The new department will more efficiently provide financial management in­ formation and services to taxpayers. Cancer Society Devotes April To Fund Crusade April is a special month in McHenry county because the American Cancer society's educational and fund raising Crusade gives people a chance to DO something about cancer. "This is a time of very concentrated action," Mrs. Betty Freeman, chairman of the Cancer Crusade now under way in McHenry county, ex­ plained, "Governor Thompson. President Carter and the members of Congress have officially named April as Cancer Control month." During this time several hundred ACS volunteers are trying to teach their friends, neighbors, families and business associates the facts about cancer, including the essential fact that cancer is most curable when detected early and treated promptly. An understanding of cancer safeguards, warning signals- and the importance of physical checkups including cancer tests-could save thousands of lives each year. "While we are trying to save more people with the knowledge we have today, we will be asking county residents to support the threefold ACS program of research, education, (both for the public and the medical and allied health professions) and service and rehabilitation for the cancer patient and family," said Mrs. Freeman. "As our slogan puts it, we are asking everyone to "fight cancer with a checkup and a check." Cancer treatment today often includes the skills of many specialists-surgeons, radio­ therapists, chemother apists and immunotherapists. "For many forms of cancers there are treatment approaches, and drugs that didn't exist a few short years ago," she said. "While our ability to diagnose and treat cancer has shar­ pened, we have been giving more and more attention to the emotional needs of the cancer patient and family. "On one hand, the ACS is supporting highly sophisicated research into the nucleus of the cancer cell, on the other, we are trying to answer simple human RETURN HARMONY To The City Council On Tuesday, April 19r McHenry voters will have a chan­ ce to elect a mayor who will once again make the city's mayor-council form of government work. George L. Harker Is That Man McHenry's mayor-council form of government makes it essential to be a man who can and is willing to work with your elected aldermen in the City Council. Without that cooperation, the city government cannot operate effectively and in the best interests of the people of McHenry. It is not surprising that George Harker has the support of five of his fellow aldermen, including all of the ones who are returning to the council after the election. The only alderman supporting his op­ ponent is not running for reelection. The reason for this show of support is simple. George Harker has in his six years on the council proven himself to be a man of integrity who has worked with the other aldermen and other city officials for the interests of all the people of McHenry. George Harker will be a fulltime mayor. The theme of his ad­ ministration will be cooperation and availability. He has a program of progress for McHenry which he will carry out with the support of the City Council. MAKE McHENRY WORK AGAIN ON TUESDAY, ELECT George L. Harker Mayor Robert P. Blake City Treasurer Paid for by Citizens for Harker Art Jackson, co-chairman questions like this one: "How do you keep a family going when one child is struck by leukemia?" Mrs. freeman believes the best way is through public education, being alert to the message given by any of the Seven Danger Signals, and contributing toward the fight against cancer. Almost every community's drive is under way now. ^American Viewpoints • mmn "rw m mm Experience One man with courage makes a majority. Andrew Jackson Q. How can I save money on a move? A. By simply cutting down on the weight of your ship­ ment. And there are several ways, says the National Insti­ tute of Certified Moving Consultants. For instance: e Discard items you don't need and won't use, such as outgrown clothes and toys and sports equipment, broken yard tools, odds and ends of dishes, books and records and tired furniture. Be merciless; it's worth money. • Sell items through a garage sale, auction or newspaper classified ad. e Consider the sell-and-re- place-later method for large or bulky itemV, the practice piano, bricks for bookshelves, some heavy books, chests, desks. If you're not sure about a particular piece, your Certified Moving Consultant will be happy to estimate how much it would cost to move; then you can estimate the replacement cost. You still have a decision to make, but it is easier. • Consider shipping some articles -- tools, books, other unbreakables -- by slower, cheaper methods. Q. I've decided to do my own packing. What do I do now? A. First, start early. Pack the things you won't need before you move, such as blankets during the summer or garden­ ing equipment during the winter. Set aside at least a day for each room to sort and pack items from closets, cupboards and shelves. As you pack, identify each box by which room it will occupy in your new home. Leave yourself time to do the things many people don't normally think of; returning borrowed items "discovered" during packing, claiming loaned items, arranging special services (pet shipments, parcel post shipment of books and other items, etc.) and paying bills. Q. How much will my move cost me? A. That depends on the actual weight of your household items and the distance to b« moved, cartons purchased and additional services con­ tracted by you -- not the estimate. Contrary to popular belief, your estimate is not a bid. A low estimate does not neces­ sarily indicate a low cost. If it is much lower than others, chances are it is inaccurate, which could indicate inex­ perienced personnel. One way to protect against» such inaccuracies is to make sure the moving consultant is certified by the National Institute of Certified Moving Consultants and carries a valid 1977 certification card from the Institute. Each CMC has passed strict experience requirements and a thorough test of his knowledge. Ask for his credentials when he ap­ pears at your door. Representatives from all moving companies are invited to study for accreditation.
