P.hm«T 18- 1964' |§;: -nf.y^ ROTARY NEWS ROTARY FOUNDATION Th ? year 1947 marked a signifies nt point in the history of the Foundation, for in that year one of its most ambitious prog? ams, the Rotary Foundation Fellowships, for Internationc 1 Understanding, was launched with the awarding ^ofei?hteen fellowships to student: from seven countries. Wha begem in 1917 with the simp e phrased idea of Arch Klumph had come a long way. The second world war made Klunph's idea even more poignant Today, the objective of the Notary Foundation clearly reflects the thought that Arch Kluriph first expressed, modified by the course of world histcry; 'The objective of the Rotary Foundation is the furthering of understanding and frier dly relations between peoples of different nations through . the fostering of tangible and effec tive projects, including Rotary Foundation fellowships for international understanding." Tc implement this objective Rot try Foundation initiated, besides the fellowship program, a program of relief for dis tre«;r.ed families. Further, the fellowship program has been expended by providing for Swarding annilally not more than ten additional Rotary Foundation Fellowships for study in countries which, because of language or other reasons, have not normally been chosen by Fellows. Rotary Foundation fellowships for international understanding are awarded to young people for a year's study fborf:d, to provide them with the opportunity to interpret the.'r home countries within the country of study, and upon Return home to foster an under standing of their country of Study. The Rotary Founda- £or: fellow has a dual roll, amlwssador of good will and scholar. There are two types of Fellowships, regular and additional. Their purpose is the Same; their requirements differ somewhat. After initial Sponsorship by Rotary clubs, Candidates are proposed by Rotary districts. Detailed information is sent to clubs and dislr ct governors in January each year. Deadline for filing applications is April 15. Govern'rent officials, educators ®"d experts in various specialfeed fields have acclaimed it p>r its far reaching effects Fellowships are granted for one academic year. The amount of the award is calculated? to ?ov? ' the cost of" transportation from the fellow's home to C1ty .to study--and--return Registration and tuition fees, essontial books and educational supplies, room and board, in- Cidental living costs and the cos; of limited educational travel within the country of Stuly. An applicant may be of any race or creed. His personal and academic records must give evidence of strong poten- ,lea l dership- An applicant should have a good knowledge of history, culture and geography of the country of study He is required to be a citizen of the country of his permanent residence. An applicant must have a bachelor's degree or equivalent, or be scheduled to receive such a degree before the fellowship year starts. Applicants in the McHenry Rotary club may receive furher information by directing a letter to the club president, J Reihansperger, 3908 West Mam St., McHenry, asking for the pamphlet "Information for Rotary Foundation Fellowships." New Members Hear Function Of McHenry Mental Health Center Doctor S. Martinez, psychiatric director of the Mental Health Center for McHenry County, and Virgil Pollock, president of the center's board of directors, explained the functioning of the center for the benefit cf new members at a recent board of directors meeting. Doctor Martinez stated that the "clinic" or "team" approach in psychiatry did not become popular until World War II. Three professional disciplines make up a psychiatric team: psychiatry, clinical psychology and psychiatric social work. The psychiatrist is a medical doctor with specialized training in psychiatry. The clinical psychologist has a university graduate school degree in psychology, with specialized training in psychological diagnostic testing and psychological theory. The psychiatric social worker also is required to hold a university graduate school degree, stressing social-psychiatric problems. The functioning of a psychiatric clinic, such as the Mental Health Center for McHenry County, Doctor Martinez continued, may best be illustrated by describing the usual experience of a patient referred to the center. The referrals to the center, which is located at 3514' West Waukegan road, in McHenry, come from the patient's family doctor, ministers, the courts, lawyers, schools and social agencies in the county. Discuss Problems The patient is first seen by the psychiatric social worker. The social worker discusses with the patient his emotional problems, his family background and his social experiences. After this interview, a committee of the staff of the center meets and makes a preliminary evaluation of the patient's problems. If, as is often the case, it is felt that further evaluation and insight is needed, the patient is next seen by the clinical psychologist. The clinical psychologist administers a seires of psychological tests to the patient. The psychiatrist is the next member of the team to see the patient. Equipped with the "social history" report of the social worker and the results "of the diagnostic psychological tests, the psychiatrist, who may be called the "captain," of the team, makes a diagnostic evaluation of the problem. What occurs after the evaluation depends on the purpose for which the patient was referred to the center. Often, as in the case of referrals from the courts and the schools, the purpose of the referral is merely to obtain a diagnosis so as to facilitate the court or school in its disposition of a problem. In such cases, a diagnostic report is given to the referring sources. Treatment Program When psychiatric treatment is needed, the patient may be seen for therapy by the psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker, depending on the nature of the problem. If, however, the patient is being seen by a staff member other than a psychiatrist, the treatment program, is always under the directon of a psychiatrist. Virgil Pollock, of McHenry, president of the center's board of directors, told the new board members that the Mental Health center is a non-profit organization. It obtains its revenue from three sources: Private contributions, fees paid by patients and from the state of Illinois. The larger part of the center's budget is currently met by the state. In«return, the center treats patients who are conditionally discharged from state psychiatric hospitals. The state, however, from year to year, reduces the amount that it gives to the center, thus requiring the center to raise more funds through local, private contributions. Pollock also stated that fees paid by patients are substantially lower than those charged by private psychiatric facilities GIR L SCOUTS With winter more than half way along its route, the Girl Scouts of Valley View neighborhood have turned to many new projects to occupy themselves for the remainder of the year. Scouts of Brownie Troop 211 are i working on their world pin. Mrs. Pat Kellogg attended one of the recent meetings rnd iaught the girls some new games. Brownte Troop 415 has jusl been given this new number. Mrs. Charles Peterson - has joined the group as a co-leader and the girls welcome her, as do the adults of the neighborhood service team. Kim Gardiner was invested. The girls are learning to tie knots and have been taught the basic steps in hand sewing for use in projects to come. Girls of Troop 41 "recently used an entire meeting to have an open patrol session and an open court of honor. The Troop received an American flag from the ladies auxiliary to V.F.W. Post 4600 and have learned to fold it properly. Barbara Heinz has beer. el3cted as scribe and Nancy Lawson is the newly elected treasurer. The girls planned a roller skating party as a January outing. It was held last Thursday evening in the Just For Fun roller rink in McHenry and was a great success. On Saturday afternoon, Feb 1, the troop met at the home of Mrs. Biesfehke and were taught basic first aid. Since the beginning of the year the girls of Troop 88 have been thoroughly engrossed in their badge work. They have three badges to complete to earn the "Sign of the Arrow". A portion of the Gypsy badge will be completed on Feb. 14 and 15 when the girls travel to Hawthorne Hill camp for an over-night. Adults who will supervise the trip are and are based upon the patient's ability to pay. Barring unusual circumstances, treatment by the Mental Health center is limited to families whose income is less than $7,500 per year. DEDUCTIBLE TAX Gov Otto Kemer has announced that Illinois taxpayers will be able to deduct the state cigaret tax when computing federal income tax. The US Internal Revenue Service recently issued a ruling which heJd that, as the result of a change in state law, the tax is deductible. The ruling was sent to Harry Hulman, director of the Illinois Department Revenue. of WASH YOUR HAIR THE HEW EASYWAY W NEW D1ALCET FAUCET ALTHOFF'S Inc.
