HIP h1 e oO neez•m 9 SO e^as on 'Tis the season to be sneezi^ but bpware of those cold drugs if you are planning to drive. It is not necessary to take morphine or cocaine to be thoroughly doped at the wheel. - Some of the drugs inthe narcotic, antihistamine,tranquilizer and barbituate classification have properties to help fight colds and other illnesses, but they also produce side.effects ranging from dizziness to interference with concentration, lack of judgement, impaired vision, and release of inhibitions against reckless driving. „ In addition, to cold medicines, manyjpeople also take pills to counteract the systems of fatigue. These amphetamines or "pep ,pills" intrease alertness and efficiency temporarily, but when their effects wear off, headache, irritability, inability to concentrate, hallucinations i or even greater fatigue may result., creating a first-class highway menace. The end result can be seen in the increasing number of reports of drivers under the influence of these drugs, passing out at the wheel or driving into stationary objects while 'in a trancelike state. ' If you do feel ill or overly fatigued, take time to rest, and if necessary, see a doctor. If he prescribes medication or if you ^obtain non-prescription drugs from a pharmacist ask whether, they will have any adverse-effect on your driving abilities, and govern yourself accordingly. Chief Sales Tool Advertising is thfe chief sales tool of the super dru-g store off today. « Persistent and extensive advertising builds the huge volume of trade which enables the modern druggist to keep his margin of profit low. A survey of druggists in ten major cities was conducted by a magazine devoted to marketing problems. The study attempted to learn how the successful drug store operator uses advertising. The magazine reported that two of the nation's major drug chains invest 95 per cent of their advertising funds in newspaper space because they find it "a highly effective medium. The importance of frequerfey in advertising was stressed above all ottter factors which sustained the drug store business. Conversely, lack of consistency was reportedas a frequent, cause of failure of sales promotions. All of the reporting druggists put heavy emphasis on the role of advertising in'pre-selling the customer. "The heaviest advertised items sell.best. Iivmodern, self-service retailing, very little selling can be done after the consumer arrives at the store," one druggist reported. Findings of the survey are not surprising to the retailer who is a careful observer of shopping habits. All the old principles are restated-frequency, persistency, and the use of the newspaper at the basic retail medium. State Appropriations Is ii^jossibleforthe 76th Illiriois General Assembly to appropriate money to Support the st&tf|oifef nftient for tfte tirst ^eflr of the biennium, and then come back in early 1970 and make further j appropriations to support state government programs for thjer i second fiscal year of the biennium? This is a question asked frequently, and one expert stated that he is of the opinion that such a procedure is possible and not contrary to the Illinois Constitution. Section 9 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution provides that the sessions of the General Assembly shall commence at 12 o'clock noon, on the Wednesday next after the first Monday in January, in the year next ensuing the election of the members of the General Assembly, and at no other time, unless as provided by the Constitution. Sections 13 of Article IV provides that no Act of the General Assembly shall take effect until the first day of July next after its passage, unless, in case of emergency, it passes by a twothirds vote of all the members elected to each House. Section 18 of Article IVprovides that each General Assembly shall provide for all the appropriations necessai-y tor the ordinary and contingent expenses of the state government until the expiration of the first fiscal quarter after the adjournment of the next regular session, the aggregate amount of which shall not be increased without a vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each House. Under the above Constitutional provisions the 76th Illinois General Assembly, which convenes in January, 1969, must make appropriations for the biennial period (July 1, 190$ through June 30, 1971) as set forth in Section 18 of Article IV; however, the Constitution does not state that the General Assembly might not or cannot make annual appropriations in the performance of its duty. It has been a fiction for many years that the General Assembly must adjourn sine die on June 30. However, the 76th Legislature could maintain the continuity of its legal existence by recessing from time to time until Januifiw of the next odd-numbered year, at which time the 76th sessioirwould.adjourn sine die upon the convening of a new General Assembly. The 75th Assembly established this precedent. It appears that there is nothing in the Constitution or case law that would prevent the 76th Illinois General Assembly from making appropriations at its meeting in 1969 for the first year of the 76th biennium (July 1. 1969, through June 30, 1970). The 76th Illinois General Assembly could recess on June 30, 1969, to " some early date in 1970, and then make appropriations for the second year of the 76th biennium (July 1, 1970 through June 30, 1971). Appropriations made for the second year of the biennium would not be subject to the tyvo-thirds rule, because the 76th General Assembly would not be increasing the appropriations made. for the 76th biennial period; it would, in fact, merely be making the appropriations which it is required"to make for the 76th biennial period one year at a time. / For Your Informati jon Dear friends, / In addition to the exacting demands of the art and technical care of the deceased, the professional services of the funeral director are of major importance. The funeral director must be a competent counsellor, able to handle all situations amid extreme mental and emotional chaos. He must always be compassionate, capable, and thorough,- in order to resolve any confused situation which might arise into one of calm and reassurance.

PROGRESS "Dear Editor: "Recently I heard progress defined as that which is good for the people. We havei been fortunate that our school system has made progress as it has grown so very fast during the past tw.o decades. Yet. today it looks as though our Schools are on trial. We desperately need more classroom space and yet the people of our community seem to think that we can continue to squeeze more and more children into limited space. "Today over 70 percent of all young people inthe United States graduate from high school. This is a higher percentage than any other country in the world. If we fail to continue to provide a quality education for our elementary school pupils, will they go on to finish high school? I believe that if we do not provide a good foundation in the grade school more and more of our young people will drop out! "Remember, in order to make progress we must go forward as there is no standing still, if our educational system in McHenry does not go forward it can only go backward! Let's not have that happen; vote for the Junior high bond issue. We really need that space. "Dick Anderson "Valley View School" C&UNTY HEALTH OFFICER GIVES WINTER WARNING Northern Illinois has been enjoying a White Christmas followed by an old fashioned winter. This week Ward Duel, the county health officer, received a warning from the state that, over-exertion in winter/js a frequent: eaust of "hearth attacks.9 Pet sons are warned against unusual physical exertion during the winter months. Shoveling snow, trudging through drifts, pushing cars or even over-exposure to cold can bring on heart attacks in susceptible individuals. Often there is no avoiding shoveling off steps and walks, but if you have to do it. take it easy and rest a little between each few shovels. Overdoing winter sports or battling stormy weather even without snow can be overtaxing. It all depends on the ability of the heart to meet the load placed on it -- a matter of supply and demand. All of us have a certain •reserve level, depending on the condition of heart and circulation. This is ordinarily sufficient to take care of customary needs. But if an unusual strain is added, such as unaccustomed exertion plus exposure to cold, this reserve may be used up. Just as when you plug.too many appliances into one electric circuit, there is an overload and the fuse goes. When the demand exceeds the supply, difficulty ensues. In Illinois alone, 26,302 persons died frona coronary heart attacks during 1967 - 23.9 per cent of deaths from all causes. Keeping fit with a sound program of regular, moderate exercise is always helpful. Don't overdo it, and above all, try to avoid sudden, unusual exertion. » » a a a m Are You New i C In Town?
