Understanding Mental Health EXPAND HOSPITAL SERVICE - Emergency and outpatient services io provide patients with the best possible health care twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week has been started by Memorial Hospital for McHenry County. Specially trained doctors on duty to confer with Mrs. Elvera Shahoda, R.N., emergency room supervisor, center, are Dr. M. Elliott, left, and Dr. BrentScott. (DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) (Editor's Note: This is the twenty-first in a series on UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH, presented as a public service by the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. Purpose is to help develop a much broader understanding of one of this nation's major health problems. Information is supplied with the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Today's presentation concerns ALCOHOL: Etiquette in Drinking. Etiquette means, of course, the manners and rules of behavior generally accepted by one's own social group. In this country we have a mixture of social groups living according to customs drawn from around the world as well as customs that are uniquely American. So we have many patterns of drinking etiquette. Consider, for example, the different ways we offer, serve. consume--or abstain from consuming alcoholic bev­ erages, in such diverse settings as the cocktail party, the corner tavern, the ghetto bar, the college dorm, the rural dance hall, the home with a built-in bar. and the home where alcohol is never served. In one setting it is sometimes an insult to refuse a drink. In another it could be an insult to offer one. In some situations people sip just enough to brighten a meal or social oc­ casion; in others, people routinely drink fast to get high and often drink to get drunk. The significant thing is that in all of these situations people accept and approve of a variety of rules and practices for getting along together. Most agree on what is considerate and acceptable behavior for the specific social occasion. They agree on nearly everything except how to handle alcoholic beverages. When it comes to drinking, we are truly a diverse society. No consensus exists when it comes to serving and consuming alcohol. This confusion has helped to bring trouble to .nearly 10 million men and women who are identified as problem drinkers or alcoholic persons. A new awareness of the extent of this problem has jolted us into taking a closer look at our ways of using alcohol. Throughout history the tribal, religious, ami civil judges of people's behavior have counseled about drinking alcohol. Their usual objective has not been to ban alcohol- that has often been tried and as often rejected-but instead to point out ways that alcohol may % be used as safely as possible. A new publication, Drinking Etiquette, (Pub. No. ADM 76- 305) is available upon request from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, P.O. Box 2345* Rockville, Maryland 20852.

Based on June 1 conditions, as estimated by USDA's Statistical Reporting Service (SRS), the yield per harvested acre in the state is expected to average 38.0 bushels, com­ pared with 39.0 in 1975 and 30.0 in 1974. Temperatures during May were generally below normal, especially early in the month, over much of the nations' major wheat producing area. According to the report, total U.S. winter wheat production is forecast at 1,416 million bushels, down 14 percent from the record production of a year ago but up 2 percent from the- 1974 crop.

Yield per harvested acre is expected to average 30.0 bushels for the nation, down 2 bushels from the 1975 average, but above the relatively low 1974 yield of 29.6 bushels. Freezing weather occurred during the first week of May causing damage in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. The crop was hit in a critical stage of maturity, lowering yield potential, the report stated. Moisture was mostly adequate during the month but shortgages were evident in some areas, especially South Dakota. Cool weather helped the crop in some areas by slowing maturity and allowing kernels to fill. Harvest began in the southern plains but was delayed intermittently by rain.

PLAY TIME...The baseball season is in full swing and you won't find a prettier player than Nanci Clark who prepares for a "practice" game on the golden sands at Miami Beach, Florida. A truly outstanding weekend has been planned at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green street, McHenry, July 17th and 18. The congregation will worship Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at8:30a.m. and 10:30a.m. with a Bicentennial contemporary worship service with the theme, "200 Years Under God." The senior club, under the direction of Norm MacDonald, Jr., will provide special music for both services on Sunday and a soloist will provide special music Saturday evening. Pastor Schneider will speak on the theme, "We Need A New Patroitism!" The women of the church will provide special food for all worshippers to enjoy after services and will also per­ sonally invite to worship all families in the parish. The members of the Luther League will serve the food. The congregation feels it is only fitting to remember their Christian and American heritage as they celebrate the nation's Bicentennial during July. "It is good to pause and look back at our blessings and think about the future as well. It is important for us to ponder what part God has in all of this," the pastor noted. The Evangelism committee, headed by Ted Anderson and Tom Hankins, the Stewardship committee directed by Steve and Lillian Wilkey and the women of the church, coor­ dinated by Ruth Staveteig, are cooperating to make this a very meaningful weekend in the life of the parish. The entire program for the weekend has been reviewed and supported by the members of the church council who in­ clude Dennis Polewaczyk, president; Robert Finkbeiner, vice-president and financial secretary; Larry Lund, treasurer; Carol Nelson, secretary and Parish Education co-chairman; Richard Blundell, Property co- chairman; William Anderson, Property co-chairman; Tom Hankins, Evangelism co- chairman; Steve Wilkey Stewardship chairman; Ben Chelini, Worship chairman; Leith Honning, administrative assistant to the pastor; Pam Umbarger, Parish Education co-chairman; Ted Anderson, Evangelism co-chairman; Parish Worker Kristin Stuhr; Assistant Pastor Arthur Knudsen, and Pastor Roger Schneider.
