KStii ^ ^l_h PISTAKEE HIGHUNDS By: Wanda Dobecki and Dolly Novotny Don't forget our association meeting is next Wednesday, May 1. Some important items are on the agenda so now that it's warmer, let's start coming to the meetings and showing we're interested in our community and in improving it. Hie meeting is held at the center at 8 p.m. The executive committee recently met with John Thelen and Mr. Ladd and discussed various vital community problems. Further details of this important discussion will be given at the meeting next week. land avenue are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Heilgeist and sons, Bobby, 4, and Rolf, I. We hope they'll soon have their decorating and landscaping done so they'll be able to enjoy life in the country this year. Last Call For Help We understand the response was Just plain "lousy" to our first call for volunteers to help improve the Community. We only heard of one person showing up. At this writing we do not know how the turnout was last Saturday. There's playground equipment to be put up, piers, rafts and benches to be made for the benches and general improvements on the center. When you wonder why nothing's been done this summer, just think back and ask yourself where you were when they asked for volunteers. Hie time is Saturday from 8:30 to 11:30. Get Set, Go Was the call and the mob of yellin' youngsters really did go at the Easter egg hunt last Saturday. Each egg was worth a prize and some worth special prizes. The able committee in charge saw . that all had a fair chance by dividing them into three age groups. Everyone found their share of eggs and all went home pleased. The Easter Bunny would like to thank all his helpers and all those who donated eggs for him to hide. So Sorry We forgot to print that Mrs. Lillian Oles was appointed councilman for her block a few weeks ago. She has been busy with her duties and deserves recognition. Forgive my absent-minded typewriter. Would You Like to display your culinary arts? Cakes are needed for the "Koffee Klutching" after association meetings., If you would like to take your turn at donating a cake, give Marilyn Van Zevern a call at 2695. Bowling The call is still out for bowlers for next year. The night wili be Wednesday. However, it is still undecided as to whether to start at 7 or 9 o'clock. Those of you who have signed up, please call Marilyn Van Zevern, 2695, or Lor Hurckes, 1339, and let them know your preference. If you'd like to feowl with the league next year, give the girls a ring and they will sign you up. Plastic Patter Pat Jackson entertained fifteen girls on April 15 at her plastic demonstration. Games and refreshments were enjoyed by all and the display of practical plastic items helped add some needed gadgets to all their cupboards. House Numbers We've been seeing quite a few numbers up on houses and mail boxes. It certainly will facilitate matters giving directions. You no longer will have to say it's the pink house next to the white one with green shutters. Hurry up and get your number up if' you haven't already done so. Tanned and Tired After six week's vacation in Hot "Springs were the William Frys. They travelled by car the entire trip and enjoyed every minute, including the mineral baths. Nice to have you back. The George Van Zeverns also looked relaxed and happy after their vacation in Florida and now George can start writing those association checks again. Sounds tiring, doesn't it? Were You There At the polls Saturday, April 13, voting for our local school board nominees? It seems everyone is interested in better schools but very few from Pistakee were interested enough to get out and vote. Local candidates lost. I'ts too bad because all three were qualified, interested people that would have done a good job for our children. Garbage As you all know, an agreement was made with H.O.D. last year to lower the rates, however, part of the agreement was that residents would not use any container over the 26-gallon capacity. There's still a few 55-gallon drums, around the commlinity. Let's try to eliminate these large drums and help the association live up to their pprt of the bargin. It would also facilitate garbage pickup if everyone would burn their papers. There have been a few careless ihdividuals who have thrown garbage on the side of the roads. It takes everyone's effort to make this a community to be proud of. Most of the local Boy Scout leaders and wives were at the annual appreciation banquet held in Woodstock last night. Needless to say, everyone enjoyed the wonderful dinner and everyone enjoyed a night out from their little scouts, but naturally the main topic of conversation was--kids, what else? nite as yet but they- h&ve two places available in McHenry. They are in great need of leaders from our community for the day camp, which lasts five days. There will be a one-day leader^ training course and all mothers are welcome and desparately needed. If you are interested, call Mrs. Schlick, 529-R-l, and she will give you all the information. Boy Scouts Ken Thoren was the only Scout to recently pass all his tests for advancement. He is now a second class scout. Congratulations, Ken, and keep up the good work. The Boy Scouts are in need of assistant leaders to help the pre«- ent leaders and to take the boys on hikes and such. If you could spare a couple of hours a week to help our boys, please call on any of the scouts leaders or association officers and your efforts will be rewarded by much appreciation1. > Optimistic Anglers Have been trying their luck on the ^channels but so far not many reports of any big catches. Feminine fishermen Vi Johnson and her mother, Mrs. Pechous, recently tried their lines but even they failed to lure any fish. Keep trying, anglers. Welcome New residents at 114 N, Wood- Girl Scout News The beautiful eggs the Girl Scouts made were delivered to the McHenry hospital and enjoyed by one and all.

The Ron Jacksons also shared their Easter joy and dinner with their familys. And now that the last bit of ham is gone we are all looking forward to a busy spring of gardening but let's all try to find a little spare time to donate to some of those community projects that w£ mentioned before. If everyone of our 175 paid members of the association donated just one hour a week, just think of the work we could accomplish and the results we would reap. Wipe up those kitchen spills immediately, warns the Institute \ for Safer Living of a leading insurance company. A safe kitchen is a clean kitchen. Anything spilled on the floor is a definite hazard, especially to an older person who is more likely to be seriously injured by a fall. MEASLES CONTAGIOUS DISEASE The seriousness of measles li?s not so much in the 'disease itself as in the complications that may develop with it. While the condition still appears in epidemic p r o p o r t i o n s , f o r t u n a t e l y d e a t h s from it, Usually in the age group under 3, have been greatly reduced, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in HEALTH TALK. Symptoms of measles usually appear from «ten to fourteen days after exposure. Initially they resemble those of the common cold, such as sneezing, and coughing, but they also include the appearance of small bluish-white spots surrounded by an inflamed redness in the mouth. These are called Koplik's spots, named after the late New York pediatrician who identified them. The disease is most contagious when the symptoms resembling the common cold are present. This threat is lessened once' the rash develops, purplish-red hi color, appearing first on the face, then the body trunk and on to the legs and arms. Once the rash is in "full bloom," so to speak, other symptoms disappear gradually. Usually one attack of measles renders a person immune for life. There is no' protective vaccine against measles, although there are certain substances that can be given that will minimize the attack, or sometimes prevent ftp development, if exposure to the disease is a certainty. These substances which are injected are convalescent serum, which is ob-, ONE HOUR CLEANING!

They included infections of the eyes, the hose/and throat, the bronchial tub^and even of the digestive tratft. After the minute virus responsible for measles attacks, other organisms normally present in the body take over. Thus, such germs as the staphylococcus or pneumococcus may launch the respiratory invasion. Because il» is communicable, certain precautions are necessary in the care of the patient with measles. The child must be isolated. All people except the mother or person caring for the child should be kept out of the sickroom. Extreme cleanliness should be observed. All discharges from the sick child's hose and throat should be caught on disposable tissue or cloth and placed in a paper bag pinned to the bed. The bag should be burned, unopened.
