KINDERGARTEN NEWS The Harrison School Kin­ dergarten just concluded a unit on "People Who Help", featuring garbagemen, policemen, firemen and postmen. Sergeant Meyer of the McHenry County sheriff's department visited the kin­ dergarten with an interesting film on red light people and green light people. Lt. Wright enchanted the children with firemen's helpers in their exciting trip to the fire house, as did Mrs. Murphy when the children made a special visit to the post office to mail their Mother's Day cards. The canceling machine is magic! Mrs. Bagby, the kindergarten teacher, and the children are grateful for the cordial reception they received from their /important friends and helpers. May 16, the kin­ dergarten visited the Harold Shotliff farm in Richmond. They loved seeing and touching the animals; cats, dogs, sheep, cows, chickens, baby chicks, too. Barnyard, silo, bales of hay, and straw, haymow, silage, Guernsey and Holstein cows are sure to be more meaningful terminology. This trip is the beginning activity to the farm unit which will include some baby chicks for the kindergarten room, making of butter and making of ice cream for the picnic on June 8.

And birthday greetings on May Keep Local Government Strong, Officials Told PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1972 Tuberculin Tests Offered Ways and means to keep local governments strong was the key topic discussed at the Southern Conference of Township Officials of Illinois in Nashville, 111., in mid-May. , More than 250 delegates were in attendance. Robert Lehnhausen, director of the Illinois Department of Local Government Affairs told the group, "Be energetic and forceful in presenting yourself to the people and to your state legislators about local and township government, its needs and problems. Also, ask our department for in­ terpretations, advice and assistance when needed or desired. It's our job and the Governor's mandate to assist you in all the work you do." 25 to the little girl with the blond curly hair and blue eyes, Beth Ann Williams, daughter of Norm and Gail Williams, who blows out six candles on her cake this year. On May 29, another Action Jackson, Dick, celebrates his fourteenth birth­ day. Best wishes to you all! DANDELIONS FOR MOTHER Have you ever thought of what the flower of true love is? For some it might be the romantic rose, or the delicate orchid, or perhaps the fragile gardenia. But for a mother, is there ever a flower given with more love than the dandelion? It almost seems instinctive for the hands of the youngest child to pause while toddling through the grass to snap off the top of the common, yellow bloom and run to present it to his mom- mie. As the children grow older, the single blossom is replaced by huge bouquets of dandelions and mommie searches for her widest mouth fruit jar to put them in - no Ming vase for this precious gift! Last week, while visiting in the Highland Shores neigh­ borhood, we met a mother who received a truly unique gift of love on Mother's Day. The many busy little hands in her household fashioned a Mother's Day Tree for her by decorating the little blue spruce on the front lawn with golden dan­ delions on each and every limb. To some - the dandelion is an ugly nuisance, a weed forever pestering their exquisitely manicured yards. But what mother will ever forget the shining eyes and happy smile on the face of her child and those endless bouquets of dandelions. For Your Information Suzanne Vadasi, instructor of Speech at MCC, donates blood. She is shown with E. Salvador and Carlos Javier, both of the Beverly Blood Bank. A1CC Veterans Sponsor Blood Bank At College At a blood drive held recently, sponsored by the McHenry County College Veteran's organization, forty- four donors gave blood through the Beverly Blood center of Chicago. The idea for the blood drive originated with Tom Trendler. former first vice-president of the MCC Veteran's organization, and another member, Gary Oaklev. Through efforts made by various members of the MCC Veteran's organization, the Beverly Blood center was contacted and arrangements made for the blood drive. According to Oakley, blood donated to the blood bank will be distributed to various hospitals in the McHenry county area for use when needed. All those who gave blood will received a one-year membership card entitling them to as much blood as they or any member of their family might need. Gary said, "We appreciate the assistance received from the MCC chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the National Junior College Honor society, in processing applications from donors during the blood drive." The MCC Veteran's organization plans to make the blood drive an annual activity. Dear friends. Decisions about the sale of property, a change of residence, business and legal decisions should be postponed after bereavement until the emo­ tional bewilderment subsides and one's faculties return to normal. Hasty decisions may be long regretted. As things come into proper focus and the advice of counsellors can be balanced, the right choices can better be made.

Nite til 9:00 Sunday 1Q til 2 Lehnhausen advised the township officials "not to wait until you encounter difficulties, but anticipate your problems and needs and act upon them in advance." Maurice L. Scott, executive director of the Illinois Tax­ payers' federation, told the •ownship officials that the 1970 Illinois Constitution has strengthened their position, because their destiny is no longer controlled strictly by Illinois statutes. Townships can only be modified by referen­ dum of the people or by an amendment to the Constitution, which was not the case prior to July of 1971. Scott urged township officials to "work hard to preserve township and local government -- and never do away with the vital town meeting. It is an institution of democratic pressures which should be preserved," he said. During the past twenty years there has been sub­ stantial progress in township government, it was observed by guest speakers. Im­ provements have been made in assessing practices, as a result of the establishment of town­ ship assessor schools. Efficient administration of general assistance, youth wofk, as well as in road maintenance has been noted. Recent legislation to establish a stronger and more represen­ tative township board was also cited as a step forward for towrship government. The subject of taxation was broadly discussed at the Southern Illinois Township Conference. Maurice Scott told the officials that townships can establish localized tax multipliers, by working with their county boards, in order to obtain more equalized taxation in their townships. Reports on currrent state legislation were made by Scott and by Troy A. Kost, executive secretary of the Township Officials of Illinois. The afternoon session of the conference was devoted to answering 103 question practices and procedures townships and township ficials. on for of- It costs $11 more per month to feed a teen-aged boy, than a girl of the same age, but the extra clothes usually balance this, easily. All people live in two worlds -- one of weights and measures, the other of imagination and hopes. Kindergarteners The McHenry County Tuberculosis association and the Tuberculosis Care and Treatment board will offer free tuberculin skin tests to students in kindergarten, fifth, ninth and twelfth grades in all public and parochial schools in McHenry county. For the first time this year, the kindergarten class is being offered the skin test rather than the first grade as has been done in past years. This is to coincide with the physical examination that is required for all school enterers. "The schedule for the free tuberculin tests will be set up for all schools of the county after the beginning of the school year in September," said Loretta Kohl, R.N., McHenry county tuberculosis nurse, "and at that time con­ sent cards will be sent home to the parents to be signed giving permission for the skin test to be given." Observers tell us that one of the surest leads toward a happy marriage is for both sets of parents to be happily married - thus suggesting a strong set of family ties.
