Plan Expansion Of Cancer Board Expansion of the board of the McHenry county unit of the American Cancer society to obtain broader public partici­ pation will be proposed to di­ rectors at the Dec. 2 meeting. This action was taken last week following a quarterly meeting where board members analyzed their effectiveness the past few years, and came up with both good and poor marks for their efforts. The proposal, made by board members Don Peasley and sec­ onded by David Ladd, would raise membership to thirty- three. Limit now is twenty-two. As Ladd explained to the board in an incisive analysis, "The ACS is a failure in 'McHenry county to the degree that we have virtually no participation at all. We have a board of twenty peo­ ple for the most part who are over-committed in other worthi while organizations. They are spread so thin that I think some­ times we do a disservice to the fight against cancer. We are not accomplishing all that needs to be done in the county, and 1 believe we should involve more people." Observed Ladd, who headed last year's record-setting Can­ cer Crusade ($26,000), ' My experience is that virtually all work in an organization of this type is completed by board, members. Unless a person is actively involved on a reg­ ular basis, his effectiveness is incomplete. We have many dedicated Cancer Crusade workers. Let's invite them to join the board. Let's invite people who are active in no organization to join us. We need manpower in a deadly ser­ ious fight." Board members did hear en­ couraging news--for example, the use of educational tools such as films and printed material is at a good pace. Mrs. A.B. McConnell, Jr., Woodstock, added that she welcomes re­ quests for more uses in schools and before civic and fraternal groups. A variety of films is available, and board members previewed several at last week's meeting in Woodstock. The board voted to establish a new format to see if it can improve the effectiveness of the 1970 Cancer Crusade. Four branch chairmen will be named to aid the Cancer Crusade chairmen. They will be in charge of assigned townships. Ladd, Peasley and John Orso, Crystal Lake, compose an In­ come Development committee whose immediate challenge is to find a general chairman for the Cancer Crusade position. Last year's Cancer Crusade yielded $26,000 but Ladd said he was dissatisfied because a quarter of the county's pop­ ulation was not called on. Here is how the board es­ tablished territories for the branch chairmen, and action to find someone to headthe small­ er entity is under way now. Ar­ nold May, county chairman, said volunteers ' are earnestly sought, for too long the Cancer Crusade responsibility has been carried out by the same people." The townships include Dis­ trict 1, Cemuiig, Dunham, Al- den, Harland and Hebron town­ ships; District 11, Richmond, Burton. McHenry and Green­ wood townships; District 111, Algonquin, Grafton, Nunda and Dorr townships; District IV, Riley, Coral, Marengo and Sen­ eca townships. May reported on a sizable gift Drug Abuse Amphetamines and barbitur­ ates are the "up and down" drugs, usually taken in pill form. They are said to ' pick you up when you're down and bring you down when you're up." For most people, amphetamines do have exhilarating effects, while barbiturates bring calming. They are powerful drugs, too powerful to play around with. Yet too many people are doing so. No one knows how many, but the best estimates are that about 200,000 -- and perhaps as many as 400,000 -- persons regularly abuse these and other non-narcotic drugs. The case of Mary Jones illus­ trates the matter. It's a hy­ pothetical case, not a real name, but it is true. Mary takes amphetamines to get going and barbiturates to put her to sleep. She does this day in and out. She takes the "up and down" pills without the supervision. of her family doctor. <T1*r MargtHfk•'** or*i# on the way to being -- a slave of these drags, addicted to them, a lipnky" as the slang goes. What is worse, she doesn't know it. She doesn't know facts she needs to know, like these: The "up drugs," pep pills also called "benies" and " speed," are a group of drugs known as amphetamines. They form one-half of what is per­ haps the biggest part of the drug abuse problem in the U.S. today. The other half of the problem are the "down drugs" -- sed­ atives, sleeping pills, the large family of drugs made for med­ ical purposes to relax a per­ son. What do the "down drugs" do? They produce a relaxing ef­ fect for most people; in nor­ mal, medically supervised doses, they mildly depress the action of the nerves, skeletal muscles, and heart muscle. In abnormal doses, the effects re» semble alcoholic drunkenness. Are these drugs addicting? The amphetamines or "up drugs" produce "psycholog­ ical" dependence -- a practice that can become a habit for mentai or emotional reasons. The "down drugs," barbitur­ ates usually, are physically ad­ dicting. Some experts consider barbiturate addiction more dif­ ficult to cure than dependency upon narcotic like heroin or co­ caine. Are these drugs dangerous to use? They have definite medical and health values if properly used under a physicians direc­ tion. None is properly available without a physician's prescrip­ tion. This is for the very good reason that their misuse or abuse can be dangerous. Barbiturates are a leading cause of accidental poison deaths. Sleeping pills distort how people see things; they slow down reactions and re­ sponses. They are an important cause of automobile accidents. Amphetamines misused can lead to accidental deaths and to accidents because they can dis­ tort perception, judgment, and even cause severe mental de­ rangement.

It will be used for research, ed­ ucation and professional per­ sonnel instruction, such as for doctors or dentists. He said this was a gift as a memorial to the donor's husband. Board members viewed sev­ eral films, portions of the many available for use in schools, civic meetings and other places. Mrs. McConnell said requests come in steadily for many of the educational supplies avail­ able, but that she welcomes ad­ ditional chances to provide films for classrooms, indus­ trial meetings and other places where the fight against cancer needs to be told. Films on de­ termining whether to smoke also are available. "The biggest challenge facing our unit is to help educate the public that cancer is curable," she summarized. "At least 140,000 people would be saved yearly if they would go to their doctor in time-at the first sign of any one of the seven danger signals." Resignations from two board members wt.e accepted- Dr. S.L. Ruggero, Wonder Lake, and Rev. David Taylor, Crystal Lake. Names of prospective appointees were offered May, who will contact prospects.

A re- t int survey showed that 84% of them are at least 12 feet wide and 60 feet long.

Qgilvie ap­ proved legislation last week designed to upgrade the qual­ ity of medical training in Ill­ inois. SB 1168 appropriates $6.1 million to the Chicago Medical School, a private, non-profit institution, for construction of additional medical teaching fa­ cilities. HB 2510 requires the establishment of a department of general practice of medicine in the curriculum of each med­ ical school operated by the State of Illinois. A third bill, SB 1139, creates an Advisory Commit­ tee on Medical Costs and Util­ ization of Services to Study the causes of skyrocketing medi­ cal costs and develop legis­ lative proposals aimed at pro- viding proper care at rea­ sonable prices. Ogilvie said the two bills related to medical training were aimed at allevia­ ting the critical shortage of doc­ tors in Illinois. The Chicago Medical School appropriation will enable the institution to qualify for an $8 million fed­ eral grant and build new fa­ cilities enabling it to lifcrease its first-year enrollment from 82 to 160. osco $btiug_ Osco Makes *Holiday Shopping Wast and Won. &re 6You... © 0 it ftfe «!
