But he fought it--and he beat it. While no visible traces of the disease remain, having polio changed Ed Guettler's life. "It gave me a whole new outlook," he explained. "It made me realize that there are more important things in life than work and making money." "It's just a case of changing values," he added. "It really makes you look at life dif­ ferently." The type polio Mr. Guettler had was, at the time, fatal in ninety-nine of 100 cases. "I was lucky. I was that one in a hundred." Since overcoming polio, Mr. Guettler and his wife of twenty- nine years, Maria, have dedicated their lives toward helping crippled children. Through the Kiwanis club, of which he is a charter member, both husband and wife spend time each summer entertaining the children as clowns at the Crippled Children's camp at Pistakee Bay. Mr. Guettler has been clowning for about twenty years, doing it exclusively for cHarity. He accepts no money for his time and efforts. It was the Kiwanis club which started him off in clowning. The club would throw a party each year at the Crippled Children's camp, and soon some of the members, Mr. Guettler in­ cluded, began dressing as clowns. At the recent Fiesta day parade, Mr. Guettler dressed as a clown for forty children from the Children's camp which Kiwanis brought to McHenry to watch the parade. "I do everything through Kiwanis," he said. "In­ dividually, you can't, do anything. One person can't throw a party for the children at the camp. But, as an organization, you can do things an individual can't." What does it take to be a clown? "Just do it. Once you put on the makeup, you become a clown. You're a completely different person." Working as a team Mr. and Mrs. Guettler have various routines to entertain the children. One of their three grandchildren (they have five daughters) clowned with them at the Fiesta day parade. Being involved with the handicapped, Mr. Guettler has some definite thoughts on Staff photos by Wayne Gaylord Story series by Jeff Bonato programs for the handicapped in the McHenry area. "I think McHenry is very much above average in taking . care of the handicapped. The Pioneer center is great, they have special schools for the retarded...I think people are really looked after in the county." Not that it isn't enough, but Mr. Guettler does a lot more than work with the han­ dicapped. He has taught Sunday School at Zion Lutheran church for nineteen years, and he and his wife were youth leaders at the church for eight years. Where does he find the time to participate in so many community activities? "You have to make time. If you wait for time, you'll find you don't have any." He also credits his family with enabling him to be in­ volved in the community. "My wife and I are partners, and I have a super family." And on a somber note, he added, "The handicapped people you help get something out of it. But you know who gets the real satisfaction out of helping others? You do." If that is, indeed, the case, then Edward Guettler has gotten a lot of satisfaction out of life, for he's done a great deal for the less fortunate through his community work. Mr. Guettler ran the blood donation program for Kiwanis beginning in 1967, although the program has since been taken over by the Aurora Blood Bank. He racalls one man who still gives in the name of the Kiwanis club, and has donated thirty-five pints of blood. It would be harder to find a bigger booster of McHenry than Mr. Guettler. "I like McHenry. I think it's a good town. I've been in business here since 1949, and never had anyone come in and ask for any kind of payoff. "The government is square, and the police are honest. You don't have that in a big city." Health Tip FOOTBALL All over the nation American males are tossing and kicking and running with footballs, all the way from 8-year-olds in the backyard to junior and senior high and college teams to the big bruisers of the professional leaguzs. Football is a rough contact sport and inevitably will produce its full quota of bumps and bruises, strains and sprains, cuts and gashes, Most of these aren't serious and the lads concerned are back in the game shortly. A thorough medical examination is highly im­ portant for boys preparing to go out for football to make certain that there is no physical cof- dition that should be noted before beginning the rigoroys training and hard knocks of the game. Proper physical conditioning hardens the body and increases resistance to fatigue, thus helping prevent injury. A minimum of three weeks of conditioning are recommended proir to the first game of the season. Coaches and team physicians are alert to the fact that many injuries occur when the qlayer is tiring and thus less alert. Good coaching enables the players to perform better and thus be less prone to injury. Good officiating makes for better games and also helps protect players. Proper equipment and facilities are important to reduce injuries. Good first aid procedures and medical care, with a physican available during practice drills and on the bench dujing games > are major factors in- cutting , serious injuries. r 1 '\i~ ro ovi! Precautions against the, extreme heat of early season days also are important. Many i coaches now schedule the hot weather workouts in early moriiing and late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day. The old rule against drinking water during drills and games has long since been proved invalid J* and dangerous. Water and salt are necessary to replace fluids lost through copious sweating. If your boy is playing on an organized team, the chances are good that all of these safeguards are observed. ; If most of his playing is done on a vacant lot in the afternoons and on Saturdays, it becomes the parents responsibility to see that the player has the benefit of the safety principles. Fuel Aid Governor James Thompson recently announced that ninety- six Illinois counties, including McHenry, are still accepting applications for federal aid to offset last winter's increased utility and fuel bills. Under* the program, low-income f in­ dividuals and families, in­ cluding the elderly and the handicapped, who meet the income qualifications specified by the federal government can have payments of up to $250 paid to their utplity and fuel firms. Applications for the fuel aid grants must be received by either Public Aid, Department on Aging, or Division of Vocational Rehabilitation offices soon. BUY 4, GET 5!
