'age Eight THE McMENInr PLAIIIdEaICH Thursday, March HOOD LOSS SURVEY TO BE COMPLETED SOON ^ New Projects May « Include Regulation "Of Dam A* McHenry „.The rhnin D' T j»lroc ITlwyl a -ntrol committee and the 6. S. Army Engineers again Make a plea for the return of the completed "Statement of Ioks forms" regarding losses and damages suffered by area residents in the spring floods oI 1960 and 1962. Several hundreds of these forms were Inquest ed by the various subdivisions, organizations and affected individuals of the Chain 0! Lakes and Fox River area The committee is anxious to complete this phase of the flood program by March 2? and it is imperative they have the immediate full cooperation Of the homeowners and those who suffered these losses. This Information is vitally needed for presentation to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to arable them to take constructive action in this area. A meeting with citizens of several more subdivisions was held in McHenry on Tuesday Morning of this week. The Chain O' Lakes Area EU>od Control committee has received information from the V. S. Army Corps of Engineers, itating that they are completing their survey of flood damages during the next week. Preliminary analysis of the flood damage data collected last fall and winter in a local eafnp&fgn indicates that many properties sustained flood damages which have not been reported. Officers of local improvement groups are being asked by the Army Engineers ti collect such data or to estimate damages in their respective areas. , ( Study Projects . iChicago District personne1 frill begin studies and formulation of new projects as soon as an analysis of flood damage has been completed. • Among projects to tie considered are the regulation of the McHenry dam, together with required channel improvements to permit a lower peak •tage in the Chain O' Lake.1 during major floods and establishments of multiple-purpose reservoirs for flood control, conservation, etc., on the Fbx River and its tributaries. Consideration also will be given to allied water uses, including water supply, low-flow Control, recreation, fish and wildlife, conservation and pollution abatement. O p e r a t i o n of controlling Wprks on existing lakes vi Wisconsin to effect a measure oil flood control also will be Considered. Meet With State ^JThe Chain O* Lakes Area Flood Control committee met with the director of the' Division of Waterways of the state of Illinois, and his staff tut December and discussed tee problem of the spring floods of 1960 and 1962. Pictures and hundreds of statements of Loss Forms were presented for viewing and as proOf of the heavy damage and loss suffered by the area. The McHenry dam was discussed at length and the committee urged the co-operation of the officials in the regulation of the dam and that a watchful eye be kept to prevent the Fox Chain from spring flooding. The State Waterways Officals admit that much of the problem can be best handled by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers who have 1 he authority of recommending the construction of dams or reservoirs that are urgently needed in Wisconsin to impound flood waters of the Fox river. The U. S. Corps of Engineers have worked very closely with the Chain O' Lakes Flood committee and have had some of their key men in the area the past six weeks working daily with the committee and lending a much needed hand in the huge task of gathering flood damage data and the needed "statements of loss" information. PRESENT VALLEY HI STORY FOR McHENRY ROTARY (Continued from Page 1) aging residents who require a home of some kind. ' Those two points -- facing the public's obligations and encouraging private enterprise tc help whip the health care need problem -- were underscored by Howard H. Nehlig this week. Nehlig is co-administrator of the McHenry county home, known as Valley Hi Nursing Home. "Contrary to what some people might think, we welcome the construction of private nursing homes by private capital in McHenry county," said Nehlig. "The board of supervisors cannot be expected to solve this problem alone, and the county cannot possibly handle all the people who want health care facilities in the years ahead." A study shows McHenry county needs 242 additional nursing home beds right now in fire resistant housing. The Valley Hi building program would add a net of fifty-five beds. Because of overcrowding, 'he home today houses sixtyfive people in space built for thirty - seven. This situation would be relieved with the ninety-bed addition, leaving a net of fifty-five beds after facilities are used in compliance with State Department >f Public Health regulations. The study was conducted by he Illinois State Survey and Planning for Construction of Hospital and Medical Facilities. This survey shows McHenry county is well behind counties of comparable population as far as providing nursing home beds is concerned. Nearby De- Kalb county, for example, has 1 bed for 365 residents. McHenry county has 1 bed for every 1,385 residents. In McHenry county the number of persons between the ages of 65-69 nearly doubled between 1950 and 1960. The Munber of residents in Older age groups increased even more.

Dr. Bertha Shafer, president of the Easter Seal society, emphasizes the fact that 3,003 visits were recorded at the therapy center in Woodstock last year. This number includes several forms of treatment at each visit. Included were 2,103 adult visits and 900 children's visits. Small contributions in return for therapy were made by three-quarters of the people, leaving 700 treatments given free. In addition, many in the county took advantage of borrowing equipment including various types of walkers, crutches and hospital beds. Contrary to the custom of agencies, Dr. Shafer said "only a minimum amount of money contributed to the McHenry County Easter Seal society is spent outside the county. All money contributed as special gifts, memorials, bequests, etc., and contributions made in return for services received, remains in the county to be spent here.

His tireless efforts in behalf of an institution which grows with a growing population recalls a similar campaign to inform the public four years ago. At that time, Mr. Nehlig undertook the gigantic task of presenting factual information to the public. Apparently he did a good job, for the referendum met with public approval after the citizenry became acquainted with the great need for additional facilities. Again this spring, Mr. Nehlig is informing the public of the difficulties under which the home is operating, with over crowded conditions throughout. He is able to present figures which the residents of the county are interested in. His honest and forthright approach to a problem which belongs to every person in the county may very well bring him the deserved success in 1963 that it did in 1958.

What we don't realize is that estimates from educational sources credit TV with enhancing the teaching of 7 million students in more than 800 school systems and 400 colleges and universities. Another observation has been that 30 per cent of the TV homes within range of educat i o n a l t e l e v i s i o n p r o g r a m s watch them.

The flashing yellow signal is a warning or caution indicating the need for reduced speed. This same signalling device is frequently used in the vicinity of schools. The response by motorists should be the same. The red flashing signal requires a full stop from which you may proceed when the way is clear. Officer Weichmann particularly cited the use of this type of signal on W. Elm street (Rt. 120) at Riverside Drive, Green Street and Richmond Road.

The Scout-O-Rama chairman noted that this special event has three purposes: "To encourage all boys in all units to learn and explore a new and different area of scouting; to share with other units and boys the skills learned in each unit; and to show nonmembers what the program of scouting offers to them.
