Car Titles Issue Counterfeit Proof Certificates A new Illinois certificate of title was issued for the first time recently from the Of­ fice of Secretary of State Alan J. Dixon. Dixon said the new title will continue to be a coun­ terfeit - proof, security document, printed on bank note paper, with lamination, intaglio borders and latent images. This new computerized and fully automated title is the first to meet all specifications of the American Association of Motto- Vehicle Ad­ ministrators and the National Auto Theft Bureau, Dixon said. "Computer-printed titles not only look better," Dixon said, "but they all are printed alike and are more difficult to alter.*' He sai<f' that' the old titles were merely processed copies of the applications as filled out by the motorist. The system features a new VIN (vehicle identification number) edit system which checks numbers on all major makes of cars and trucks manufactured since 1970. Vehicle information on titles is -passed through LEADS (Illinois Law En­ forcement Administration Data System) and NCIC (National Crime In­ formation Center) to check for stolen vehicles. Of the first 6,000 titles checked, six Urban Sprawl Continues In the Midwest and Nor­ theast, urban areas are eating up some of the best farmland in the world. In Illinois the annual loss is about 100,000 acres. Downstate, But Not Backwoods f. Professors in medical schools and graduating doctors must come to realize that downstate Illinois is not a backwoods area forgotten by time, says a Paris, 111., surgeon. The surgeon said that small communities which must "buy" a doctor with money may not be pleased with the type of physician they obtain. However, one medical school is trying to change distorted attitudes about downstate Illinois. Southern Illinois University School of Medicine is working on a program to entice its graduates to locate in rural Illinois communities.

For children with disabilities these op­ portunities are just as im­ portant. But they have special needs that must be met if camping experience is to be beneficial, according to Cheryl Van Zandt, executive director of the Easter Seal Soceity for McHenry county. While there is a trend toward integrating han­ dicapped children into regular camps for able- bodied children, there are specialized camps which accept children with various types of handicaps and others for children with a specified disability. To select an appropriate camp, parents should first determine the child's needs and whether he or she is ready for a week or two separation from home, or whether a weekend or short, term camp should be tried first. The severity of the child's disability is also a factor in deciding whether to enroll in a special camp where the program is geared to individual needs and abilities. Here are some other tips from your Easter Seal society for investigating and choosing a camp for a child with a handicap: Ask if the camp is ac­ credited by the American Camping association (ACA), and, if so, whether standards applying to special campers have been used. The National Easter Seal society has worked with the ACA to develop standards for camps accepting people with disabilities. ACA ac­ creditation assures that the camp meets recognized requirements for safe and healthful operations. Talk with the director to determine his training and experience. It's a good idea, too, to ask about the return rate of campers and get names of parents to learn what their experiences were. Check on the camp's health and safety procedures and facilities. For example, is there a resident registered nurse and is emergency tran­ sportation available? Look into the number of campers by age group and disability. If there is a wide range, it probably means the program will be too generalized to challenge a child to his maximum. Check on the training and orientation of counselors in handling disabled campers' specialized needs. If the camp has a tie-in with a professional school, or if counselors receive college credit, these are pluses. The return rate of coun­ selors is also an indicator. An extremely low rate is a bad sign. Also see about the ratio of male to female counselors, since children need role models of both sexes. For severely disabled youngsters, the ratio of counselors to campers should be one to every three or four children. A visit to the camp is recommended to observe the quality of its maintenance, and the accessibility of in­ door and outdoor facilities. It is advisable to eat a meal at the camp and look ovef the menus. If cereal, peanut butter sandwiches and hot dogs are served every day, parents may want to look elsewhere. It is also important to know the variety of daytime and evening activities and whether campers are given choices about what they will door if activity participation is highly structured! Many handicapped children have had little opportunity to make choices and need this experience. Others can benefit from learning that living with a group sometimes limits choices. Your Easter Seal society for McHenry county has a manual entitled, "The Easter Seal Directory of Resident Camps for Persons with Special Health Needs." It is a Program services publication of the National Easter Seal society. If specific camp information is needed, call your local Easter Seal center at 815- 1707 for referral. .
