Fqrm Corps Coalition McHENRY STATE BANK (SERVICE "McHENRY PEOPLE SERVING McHENRY SINCE 1096" \BANKY 10 W. ELM ST. • McHENRY,ILL. PHONE 385-1040 BOB JUSTE.N Every one believes in something - or some one. A belief is a personal possession of those who possess a mind. The belief is not always necessarily right. When or when not to change a belief can be and often is a perplexing problem. It involves a self-analysif of judgement. Every one of course is entitled to his or her belief whatever it may be. Right or wrong. Ridiculous or sensible. Every one is also entitled to try to change the belief of others. Politicians certainly know this and sometimes do it. Clergymen and religious minded people likewise know this - and sometimes do it. Does it seem logical to ask what is one of the best ways to change a non-believer into a religious believer? Is is not good reasoning to realize religious minded people believe in God, not because they have not seen Him, but because they have seen His works? Does it not . follow then that personal habits and an exemplary way of life is one of the best means to bring about a belief in God by others? In short, is not such and attit­ ude and action a "part of His works?". . . George R. Justen Funeral Home, 3519 W.

Using the Normal Bank Rates HALF 891, Review 2'A-year History Prison Furlough Program PAGE 3 - PLAI1VDEALER FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1975 VISCOUNT DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS Up-dated statistics on the prison furlough program were released by Allyn R. Sielaff, director of the Illinois Department of Corrections. From inception of the program in mid-1972 through Dec. 31,1974, Sielaff said a total of 8,802 furloughs were granted. There were thirty-nine AWOL's, thirty-three of whom were subsequently ap­ prehended, and ten criminal incidents. The most serious incidents during the two-and- one-half-year period werje a homicide shortly after the program began under the previous administration and one that allegedly occurred last November. Sielaff said the success rate has remained constant - 99.9 per cent of all furloughs were completed without a new crime and 99.4 per cent were com­ pleted without either an AWOL or criminal incident. The furlough program was established by statute and allows screened inmates temporary release from prison to prepare for parole. Prison furloughs are used nation-wide and are regarded as a necessary measure to help reduce recidivism. Sielaff also . announced results of the department's work release program. In this program selected inmates nearing parole live under supervision in residential centers, work in the community or participate in study release and support themselves and their families. From Jan. 1, 1973, through Dec. 31, 1974, a total of 3,760 leaves were granted from seven work release centers, the majority A coalition has been formed which includes the McHenry Viscount drum and bugle corps. The Viscount corps is now for youths 10 to 14 years old. Those in the corps between 14 and 21 have joined a coalition which amounts to an All-Star corps. All corps will retain their own identity, but when a member qualifies, he will graduate to the advanced group. The younger members will be competing with others of their age group, which will provide them a better opportunity to progress at their own rate. Older members can now enter more rigid competition. Interested youths from the ages of 10 to 21 who would like to become a member, should call 385-8115 for more in­ formation. LINCOLN CLOVERLEAVES The-Lincoln Cloverleaves 4-H club called their meeting to order at James C. Bush elementary school Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. The American pledge was led by Kathy Bessarud and the 4-H pledge by Lisa Boyer. Andy Akins read the minutes of the last meeting and took at­ tendance. Thirty-one members were present and twelve ab­ sent. The treasurer's report Undetected High Blood Pressure Silent Killer There is much about high blood presure to fear. For this disease, which doctors usually cad 1 hyypertension, has no unusual symptoms. And in 90 per cent of the cases, doctors can't determine the cause. It is a major contributor in the development of heart attack showed the club has a balance of $117.16 in the bank. Under old business, Danny Miller gave a report on the federation meeting. Billy Lang disucssed the buying of a new club banner. Under new business, Robin Noland gave a report on the bake sale which is scheduled for Saturday, March 28 at the McHenry State bank. Betty Lang explained an idea for the club's participation in a skit for the Share the Fun project. This year's theme is " Minutes of America". Talks and demonstrations were presented by Andy Akins on "Leather Dyeing" and by Lynn McWhinnie on "Steps to Better Picture Taking". Debbie Mueller, Reporter and stroke, heart and kidney failure -- diseases which together kill more than 900,000 Americans each year. But this silent killer which can strike without warning- this mysterious killer for which science §till seeks a cause-is easily detected and can usually be controlled. What is frightening about high blood pressure is the apathy of people who can't take seriously a disease which does not make them feel bad. Then there are those who foolishly assume that because an examination five or more years ago found their pressure normal, there's no need to have it checked again. These people are asking for trouble..heart trouble. There is another kind of dangerous apathy-the "let George do it" attitude. Someday they'll worry about heart disease when they're, older, for after all, isn't it one of the diseases of the aging? Of course, this is not true. Heart disease strikes people of any age, any race, any sex. And this is why all Americans should be interested in learning how to reduce their risk of these two killers-heart attack and stroke. The McHenry County Heart association is now conducting Offer Funds For Rural Housing Replacement Farmers and other rural people suffering damage from a natural disaster such as flood, severe windstorm or lightning may seek credit for repair or replacement from Farmers Home administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The an­ nouncement was made by Robert C. Becker, county supervisor of FmHA loan programs for Boone, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Winnebago counties. The special Disaster type loans became available under an authorization dated Nov. 1, 1974. Under the authorization county supervisors can make loans to restore homes and related fixtures damaged by storms in any eligible Illinois county. Supervisor Becker explained its annual Heart Fund drive to raise the dollars necessary to support its many programs in heart research, education and community service. To do their job effectively, the Heart association needs help. I'LL AND THURS-FRI-SAT-SUN Sunnyside Foods Thanks All Our Customers For 1 Bringing Us Three Successful YearsL/ SAT.

The loans are to supplement money received from insurance settlements and credit available locally from commercial or cooperative lending agencies. For farmers and non-farm people the loans are limited to repair or replacement of dwellings and related fixtures. The structure as restored or replaced need not be identical to that destroyed by the storm; however, it must be modest in design and cost and fit the needs of the borrower family. If income is lost or in­ terrupted because of the storm, principal payments may be deferred. County Supervisor Becker emphasized that the Rural Housing Disaster loans are to meet a special need, and are in addition to the regular FmHA loans available to farmers, rural residents, and rural communities. Applications and inquiries may be directed to Robert C. Becker at his office in Belvidere. The address is P .O. Box 217, Appleton road, Belvidere, 111., 61008. for home and family visits. During the two-year period, 99.6 per cent of the leaves were completed successfully. There were nine AWOLS and four criminal incidents. The most serious incident occurred since this report ~ last weekend when a resident was charged in the fatal shooting of his brother-in-law. Sielaff said, "There is no way to eliminate the risk of some failures in the above programs without keeping everyone locked up. The department's concern about making the best possible decisions to ensure public safety is reflected in the fact that Illinois continues to have one of the leading records of success of all states and the federal government." * * * * Family mystery: Mow jun­ ior can know his lessons when he doesn't even look at his books.
