Potassium One of the most crucial func­ tions of potassium is to help maintain a regular heart beat. A potassium deficiency can induce an erratic heart beat as the car­ diac muscle is deprived of this regulator. Potassium also aids in the transfer of cellular energy --blowing muscles to contract, nerve impulses to be sent, food to metabolize, and other vital processes to be performed. over 300 people have already signed up for mchenry state bank's MKT DEPOSIT SERVICE A FULL SERVICE BANK A FULL SERVICE BANK NO STANDING IN LINE Under a new taw passed by Congress, you need only fill out a single authoriza­ tion (Standard Form 1199) to authorize direct deposit of regular government checks -- including Social ,Security--to your bank ac­ count.

ELM STREET McHENRY, ILL. im(i coarounoN Declare All Contracts For '74 Fair Void Illinois Attorney General William J. Scott has advised Auditor General Robert G. Cronson that all contracts entered into by the State Fair agency for the 1974 Illinois State Fair are void. Scott, in a legal opinion requested by Cronson, took primary notice of the fact the State Fair agency was not operating in compliance with the Illinois Purchasing act at the time the contracts were let. Scott said the agency had violated the act by not having rules or regulations for letting contracts; by letting contracts in excess of its appropriations; and by not having a certificate of compliance from the Secretary of State which authorizes an agency to expand funds. The State Fair agency 'ventually complied with the restraints of the Purchasing act by promulgating contract- letting regulations which took effect Dec. 1, 1974. The Attorney General's opinion took note of the efforts of the legislature in 1975 to provide payment for almost one million dollars in debts that exceeded the Fair agency's appropriation. Scott said that that legislation was aimed at providing payment for claims arising out of contracts which were void for lack of ap­ propriation. He said the legislation does not authorize payment for contracts that are void for other reasons. Scott's opinion pointed out that, when Public Act 79-273 was passed, "it was a matter of common knowledge that some vendors had not complied with the Illinois Purchasing act; it was not generally known that probably none of them had."

What Just One Person Can lie I Do 1 DOROTHY AND ROBERT DEBOLT. PARENTS In 1970, Dorothy Atwood married Robert DeBolt, president of an engineering company in Piedmont, Calif. Dorothy, a widow, had five children of her own. She also had four adopted children - two Korean and two Vietnamese. Robert had one daughter by a previous marriage. They have since adopted seven more children, most of whom have been crippled by birth defects, battered by abusive parents or scarred by war. At the time of their marriage, the DeBolts agreed that they "were going to open our hearts and home to all who would enter." "I don't think we realized then," Mrs. DeBolt adds, "that so many would be knocking on our door." Robert explained that, because social service agencies pay for medical expenses, it is not much more expensive to raise a handicapped child, than a healthy one. But he added that a handicapped child needs more attention and more love than a healthy one. Why do they do it? "What we feel constantly," said Dorothy, "is the joy of it all. To see little kids who've had all the dignity crushed out of them regain it through love.And to think most of these little tykes never would have been able to enjoy anything unless..." The DeBolts have recently set up a non-profit foundation to recruit families to adopt handicapped children. It's called Aid to the Adoption of Special Kids, P.O. Box 11212, Oakland, Calif. 94611. "Everyone knows the dif­ ficulties," they commented. "We want to let them know the joys."

Tips For The Novice Automechanic -- by Scott Connor- Battery Water: It's All Around Even many service stations today use ordinary tap water in batteries rather than the distilled water recommended by battery companies. Where the mineral content is rela­ tively low, tap water is an acceptable substitute. However, why settle for second best? Pure water is all around. Do you have a de-humi­ difier? How about a furnace- mounted air conditioner or an older refrigerator - one that is not automatic de­ frosting? These devices all condense moisture out of the air, moisture that if caught and stored in a non-metallic container is super for keeping your automobile battery in good shape. Of course, you will have to defrost your refrigerator first to get water from that source. But this water will be free of any minerals that can short- out the cells in a battery and cause the purchase of a new one before the life span has been realized from the old one. That it does extend the life of the battery is borne out by the fact that the last battery I replaced in one of my cars vas the one that came with it when new in 1963. I replaced it in late 1972! Of course, I cleaned the top and case twice yearly with a little baking soda and water and kept the terminals clean and tight. And tuning the car often enough to keep it easy starting all helped. But without the "clean" water, I am sure it would have failed before the 123,672 miles it lasted! Another source of such water is rain water, collected in earthenware, plastic or glass containers. Yes, it's a little extra trouble, but in our present material and energy-short economy, we owe it to each other and to ourselves to utilize our resources, what­ ever they are, as efficiently as possible. Extending the life * of our automobile compon­ ents is one of the ways this can be done. of the "I DON'T THINK YOU'VE HEARD A WORD I'VE SAID...'

Front (South Rte. 31) McHenry, III. 385-0882 TELEPHONE service for the deaf is available in some parts of the country. A tele­ typewriter, labeled a TTY, is hooked to a regular tele­ phone and has a keyboard similar to a typewriter. The deaf person can type out in­ formation requests which can be received in offices which have the same equip­ ment. The TTY transmits special signals on the tele­ phone lines and the receiving end converts the signals into print on the special receiver. About 600 households in Washington, D.C., have a TTY now and more are be­ ing installed. Public institu­ tions such as the library, the police department and the city's mass transit office have TTY devices. AN ANALYSIS of em­ ployment practices made by The National Council on the Aging for the U.S. Employment Service shows that about half of those be­ tween SS and 64 referred to employers by state employ­ ment services are hired. The proportion is about the same for those referred who are younger than 55. Unex­ plained is the fact that while 40 percent of those under 45 are sent for job inter­ views, the percentage drops by half, to 20 percent re­ ferred, in the 55 and up age group. $
