McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farrell 344-1575 Service Team Answers Questions For Area Citizens A very special service team from Senator Adlai Stevenson's office will be on hand at Crystal Lake city hall on Saturday, Aug. 20, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to answer questions and in­ terview area citizens who are interested in federal programs or benefits to which they may be entitled. The visit may make it easier for residents to find out about these programs and benefits, and may facilitate entry into the right channels to receive the help or information. If you think you may be entitled to some government allocations, go to the Crystal Lake city hall on Aug. 20, and talk to these informative people; you may be surprised by what you find out. Some of the program areas that may be of special interest to our area are housing, Social Security, immigration, Medicare, unemployment compensation, veterans and military affairs. So, remember to jot down the date and times, Saturday, Aug. 20, from 10 to 1 p.m. at the Crystal Lake city hall. This information was passed on to me from Monty Yates, who was alerted by Senator Sevenson's office of the coming visit. NEW ARRIVAL Tom, Marilyn and David Gollan of East Lane are very proud and happy to announce the birth of Suzanne Elizabeth Gollan, who joined the family on July 25. The little angel is a very welcome addition to our neighborhood, even if she does have more hair than Megan Farrell. SUMMERTIME Lesley Curran hosted a salad luncheon for some of the ladies of the village, which was supposed to be held in Lesley's back yard on Aug. 2. However, since nothing ever seems to go right when you want it to, it rained on Tuesday, so we all retreated to the beach house, which does not have quite as much atmosphere. Little mother Joanne Weisenberger couldn't wait to get started eating, so we dispensed with the conversation while we filled our little faces with all the delightful' goodie* "111 the girls had made. All the children behaved very well, (rot the next day it turned out that someone must have been carrying a little bug around, because several of the little rug rats came down with something on Wednesday. I certainly hope it wasn't my salad that did it! VACATION Even village correspondents are allowed some time off, and I'm no exception. There will be no column in the next -two papers, because I am going to be traveling to Florida with my hubby and little girl for a while.

List Procedures To Follow •?'/ ' " s a Vfhen Involved In Accident Village of McHenry Shores Jude La Francis ^85-5067 PAfiF - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1917 would like to join in the fun, call Spinach Salad Toss together 4 cups of snipped spinach leaves. 2 tablespoons finely sliced green onion, one-half cup sliced radishes and one-third cup Roquefort cheese dressing. Makes four spinach salad ser­ vings. v If and When an auto accident does occur, there are a few simple steps a person can take to protect himself and others. First, and primary, are the three basic responsibilities every driver should fulfill without fail: 1. Stop the vehicle without obstructing traffic any more than necessary and turn off the ignition. _ 2. Help anyone who is in­ jured, Using first aid if qualified. Summon medical help or ambulance service, if needed or if requested by an injured person. 3. Identify oneself, give name, address, vehicle license, registration . number and exhibit a driver's licence to the driver or occupant attending any vehicle collided with. if it is necessary to leave in order to obtain medical assistance for others, or for other compelling reasons, first notify persons at the scene and explain why it is necessary to leave. This may avoid misunderstanding about true intentions. If there is damaged, unat­ tended property (such as a parked car), one has a duty to locate the owner or operator and notify him, or, failing that, to attach a note to the property giving one's name, address and registration number of the vehicle. In such case, im­ mediately contact the police department. In any accident involving bodily injury or property damage amounting to more than the legal minimum for notification in the jurisdiction where the accident has oc­ curred, notify the police. Many j u r i s d i c t i o n s r e q u i r e notification if damage is only fifty dollars or $100. Be sure to get the police officer's iden­ tification after he arrives on the scene. Cooperate fully with the police, but keep cool and do not make any admissions about your liability. Don't sign any statements for anyone other than an authorized represen­ tative of an automobile in­ surance company. Before leaving the scene of the accident, gather in­ formation about others in­ volved, as well as possible witnesses. Make certain to identify all other individuals involved. Get the names, addresses jnd seating positions of the operator and occupants of other vehicles, along with the driver's license and vehicle license numbers. Obtain the name of the insurance com­ pany covering each vehicle involved. Identify any other persons who may have witnessed the occurrence. Take down their names and addresses. It is helpful to make notes at the time of the accident. Draw a picture of the accident scene showing the layout of the road or streets, the direction of the vehicle paths, the point of impact and the ^position of vehicles after the crash. Locate any pedestrians. Note the length of each skid mark, and other significant distances, the time of day, prevailing weather conditions and any special conditions such as slick spots or obstructions to vision. Be sure to call the insurance representative or company immediately. Tardy reporting can have dire consequences. Sometimes a delay of a day, or even a few hours, prevents the insurer from effectively defending its policy holder - witnesses disappear, evidence is destroyed etc. People tend to forget tacts and some victims may decide to exaggerate the extent of injuries. Also, if the accident involved personal injuries or more than minimal property damage, file a written report with the proper state authority in the jurisdiction where the accident occurred. An insurance representative can advise as to the specific requirements for such a report, can furnish the necessary form, and probably | jflawil fU'j£s 7 Hit *! * |\4 ! 4 5M Ii 20% OFF New and Exciting Woven Woods Roman Fold-Spring Roller ALSO or Pu"y Shades Ready Made and Made to Measure Draperies by Reliable are 20% Off SALE ENDS AUGUST 18th 815-385-2295 HAVEMEYERS ROUTE 120 BETWEEN V0L0 AND McHENRY *30-5:30 Daily 9:00-5:00 Sat Closed Sunday can assist in its preparation and filing.

CONSUMER GUIDELINES Paper towels, napkins and disposable diapers contribute to conservation of water, energy and raw materials by eliminating laundering. Recent research showed home- laundered cloth napkins took 13 times as much energy to make and use as paper napkins. Paper napkins cost about 2/5* per use compared to 3t per cloth napkins. Disposable diapers, at 9.3t each, beat both laundered reuseables (12.3t) and diaper service (9.8t). If you factor in a woman's time laundering, drying, etc., the difference is greater.
