CURTAIL SERVICE The McHenry Medical Group this week announced that the continuing inflationary spiral of costs has necessitated an evaluation of its total services to patients. This evaluation, according to a spokesman, has cleafly indicated the need to eftheriricrease fees, which they Mjfilieve should be the last resort, or to make a substantial reduction in overhead wfth a minimum curtailment of service. They have determined that the cost of maintaining evening hours has reached an uneconomical level and represents a substantial portion of the total overhead. They are, therefore, discontinuing evening hours effective July 7. They are extending the afternoon hours to 5:30 to assist those who find it impossible to come in during working hours. The Medical Group regrets the inconvenience this may cause and announces the doctors will be available, as in the past, for emergencies. FIRM MERGES Gord6n E.
