Wed 35 Years McHenry County college's Ornamental Horticulture exhibit at the Chicago Flower and Garden show has won an award from the Men's Garden Club of America. The award was presented to MCC for the garden which best expresses masculine interest in design and use of plant materials. The exhibit by the Ag club students features a large white birch, a Japanese garden and a large area of evergreens. Flowering plants include quince, forsythia and shadblow serviceberry. The exhibit is a "working display" designed to give flower show visitors in­ formation rather than just something pretty to look at according to Don Barrett, coordinator of the agricultural program at MCC. While the show is in progress the students do demonstrations of plant propagation techniques tfnd floral arranging. This is the third award the college exhibit has won in four years of participation. The first year the college participated the exhibit won silver medal for the most outstanding small exhibit done by an.amateur or sponsored by a non-profit organization. Last year the Ag exhibit won the Massachusetts Horticulture society silver medal The medal was presented to MCC for the garden or exhibit done by an amateur group that stimulated interest in the use of plants and provided the most useful information to the general public. MCC is one of several educational institutions with displays at the show, but it is the only local community college in the metropolitan area with an extensive hor­ ticulture program. The college invites all residents in the district to at­ tend the show at McCormick Place and visit its award winning display at Booth 11. The show is open through April 3 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on week days, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, April 3.

Unsafe Food Practices Prevalent Across U.S. MR. AND MRS. JACK COOPER « Fred and Karen Cooper of Rockford. Michael and Robin Cooper of Minneapolis and Duane and Eileen Sperry of McHenry were host to the thirty-fifth Wedding an­ niversary of their parents. Jack and Pearl Cooper. One hundred and fifty relatives and friends helped celebrate this happy occasion at a reception at the McHenry American Legion post home Saturday, March 26. Pearl and Jack Cooper were married in Chicago March 29, 1942. Jack is a graudate of McHenry high school and has lived in McHenry since 1931. After serving almost four years in the U.S. Army during World War II, Mr. and Mrs. Cooper have lived in McHenry since 1945. They are both members of the Woodstock Moose, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion post and American Legion auxiliary. Mrs. Cooper is a past president of the McHenry unit and is presently serving as secretary. More than one-half of the nomemakers interviewed in a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey regularly violate several safe food practices, says Nancy Moore, McHenry county Extension adviser. These homemakers reported .that they sometimes leave cooked meat, poultry, or salad sandwiches out at room tem­ perature for more than two hours. Others sometimes cook hamburger rare, maintain refrigerator temperatures above 45 degrees, or store leftover stuffing in fowl. ' Y o u n g h o m e m a k e r s , homemakers with more ad­ vanced education, and those from higher-income homes more often make food-safety mistakes, Mrs. Moore adds. The survey also revealed that homemakers lack un­ derstanding of the federal meat and poultry inspection procedures, responsibility for proper hygienic food preparation, and improper refrigeration temperatures. They also lack knowledge about bacterial food contamination or cross-contamination. Today's foods contain ad­ ditives, chemicals, preser- Nichole Boelter Baptized By Rev.

Also present were available free, on postcard * grandparents ---1 vatives and artifical colorings. Many homemakers said they wanted to see these ingredients printed on labels. According to the USDA, the survey establishes the need for more consumer education. It identifies the groups that need food safety information and lists the most effective way of reaching them with such in­ formation. The USDA survey, which involved 2,503 households, served as a basis for the report.

"Friends In Service Here" Wouldn't this world be a different place If we began each day With a thought of helping someone That we meet along our way? Plans are now being made by Fish, for the distribution of food baskets for our neediest families at Easter, as well as Easter baskets for little children. The thought is not to remember these families only once a year, since the need is year 'round. The Girl Scouts will again make baskets for the children, but we can use wrapped candy, gum, small toys, crayons and other small items you know they would like to receive. Also, remember those little things that our Senior Citizens also enjoy. For the food baskets we can use canned goods and non- perishable food - those items in use every day - as well as gift certificates from McHenry foods stores, to be used for perishable items. Canned goods and food items should be received by Satur­ day, April 2. Delviery should be made to a Fish volunteer, but please call 385-6182 and advise when you plan to come. Your help will be most appreciated. Call Fish at 385-8020, or write Box 282, McHenry, if we can be of help to you or you have any questions. Think about becoming a member of Fish.

Will Tara Brent stay married to Phil even though she loves Chuck?...Will Nicole Drake's baby arrive healthy, or is she in for more misery?...Who will be Lisa (Hughes) Coleman's next lover?...Will Jack Fenelli go through with the an­ nulment?...Who cares?.. A lot of people care! In many ways daytime television has "humanized" the medical profession. Daytime serials such as "General Hospital", "The Doctors", "As The World Turns", and "All My Children" all focus primarily on hospitals and the lives of the personnel who work there. But while television has done an outstanding job of making the trials and tribulations of Dorian Lord, Carol and Jay Stallings, and Lesley Faulkner integral parts of our lives, television falters when it comes time to illustrate the behind- the-scenes personnel, without which a hospital could not operate. For example, never has a.,; "soaper" devoted even one episode to the work of a dietitian at a hospital. So to make up for this injustice, " C o m m u n i t y L e a d e r s - Women's Role" is devoting one full episode to one of the many persons who work behind-the- scenes in making McHenry hospital work: The dietitian at McHenry hospital for over ten years, Mrs. Isabel Brody. Ready...action! (Enter Mrs. Brody center stage.) Cut! Before Mrs. Brody speaks, a bit of commentary on her family is appropriate. Her husband Leonard is a lawyer.(How's that for a perfect script, "soap" fans?) But Mr. Brody has gone past just being a lawyer. He is now an Associate Circuit judge for McHenry county. The oldest son, Howard, is working toward a doctorate degree at Michigan State university, and is becoming a doctor. The other son, Jeff, is a journalist for a newspaper in central Illinois. The daughter, Fern, is studying at the University of Illinois. And now...action! "I think a hospital worker is a different breed," she said. "It's not played upon television. You see hospitals, but you don't see kitchen workers. "The dietitian at a hospital isn't known very well," she added. "For a long time you'd say you're a dietitian and they'd say, 'Oh, you're the cook.'" Mrs. Brody is much more than a cook. In fact, she has very little to do with food preparation. Rather, she is seeing every patient each day, and serves as the link between the patient and the kitchen. "I visit the patients and give them instructions on proper diet," she explained. "If a patient has any problems, they tell me about it. JEWELRY | TURQUOISE SALE! I SUNDAY, APRIL 3rd, 9 to 2 MONDAY, APRIL 4th, 11 to 2 TUESDAY, APRIL 5th, 11 to 2 XNDZAN MAN A3? MMMMNtadUMW RT. 31.'/» Ml. SO. OF RT. 120, McHENRY In actuality, the dietitian has a major role in the rehabilitation of the patient. Proper diet, explaining to an individual what foods he or she should and should not eat, and acting as a "friend" to the patient are all responsibilities of the dietitian. Mrs. Brody's role extends beyond the hospital walls. Patients who must be on special diets after leaving the hospital are instructed by Mrs. Brody, or one of two other dietitians, on the "do's and don'ts" of proper diet. Mrs. Brody's mother was a dietitian, and from watching and listening to her mother, learned that being a dietitian was "the interesting part of treatment." She then carried her profession into W.W. II, serving as a dietitian for the 82nd general hospital for eighteen months in England. Mrs. Brody also served as a dietitian for several months in France, before returning to civilian life in the States. "When I started at McHenry. (ten years ago), I only worked halfdays, and that was the only contact between the kitchen and the patient." Between raising three children and aiding her lawyer- husband, Mrs. Brody hasn't had much time up until now to travel. "I like to read," she explains. "But I'm very involved in my job. This is important to me. "Everv day is different," she added. 'Every person you meet is different." Isabel Brody is different also. No, you won't be able to turn on the television set at noon and see her, or her profession, glamorized in living color. And, no, people will never worry about her like they worry about Viki Riley, Diana Taylor, or Dee Ryan. But day-in and day-out, Mrs. Brody is at her job, serving the community's needs in a very important way. That is what makes her a community leader.
