( DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Appointments Announced In District 12 At the regularly scheduled meeting of the Johnsburg school board of education Jan. 25, Duane D. Andreas was named superintendent of schools, replacing James Busch, who passed away about three months ago. Andreas had been appointed acting superintendent by the board Also moved from an acting status to a permanent status by the board were James Van Bosch, principal of the junior high and Ringwood; Harold May, principal of the elementary school; and Michael DeWolfe, guidance ounselor for the Johnsburg school district. DUANED ANDREAS Duane D. Andreas was drafted in the military service during the summer of 1957, returning to Johnsburg school as sixth grade teacher in the fall of 1959, the first year of Mr Bush's superintendency In the years from 1959-65 Mr. Andreas mainly taught science and coached. He continued his education, receiving his Master's degree in 1962 from Northern as a general education major with a curriculum emphasis. The summer of 1964 was spent at Bradley university as a National Science Foundation Fellowship and in the summer of 1965 Mr Andreas studied educational administration at Roosevelt university Becoming involved with the planning for the new Johnsburg Junior High in the 1966 school year, Mr. Andreas volunteered to research and wrote a proposal to the federal government for innovations in education in conjunction with the proposed dual enrollment program with the public school and St. John's parochial school. Mr. Andreas was heavily in­ volved in planning the dual enrollment in Johnsburg. The proposal was subsequently funded by the federal govern­ ment in the amount of $112,000 to assist Johnsburg school to become a model for dual enrollment and innovation. Andreas was named principal of the new school by the board of education and granted a year's sabbatical leave to study curriculum and administration at N.I.U., receiving a Cer­ tificate of Advanced Study degree in the spring of 1967.

YEAR Rifed Cross Board bf Director Through television everyone has seen Red Cross workers in the war zones, at floods, tor­ nadoes and other disasters, living up to its reputation of greatest relief organization in the world. However, there have been, and are, detractors who talk against the Red Cross and we would like to answer some of their charges to set the record straight. CHARGE: "With all that government money, they ought to do more". TRUTH: Although the Red Cross operates under federal auspices and charter, it is not a governmental institution and does not receive one dollar from the Federal Government. All of its money comes from citizens' contributions. CHARGE: "They use most of their money to create plush jobs for their administrators". TRUTH: pie cost of ad­ ministration/^3f the national organization is only thirteen cents for every dollar, and fund raising costs of four cents. This is fantastically low when compared to other charities and governmental agencies. Many other charities have costs as high as 40 per cent. Reason: The salaries paid to Red Cross staff are uniformly lower than in most welfare agencies. The president, Gen Gruenther, gets thirty thousand a year for carrying a tremendous work load that would command a salary of three or four times as much in private industry. His salary is considerably less than a congressman and little more than local administrators of government relief programs. The real answer to this low cost is not only the dedication of the staff workers but the more than two million volunteer workers, without whom the Red Cross could not survive. CHARGE BY SOME EX- SERVICEMEN: "The lousy Red Cross made us pay for stuff in their Rear Area clubs". TRUTH: Unfortunately this did happen for a short time in World War II but it was not the fault of the Red Cross. The War department became troubled because American troops had more money to spend than our Allies. This, thought the department, was harmful to Allied morale. Accordingly, Secretary of War Stimson instructed the Red Cross to charge small fees for the hospitality to off-duty troops in rear area clubs just as our allies did. This was totally at odds with the Red Cross tradition "To give feely to people what other people have given to Red Cross". Unfortunately, although Red Cross is an independent agency, their activities must be approved by the Department of Defense, so they followed the War department orders. This was the worst blow the Red Cross reputation ever suffered and it colored the thinking of nfany more ser­ vicemen than were involved. Needless to say, it has never happened since that time and millions of G.I.'s have been taken care of without charge. CHARGE: "Red Cross supplies were being sold in other areas". TRUTH: The organization never sells anything other than the period mentioned previously, but there have been individual Red Cross workers who have been found (and fired) who tried to make a dishonest dollar peddling. Also there have been a few instances where Red Cross labeled cigarettes turned up in a post exchange and were sold. Also some Red Cross supplies have been hi-jacked and sold. The Red Cross organization is not perfect and individual lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHlNIIIIIIIIIIMIII, I K0ENEMANN I Country Made Sausages, | Hams and Bacon IGERMAN IMPORTS AND CHEESES 1 A Full Line Of I Delicatessen acts of dishonesty can always be found in an organization of thirty-thousand. Unfortunately, the few in­ stances of this kind are magnified many thousand times by word of mouth and scuttle-butt. CHARGE: "Red Cross charges for blood". TRUTH: In disaster areas when large sums of money is loaned by the Red Cross to help someone get started again, it is expected that if they are able to, they will return the money so that others in the future may be helped. If they are not able to pay it becomes a gift. Obviously since they are not a government agency, they could not keep giving large sums to individuals unless some was repaid. No interest is charged and no security required. Whatever a disaster family needs for normal living and cannot buy from their own resources, is given by the Red Cross. Emergency mass care for food, shelter, clothing and medical care totaled $145,974,000 in the 1960's. Also some servicemen are given loans for emergencies, which may be paid back when and if they are able, again so that future servicemen may be helped. QUESTION: What do they do in McHenry county? ANSWER: The local office has only two salaried em­ ployees who are available twenty-four hours a day. The total budget for administration is only $11,800 and this includes salaries and all office expenses. In 1970, with this small staff, they processed 25 to 100 requests a month from ser­ vicemen for emergency leaves. They brought home for family emergencies many G.I.'s, sometimes within 24 hours. This involved telephone calls to Washington which were followed by direct com­ munication through Red Cross with Army units in the field. It also involved investigation through doctors and local authorities to verify the emergency. In addition, the McHenry County Red Cross handled many local relief and hardship cases of servicemen's families. They organize and administer Grey Ladies and Safety Services including First Aid and Water Safety. For­ tunately in this area, we have many dedicated volunteers who contribute time and services to make it possible to carry on. SECTION 2-PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER, FEBRUARY 9, 1972 1.111II n n P ' i 1 1 Pot-Jlwch wltlî eJu by Teri J odd minnoniMHinnnnTmrrn^nnnnnnnoonoooononrmnnnnoimnnnnnriiiinnn v Are you teaching your children to fear the dentist? Before you answer that, think for a minute. Oh, of course, you don't come right out and say in so many words, "You must be afraid of the dentist," but how often do your attitudes and actions say exactly that? How can children not be afraid when they over hear their mother s?y, "I'd rather have ababythangotothedentistl" Stories of visits to the dentist com­ plete with graphic descriptions of the needle, usually in exaggerated propor­ tions, make for great back fence and coffee klatch round table discussions. These conversations are often held with the children playing under foot and whether you're aware of it or not, they absorb every word. The little ones may not know what all the words mean, but they get the message loud and clear. How many times have your children heard you make up some false excuse in order to cancel a dental appointment and then watch you sigh with relief when you get away with it? Now that you had a chance to think about it, can you honestly say you aren't teaching your children to fear the dentist -- even just a little? I hope so, but is isn't as easy to answer as you first thought, is it? No child is born with this fear, but even very young children are quick to sense and pick up the fears of their parents. In a recent study conducted at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, it was learned that negative attitudes on the part of the parents can have a very detrimental and lasting affect on the child's approach to dental health. So now that we know the problem, what can we do to help our children develope the proper attitude toward dental care? The first thing, of course, is to try to rid yourself of your own fear. If this seems to be impossible, at least be very careful not to pass it on to your children. The age at which you start taking your child to the dentist is also very important. Most dentists advise parents to start them at age 2-1/2 or 3 years. Some dentists do not like the idea of a "first" visit. They suggest instead, that the child accompany you on your routine appointments so he can look around, become acquainted with the dentist and his assistant, and generally feel at home in the office. If, however, going to the dentist makes you nervous or apprehen­ sive, taking your child with you is not a good idea. To find out which is the best approach for you and your child, discuss it with your dentist, then follow his advice. Preparing the child properly is an­ other area where parents often make mistakes. A child should be told what to expect before he gets to the office, but here's the catch, too much preparation can be more harmful then too little. For instance, a child who receives a too detailed indoctrination two or three times a day for a week prior to the ap­ pointment may become more apprehen­ sive than the child who was told prac­ tically nothing. Above all, never tell a small child, "he won't hurt you!" The very use of the word hurt can make him afraid where he may not otherwise even think about it. Then too, sometimes a little pain is unavoidable, and in this case, the child will think that you deliberately lied to him. Here again if you are not sure how to properly prepare your child for his appointment, don't hesitate to talk it over with your dentist. The dentist plays a very important part in your child's over all health program, but for him to do his jot effectively, he needs your cooperation. Suggested signs for nice grass: "Your feet are killing me".
