After the business meeting, Joanne Eppers and Ambrose Kittl from the McHenry State Bank Public Relations department showed a very interesting and educational film entitled, "Senior Power", illustrating the various ways in which senior citizens may protect themselves both inside and outside of the home from the hazards of those who take advantage of the elderly. Ms. Eppers answered members' questions and explained how they can procure an iden­ tification card with their pic­ ture from the bank and various other benefits. The members expressed their thanks and a desire to see the film again at a future date.

Swaim IC<E | Youth On The Move I 4-H Exchange This summer, McHenry county has the privilege of hosting five Japanese children for approximately one month. The Labo 4-H exchange program is only one of several International programs geared toward providing an educational cross-cultural experience, helping increase international understanding, emphasising the value of 4-H and similar programs and assisting in the development of youth programs throughout the world. Labo International Exchange foundation is a non-profit Japanese administered foundation which was approved by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in May, 1973. One of the learning principles underlying the program is to provide these children with a natural environment in which language learning can be achieved. An exchange program was the logical vehicle through which both language and cultural learning could take place. The pilot 4-H exchange program was initiated in 1972. by the state 4-H offices of Washington and Idaho. The five families who will be hosting these Japanese children are Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Thompson, of Woodstock, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Harney of Wonder Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Staveteig of McHenry and Mr. and Mrs. Roman J. Miller of McHenry, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dietz of Barrington.

Lindberg said last week. In his monthly report on state payrolls, Lindberg said the total monthly cost of paying state employees was $112.8 million in February, 1976, up $6.2 million from a year ago. Also, the count of state workers has risen by 1,481 since February, 1975, bringing the February, 1976 total to 117, 781 persons, Lindberg reported. Excluding educational in- sitututions, the February, 1976, total was 77.449 state em­ ployees at a cost of $78.6 million, up 833 employees and $3.2 million from a year earlier. Q: Mr. Swaim, I find it very difficult to get along with my business associates. I really have tried but it seems like I . always end up losing my tem­ per and saying things I should not. A: Millions of people are frus­ trated in this day of extreme tensions and keen competi­ tion. We get so involved in our work that it often be­ comes our life and' we can't really see the forest for the trees. You may be trying too hard, putting yourself under more pressure than you can stand. Try loosening up and recognizing that if you don't function at one hundred per­ cent of your business capac­ ity all of the time it isn't any real loss. Christianity is not just an antidote or therapy for mend­ ing relationships. It is a way of life that can help each of us experience greater happi­ ness here and prepare for the hereafter. Many people use Christianity as a tool to un­ lock one door or another, but Christian faith is more than a means to an end, it is an end in itself. It is a complete release from an old way of life and a new life that gives broader dimensions to every aspect of life. For a confidential and Bib­ lical answer to your ques­ tions, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30306. 'Better Hearing' Observance The designation of May as Better Hearing Month should encourage everyone to have an annual hearing test, accord­ ing to officials of the Beltone Crusade for Hearing Con­ servation. . The crusade is sponsored by Chicago-based Beltone Electronics Corporation, world leader in hearing aids and electronic hearing test instruments, as a means of building public awareness to the vitally important need for hearing conservation. While hearing problems have always been one of man­ kind's handicaps, the problem has become more acute in re­ cent years as society has add­ ed greatly to the noise levels many persons are exposed to on a daily basis. This is true, the crusade officials stress, because pro­ longed or continuous ex­ posure to excessively loud noise is regarded as one of the primary causes for hearing losses. And there are an esti­ mated 14.5 million persons in the U. S. who suffer from some degree of hearing loss. While a hearing test will not protect a person from devel­ oping a hearing loss, or al­ leviate a loss that has occurred, it usually is the important first step most hearing loss victims must take toward obtaining help for their handicaps.
