Some of the most com­ mon questions, and their an­ swers, go something like this: Q. If I do seek help, where would I go? A. You could start by con­ tacting your local Community Mental Health Center. More than 600 of these centers have been funded by the Federal Government in different parts of the country and are being operated by State and local groups and agencies. Q. I don't have any hospitali­ zation coverage--where would I get the money to pay for help? A. The cost of any of the services should depend on what you can afford to pay. So--if you have no money, or very little, services are pro­ vided free at these centers. Q. Wouldn't it be better just to tough it out? I don't like to bother other people with my problems--and things could blow over if I just hang on. A. That's like having a tooth­ ache and not going to the den- Hot Air Balloon Among Attractions Of Johnsburg Fest The presence of a hot air balloon Sunday, Sept. 11, will assure that the .

The price you pay is ex­ actly the same--you keep on hurting. Q. Suppose / decide to go ahead and visit one of these centers . . . what goes on in one of those places? What's their treatment all about? A. A specially trained staff member will talk with you about the things that are wor­ rying you. Q. Talk? I can talk to anyone for free--why pay p doctor? A. You're quite right--if you have a wise and understanding friend who is willing to listen to your problems, you may not need professional help at all. But often that's not enough. You may need a professionally trained person to help you dig out what's really bothering you--and you may need some medication.

McHenry Organizations Support JnSjQlTt McHenry Blood Program The McHenry Area Jaycees have been joined by &he McHenry Kiwanis in spon­ soring the McHenry Blood Assurance program. This program, in cooperation with the Aurora Area Blood bank, is now the only program covering local residents. Under the terms of the program, any resident of the area will have blood and its components furnished regardless of where they are hospitalized. All blood used by McHenry and Woodstock Memorial hospitals is supplied by the Aurora Area Blood bank. The Beverly Blood bank, which was formerly sponsored by the Kiwanis, no longer operates a blood assurance program in our area. Therefore, Kiwanis members are urging all people who formerly donated to the Beverly Blood bank to begin supporting the McHenry Blood Assurance program. The next drawing by the Aurora Area Blood bank will be Thursday, Sept. 29. from 3 to 7 p.m. at the McHenry VFW •'clubhouse. MENTAL HEALTH MEETING The next McHenry County Mental Health board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the McHenry County Youth Service bureau, 840 N. Seminary avenue, Woodstock; 4 by Larry Swaim KNOWING GOD Dear Mr. Swaim, how can we know God? I have a very close friend who says that he can learn as much about God by watching a beautiful sunset or looking at flowers than he can by going to church or reading the Bible. It is true that "the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth forth his handiwork" (Psalms 19:1). It is equally true that man cannot know God in the ul­ timate sense through nature alone. The word of God has been given to us for purposes. PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALLR - One of those is to reveal God's nature to us and to share with us what He expects. It is im­ possible to get tnis detailed in­ formation simply from ob­ serving nature. Nature and its beauty are supplementary evi­ dence as to the existence of God and His love and care for us, but the Bible is written that we might know Christ perfectly and that we might come to find salvation in Him. "...These are written that ye might believe that Jesii$»is the Christ, the Son of God< and that believing, ye might have life through His name" (John 20;31). » It sounds as if this person is looking for an excuse not to attend church or study the word of God. So many people will go to any extent to elimi­ nate restrictions in their lives. To me, this is aggep-out, and any person who gives serious thought to the situation will realize that one cannot learn as much about God or Christ, or even about himself, from FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1977 simply looking at nature as he can through a study of God's -• word, for God's word repeals to us in explicit detail God's nature and our relationship and responsibilities to Him. For a confidential and Bib­ lical answer to your question, write Larry Swaim, 985 Ponce de Leon Avenue, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30306.
