SECTION 2-PAGE 4-PLAINDELAER-WED., NOVEMBER 15, 1972 New Directors "n' "f,h<"""r' ^ Join Board Of Cancer Unit Two new directors - Mrs. Joan Dorsch, Ridgefield, and John Louiverre, Woodstock - joined the board of directors of the McHenry county unit, American Cancer Society, at its fall quarterly meeting last week. At the August meeting Mrs. Polly Hobbitt and Mrs. Carol Steadman, Woodstock, and Louis McAbee, Jr., Richmond, joined the board, bringing board membership to its complement of twenty-seven. Clarence Sisson, Marengo, board chairman, reported the McHenry county unit has received certification for 1973 from the American Cancer society* He reported that the 1972 fund raising produced 102 per cent of goal and that the contributions through memorials was up about 22 per cent. One jarring-' note was the lessening of programs presented by the county board encouragement to schools, civic groups, and others through the public education activities of the ACS. Mrs. Frank Gregwy, 1973 chairman of this committee, issued a call for civic groups to make requests for cancer fighting informational material. She has available printed material, movies, and slide films. Among topics - the list is long - are those concerning the hazards of smoking and the need for women to have the pap test regularly. Information on breast self-examination is also available, and this one cancer prevention program is responsible in averting cancer in thousands of people each year in the U.S. Mrs. Edwin Reid * of McHenry, chairman of the service committee, said her committee is providing tran­ sportation for three cancer victims to assure proper medical attention. Mrs. Betty Freeman, chairman of the "Reach for Recovery" program, said her committee has assisted six women who were breast cancer victims that underwent breast surgery. The post-operative program is op* itf »nc tuort Mgr. •. ti no services of the local unit's board, said Sisson. Since September, the county chapter has received o\er $1,000 from seventy-live memorials established to honor someone who has died as a result of cancer. This reflects growing awareness that something specific can be done to help Citizens as a remem­ brance of someone who has died of cancer. Sisson sa(id the state ACS has approved the local budget which amounts to expenses of only $1,950. This covers mailing, information, phones, travel, material purchase, and many other costs. The county Cancer Society work is handled by volunteers. Mrs. Kaye Crowell, Elgin, serves as a staff field representative for McHenry and Kane counties and assists Sisson with much of the paperwork. Dr. Charles Lockwood, Marengo, a director of the state Acs and a delegate to the last annual meeting two months ago, said rehabilitation programs to aid people who have had a colostomy or a laryngectomy are receiving prime attention now. Speaker at the quarterly meeting was Dr. William Gibbons, pathologist at St. Joseph's hospital, Elgin.

Doctor--Well, there's a fire across the street, and I didn't want you to think that the operation was a failure. Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Nov. 24, 1932) The Ringwood two room elementary school received the highest honor possible by a rural school at dedicatory exercises held in the school Monday evening. The event was an outstanding one in the history of the village of Ringwood. Music was fur­ nished by the Ringwood or­ chestra under the diirection of Roland McCannon. The second number on the program was a demonstration of a reading class by the primary teacher, Mrs. Arline Pearson, showing the method used in teaching her class of two little beginners to read. State superintendent declared Ringwood a superior school. Superior schools differ from the regular rural school in that one acre must be available for playground use; running preliminary domestic science and manual training. Mrs. Arline Pearson and Roland McCannon are teachers at the school, Mrs. Pearson serving seven years and Mr. McCannon four. All appeals for Red Cross flour should be made to the chairman, S.H. Freund, or co- chairman, Peter M. Justen. The use of the sewing room at the local high school has been given to the Red Cross for Monday afternoon. Volunteer workers are asked to meet at the high school to make up articles for charity work. The McHenry Floral com­ pany observed Armistice Day by placing a beautiful wreath upon the soldiers monument in the city park.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Nov. 27, 1947) Thanksgiving Day is described briefly by Mr. Webster in his widely read dictionary as "a da^ set apart annually in the U.S., usually a Thursday in November for thanksgiving to God for bountiful harvests and national mercies". Thanksgiving is all of this and more for most of us.

Secretary of State John W. Lewis has announced that the general distribution of 40,000 copies of the 1971-1972 Illinois Blue Book began Wednesday, Nov. 8. Secretary Lewis said the new Blue Book is being printed at a savings of more than $10,000 over the cost of the 1969-1970( edition. The new edition has been revised in format with ttoe text in one column as/in earlier years. Other in­ novations include a new typeface and texture of paper designed to make the blue Book more readable. Lewis also stated that the increased use of color photography and original water colors by Paul N. Norton give book a distinctive ap- iarance. The frontispiece is a color photograph of the wagon wheel fixture in the house of representatives. The fixture depicts a wheel of the old covered wagons with each spoke of the wheel representing one letter of the word 1-L-L-I-N- O-I-S. End sheets are decorated with a four-color portrait of the renovated Old State Capitol building. Artwork consists of fine line drawings of the Great Seal of Illinois, the Governor's Seal, a State House silhouette and a silhouette of the National Congress. Other features in the new edition include state and federal constitutions, a story on land reclamation, new census figures, the new appropriation of legislative and congressional districts by counties, and a roster of Presidents, Vice Presidents and Congresses coincident with their terms. The Illinois Blue Book is a biennial report on Illinois government. The current edition covers the 77th General Assembly and state govern­ ment for the years 1971 and 1972. It is not intended to be a handbook or a current listing of state officials or officers. Copies of the book may be obtained in person, through the Secretary of State's Shipping Department, or by writing to the Office of the Secretary of State. Blue Book Section. Springfield.
