Easter Seal Drive Funds Must Double 1958 To Carry On Work SHOP IN McHENHY TAX COLLECTIONS • McHenry's sales tax collection in January, based on the December, 1958, sales, totalled third highest in the county, $35,790.34. Woodstock collected $46,915.38 and Crystal Lakie was second with $40,176.69. O t h e r c o l l e c t i o n s i n c l u d e d R i n g w o o d , $ 5 3 5 . 1 8 ; S p r i n g Grove, $1,120.97; Island Lake, $321.02; Wonder Lake, $lt- 837.21; Johnsburg, $1,103.99; Sunnyside, $192.60. If the McHenry county therapy center in Woodstock is to continue its expanded service, in its own quarters, the funds raised during the current Easter Seal campaign must at least double those of last year. This statement was issued during a joint interview with Mrs. Ruth H. Jacobs, chairman of the 1959 Easter Seal drive, and Harry C. Kinne, president of the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Association for the Crippled, under whose direction the Therpy Center is run. "Residents of McHenry county are fortunate to have the r,icilities of their own therapy center so close by," said Mr. Kinne. "The closest other place '(>;• therapy treatments is in Elgin." , "We now have our own building," continued Mr, Kinne, "which means better facilities. We now have two full-time registered therapists instead of one, which means better service. But it alscf means our expenses have more than doubled. Consequently, the funds raised during this drive must be doubled. Varied Treatment In answer to a question concerning the types of disabilities treated at the center, Ivlrs. Jacobs answered: "Practically everything, including multiple sclerosis, paralysis, arthritis and bursitis, post-polio, cerebral palsy, nerve injuries,fractures and sprains. "However, one thing should be clearly understood," she explained, "the therapy center does not prescribe treatments. The patient's doctor must prescribe the treatmen t. i"he charge for such treatments averages $1 per treatment, with a maximum charge of $3 per treatment. However, if a patient is unable to pay, the treatments are administered without charge." Free Equipment Mr. Kinne and Mrs. Jacobs also enumerated the many kinds of equipment the center loans to anyone needing it, which' includes crutches of every size and kind, adjust and child-size walkers, steam packs for home use, porta-lifts and exercise boards. "The McHenry county therapy center belongs to every resident of the area. Important, needed work is being performed there. Most of the money raised during the Easter Seal drive will stay in our county. For -this reason we urge eveiybne to mail in his contribution now--to give generously on tag day, Saturday, March 21," concluded Mr. Kinne. Mema Strohmaier has given many hours of her time in assisting with care of patients in the McHenry area, assisted by Mrs. Robert Speckman, who is local chairman.

The resourceful duchess tied up her hair with her ribbon garter and the next day all of the court ladies appeared with a headdress "a la Fontanges." The wife of an Austrian archduke introduced a color that might be known today as "tattletale grey," by airing he dirty linen. Isabella bad vowed not to change her linen until her armies had taken the town of Ostend. The siege lasted more than three years. For more than a century, fashion able men and women dressed in yellow-gray, dubbed "Isa bella color." During the Middle Ages, long-toed shoes denoted wealth and dignity. The sty'e has been blamed by some on ;• Frenchman who reportedly invented it to hide huge bunions on his feet. Come to think of it. those long, narrow toes may have come back into vogue for much the same reason in 1959, but we can think of a lot of discomfort they cause merely to hide a bunion. We cast our vote for comfort at the expense of a fashionable look in the Easter parade. CARD OF THANKS The thoughtfulness and sympathy extended by all our friends during our recent sorrow will always remain with us as a precious memory. The generous girts to the Cystic Fibrosis Research fund will be a lasting memorial to our Lee. Our sincere thanks to the entire community. *46 Larry and Neva Fuhrer.
