/ <7 October 6, 1966 - VOTERS LEAGUE OFFERS TWO NEW PUBLICATIONS Just as old road maps can lead highway drivers astray on a cross-country trip, so a citizen may be led astray by an out-of-date reference on voting and government. Two new publications of the League of Women Voters will be of assistance to everyone wishing to be informed on the structure, financing, and other problems of government. The Illinois Voter's Handbook in its 200 pages, gives the important facts of govern ment in Illinois. First published in 1923, it has for years been widely used by schools,, libraries, government officials, businessmen, students and others as a dependable source of information. The Key To Our Local Government is a 170-page book explaining Chicago and Cook county government, political parties and elections, and metropolitan planning. Both new editions were researched and written entirely by League volunteers and each change was carefully checked by experts. Available at a small charge, information may be secured from Citizen Information Service of Metropolitan Chicago, 67, East Madison street, Chicago 60603. Several major changes were necessary in this edition of the Handbook. Maps of the newly created Congressional, State Representative, State Senatorial and Judicial Districts are reproduced. The organization of the new court system in Illinois is Carefully explained, as are the recent alterations in the administration of Illinois public welfare and public assistance progams. Incorporated, too, are modifications in election laws, such as the lowering of residence requirements so that new Illinois citizens may vote for President and Vice-President; and the changes in the educational system, such as the law encouraging the creation of new junior college districts. These new editions of two basic works should be in everyone's library, everyone who wants to participate intelligently in his government. They are the only standard reference works of their kind and are used widely by school and government officials. The W o o d s t o c k - McHenry League of Women Voters has presented copies of The Handbook to local school superintendents for use as they see fit. Anyone wishing to order copies of these books may contact Mrs. James Mitchell, 4605 tlreenwood Road, Woodstock.

They went on an all-day bus tour Saturday, Oct. 1, of historic sites in the area. Included were the birthplace «ind grave of Jane Addams at Cedarville, five miles north of Freeport. How -« to help ordinary People cope with every day problems that threaten to engulf them is the challenge ' confronting McHenry county citizens in the area of mental health, Joseph Gitlin said this week. Gitlin is president of the Mental Health Center for McHenry County, one of many organizations anxious to inform the public on the reason why a major referendum will go before the voters on Nov. 8. The McHenry c o u n t y board of supervisors heard the discussion on the mental health problem and has approved submission of this referendum to establish a county health fund through the Mrs. A. P. Freund spent a levying of a tax. few days last week in the Amount of the tax is limit- home of her daughter, Mrs. ed in the referendum provi- Evelyn Petitclair, in Waukesion. The money would be ad- gan and while there attendcause it seeks to shift the responsibility to the local level. "One of the vital benefits accompanying stronger financing is that organizations and trained people can be more successful in keeping families functioning as a family," said Crltlin. "It is the 'ordinary people' who are becoming mental health victims, the people we might least suspect have an emotional or uhable-to-solve problem. The dollars invested to help overcome an emotional problem cannot be compared to the potential later cost of keeping this person in a county jail or state penitentiary. Gitlin suggested.

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bienapfl and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Grever have returned from for mental health and services and for the mentally retarded. The center could be one beneficiary, and the amount it receives would be determined by the Community Mental Health board. Aid Retarded Also vitally concerned in this referendum, among others, is the McHenry County Association for Retarded Children. It could also receive a portion of the money, because the scope of assistance to the mentally ill and retarded is widespread, Frank Prem, president, said. Prem owns a manufacturing business in Johnsburg. "The Mental Health center board and staff is deeply concerned that in McHenry county citizens are doing only a minimum job of meeting the needs of the emotionally distressed in the county," Gitlin continued. "We cannot do more without additional funds. About two -thirds of the budget comes from the state of Illinois to aid our established county Mental Health center. The rest comes from contributions and patient fees." Fees average less than $3 an hour compared to a cost to the center of about $20 for qualified psychiatrists, p s y c h o l o g i s t s and s o c i a l workers required to work with the patients. Gitlin stressed that the state has a policy of decreasing the percentage of the total budget it contributes, be- / end guest of her parents,I Mr. and Mrs. Robert Adams.I Among the out of town] folks here to attend the wake or funeral of Mrs. Kathryn | Steilen last week were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Steilen of I LaGrange Park, son, Terry | Steilen of Madison; Mrs. Jack Steilen and sons, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Bickler and 1 children, Mr. and Mrs. How-| ard Bickler, Mrs. Nick Steilen, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald ] Steilen and Mrs. Margaret Rasmussen, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Bickler, Des- Plaines.
