Elm street, McHenry. The charter grants the owners permission10 purchase, sell, lease, and deal in real estate. - (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. Should I buy from a door- to-door salesperson? * A. To answer this question, you must ask yourself several other questions first: Do I really need this item? Can I easily afford it? Could I buy it somewhere else for less money? There are several ad­ vantages of shopping at home. First, If you have trouble getting around, it is more convenient for the salesperson to come to you. He may bring a wider selection of merchandise from which to choose. You may also have the option of paying later for the merchandise you buy. But, there are several disadvantages. An important consideration is where you can go to get the product fixed if it breaks down. In all probability you will never see the salesperson again. By buying from out-of-town people, you are also depriving your town's merchants from your business. Above all, you may end up paying for merchandise which you are to receive later. If it doesn't come, will you know where to go for satisfaction? The salesperson will have your money so he probably doesn't know,, or doesn't care if you don't get what you paid for. Evaluate these pros and cons for yourself and decide what you will do. Remember, there are reputable firms which sell through door-to-door salespeople. ' Q. What if a salesperson says I need some repairs on my home? Fraudulent home repairs is one of the most common schemes to get Illinois con­ sumers* money. If someone comes to your home, stay with him at all times. Do not admit more than one person at all times. In this situation, it is easy for one to distract you while another damages your property. They will then offer to "repair" it for you. - Among the most common of these schemes is the furnace repairman. If you are told your furnace needs repair, call your electric or gas company. They will send someone to check on it, free of charge. Other "repair" schemes include siding, gutter repair, basement waterproofing, roofing, pest control and lightning rod sales. To protect yourself, get at least three estimates from local, reputable dealers. Never allow work to be done until you have asked a second person his opinion.

It's that one chance during the year to "get away from it all", to relax and enjoy themselves. The Illinois Department of Public Health has a few summer vacation safety tips, and hopes persons will take time to read them before going on vacation. Driving: summer roads tempt too many drivers to speed, so be extra watchful of "fair weather racers". Also, when driving, stay afert and drive for conditions. For example, slow down in a rainstorm. Roads can become slippery, and visibility can be hampered. On superhighways, take an occasional break to avoid being hypnotized. Keep the car well ventilated. If stalled in traffic on a hot day, shift to neutral and fast idle. Above all, follow the rules of the road, drive defensively, and always use seat belts. Sun safety: When arriving at the vacation spot and the family is ready for some fun in the sun, keep in mind that there can be some health hazards connected with the sun. So, take sun in small doses at first. Use sunglasses and suntan lotion for protection. When the. temperature rises, drink {flenty of water to make up for loss of body fluids through per­ spiration. Sunburn, heat exhaustion and sunstroke are hazards to guard against. Sunburhed skin will be reddened and hot. Apply burn ointment or cold cream to relieve pain in mild cases. Use a dry dressing and get medical attention for severe, blistered, extensive burns. Heat exhaustion is caused by hard physical effort in extreme heat. The victim's face is pale, the skin is cold and clammy, perspiration is heavy,' and breathing shallow. Place the victim in the shade on his back with his head slightly lowered. Loosen the clothing and get medical help. When swimming, boating, water-skiing, fishing, skin diving, hiking or camping this summer, be sure to know one's skills and limits. Use only PAGE 17-PLAINDEALER.FRIDAY. JULY 1. It77 equipment that is in good condition, and observe all the common sense safety rules. Do not go in or on the water alone, know local water and weather conditions, stay away from the water if it's stormy, and don't go hiking in threatening weather. Enjoying the outdoors is half the fun of summer. So, to enjoy summer to its fullest, think "safety" first. If seeking more information about summer safety, contact the local health department, or write to: Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Education and Information, 525 W. Jefferson, Springfield, 111. 62761. Sunstroke, which is causad by overexposure to the sun and heat, differs from heat exhaustion in that the vitim's face will be red and dry, skin hot and temperature high. Breathing may be slow and noisy, arid the victim may lose consciousness. Place the victim on his back in the shade, with his head slightly raised. Loosen clothing, sponge with alcohol or lukewarm water, and get medical help. * * * * * Too many specialists, not enough broadened personalities, make for narrow viewpoints. x v . ; LENNOX AIR CONDITIONING •TOP DISCHARGE •QUIET OPERATION •ECONOMICAL •COMPACT CB"' da\C (Woetnsi .
