Jack Schaffer, R-McHenry county, limiting the number of federal, state and local elec­ tions in Illinois was passed recently by the Senate. The measure now goes to the House of Representatives for consideration. The legislation calls for five elections in odd-numbered years and two in even- numbered years. This con­ solidation puts a ceiling on the number of times voters are requested to cast ballots. "Illinois voters are being asked to run to the polls time after time, sometimes several times a month because there is no limit to the number of elections held each year," Sen. Schaffer said. "Not only is this an in­ convenience to voters which, results in lower voter turnout, but the bombardment of elections makes it difficult for voters to familiarize them­ selves with issues and can­ didates," he added. Schaffer's bill (SB 1149) calls for a primary in March and a general election in November of even-numbered years for the election of federal, state, county and some special district officials. During odd-numbered years, a primary would be held in September or October and a general election in November to choose county com­ missioners and some judges. Also in odd-numbered years, a municipal-township primary would be held in January and a municipal-township election would occur in March for the election of local officials. The bill would not affect Chicago municipal elections. In April of odd-numbered years, a non-partisan election would be held for voters to choose members of school boards and other non-partisan posts. According to the measure, all public questions must be submitted to the voters during general elections; thus, eliminating unnecessary election days caused by special referenda. The bill passed 52-1.

Have you ever won­ dered why it's so much easier to tell someone else how to do something than it is to do it yourself? by JOSEPH COOLS s tuff ps \ c ho log is t news from the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County -- (Editor's note: This is the thirtieth in a series of especially written articles for McHenry county readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health staff. This article is "Coping - Anxiety.") Everyone at some time has experienced the feeling of anxiety when in a stressful situation. This is, of course, a normal human reaction and is nothing to be concerned about. However, when the anxiety is severe or prolonged, or dc seem to be related to /any specific incident, it may/be a concern to the individual \ Severe anxiety can be\ex- tremely upsetting because it can interfere with every aspect of a person's functioning. The symptoms usually include fear, which may lead to a feeling of panic, a feeling-that one may be having a nervous breakdown or have a fatal illness. Also, the anxiety may interfere with appetite and sleep as well as cause a great variety of somatic difficulties such as, stomach pain, digestive dif­ ficulty, headache, chest pain, feelings of pressure in the neck or throat, numbness in the extremities, sweating, diz­ ziness or any number of other physical symptoms. Another important aspect of chronic long lasting anxiety is the presence of short "anxiety attacks." During an anxiety attack, which may last for a minute or up to an hour or more, the feeling of fear and panic is intensified dramatically. Despite the fact tha^ a person may have ex­ perienced anxiety attacks in past, each new attack is lightening in itself. The person lay believe he is having a ?art attack or is losing his mind. Although the anxiety is very uncomfortable and frightening, the problem typically does not lead to serious emotional or physical illness and does respond favorably to treat­ ment.
