STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD College Workshops "Especially For Women 99 Women Workers Families with female heads numbered over 7 million in 1975--13 per cent of all families. That's a 73 per cent increase since 1960. Two workshops designed especially for women are among the workshops- this month at McHenry County college. "Women and Health Care (Our Bodies-Ourselves)" is a two-session seminar aimed at teaching women what to expect from doctors and hospitals and how to give themselves preventative health care in­ stead of only treating diseases. Virginia Williams of McHenry, the only nurse practitioner working in McHenry county, will conduct the first part of the workshop Oct. 18, from 7 to 10 p.m. The second session will be taught by Louise Lundemo, director of MCC's health services, Oct. 25, from 7 to 10 p.m. Both sessions will be held in room 249 of the Main hall building. Mrs. Lundemo explained the seminar is aimed at helping women learn to care for themselves and that questions and discussion are encouraged. "Women are the greatest consumers of medical services. They make 25 percent more visits to doctors than men with the ngure rising to 100 percent more visits if you include prenatal care," she said. * The second seminar of particular interest to women is titled *"Home Repair: on becoming a 'home han- dyperson' The one session workshop taught by MCC English instructor Keith Severns will be an introduction to the tools, resources, and attitudes necessary to tackle home repair jobs. Tools, wiring, plumbing, and wood­ working will be briefly covered. The workshop will meet from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24, in the maintenance area in the Main Hall building. "Many people are afraid to try a new project but a success- oriented attitude is at least 65 percent of getting something completed," Severns explains. He said the class will include the things you need to know to decide whether you are tackling an "impossible chore or a manageable one". Students .may . register at MCC's campus or you may call the college for additional in­ formation at 455-3700. * * * m . It's easier to consoli­ date debts than to pay off the larger loan.

Know ± Produce Outlook For October Is Attractive There's good news and bad news in October produce, ac­ cording to Kathi Heberer, McHenry county Home Economics adviser. ^ "The good news is that there are lots of apples available at good prices this fall. We can expect to see apples and apple cider promoted in stores soon." Hard squashes, including acorn, butternut, hubbard, turban and spaghetti, are ripening locally and should be plentiful this fall. Onions are also plentiful and should be available at reasonable prices at least until spring. This is good news because onions were priced quite high last year. Potatoes, too, are in good supply. Some produce supplies are to dry up, especially PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1077 CHILDREN'S COMMUNION-Entertainment followed corporate Communion for children at St. Paul's Episcopal church Sunday. Oct. 0. with a puppet show handled by Clyde BlackwelL Prior to the puppet show which delighted all the parish youngsters, communicants had received Communion and a souvenir from their pastor, the Rev. Arthur McKay. The children also lit candles at the shrine. . sTHt y&sim Does bad weather always accompany a very low pres­ sure system? Bad weather invariably ac­ companies a very low pressure system unless the pressure dips only for a few hours and then rises quickly. A freak situation does occur occasion­ ally and momentarily the weather will hold good, even as the mercury column falls. But, invariably, this de­ cline, if not reversed, will bring winds and probably precipitation. Very low pres­ sure means, a valley on top of the layer of gases surrounding the earth is above you. Air swirls into this vaUey from mountains (high pressure areas) and sets up a counter­ clockwise rotating motion and a weather disturbance-in this hemisphere. Below the Equator, the motion is reversed--it is clock­ wise in low pressure areas, counter-clockwise in high pressure (good weather) systems. fruits. The prime peach- eating season has past, although there will be some peaches in stores from the east and west coasts for a few weeks yet. Fresh local melons have peaked and will be avaUable for several more weeks. Prime plums from Michigan and California nectarines should be plentiful for a short time yet. Cabbage and cucumbers should be available locaUy for several weeks at attractive prices. Commercial supplies of midwest sweet corn and lettuce are about finished. Shoppers may see some higher priced sweet corn from Florida in stores. Salad leaf items are now primarily out of California and somewhat highter priced, too. The bad news in produce is that supplies of Tokay grapes, normally plentiful this time of year, are limited due to weather conditions. Since the grapes didn't get the cool weather needed for turning color, much of the table supply has been diverted to the wineries. a a a a A Statesman is a poli­ tician on your side, who does you a favor. $ ffi 1 S5 I The McHenry Plaindealer 3012 West Elm Street established 1075 AAcHanry, Illinois 40060 Phone 305-0170 I $ 5 Published Every Wednesday I Friday at McHenry, Illinois Sacond Class Postage Paid at AAcHanry, Illinois Oy McHENRY PUtllSHtNG COMPANY WcHwiry HrtnJiriir, Mil W.
