Published by order of the Mayor and City Council Mayor City Clerk Calling Colleen Boyfriend Resentful Of Family Ties BY COLLEEN DUDGEON I'm just miserable over a ; recent break-up I had with my boyfriend and I don't know what to do We've been going out for almost a year and we have discussed •marriage. He's the first man I've [ been able to trust ;and I have de­ voted the past .year to making him happy. He's four years older than I am (I'm 22) and he's been on his own for quite some time. He's mad at me because I still keep close ties with my family. They live in a small town that's about 75 miles from where I ' work. I like to go home at least twice a month to visit my folks and see my two younger sisters. My boyfriend says I'm being a baby because I like to go home. He said he can't stand it when I take off for the weekend and ' leave him here with nothing to ; do I've asked him to come home - with me, but he refuses every Itime. I will not stop seeing my ; parents because they are such an important part of my life. "^However, I don't want my ; boyfriend to end our relationship l>ecause I'm so stubborn Do you ' know howl can reason with him? •He thinks I should be able to be happy with him and nobody else Rejected Dear Rejected: £ I respect and admire your devotion to your family. You are luckier than most to be close to , them. Your boyfriend is more than likely jealous of the relation­ ship you have with your parents and sisters. Try to convince him to take a weekend and go home • with you. Certainly he would en- jov meeting your family if he has intentions of marrying you in the future.

Temporary Halt In Rock Throwing Trial The murder trial of Gary L. Campbell continued this week, with proceedings grinding to a halt Tuesday afternoon, just before the prosecution was to finish presenting its case. Campbell is on trial for the rock-throwing death of David Klawes, a truck driver who was killed when a rock crashed through his windshield on U.S. Rt. 14. Oct. 20. partially decapitating him. Earlier in the trial, photos of the deceased were admitted into evidence and shown to the jury. However, this week, an effort by the prosecution to enter the van from which the rocks were thrown into evidence was denied by Judge James Cooney. The prosecution hoped to admit the van into evidence to show that it was impossible for persons in the van to not know what the others were doing. Earlier this week, the other four co-defendents in the murder trial, who all pled guilty to aggravated battery and attempted murder, testified that they were unaware of what the others in the van. including Campbell, were doing. Wednesday, the trial ' was delayed throughout the mor­ ning while Judge Cooney heard other matters. It is continuing throughout this week, with the prosecutioh expected to close its case by Friday. The defense attornies for Campbell have subpoened eleven potential witnesses, and depending on the* number called, the trial could last for another week Make Agency Available To Help The Elderly A woman in northeastern Illinois who accepted a fifty dollar check which then "bounced"--A man in Chicago who was having trouble collecting his "Circuit Breaker"' benefits---A Galesburg woman who could not meet her high utility bills-- What do all of these elderly citizens have in common0 Josephine K. Oblinger, director of the Illinois Department on Aging said, "Each knew that by writing 'Aging, Box 60, Springfield, 62705", help would soon be on the way. All of the letters receive prompt, personal at­ tention."' In many cases, she says, the problems are turned over to the appropriate area agency on aging < there are thirteen within the state), which can give localized help. Other persons just want information about the various programs which the department helps to fund, or have a specific question which "Box 60" staffers can answer. All types of questions can be handled, including those about "Circuit Breaker" property tax relief, Social Security benefits. food stamp eligibility, location of nutrition projects in the persons' area, where to go for driver's education training, end for assistance with con : sumer problems. The list is as varied and interesting as the people it serves. Copies of brochures are also available by writing "Aging Box 60", as are application forms for the "Circuit Breaker" benefits. Persons interested in receiving the department's quarterly newsletter, or in keeping current on legislative news can ask to be placed on the newsletter or legislative update mailing lists. All that is needed to set the ball rolling, explains Oblinger. is a brief letter with pertinent facts and the name and address printed on the letter. Telephone and other necessary numbers are helpful (for example, Social • Security or claim numbers). If writing capabilities are limited, the name, address and telephone number will be enough information. a Remembsr to write "Aging Box 60, Springfield 62705" -- help is as near as the mailbox!
