Dick Tracy. At the left is William Grammer, eight-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Grammer of Woodstock, a speech "therapy'patient. At the, right is "Kevin Wood, 4 Vj year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Wood of Harvard, who came, to the therapy center last year unable to walk. He now can walk alone. The McHenry county 1965 Easter Seal Drive will get underway this week with 23,000 letters containing the Easter Seals. The anticipated goal is $13,500. Chester Gould, who for the third consecutive year has accepted the chairmanship of the campaign, contends that "this will be a great challenge to me and to the members of the committee I will have working with me." "It seems to me", said Gould, internationally known cartoonist, "that giving to Easter Seal, besides making you feel good, furnishes funds to overcome those in need of therapy in the various kinds of crippling diseases." Gould placed special emphasis on the fact that "there are those in need of treatment either in speech or physical therapy department that receive this help free. "There are those that pay in full, those that are insurance paid and those that pay on a part-pay basis." "We do not want to miss anyone who needs this kind of therapy. Referrals for treatment are made by the-family doctor," he said. The campaign^ chairman pointed out that "just calling at the therapy center and seeing the therapists working with adults as well as children is a heart-warming experience. This is because you know tfiere is help for those that are suffering from such crippling diseases as strokes, poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis and many others." "When you get your letter with the Easter Seals, remember its your chance to help those who cannot help themselves. Most of your money stays in McHenry county, where it is at work through the therapists and the equipment at the therapy center in Woodstock. We will greatly appreciate your donations if possible by return mail," the chairman concluded.

S. farm exports in fiscal 1964, $504.2 million. Principal crops exported were soybeans, corn and wheat. "The employment of some 25,000 farm workers may be attributed to the production of farm products exported in both unprocessed and processed form. Gov. Otto Kerner has emphasized that if the number of Illinois firms manufacturing marketing products for export could be increased to 20 per cent from the present 3.5 per cent, Illinois could u{) this state's economy to a higher level of jobs and dollars. (Second in Series) Community mental health centers have been in operation throughout the country for many years. They provide services of a psychiatric nature to persons who cannot afford the care of a private psychijftrist or where private services are not sufficient in number to meet the needs. In the state of Illinois there are forty-nine such others, including the Mental Health Center for McHenry County. Mental health centers provide many types of servjees to fspsidents of the area they serve. Patient services are generally of three fkinds: (1) early detection and treatment of beginning problems of mental ill-health; (21. diagnosis and treatment of persons whose problems are more seridus and might need hospitalization if help is not obtained through visits W)"a center; and- (3) after-care for persons who have been hospitalized and n^ed help in re-adjusting to daily life situations. Other services provided are "referral, mental health education," consultation on mental health problems in the community, etc. In order to help provide these services the Illinois State Department £>f Mental Health gives financial assistance to the centers. The money is given as a grant-in-aid and does not come from taxes. Rather, this money is obtained from a fund established through the payments made by patients or their relatives for care in state mental hospitals. In addition to the financial aid given by the state, persons who receive service at the centers pay some fee, if they can. No one is dfenied services if they cannot afford to pay. The state aid and the patient's fees do not cover the cost of the operation of the centers. The balance of the cost is asked of.the community served by the center. The community's share is obtained from donations, attendance at mental health programs (such as the dinner dance sponsored by the McHenry Center last November), and also fund drives. It has been recognized for some time that the amount of Radiator -- ***• Repair SSeerrov ice Brake Service All Mechanical Repairs Complete Motor Overhauling Towing Service For Expert Car Care Come to . . . BUTCH'S Auto Service 1002 N. Front St. 885-0811 McHenry, 111. iponey needed to operate a center and to expand its services to meet increasing demands is not fully available from the above sources. In addition, as the centers grow, and more centers are established, the state grants-in-aid are spread more thinly to all of the centers. Thus, the burden of the cost is shifted more and more on to the patient and the community to pay for the operation of their local mental health center. To aid in obtaining funds for mental health programs at a local level, the Illinois 73rd General Asseijibly passed House Bill 708 in 1963. This Bill provides the legal structure fos^ any governing body (county, townships, etc.) to set up a mental health fund to contract with mental health facilities to purchase services for residents in the governed area. This assists residents in .obtaining help they might need/ and might not be able to affprd and enables the community^ to support a mental health facility within the area for the benefit of its residents. . ' • • Joseph Lehmann, consultant to community clinics,"State Department of Mental Health, has advised centers that House Bill 708 allows for the use of money already available to the governing body for the establishment of a mental health fund. In addition, if money is not available or if it is so desired, the governing body may levy a tax of not more than .1 per cent for this purpose. The bill also outlines the procedures for levying such a tax. Taxing to obtain funds is not a specific requirement of the bill, according to Mr. Lehmann and in the opinion of several attorneys. The Mental Health Center for McHenry County has approached the supervisors of the townships to encourage the establishment of a mental health fund, either at the county or the township v.level. This fund could be used to help support the center in providing its services to persons in th community; or the township or county could help tq purchase services for residents from other sources from this fund. At present, the McHenry Center is serving more than 150 residents of the county; nineteen of these persons have recently been discharged from state hospitals; all of the others vices to persons in the community. Forty eight are children and 102 are adults. The average age of patients coming to the center is 30 years, ranging from ages 6 through 62. In addition to these persons who are served, relatives and friends are given some guidance and consultations are held, with the patient's permission, with doctors, teachers, clergy, etc. The above services are provided on the basis of eightyfour work hours per week by two psychiatrists, one psychiatric social worker and one psychologist. Calls for service are being received at the rate of more than one a day (for example, thirty-six referrals have been received in the month of February). The establishment of local mental health funds by the townships, or a fund at the county level, would enable the. Mental Health Center to better meet the needs of the community's demands. In addition, a broad program of community work, such as consultation on general mental health in schools, at work, in child development, could be provided. Such funds would allow the community to meet the needs of the mentally retarded, too, in special schools, sheltered workshops, and so forth, Mr. Lehmann has osaid that four mental health centers in the State are drawing from mental health funds established by townships or counties on the strength of this legislation. At least one of the funds has been established without referendum or taxation and at least one center obtains funds from townships.
