To prepare to enter the business world, to qualify for job promotions, or to start their college careers, these alert people squeeze classes into their busy schedules at odd hours throughout the day. In selecting the proposed site and in planning the curriculum, McHenry County college gave serious consideration to the particular needs of part-time students. A part-time student needs a college that is easily accessible because of the demands on his time; a college that operates fourteen hours a day, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., so that it is open when he is free to take classes; a college that considers the availability of working students in scheduling classes to accommodate their needs. Based on these requirements, a site was selected that is three miles from the center of population and within twenty minutes driving time from the most distant part of the college district. It is located on U.S. Highway 14, with access from secondary roads as well, in order to facilitate commuter travel. To provide even greater accessibility to part-time students, the college will continue to offer classes in outlying high schools even after its permanent campus is developed. Naturally, at the new campus, the college operational day will continue to be fourteen hours, with ad­ ditional Saturday classes of­ fered. The college's practice of offering classes on an in-plant basis in local industries makes a d d i t i o n a l j o b - t r a i n i n g available to people right at their place of employment. The Woodstock center, teaching language skills, now operational to meet basic job training needs, is another working example of the college making itself accessible to all people. Marian High Club Enjoys Winter Outing Saturday evening, Jan. 29, fifty students from Marian Central Catholic high school attended a toboggan party despite the freezing tem­ peratures. Those who were brave and hearty enough en­ joyed tobogganing or ice- skating at Woodstock's city park and afterward held a party at the Woodstock Recreation center. This outing was such a tremendous success that Marian's active Outdoor club is planning another for the near futures. Age of Vanity? For a short period between the 13th and 17th centuries when spectacles were first being used - women were forbidden to wear eyeglasses for fear they would become vain. Oddly enough, van­ ity is one of the major reasons why many women wear contact lens today. Approximately 78 percent of all contact wearers are female. ) * < /)\ y * * * s 1 V %> pi«oi ihi Pi (SEEN STREET MALL 1216 North Green Street McHenry, Illinois Local March of Dimes Workers Ask: "What's Your Rh Score?" By GABRIEL STICKLE Executive Director of Medical Programs The National Foundation- March of Dimes Some time this month--per­ haps today--Mothers' March volunteers will canvass a num­ ber of communities asking an important question: "How do you score on the Rh blood fac­ tor?" This educational drive is another step that March of Dimes volunteers are taking in the annual campaign to pre­ vent birth defects. Rh blood incompatibility dis­ ease is a cause of severe or fatal birth defects. Now it can be prevented. The material that volunteers are passing around asks ques­ tions about the Rh blood fac­ tor. It is a request-for-informa- tion form designed to stimulate thought and generate action among couples, particularly young people, who have never thought about their blood types before. Once people become aware of the potential danger of Rh blood disease to certain babies, and the availability of the Rh vaccine which can eliminate this hazard, the problem can be licked before it becomes a threat. If the wife's blood is Rh positive, or her husband's blood is Rh negative there is nothing to worry about. But, if the wife has Rh negative blood and her husband has Rh positive, there is potenital danger to their children. By filling out the quiz, they can find out where they stand. Vital Information Women with Rh negative blood who marry men with Rh positive blood should know about it before they start hav­ ing children. March of Dimes information about Rh blood disease and other health edu­ cational material is distributed in many marriage license bu­ reaus. That is a first step in the In the months ahead, March of Di answer requests for information al right direction, but much wider awareness is needed urgently to wipe out the disease. That's why so many of our volunteers are concentrating on Rh dis­ ease prevention. About 85 per cent of the white population and 95 per cent of the black population are "Rh positive." The remainder who do not have the factor are called "Rh negative," but are just as healthy. The blood fac­ tor becomes important only in certain pregnancies. Prevent Rh Disease We estimate that 50,000 young women in this country who need Rh vaccine to prevent the ravages of Rh disease among unborn children are not going to get it. With legal abortion on the increase--some 250,000 were reported last year--the situation is even more alarm­ ing. Only about half the women who need Rh vaccine following abortion receive it. The danger of Rh disease arises when an Rh negative mother has a baby who has in­ herited the father's Rh posi­ tive blood. There is a chance that, before or during birth, some of the baby's Rh positive blood might enter the mother's blood stream. If this happens, she might form antibodies to nes volunteers in many areas wiir< out Rh blood disease. the "foreign" blood. The first baby born with Rh positive blood usually is not affected by these antibodies, but the next Rh positive baby can be. The result could be death of the fetus or, if it sur­ vives, anemia, jaundice, brain damage and even heart defects.,- If the Rh negative mother is . given Rh vaccine within 72. hours of the delivery of each ! Rh positive birth, or after she' loses her fetus through abor- ' tion or miscarriage, she then cannot form the destructive antibodies and her next baby is protected. Awareness Needed To encourage maximum awareness about the Rh blood factor, many March of Dimes chapters work closely on edu­ cational projects with local health departments, hospitals and medical societies. The mes­ sage is about prevention of birth defects--and that the impact of Rh disease upon the unborn can be prevented. If the Rh vaccine is system­ atically given to all mothers who face the possibility of Rh sensitization, the incidence of Rh disease of the fetus and newborn can be reduced to a vanishing point within a gen­ eration.
