PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALFR-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1975 A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review Recent market action must certainly go down in history as one of the most extreme examples of manic-depressive behavior. Sentiments seem to leap back and forthaboutas fast as the Federal Reserve board can say - or more accurately, others say for it - "relaxation of monetary policy". As wild and volatile as stock market psychology is, the bond market puts it to shame with "only sellers around" to "everyone is a buyer" happening at the drop of a hat or at least at a drop in money supply growth. Since Thursday of last week, the Bulls have had alot of seemingly encouraging things going for them but nothing appears conclusive at this time. Something funny (assuming the non-Bulls have a sense of humor) started last Thursday with the Dow just under 800 and apparently headed further south. First, the comptroller of New York State gave his poor relative a $250 million blood transfusion which improved, a bit, the patient's prognosis. Then FED Chairman Burns admitted that a collapse of New York City would have wide implications on the nation's economic recovery which made investors feel that someone at the top is sympathetic ... a week ago Secretary of the Treasury Simon projected little impact from a default However, the biggest stimulant to the Bulls, and after a five day, 50 point decline stocks were ready for an excuse to rally, were the federal reservefigures released Thursday evening. Coming as quite a surprise, it was announced that the nation's money supply rose at a very modest annual rate of 3 percent in the quarter ended September 24. The Bullish conclusion was that the FED had corrected the previous bulge in the money supply and is now in a position to be much more accommodating. This sparked a very sharp rally in the bond market and also rekindled fires under the stock market Bulls. All of this was helped Friday as the FED infused funds in the market. So far the stock market advance looks like another fitful rally in our 780-840 Dow Jones box and it is too soon to say this trend is real. Also FED policy is far from clear which could continue to cause volatile swings in sentiments and the president's tax cut-spending cut proposal holds Bearish implications. We would stay cautious until a new upleg is signalled by vigorous and broad bidding for stocks which has not as yet occurred. DR.

A HELPING HAND "Editor: "I would like to take this opportunity to tell as many people as possible about the Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children. Our eight-year-old daughter entered the hospital on a Friday morning in August. The parents are told to bring nothing but shoes for the children who enter for a hospital stay. All clothing in­ cluding toiletries are furnished. "The doctors and nurses there are so wonderful to the children that after their first examination the children forget that they are in a hospital. The children enter with a diagnosis and yet before any surgery is performed they go before a group of doctors, in such a way that they are not frightened, then they make a final diagnosis. With our daughter they decided a lesser operation might straighten her foot. "When they enter the hospital they receive a doll and a few books and when they have surgery they receive a big stuffed toy. They are treated so wonderfully and generously by all who are in contact with them - doctors, nurses, aides and even the gentlemen who clean the hospital. They have wonderful food and when their portion is finished, they are asked if they would like more. They are given snacks in the afternoon and before bed. "The services that this wonderful hospital furnishes are free to the patients and all thanks to the Shriners. Many, many of the activities that they have for the children, as well as the snacks, are furnished by the manufacturers. I knew that they are never donated playing cards, and cards pass a lot of time for the children. I received twenty-four decks of cards from one of our business firms and took them in on my last visit to the hospital. They were gratefully appreciated. The hospital cares for children up to the age of 16 and cares not what their background is. Their main goal is to help these handicapped children. During the school season, the children attend classes, where they are taught by teachers. "We are so grateful that our daughter is watched over by this hospital and hope that all who are in need of their ser­ vices will give them a try. See a Shriner member and start the ball rolling. "Mrs. Harold (Esther) Walter" CONFERENCE DAY SUCCESS "Dear Editor: "Recently McHenry high school completed its first parent-teacher conference day of the year. At East campus alone, over 660 conferences were held between individual parents and teachers. This is an outstanding response and in­ terest shown by parents. "Many of us are often guilty of criticizing parents for not showing adequate interest in their schools. I do not believe this is true in McHenry. Parents are interested. My personal observations indicate this is truce from kindergarten all the way through high school. "Many of us as adults are also openly cirtical about modern day youth. Granted, some of this criticism is justified. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the students of McHenry and East campus in particular. I am truly impressed with the quality of our student body. The young adults in our school are increasingly taking more responsibility for their actions. "The adult school family at East campus salutes the parents and students in the McHenry area. We are proud of our educational program and the youngsters we service. "Sincerely, "Gary M.

Keeping up with the latest interpretations of federal and state income tax rules and regulations poses quite a problem-even for tax prac­ titioners and consultants. But the problem won't be quije as big for McHenry county and Northeastern Illinois tax practitioners who enroll in a two-day tax school sponsored by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service. This year's school is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 16 and 17, in the Old Town hall in Crystal Lake. Schools are also scheduled in Rockford Nov. 25 and 26, and in DeKalb Dec. 11 and 12. The school is designed for those who prepare income tax returns for others-not for in­ dividuals who prepare their own returns. The school will deal generally with preparing farm tax returns-but in­ formation relating to all types of returns will be taught.

Millions are curious about what their signs in the heavens say, or supposedly say, and some take the astrology bit very seriously. A statement endorsed by over a hundred prominent scientists recently blasts the current fad as little more than quackery. "The pretentious claims of astrological charlatans" have absolutely no scientific basis, the statement said. While this may be a wet blanket for some making money in the field, and there are unquestionably those exploiting the gullible for profit, many of America's millions following the charts are entertaining themselves more than anything else. It's popular entertainment; three-fourths of today's newspapers carry astrology charts or columns. It would probably be a mark of proper responsibility for papers to note thereby that there's no proven scientific basis for astrology. Congressional Raises In a year when the U.S. budget deficit will set a peacetime record, it's hard to discern any responsibility in the recent action of Congress in raising congressional salaries and those of other top bureaucrats in the federal payroll army. In the House the vote was at first 214-213 against the hike but before the Speaker could announce the result, amid pandemonium, at least one Democrat changed his vote to make the final tally 214- 213 in favor. The legislation went to the President just before the August recess. With millions unemployed, a sixty billion dollar deficit likely for the fiscal year, and the need for economy or even cutbacks in spending apparent, Congress might have not only refused to raise federal salaries but postponed raises due on an automatic basis to thousands of white collar workers in October. Such intestinal fortitude for the good of the nation and taxpayer is, however, rarely witnessed on Capitol Hill in recent years. Are You New In McHenry Area 1 ************ Do You Know Someone new?

TODDLER AND EARLY PRESCHOOLER DEVELOPMENT A child's motor skills are unevenly developed - marked development in large muscle coordination, but small muscles and eye-hand coor­ dination are still not well developed. The child . is gradually becoming able to accept necessary limits and restraints. He wants adult approval. He likes to be close to his mother, but his father is becoming increasingly im­ portant to him. He likes to help around the house and is imitative in language, manners and habits. He is constantly active, but capable of longer stretches of quiet activity toward the end of the age range. He show fatigue by being irritable or restless. He has great curiosity and asks countless questions. You will notice a rapid language development from a few words to 1,000-2,000 words. The child has special needs for affection from parents and a need for a guiding pattern of behavior to.follow in activities, he needs time, patience, and genuine interest from adults. He needs simple, clear routines, limited choices, an opportunity to learn, give and take, and to play cooperatively with other children. The following activities are designed to build on these needs and strengths. A toddler will enjoy a trip to the supermarket, if she-he gets to clutch a box of instant chocolate pudding in his hand - with a plan to go home and turn the egg beater handle - doing some of his very own cooking. Children need to feel and be really needed at home. Work- real jobs- help to instill this essential feeling of being im­ portant at home, of being able to DO THINGS. This feeling of I CAN ACCOMPLISH-SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE carries over to school later. A toddler can also help paint up or fix up his own room or corner of a room. Spread a lot of newspapers and let him use the paint brush on an old chair or table. It's good as a large muscle activity and builds pride. Let him choose his own color of paint, dress him in one of Dad's old shirts and let him have a go at it under % % ROYAL WELCOME * t * * * * * * * * * t * * * * * * * * * $ * * * * * * * K0ENEMANN Country Made Sausages, Hams and Bacon GERMAN IMPORTS AND CHEESES A Full Line Of Delicatessen Just east of Rt 815-385-6260 VOLO supervision. He'll be delighted with both the process and the product. Three and four-year-olds' also find this fascinating! They can also have fun painting large cardboard boxes, which then become toys. A few squiggles by a 2-year-old's brush or careful painting by a 4- year-old makes a table, a car or a train. Again, pride in ac­ complishment accompanies large motor activity. Packing an old suitcase delights toddlers, and can keep them busy lugging it around full of stuffed animals. If you're really going on a trip, 2,3, and 4- year-olds can be sent looking for needed things around the house. But, trip or no trip, an old suitcase or two are great props for dress-up boxes. A main developmental task of 2 and 3-year-olds' is developing language - so much so that a "Language Arts at Home" program could be called "Talk, Talk, Talk." A child who can talk and think is more likely to be able to read and write as he gets older, so talking with children automatically becomes a "Parenting with Pride" ac­ tivity. Riding in the car is an especially good time for story telling - only let the child put the ending on the story. For example, tell a story that poses a problem, one especially relevant to the child's life, and let the youngster tell how he would solve the problem. If necessary, get plot ideas from a book. Be sure, however, to stop before the end or at points where your hero has to make decisions. Once children get the hang of making up stories themselves, encourage them to make up plots that YOU'LL have to solve. A "matching shapes game" is also good for language development and builds skills needed later in early reading. Cut out large duplicate paper circles, squares, rectangles and so on. Put one of each on the floor and ask the child to put the matching one atop it. Move on to smaller and more in­ tricate shapes, and a lot of them, after a child becomes a pro at the first step. Then in­ clude alphabet letters. To read, children have to be able to listen. Listening games are lots of fun, even for the very young. Try thirty seconds of silence. Then have the child tell you what he hears: a car down the street, a bird twittering, a baby crying next door... Play a game of identifying finalize Plans For Legislative Reception Oct, 19 Members of the Woodstock- McHenry League of Women Voters are making final preparations for their third annual legislative reception. The purpose is to give citizens the opportunity to meet and talk with their various elected officials. Unlike candidates' meetings and traditional political gatherings, no speeches will be given. Several hundred are ex­ pected at the legislative reception which will be held Sunday, Oct. 19, 2 to 6 p.m., at the McHenry Country club. A cash bar and hor <f oeuv»res will be available. State Representatives Cal Skinner, Jr., Thomas Hanahan, Bruce Waddell plan to be in attendance. Also expected are mayors and their boards, County board members, school officials and faculties, and other state and federal of­ ficials. All citizens in the community are invited to attend the third annual legislative reception. For further information, contact Mrs. H. D. Girard in Woodstock, or Mrs. Jas. R. Zid of McHenry. Political The public is invited to the V.F.W., Route 120 in McHenry, Wednesday, Oct. 22nd, to hear Dave O'Neal, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor. This event will be held at 8 p.m. and is sponsored by the McHenry Township Republican Women's club. Dave O'Neal, a 38-year-old former pharmacist and business man, won a resoun­ ding victory as sheriff in 1970 and again in 1974 in St. Clair county. He is an Eagle Scout, served in the United States Marine corps. attended McKendree college and is a graduate of St. Louis College of Pharmacy. In August of 1971 he was awarded the outstanding Young Republican of Illinois state award. Out of many candidates, only one is chosen each year. On Feb. 12, 1972, he received the 1971 Distinguished Service award from the Belleville Jaycees. In 1973, he received the Meritorious Service award from East St. Louis Model Cities. O'Neil is married to the former Sandra Finley from Mascoutah and has two daughters, Kelly and Allison. Anyone who has questions concerning Dave O'Neal's appearance in McHenry, may call Mrs. Harry T. (Marge) Wunderlich, Wonder Lake, or Mrs. John T. (Polly) Licastro, 385-1703. Refreshments will be served. sounds: The child closes his eyes and must tell what sounds are being made: a key jangling, the click of tongue in mouth, water running in the sink, etc. Then, turn the tables and let the child play this game on you. For an early or late preschooler who can sit still a couple of minutes, and likes listening games: Tap out rhythms with a fork on a table top. Ask the listening child to imitate the rhythm back to you. Vary the tempos: Slow, fast, loud, soft, etc. Grow more complex as the child's responding abilities develop. Early writing can be done at home and at a center by having a 2, 3 or 4 year old dictate to adults or older children. Ask a 2 year old to help write a letter to grandmother, etc. You write it down, very importantly, and say, "See, look what you said." Make a copy for the child to carry around if he wants. Pictures help develop language and talking abilities at home as well as at school. Ask questions: "Why does that man look as if he feels bad or happy, etc.? Maps are a great home- teaching aid and they're usually free at gas stations. Every child can have his own map. Two years later in school, map talk won't be a foreign language to this child. For Your Inform otion Dear friends, A psychologist recommends, "Wandering through your rooms, and as you look at your possessions maybe once a day, remind your­ self, 'There is nothing here that isn't going to have to be disposed of by somebody else some day! Accustom yourself to looking at your possessions and your relationships with others in this context", he suggests. Respectfully, PETER MJUSTEN & SON .FUNERAL HOME McHenry, Illinois 385-0063
