Section Two -- Page Three THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday* Capita! l^epori School Construction Under Way One of the most valuable and rewarding experiences for a college student interested in public affairs is to serve as a summer congressional intern. Political science as taught in the classroom by a professor who has never served in public office is quite different from the "political science" learned in and about our nation's capital. . . « The practice of hiring a congressional intern has been followend each summer since this member was elected in 1962. This was accomplished within the authority of staff limitations and allowances. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives provided specific authority for congressional interns and allocated the sum of $750 per member for payment of salaries during the ten-week summer vacation period. Even before passage of this measure (H. Res. 416), arrangements had been concluded for two summer congressional interns to serve in the office of this member of Congress. These two young men -- John Sterling of Crystal Lake and John O'Meara of Waukegan -- have been very much in evidence to constituents who visit Washington during July and August. John R. Sterling, age 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. John G. Sterling of Crystal Lake, has completed his sophomore year at Stanford university, Palo Alto, Calif. John's major subject is history and after graduation he hopes to enter law school. John M. O'Meara, son of Mr. and Mrs. William O'Meara, 267 Harding Avenue, Waukegan, will be a junior next year at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Ind. John hopes to do graduate work in economics and business with a view toward a career in hsinking to follow in the footsteps of his successful father. These much - sought - after summer jobs as congressional interns bear no resemblance to a holiday. The hours are long, the research and other detail work is exacting and some of the duties are menial and arduous. Fortunately, many opportunities exist for attendance at interestng House ses-, sions, committee meetings, independent agency briefings and even social events. But sorting mail, typing and operating other office machines, reading and digesting reports and running routine errands help remind the college interns that the work of the Congress is not simply glamouf and excitement. In addition to the important service which congressional interns may render, an effort is made to see that each receives the fullest benefit from his summer's experience in Washington. Serving as quide to visitors helps acquaint them with the Capitol and the rich history of our Congress. Occasional conferences with this member of Congress enable them to learn first hand about the various legislative problems and how they are resolved. The government of this nation soon will rest in the hands of men and women now in college. The opportunity to observe that government in ac- •r,. " ""IF ffl:, * , :'tV - .

Shown above is the construction at Edgebrook school in McHenry,. where four classrooms will be added. The other photo shows work accomplished to date on the addition of twelve classrooms at Valley View school. An equal number (twelve) will be added to Hilltop school, as well as a multi-purpose room in each of the latter schools. The added space has been made possible by public support of a $675,000 bond issue which met the approval qf voters last December. Completion dates, on the project are expected, to be Sept. 20 at Edgebrook and Feb. 1 at the other schools. Dr. SIMS says... SAFEGUARD A PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE ILLINOIS STATE MEDICAL SQCIE1Y WHAT CAUSES INDIGESTION? Do you have to pay for a delicious meal with the distress of heartburn, stomach cramps or an uncomfortable bloated feeling? If so, you belong to an undistinguished club of millions who suffer that complex problem known as "indigestion." Just what is indigestion? Medically speaking, indigestion has no precise meaning. It's merely a catch-all phrase used to label the unfortunate consequences of eating too much or too fast, drinking to excess or allowing your emotions to get the best of you. Some of the more unfortunate consequences we so quickly pass off as symptoms of indigestion are: BLOATED. FEELING: A bloated, puffed-up feeling may occur when your stomach's digestive activity slows *down. You probably associate this feeling with gas, but usually it's caused by air swallowed with food, or by rich fatty foods (40 per cent of the American diet) that take longer to digest than proteins or carbohydrates. Contrary to popular belief, alkalies such as sodium bicarbonate won't relieve this puffed- up feeling. In fact, alkalies really produce more gas, thus adding to our discomfort. HEARTBURN. Heartburn-- which actually has nothing to do with the heart -- is a burning sensation that occurs when your stomach works too fast. The result? Excessive digestive juices or food back up, stretching and irritating the lining of the esophagus, a tube which leads from the mouth into the stomach. CRAMPS. Cramps or knots are also caused by an overactive stomach. When your stomach churns too hard, its mustio. is an important part of the preparation of these young people for the heavy responsibilities which lie ahead. Some of the summer interns now working in Washington may become important members of Congressional staffs someday. Others, indeed, may become Congressmen.

A sour taste may be caused by a food or stomach juice that travels back into the throat or mouth. But usually bad taste is not a symptom of indigestion, but a condition caused by bad teeth or infection in the throat, nose or sinuses. If these symptoms trouble you only on occasion and pass quickly, they can be legitimate signs of indigestion. But if one of them brings you frequent or severe discomfort, you better have a physical checkup. It could indicate any one of a number of serious conditions such as heart ailment, food allergy, ulcers and gallstones -- or a serious and fatal disease. POISON IVY "A thornless stalk with leaflets three, let it be. It's poison ivy." Poison ivy, a plant capable of producing a severe itchy and sometimes burning skin rash, afflicts 400,000 people yearly. Found in all parts of the United States, it grows everywhere -- in thick woodlands, on sunny hillsides, backyards and even the roughs of the best golf courses. How can you avoid it? Learn to recognise the plant and the various shapes it may take. Poison ivy consists of three It's A Nyes for School 1325 N. Riverside Dr. leaflets and thornless stems and twigs. In the spring and fall, the leaf color is reddish or of varying shades of brown, but in mid-summer it is often a shiny deep green. *The fruit of this weed is white, shiny and waxy -- like mistletoe. It can take the form of a bush, woody vines cling to trees, shrubs, posts and rock piles: or trailing vines growing close to the ground along pathways. All parts of the plant -- leaves, twigs, fruit, seeds and roots -- contain urushiol, a poisonous substance which produces that itchy skin rash. This poisonous substance can cling to your clothing, footwear, tools and the fur of dogs and cats for exteremely long periods. Therefore, a skin rash could appear weeks after an outing. Should you discover poison ivy in your yard, NEVER attempt to burn it out. Smoke llIliillilHIiMiM of- :S> Oiaftsman Mtex wal'l pajSL ALEXANDER *3is UMBER CO. fill J///'* NOTICE HOW.

Instead, use brush killer compounds made for this purpose; or dig it out, wrap it carefully and place it in a disposal container. If you should have the misfortune to come in contact with poison ivy, wash the affected area five or six times immediately with plenty of warm water and soap. If a rash appears consult your doctor. Although poison ivy won't spread and isn't contagious, it can lead to serious complications -- particularly in young children.
