The performance dates are Sundays, April 13, May 4, and June 1. All per­ formances will begin at 2:30 p.m. Elaine Skorodin will open the series April 13, per­ forming on a violin created by Antonio Stradivari in 1729, one of the world's rarest and most valuable.

Ph.D. psychologist for the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center for McHanry County "Opera" is a shor tened form of the Italian opeYa in musica, meaning "musical work." Smoke coming from the chimney of a house known to be vacant prompted a neigh­ bor to call the Sheriff's police. When the police arrived, they entered the building and foujnd two men. The men were found to be "walkaways" from the Downey Veterans hospital, North Chicago. John Boro, of 4503 W. Crystal Lake road, McHenry, called the police after the windshield of his car had been broken. Boro said he was driving south on Route 31 out of Richmond, "apparently not fast enough to suit the driver behind". The driver of the car behind tried to pass and cut off the Boro vehicle several times, according to the report. When the car succeeded in passing Boro, it slowed and stopped. Three males left the car and tried to open the door of the Boro vehicle. It was locked. One of the men hit, and cracked, the windshield of Boro's car with his fist. The men then drove away. The Sheriff's police also investigated a car stuck in a field off Wilmot road, south of Richmond. John Munson, 18, of 307 John street, McHenry, was ticketed for driving while intoxicated. Bond was set at $1,000. Clifford Jensen, of 902 Plymouth, McHenry, was also ticketed for driving while intoxicated and im­ proper lane usage after Sheriff's police stopped his car. The car had been "driven erratically" according to the report. Robert Buerger, of 4917 Little street, McHenry, called the police when he found that someone had kicked in the right side of his car, bent the antenna and windshield wipers and taken the distributor cap. The car had been parked outside a McHenry tavern. Big Savings If you use large amounts of graced cheese in your cooking, buy grating cheese in blocks and grate it yourself. You'll save half the cost and have double the flavor. Moses-in-the-cradle is the moat common name used for this lohg time favorite house plant. The plant comes from Mexico and is a decendent of the Wandering Jew family. As one of the larger sized, mem­ bers, it is also known as Moses- in-the:boat, Moses-on-a-raft and Moses-in-the-bulrushes. The, leaves are erect, up to twelve inches or more and tfre base grasps the stem in a loose rosette form. The top of the leaves are striped in metallic green and yellow while the undersides are vivid purple. The plant gets it's name from the unusual flowers which are held in "cradles" or "boats",, surrounded by leaves and ap­ pears on each leaf axil on a' short, almost stemless purple bract. The white flowers, hav­ ing three petals, emerge and as they fade away, another flower takes over andv forces the first flower to go back in­ to the bracts. The bracts sup­ ply blossoms over a long peri­ od of time, almost constant blooming. This plant seeds freely and likes a semi-sunny spot in a south, east or west window. Place in a moderately warm room and keep the soil moist but not soggy. To propagate the plant, take tip cuttings about 3 or 4 inches long and root in any damp medium. As the older leaves die and become unsightly, simply cut them off or pull off if loose enough, being careful not to damage the plant. In time new shoots will come out at the base. If the plant becomes spindly, you can renew it by cutting it back and forcing new growth. spurgeon's (Editor's Note: This is the seventh article in the Today's Psychology weekly series of especially written articles for McHenry readers. The topic this week is Modifying Behavior II.) In the last article, I discussed how we often influence people to do things that we wished they didn't do. This week let's examine how this works in more detail so you can easily apply these principles to your own lives. As yeu remember from last week, when a behavior is followed by a reinforcer, that behavior tends to in­ crease and when it is followed by a punisher it tends to decrease. There is also a third process that was not discussed last week. This process is called extinction. Extinction occurs wheil a reinforcer which previously, followed a behavior is with­ drawn. In extinction the frequency of this behavior first increases and then decreases. The following example should make this clear. A child^ias periodic temper tantrums which are reinforced by his parents attention (attention is a powerful reinforcer). The parents, upset about his behavior, seek counseling at their local mental health center. The counselor in­ structs them to ignore the child's bad behavior and to pay attention to him only when he is being good. At first the child's bad behavior will increase as he becomes upset that his expected reward is not forth­ coming. Once he realizes that he can no longer win his parents' approval with this kind of behavior he will stop throwing tantrums. The moral of this story is simple. When you want to reduce an unwanted behavior, look and see what it is that is reinforcing it and then find a way to remove that reinforcer. Remember! What you think may be punishment can actually be a reinforcer. The only real way to tell if a consequence is a punisher or a reinforcer is to watch how it affects behavior. E x p e r i m e n t w i t h removing and giving dif­ ferent consequences and watch the affect; but don't forget that when behavior is undergoing extinction, it will get worse before it gets better. As the old saying goes, "the bulb burns brightest before it goes out". Finally, if after all your efforts there is still no change and the problem is serious, consult a mental health practitioner who may be able to help you find other ways for dealing with the problem.
