HVI-070-1180 Your Police Department by Officer Jim Fitzgerald i 7 \ r Pediatric patient Kristin Ericson, McHenry, listens intently to McHenry hospital's new pediatric puppet show, presented by nurse technicians Elaine Henningfleld (center) and Barb Beden. The poppet theater was donated recently by the hospital's auxiliary, and the show was inaugurated to explain procedures to children who may be anxious while anticipating surgery or an overnight stay in the hospital. You are all aware of all of the new traffic lights around town, and the construction changes which have taken place at some of the in­ tersections to ease the traffic flow. These new lights and road changes have altered the use of the roadway at some intersections, and I think I should share the changes with you. It is now no longer illegal to make a right turn on red on Green street at Elm street from southbound Green street. When the lights were replaced, the sign was removed and not replaced. There will no longer be that long wait or line of traffic past the old bank building and post of­ fice. The right turn cutoff from eastbound Elm street to go south on Front street has now been changed from a yield turn to a stop and turn with the removal of the yield sign. Now, when eastbound Elm street has a red light, you must stop first if you are using the cutoff. You can, Publ ic Relat ions Off icer McHenry City Pol ice Phone 385-2131 however, make a right turn on red. If you are westbound on Waukegan road at Front street, you may only turn right now. It is impossible to turn left to go south on Front street, due to the new raised concrete divider strip in place there. While we are talking about this intersection, here are a few more changes. If you wish to cross Elm street northbound from south of Elm street, you must be in the left-hand northbound lane of Front street to cross Elm street. You cannot cross Elm street northbound from the right-hand northbound lane of Front street at Elm street. This right-hand lane is for right turns only to proceed east on Elm street. The same right-turn-only lane applys to the in­ tersection of Green street and Elm street. To cross Elm street northbound on Green street, you must be in the left-hand, northbound lane only. The right-hand, northbound lane of Green * * * * * * * * * * * * * * street is to be used to turn right, only to proceed east on Elm street and not to go around vehicles waiting to turn to cross Elm street, say, to go to the post office. If you have traveled on Richmond road, in either direction, you will have noticed turn lanes now in existence at Pearl street. If you i are going southbound on Richmond road, there is a new left turn lane at Pearl street. If you are northbound on Richmond road, there is a new right turn lane also onto Pearl street. Also, when using the northbound right turn lane, watch yourselves since there is now an exit onto Rich­ mond road which is on your right side from the new bank building. Also, the bank has an exit onto Pearl street between Green street and Richmond road. Please drive carefully near these new exits; and drivers using these exits also please use caution. Have a nice week.

IL. <>44-UOZ4 Families in Illinois can have an unusual in­ ternational experience in their own homes in 1961. "We are inviting Illinois families to share their daily lives with a student from another country," says Michael Nagle, regional director for Youth for Un­ derstanding International Student Exchange program. "Families, in return, will have the unique opportunity to learn about a different culture through another person's eyes, while deepening their appreciation of their own country by in­ troducing America to someone new," he states. Youth for understanding, a non-profit, nonsectarian, international educational organization has as its purpose "to increase the understanding of people, cutures, and national character: to contribute to the goal of creating a more rational and comprehensible world: to provide an op­ portunity throughout the world for widening circles of friendship." Youth for Understanding stresses family life as the heart of the exchange ex­ perience. "When we place a student from one culture into a family of another, a reciprocal sharing of lifestyles begins," indicates Mr. Nagle. Mr. Nagle states that there are currently 190 Youth for Understanding exchange students living with Illinois families and that these students will be welcoming 45 additional students who will be arriving in Illinois toward the end of January, 1961, for a six-month stay. "Then, of course, ap­ proximately 200 students will be arriving in Illinois toward the end of August, 1981, for a one-year stay. These students will be from 23 countries of the world," Nagle continued. "As you can see, we are throughout the entire year looking for suitable families to host the large number of students that come to Illinois through our program." As to which families might qualify for hosting, Nagle states, "the only requirement for becoming a host family is a willingness to accept a young person from another country into the everyday life of your family, so the student and family members can share an enriching experience. Any family interested in the possibility of hosting a student should call collect (312 ) 832-2177, or write to Youth for Understanding, 1S111 Spring Road, Suite 106, Elmhurst, 111. 60126. Nagle states that he will be happy to put all interested families in contact with their respective local volunteer area representatives. Law For Today... Q.

Assessors Meet For Uniformity Before Jan. 1, the supervisor of Assessments will assemble all assessors and their deputies for con­ sultation and give necess­ ary instructions to produce uniformity in the action of the assessors and their deputy assessors in the county. State Of I l l inois These instructions will be in writing and available to the public. This assembly has been called by Willard J. Hogge, CIAO, supervisor of assessments, for Monday, Dec. 29, at 1:30 p.m. in the County board room, McHenry county courthouse. Calendar, Not Cash Crisis, Dips Funds The end-of-the-month available balance in the state's general funds dipped to $280 million at the end of November, but it was the Thanksgiving holiday - not a cash crisis - that dropped the balance to its lowest point in almost two years. Comptroller Roland W. Burris said the November balance should not be in­ terpreted as a sudden change in the State's fiscal condition but instead simply reflects the fact that State offices were closed the last four days of the month - the two-day Thanksgiving holiday and the adjoining weekend - and incoming revenues could not be deposited. Burris said that the November month-end balance of $280 million was $103 million below last year's balance on the same date and the lowest since the end of January, 1979 ($259 million). The comptroller said that an analysis of the first five months of FY 1961 shows that total general funds revenues were $3,110 billion, $145 million of 4.9 percent higher than the same period last year, though sales tax receipts are down because the loss of revenue from tax relief has not been offset by increased sales. And, Burris noted, total expenditures x from the general funds in the first five months reached $3,220 billion, $248 million or 8.3 percent higher than the same five months one year ago.
