2 teaspoons salt, divided 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 onion, sliced 1 cup diagonally sliced celery 2 cups water 4 yams, pared and cut in quarters tomatoes, peeled and chopped 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil Sprinkle chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Melt butter in large kettle, add chicken and brown on all sides. Add onion and celery; cook until vegetables are tender. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, or until chicken and yams are tender. Serve with fresh broccoli, if desired. Makes: 4 servings.

Ky 40602) Peter Hellies & The McHenry Ceunty Defenders AGREE Septic Sludge Disposal is a Problem in McHenry County. Peter M. HelliQS of Wonder Lake called the Defender s attention at a recent Board Meeting, to the health hazards and environmental harm resulting from the uncontrolled dumping of septic tank pumpings in McHenry County. According to Hellios, over one half (66.000) McHenry Countians live on septic systems. He identified 17 septic tank pumpers in McHenry County, none of which have approved disposal sites. The usual practice is to dump the pumped material on farm land or other low use sites which are often very poor locations to receive this undesirable material The Defenders agreed that this is a problem as some members are aware of unsafe septic pumpage disposal ac tivities in their own neighborhoods. The problem is particularly bad in winter and early spring when nothing can be done to cover or disk in the remaining solids once the liquid portion has soaked away Adjacent to McHenry County in Wisconsin and in Lake County this problem has been solved by requiring all sep tic tank pumpers to have approved disposal sites. Hellios reported that he studied the Illinois EPA and State Department of Public Health laws and, if McHenry County wanted to. it could control the problem here. The State pre-empts local authority and the first step would be to obtain a delegation of authority from the State This problem was brought to the attention of both the County Board of Health and the County Board in previous years but for various reasons the problem has not been resolved except that the Health Department was to take care of properly reported environmental health problems Hellios wants a more positive program of licensing the pumpers and allowing them to use only approved safe disposal sites. All wastes not only septic pumpings should be disposed of properly, he stated. This includes commercial and household refuse and industrial wastes * The Defenders agreed this is a serious matter which falls within our sphere of interest, and appointed a Board Member to follow the developments and report back what needs to be done and any progress made. They congratulated Hellios on his efforts and encouraged him to continue to pursue this matter until it is satisfactorily resolved.

VOTE NOVEMBER 7 Strong*/ Attend Dinner Dance by Gerry Johnson Nursing A Way Of Life The statement "a wom­ an's work is never done," couldn't be truer in the case of 82 year old Mrs. Marye King of Sherman, Texas--a nurse who loves her work. ' Never tiring of the many demands placed upon her in the course of a day, Mrs. King's love and concern for her patients is manifested in everything she does. "I've spent about 50 years of my life as a nurse," Mrs. King told a writer from the National Council on the Aging. "I know these people and they need me. I can't refuse them when they call." When Mrs. King and her husband moved to Sherman in 1923, she worked at sev­ eral nursing homes before joining the staff of Commu­ nity Hospital where she's been dispensing her special brand of nursing for the past 26 years. Mrs. King does not feel that working 8 hours a day ends her responsibilities as a nurse. She sometimes works double shifts in the pharmacy and as a private nurse to a homebound pa­ tient. "Nursing isn't something 1 have to do. I do it because 1 enjoy helping others. I love them and they love me and we have a beautiful un­ derstanding," Mrs. King said. "However, there are times when things are so hectic I get exhausted. But, 1 always get an extra burst of energy then that gets me through what has to be done." When not at the hospital, M rs. King runs errands for the patients and often takes their clothes home to wash and mend. "Some of the pa­ tients have no family and no one to care for them." she said. "I try to help by mak­ ing things a little easier for them and they really appre­ ciate it." After Mrs. King's hus­ band died in 1939, she re­ tired from nursing to care for her ailing mother. In or­ der to supplement her in­ come. as well as pass the time, she made hats, bags and afghans and sold them to friends. FORMAL WEAR RENTALS for ALL OCCASIONS !>eii SStoual 1214 N. Green St.. McHtW? After her mother's death at the age of 92, she realized that retirement was "for the birds" so she returned to work. Having tried to retire on four different occasions, it's obvious that Mrs. Kinp pre­ fers working to taking it easy. Ill be working for a while yet," said. Mrs. King. "As long as they call me and I'm able to go, I will." A DOCUMENT called "Proof of Age" is available from the U.S. Bureau of the Census for people who never received a birth certi­ ficate or have lost theirs. The Census Bureau needs a written request to search the census record, along with your date and place of birth and parent's names. The bureau also asks for the addresses where a person was living during the first two censuses taken after his or her birth. The names of other persons who were liv­ ing in the house at that time as well as the name of the head of household are also helpful in the search. The document is accepted by state and Federal agen­ cies and by virtually all of private industry as proof of age. Persons needing this doc­ ument can write to: Per­ sonal Census Service Branch, Bureau of the Census, Pitts­ burg, Kansas 66762. * • • MANY AMERICANS must have their blood pres­ sure monitored but cannot afford the cost of medical office visits. Here are two alternatives to consider: Most cities have health de­ partments that will refer people to clinics or hospitals that offer free or low-cost programs. Ask specifically for clinics that give blood- pressure tests. Consider buying a home kit that measures your blood pressure. Because it tends to be awkward to take your own blood pressure, find a friend who also needs the service. Monitor each other and split the expense of the machine.
