The truck was wedged against a tree and had to be pulled from it before the victim could be removed. Using the winch on the rescue vehicle, the squad members pulled the truck from the tree and another winch was used to pull the door of the truck open. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Public Recreation Survey To Study Illinois Needs If that Illinois camping trip the family takes ten years from now is a success, it may have Stan Lieber to thank for planning ahead Lieber. a Southern Illinois University-Carbondale geo­ grapher. is directing the largest single state survey of public recreation needs ever conducted The results, he says, could net Illinois up to $50 million in federal funds for planning and developing recreational facilities in the state. By next summer, Lieber and a team of SIU-C investigators should be able to give state officials an accurate picture of Illinois future recreation needs and what it will take to meet them. A total of 10.(XX) householder - 9.000 in Illinois and the remainder in bordering states- will have been surveyed by telephone by the end of January to find out where they have been going to spend their leisure time< Illinois or else - were) and why they have been going there. They will be queried for in­ formation on such recreational activities -as swimming, boating, hiking, bicycling, camping and off road vehicle use. The phone survey is being conducted by SIU-C's Social Science Research bureau under the direction of Roland Hawkes. Concurrently some 4,000 Illinois public and private recreational facilities will be surveyed by Dwight MeCurdy, an SIU-C forestry professor Once all the data are assembled, Lieber will analyze it and develop a comprehensive recreation plan covering the next twenty years. The entire project has been designed so that state and federal officials will be able to update it periodically, according to Lieber. easily the most iensive survey of state recreation facilities ever conducted-both in terms of numbers surveyed and the information gathered," said Lieber. "Most state surveys do not delve into the reasons people choose various locations and forms of recreation. We are going back four or five years to find out why people went where they did and what kinds of things they did while there," said Lieber. According to Lieber, the survey will also provide im­ portant background in­ formation on respondents-- things like lifestyle, socio­ economic characteristics, family size and makeup, and geographic location Of the 10.000 households surveyed, one-fifth will be in the metropolitan Chicago area Approximately 600 will come from the St Louis area and the remainder from throughout the state. The SIU-C project is funded by a $97,755 grant from the Illinois Department of Con­ servation, which will pass the information along to the federal Department of the Interior in hopes of qualifying for some $10 million a year in federal planning and development funds over the next five years, said Lieber. "A well-considered, com­ prehensive recreation plan incorporating accurate and up- to-date information will qualify Illinois for funding." Lieber said "We are confident our survey will result in data that are more accurate and far reaching than any conducted »to date anywhere," he said. The data should give state and federal officials a head start in planning new recreation facilities and maintaining present facilities. "We are faced with limited natural resources -not just in Illinois, but throughout the nation-and getting an accurate picture of how we can expect these resources to be used should lead to greater ef­ ficiency and effectiveness in planning and managing recreational resources," Lieber said. Hot Dog! The Polish call it kielbasa, the Spanish say chorizos, and the Germans order wurst. In Denmark, you ask for rulte- spuls, medwurst in Sweden, and salsicha in Portugal. In France, you would ask for saucisse. But Americans simply say, "hot dog, please," for the All-American favorite whose origin goes back almost four centuries. Tradition has it that Frankfurt, Germany, was the birthplace of the hot dog in about 1600. In 1865, a German butcher introduced a sausage in a roll at a small stand on Coney Island -- for 10 ccnts. The term "hot dog" was coined in 1905 by a sports columnist who created a cartoon about the Red Hot Dachshund Sausages. Since he could not spell dachshund, he called it dog, or "Red Hot Dog." Regardless of its origin,this popular favorite of all ages sells at the rate of 41.5 million every day, or a whopping 16,500,000,000 each year! And that's a lot of hot dogs. Hot dogs are generally sold 10 to the pound, with each frank averaging 1.6 ounces. There is now a convenient new storage container spec­ ially designed for hot dogs. The Hot Dog Keeper by Tupperware is a stackable, space-saving (only one-inch high) container for use in the freezer or refrigerator. Rows of pyramid-shaped pro­ jections on the container bottom keep the franks separated. Unless a freshness date is stamped on the package, hot dogs should be used within seven days of purchase. They can be frozen for approx­ imately two to four weeks. Following is a recipe with a twist -- designed to appeal to Irot dog lovers of all ages. \ Hot Dog Twists 1 ' cup buttermilk pancake mix 1 teaspoon onion salt | 1/4 cup shortening, soft 113 cup milk i 8 hot dogs 8 cheese strips, about 1 x 1/2-inch Prepared mustard Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine pancake mix and onion salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, stirring lightly until moistened; form into ball. Turn out on lightly floured board or pastry sheet. Roll dough to form a 12 x 8 inch rectangle: Cut into eight strips, each 12 x 1-inch. Split hot dogs down the center but not to the ends. Fill each hot dog with a cheese strip; spread center with mustard. Wind a strip of dough around each hot dog, spiral fashion, fastening dough at each , nd with a toothpick. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Jl vintage year for ornaments ̂ Remember all the unique Hallmark Christmas ornaments we offered you in 1975?

Green Street McHenry, IL Survey MCC Students On Work A survey of McHenry County college students conducted by the college's placetnent and financial aids department shows 82 percent of the students are working while they attend school, with 38 percent working full time George Cowgill, MCC coordinator of placement and financial aids, explained 227 students are included in the survey which will be used by the college in seeking jobs for students and in determining financial aid levels. The survey included 145 male and eighty-two female students, with 62 percent of those surveyed in their first year at MCC. "The survey showsutfs percent of the students live with their parents, with 29 percent within five miles of the college and 8 percent twenty- one or more miles from the MCC campus," said Cowgill. "Eighty-seven percent of the students surveyed drive a car to get to their MCC classes and those students estimated their average monthly cost for gas, oil and general maintenance on their automobiles at $50 per month. "Other information collected in the survey will be valuable to the MCC placement office in seeking jobs for MCC students," continued Cowgill. "Thirty-eight percent of the students said they had five or more years of work experience, with 20 percent with one or two years' experience. Twenty-two percent of the students are working in sales, 11 percent are employed in technical fields, 12 percent in factory or produc­ tion type jobs, 7 percent in secretarial jobs and 10 percent in management positions." The survey of students taking credit classes at MCC also included questions on salary levels. "Currently, 18 percent of the students employed make $5 per hour with 20 percent being paid between $2 and $2.50 per hour," said Cowgill "Sixty-two percent of the students survived were enrolled as full time students at MCC." concluded Cowgill, "with more than half of the part time students taking two or more courses. Nineteen per­ cent of the students who an­ swered the questionnaire are taking MCC courses to help them get a new job, with another 15 percent taking courses to help them move up in the company where they are currently employed. Others are divided almost evenly in their reasons for attending MCC, with 32 percent saying they plan to transfer to another college and 33 percent citing personal development as their reasons." Close toMome Notes on an After Dinner Activity The worst part about a din­ ner party is what comes after -- washing the dishes. Dirty dishes don't disappear; on the contrary, they become harder to clean the longer you let them sit. If you've used a broiler, roasting pan, or some other utensil in which grease has developed, soak it in water and detergent right after re­ moving the food. Otherwise, the grease will claim squatter's rights. When you finally work up the ambition to wash, don't attack the dishes with an overabundance of detergent. It won't get them any cleaner, and you'll just spend more time rinsing out the sink. During an emergency, it's always women and children first. During your dishwashing crisis, it's glasses and silver­ ware first, followed by cups, saucers and plates. Finally, wash those cooking utensils you've had the foresight to soak. Allow dishes to drain dry. Glass and silverware may be effectively dried with a lint- less towel. Automatic Dishwashers -- This is another in a long line of emancipating devices for the American homemaker. Not only does it save time and la­ bor, but it has had an impact on hygiene. The 150° F. to 160° F. temperatures main­ tained during dishwasher op­ eration aid in killing bacteria that handwashing misses. Make sure that the dish­ washer is loaded properly and that the detergent is poured into the reservoir provided for it. Detergent accidentally spilled on aluminum or silver can cause discoloration. Fol­ low directions specifying the detergent quantity. Too little will not adequately remove food particles. Too much can cause a film or white crust to settle on dishes. Not all kitchenware can withstand a dishwasher's forceful action. Wooden salad bowls should be hand-washed quickly in warm, sudsy water, then dried immediately with c towel. China that has a pat­ tern overlaying a glass coat­ ing (overglaze) should also be gently washed. Hard Water a Factor--Hard water can cause spotting or streaking. When combined with detergent, it can form a curd or gummy scale hard to rinse off. Some detergents in- Valley View Sets Date For Christmas Show The annual Christmas music program at Valley View school will be held Wednesday, Dec. 15. at 2 p.m. in the school cafeteria.
