COMMEND RESCUE SQUAD Some people are concerned about moving from the city out to the "styx" here in Wonder Lake, especially when they have a serious medical problem. Such was the case with George and Stella Kucaba who now live on Westwood Drive on the west side of the lake. But when George was stricken with his second heart attack recently, the Wonder Lake volunteer rescue squad was at his home within minutes and had him in to McHenry hospital in a very short time. Because of the immediate attention and extensive training of these men, we can report that George i^ now getting along fine. SucK care for the lives of our loved ones at a most critical time arouses deep feelings of gratitude. Not often enough do we give our volunteer firemen and rescue squad the credit due them.

Doll; (jood H by WUUam J. Martin nrs & ense Getting the best value for your shopping dollar always takes extra time. This is especially true when buying clothing. If you follow a few simple rules, you'll end up with clothes that will last longer and fit better. And they may even cost less than you're used to paying. You should carefully inspect every piece of clothing you are considering. First check the fabric for small holes, rips, loose threads and other im­ perfections. Then examine how the item is put together. The stitching should be small and close together, with no loose or broken stitches. The pattern should match at the sleeves, pockets, seams, armholes and collar. In a well made garment, seams will be about one-half inch wide and pinked to prevent unraveling. The button holes should be reinforced and horizontal rather than vertical, to prevent stretching. And if the buttons are out of the ordinary, see if you can buy extras. That way you won't have to replace the whole set if you lose one. The most important step in buying clothes is trying them on. Before you look in the mirror, walk around, sit down and bend and stretch a bit. If the garment's not comfortable, try another size. But even if it feels great, don't let a salesperson tell you it looks great if the mirror tells you otherwise. Readers' questions are welcome and should be sent to P.O. Box 2210, Newport Beach, CA 92663.
