A board of directors represents the thirty northern counties in Illinois. Each county is represented by an Extension adviser of the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service. The board handles matters of finance, policy, promotion, purchasing, building and ground maintenance, and assignment of camping dates for these counties. The two camps that are under the control of the nor­ thern Illinois 4-H Camp association, are Camp Shaw- waw-nas-see near Manteno, 111., in Kankakee county, and Camp White Eagle near Leaf River, 111., in Ogle county. At the meeting, several guests spoke to the Extension advisers about 4-H, and how camping is a relevant part of the 4-H program in every county. Dr. J.B. Claar, director of the Cooperative Extension Service in Illinois, stated that 4-H is one of the four major programs of the Cooperative Extension service in Illinois, and that camping should be a major part of each county's 4- Cockoo, Tammie Johnson, Drum, Steve Williams, Triangle, Howie Breidenfeld, Nightingale, Joseph Kocher, Ratchet, James Burton. H program. Recreation and action activities are a major part of the 4-H program, a program where we have the leaders of tomorrow actively involved. The newly appointed assistant director of the 4-H and Youth program in Illinois, Dr. Ed Rapking, stated that the purpose of 4-H is to help young people solve problems in a way that will help them develop to their potential. 4-H helps young boys and girls, men and women find an interest in life while working with others, and helps develop values to live by. Katherine LaPlant, area adviser-Camping and Outdoor recreation, showed a short slide presentation of the heavy flooding that took place at both Camp Shaw-waw-nas-see and Camp White Eagle this spring, campers and their busy ac­ tivities, and the quiet at­ mosphere at the camps now that the young campers are no longer there. She also told of the newly winterized facilities that are open for any group who is in­ terested in camping over the fall, winter and spring months. Any family, 4-H group or other groups interested, should contact their Extension adviser or Katherine LaPlant at Rt. 1, Manteno, 111., 60950 or 815-933- 3011.

Biscomb, Social Security branch manager in Woodstock. "A Medicare patient who goes into a hospital and starts a benefit period after Dec. 31 will be responsible for the first $92 of the hospital bill," Mr. Biscomb said. The 1974 deductible was $84. Under the Medicare law, the amount will increase to keep it in line with the average cost of one dav's stay in the hospital. "The increase to $92 for 1975 is a result of a review of hospital costs during 1973," Biscomb said. "However, the present $84 deductible remains in effect throughout any benefit period that stated in 1974 even if the period of hospitalization goes into 1975." Under the law, the increase in the deductible means there also will be increases starting Jan. 1 in three other amounts Medicare patients pay for covered care. For a hospital stay of over 60 days, the patient will pay $23 a day (up from $21) for covered services furnished on the sixty- first through the ninetieth day.
