MCC TO SEEK PERSONNEL FOR HEALTH SERVICE (Continued from page 1) registered nurse for day duty and an emergency medical technician for part-time duty during the evenings. "In addition to providing needed first-aid, the registered nurse will also be asked to provide health counseling for students; develop and provide instruction for courses or short seminars and workshops on health-related issues; and assist the college in assessing the needs in McHenry county for the possible establishment of additional allied health occupational programs by the college," said Bartlett. Members of the advisory committee included James O'Heir, trauma coordinator for McHenry county; R.S. Loewenherz, M.D., Robert Schroyer, staff member for the Comprehensive Health Planning Agency for McHenry County, and Margaret Van Breda, instructor in the MCC Nurse Aide program. Bartlett also reported on the status of the adult education offerings planned in Huntley during the spring semester. Last month, the Huntley board of education voted to request annexation to the McHenry County college district. In order to provide adult education courses in Huntley before the annexation becomes official, the state required that the college receive authorization from the Huntley superintendent of schools and the president of Elgin Com­ munity college, whose district Huntley also borders. According to Bartlett, six courses will be offered in Huntley during the spring semester. In other action, the board -- authorized payment of vouchers for the month of November. -- tabled a recommendation for variable tuition rates for the elderly until a more definite recommendation is given. -- approved purchases of equipment for the audio-visual and secretarial science departments. -- approved five chargebacks. -- authorized the hiring of part-time personnel. -- approved the offering of a contract to Mrs. Elouise Scott for the 1974-75 academic year. Mfs. Scott had been dismissed from the faculty in a cut-back of staff. The next regular meeting of the board will be held Jan. 24, at the Crystal Lake campus of the college. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. CThf Worry \ ~ Clinic Heed Dr. Goff's indictment of seminary students! Church attendance depends on superb oratory in the pulpit. For it takes a livewire at the lectern to electrify a congregation. Yet too many clerics have burnt out fuses! The parishioners don't get a charge out * of them on Sunday. For such preachers reverence polysyllabic circumlocutions and long prayers! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE K-566: Dr. Charles Ray Goff is one of America's foremost pulpit orators. He and I were classmates back at the Northwestern university School of Speech when Lou Sarett was the superb professor of "Persuasion," as well as "Debate" and other basic courses. But neither one of us was taught the anecdotal or "parable" formula that Jesus made so famous. Yet we both hit upon it spontaneously, as did Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Billy Graham, Billy Sunday and almost every prominent orator. For here is how the topnotch speakers catch on the Christ's forensic formula. MOTORIST DIES Marilyn Phillips of Crystal Lake died in an auto accident which occurred Friday evening, Dec. 21. She was pronounced dead on arrival at McHenry hospital. No details were available from the Police department Saturday morning. Immunization Clinic Offers Free Service The monthly free im­ munization program sponsored by the McHenry County Board of Health will be held Wed­ nesday, Dec. 26. Parents whose children have not been immunized because of a financial burden should bring them to the Health department office, located in Room 102 of the new courthouse, at 9 o'clock that morning. Immunizations needed to meet school requirements may be obtained at this monthly clitt& v Whenever they indulged in a dry, philosophical sentences and "essay" addresses, they subconsciously noted that the audience leaned back in their seats and acted bored. But as soon as an actual case was mentioned and outlined in narrative fashion, the crowd would lean forward eagerly. Foremost orators always have maintained close eye- contact with their audiences, so they begin to seek more and more actual stories or exam­ ples drawn from the daily experiences of the crowd. Without consciously realizing it, they thus spontaneously evolve the "parable" strategy that Jesus used so successfully. Soon the young orators begin to string a series of relevant stories, anecdotes and dramatic cases into a sermon or oration. They will start with a profound text or title, but then employ pertinent stories, like beads on a wire, to advance their thought to a dramatic climax. This is a sure-fire formula, but many erudite clergy with V.A. NEWS advanced college and seminary degrees can't do it. Why? Because it is too simple and they can't comprehend sim­ plicity! Previously, I told you that one of America's greatest magicians, Dr. Harlan Tarbeli, told me he couldn't teach some of his best tricks, because: "They are too simple and most Americans can't com­ prehend simplicity!" Dr. Goff and I have lectured at dozens of theological seminaries, trying to put across this guaranteed recipe for a superb sermon. Thus, we both addressed the Garrett Biblical Institute men on this point. "But I couldn't put it across," Dr. Goff told me at luncheon the next day. "For they are so steeped in polysyllables and are looking for things they can't fully comprehend, that they ignore simplicity. "Our formula for public speaking is so self-evident that they can't grasp it!" And if you think we are wrong, just listen to your own clergyman on Sunday and see if he still tries to pontificate in polysyllables in an "essay" type of discourse, instead of keeping the parishioners eagerly leaning forward in the pews in rapt attention. Teen-age athletes pattern after the stars. Thus, pitchers study and imitate McLain, Gibson and other great pros. But twenty-five of our clerics, who are duds in the pulpit, still refuse to watch the technique of Dr. Peale, Oral Roberts, Billy Graham. Dr. Goff, Bishop Civil Defense Gives Snowmobile Pointers MUSIN" N' MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) or on the shoulder. Neither are they allowed on private property. The last caller, who was indignant, said he realized the expense of the vehicles and was in favor of the sport. However, he felt as many others do, that violations of state law make the sport unsafe both for the driver of the snowmobile and for the motorist who travels the high­ way. There isn't much argument there! Now if authorities can be convinced that a real problem does exist, probably more in rural areas than in the city, maybe we're on the way to preventing injuries or even deaths. K.A.F. CHILD INJURED WHEN HIT BY CAR FRIDAY (Continued from page 1) into his lane and they collided. However, a witness saw Rich- meier's auto suddenly swerve into Gray's lane of traffic, causing a head-on collision. Gray could remember nothing about the accident. Richmeier was ticketed for having no driver's license and for wrong lane usage. Injured in a two-vehicle accident recently were Mario Giannone of Route 1, Wau- conda, and ithe passenger in his car, Cindy Hallmark of 4014 W. Kane, McHenry; also the driver of the other car, Edwin A. Malenius of 2304 Aloha drive. McHenry. They were taken to McHenry hospital by the rescue squad. Giannone was east-bound on the highway and as he ap­ proached Beach, the car hit a patch of snow. The vehicle went out of control and crossed to the west-bound lane, where it collided with Malenius' car. Randal C. Abear of Route 5, Antioch, was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after he hit the rear of a car driven by Theresa M. Cummings of Route 1, Spring Grove. The accident occurred on Route 120 near Hillside road, east of McHenry. Miss Cummings had slowed to make a turn into a driveway when she was struck in the rear. She said her left turn signals were in operation at the time of the collision. Abear stated he was unable to stop in time to avoid contact. He didn't see the brake lights or turn signals prior to impact. EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions con­ cerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Below are some representative queries. Ad­ ditional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q - I draw compensation from the Veterans Ad­ ministration for a service connected disability. If I get a job, will it affect my com­ pensation? A - Not unless your VA rating is based on unemployability and you are rated 100 percent disabled. Q - Is my deceased husband, a World War II veteran, eligible for a headstone? A - Yes, headstones are available for any deceased veteran whose last period of military service was ter­ minated honorably. Suggest you apply to the Veterans Administration, since this program was transferred from the Army Sept. 1, 1973. Q - My brother was blinded during the Vietnam War, and can't seem to get interested in living again. What is the Veterans Administration doing about young men like him? A - VA recently entered into an agreement with the Blinded Veterans Association to augment agency services to the blind. This is in addition to other agency benefits such as compensation for service connected blindness, guide dogs and electronic and mechanical aids, their repair and replacement. Snowmobiling has become a tremendously popular sport in the 15bt few years. Not only is it popular in the Northern areas of Illinois, but many families ^JtraveUo the Northern States of Wisconsin, Michigan and \Minnesota for snowmobiling weekends. John J. Shay, McHenry County Civil Defense Director, points out that the following basic equipment should be carried on snowmobiles: a compact First Aid Kit, an emergency fuel supply, a compass, a Topographical map of the area to be traveled. Also, an extra drivebelt should be carried like a spare tire plus spark plugs with necessary tools for installation. According to Shay, carrying a lightweight block and tackle with 50 feet of \\ inch nylon rope could mean the difference between abandoning your machine or continuing your trek if badly stuck. A hand-axe, hunting knife, waterproof container of matches and a small pan or kettle will become Sheen and the other "pros" of pulpit oratory. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, en­ closing a long stamped, ad­ dressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) handy items if you should be stranded for any length oteime. Also, keep some tea bags in the emergency supplies. Black tea is more energizing than coffee for most people. *• Advise someone where you intend to go and what area you are likely to be in. If an emergency should arise such as a breakdown or becoming lost which requires existence under winter survival conditions the first rule is - DON'T PANIC!! This is vital to survival. Light a fire. This will keep you warm and attract attention of rescuers on the ground or in the air. If a shelter is needed, it can be made with snow, poles, evergreen boughs, or anything that will break the wind. A hundred-foot circle tramped in the snow with paths radiating from the center like spokes in a wheel can be readily seen from ~a search plane during daylight hours. Evergreen boughs placed upright in the snow beside the paths are helpful. They will cast shadows on a sunny day. McHenry County Civil Defense has an information sheet on snowmobiling which is free for the asking.

Consumers' Corner Easier Meat Identification .Starting now, selecting and comparing cuts of meat may be easier for consumers Many super markets and groceries will begin supporting a new, standardized nationwide meat labeling system. The system was developed by the National Livestock and Meat Board in response to consumer complaints of confusion with present labeling methods. An industry-wide committee chose which name was best suited for each of the 314 possible cuts of meat. Under the new system, cach meat package will bear the name of the species -- beef, veal, pork or lamb -- the wholesale cut, such as chuck or loin, and a com­ mon retail name for the cut, standardized throughout the na­ tion, such as "blade pot roast" Also, a store may add its own name for the product, such as "economy roast" or "supreme beef." This name will allow a store or chain to maintain its sys tem of identification without con­ fusing customers. The new program isn't required by law, so consumers should check with their local stores. If the system is not being used, they might want to suggest it.
