Much of this forgotten property was probably left in banks or safety boxes by deceased persons who had failed to make records of their holdings so that heirs could claim them, according to Anthony J. Fornelli, director of the Illinois Department of Financial Institutions. "Although older men and women continue to be active. Dental Health Week INNER HARBOR, OCEAN SPRINGS, MISS. Travelers Make Friends In Southern Apartment (by Father William O. Hanner, rector emeritus, retired, of Holy Comforter church, Kenilworth, Episcopal). Novelists are rated on many things. Critics grade the plots, the movements, the portrayal of characters, descriptions and rising and falling actions. You get all these in an apartment. It is said in an apartment you never get to know your neigh­ bors. Not so! Not so!!. Our apartment fronts on Beach drive here in Ocean Springs. There is a clubhouse, a fine swimming pool and a row of two-bedroom apartments where folks with more family or more money than the Hanners hang their hats. Behind these apartments (in a two-story building) are two rows of smaller quarters parallel to each other and at right angles to the front section. Here live the hoi paloi, and we a fine crowd. We are mainly in two-room apartments. They are cheaper and not so much bother. We are in a rented two- roomer, furnished. It costs us less to live here for a month than in our own house in McHenry. Across the center parkway from us lives Lt. John Isett. His daddy once had a business in Crystal Lake. The lieutenant is in the computer programming department at Keesler field. He is an earnest devotee of automobiles. He spends our fine weather polishing and honing his car to a purring motor operation. Its ap- they are still subject to sickness, loss of memory or other debilitating conditions and should keep clear records of their holdings," Fornelli said recently. "Take time early in life to make records of your safety deposit box, its location and number, for instance," he said. "This department in 1974 ac- cumulated^ one and a half million dollars which had escheated to the state, un­ claimed for at least 15 years. If we cannot find the heirs to such property, we are empowered to place the money in the state employees pension fund." Records of bank accounts, deposits in credit unions, money owed to small loan companies, all should be kept in a safe place and children or other inheritors should be told where these valuable records are kept. Sometimes a family believes it has inherited a large property only to find that an undisclosed loan on it must be paid. Loss of memory is not reserved to the elderly, For­ nelli added. "The state doesn't enjoy obtaining abandoned property, but the law gives the cash or other property to the state," he said. "Last summer at the State Fair, the department auctioned abandoned watches and jewelry left in safety boxes and raised $42,000.00 for the pension fund." pearance reminds me of a starry eyed bride sighting her intended at the head of the aisle. She is all beamy and ashine for him. That is the way this car shines. In the apartment above us resides Patrolman Gautreaux of the Ocean Springs police force, who works all odds and ends of shifts. He is forever on the job, sort of like a parish priest or a devoted pastor. Also above us live Tish and Bill Mantzke. They are both sergeants in the Air Force. They drive a Volkswagon station wagon in which they have recently arrived from Alaska, having driven all the way down in the dead of winter along the Alcan highway, through Canada, Montana and across the nation to Keesler. One day there was a storm warning for the Gulf coast. Cyclones hit nineteen towns in Mississippi and Louisiana. In the midst of this there came a loud insistent ringing of our bell and a thumping on our door as Tish clamored for entrance. She wanted company while her Bill was at the field. The storm was busy taking Macomb, Miss., apart and piling up destroyers in Ingalls shipyeard at Pascagoula, where it broke the lines mooring them and puhsed them across the^fiver into other naval vessels under construction. Mrs. Hanner made tea and Tish was safe and fed. The robins are in hordes behind our apartment where the live oaks trail their Spanish moss -- the local pussycats stalk them without much success. I am sure these are the very same robins that even now are planning their early return to Whispering Oaks and McHenry. Down a bit is a pond over­ shadowed by the oaks and here in the midst of night, frogs set up an unannoying worship of the joy of living. A block away live Mr. and Mrs. Everett Bart, now retired. Mr. Bart, they tell me, is 80; he moves like a boy. The Barts have on three occasions, brought a dozen of their prize camellias. Even as I write they grace our table. We met them at church. They retired here from New England. On Sunday we sit on the Referendum Quiz McHenry County College The McHenry County college board of trustees, upon the recommendation of a citizens advisory committee, has decided to ask the residents of McHenry county for the first increase in the Educational tax rate since the college was founded in 1967. In order to inform residents of McHenry County, key questions per­ taining to the March 8 referendum are answered below. QUESTION: Why does MCC need the money? ANSWER: Since 1968 there has been a 44 percent increase in the college transfer program and a 173 percent increase in the occupational program, for an overall increase of 87 per­ cent in credit programs. The headcount has increased 101 percent since 1968, from 1,379 to 2,978 students. In addition, during the past six years the expenditures in the Education fund have exceeded the revenue, resulting in an ac­ cumulated deficit of ap- proxmately $185,000. This deficit together with an inadequate source of revenue has slowed the scheduled expansion of our curriculum and student services. QUESTION: How much money will the referendum raise and what will it cost an average taxpayer? ANSWER: A 5 cent levy, if levied all at once, would amount to $300,000 a year in increased funds for the operational budget. The tax increase on a home with a market value of $25,000 will be approximately $5 annually. QUESTON: How long will the 5 cents be good? ANSWER: Our five-year budget projection indicates that a 5 cent levy increase will last approximately two years. QUESTION: How does MCC compare taxwise with other community colleges in Illinois? ANSWER: McHenry County college has the lowest tax rate in the state of Illinois. QUESTION: Why not just raise the student tuition? ANSWER: Last Fall, the board of trustees raised MCC tuition from $12.50 to $15. a semester hour which is presently the third highest in the state of Illinois. QUESTION: What happens if the referendum does not pass? ANSWER: The college will be forced to reduce services to the community and students; to reduce or eliminate programs; thus making a college education beyond the reach of many of the students. QUESTION: What effect or implications does this referendum have as far as the new campus is concerned? ANSWER: The passage of this referendum affects the new campus since it will insure the continuation of current programs for which the new campus is designed. Failure to pass will reduce enrollment due to program curtailment and will delay the building of Phase II because the state projects building needs upon student enrollments. The referendum is scheduled for March 8. The pools will be open from noon to 7 p.m. If you have any questions on the upcoming referendum, please call the college, 459-6800, ex­ tension 59. (February is the twenty- seventh Annual National Children's Dental Health month. As part of the ob­ servance and in cooperation with the McHenry County Dental society, we are featuring some facts you should know about dental health.) Question: The dentist says our 11-year-old has gum disease. How can a child so young have such a problem? Answer: While it's true that periodontal (gum) disease is more prevalent among adults, may children, unfortunately, also have some form of this disease. Periodontal disease normally develops in two stages. Symp­ toms of the early stage, called gingivitis, are swollen and inflamed gums which may bleed easily. A more advanced stage, periodontitis, involves both the gums and the bone supporting the teeth. If left untreated, this destructive form of periodontal disease will destroy the bone and.cause the teeth to loosen. Chief villain is bacterial plaque -- a sticky film of harm­ ful bacteria that constantly forms in the mouth. As the plaque builds up on the teeth along the gum line, bacterial irritants cause the tissues to become red, puffy, sore and likely to bleed. If plaque is not removed daily, it can harden and evelop into calculus (tartar). As calculus builds up, the gums separate from the teeth, leaving pockets or spaces between the teeth and gums that fill up with bacteria and eventually pus. An insidious part of the disease is that it does not occur terrace around the pool and watch the young fry drive past on the beach road. On Saturday nights in a Latin American town the boys and girls promenade about the square. The boys pass in one direction, the girls in the opposite-eyeing each other, hoping for bit of excitement. In Ocean Springs they gather on the beach. Some sit in cars and sup refreshment while others drive back and forth from the Inner Harbor to the bridge. One lad next to me greeted his cohort with, "Look yonder comes that comet with five cute babes in it. Wow! what a load ' How right he was! Sometimes we walk down to the Inner Harbor shown here. Fishing boats put out for a catch, small cruisers go out for a brief bit, catamarans sail about. It is just like Indian Summer. overnight. Sometimes it takes years of chronic irritation to develop. Periodontal disease can be treated, and the sooner the treatment is started the better. Dentists are alert to the early signs of gingivitis and other periodontal problems* in children. They recognize that a major portion of adult gum problems undoubtedly stem from unchecked cases of childhood gingivitis. That's why it is so important to learn proper oral hygiene procedures - including brushing and flossing -- at an early age. Make sure your child has periodic dental examinations. The child who learns the value of good oral health will carry this philosophy throughout his life.
