Courthouse Squares Needs Of The Aging Reviewed * At Sessions Vernon (Skip) Kramer of McHenry, of the Kramer Boat company, Fox Lake, recently received top honors, one of which may never be repeated in the history of the Century Boat company. At a recent Century sales meeting in Acapulco, Mexico, Kramer not only received one of the top sales awards for 1977, but he and his company were highly honored for their long tenure of being an authorized dealer for fifty consecutive years. Kramer, left, is shown receiving his award from Century President Allan B. Hegg. Kramer's father, the late George Kramer, took on the line in 1927 and the franchise has been a part of the family ever since. In the 1920's, the elder Kramer converted an old livery stable for the Riverside hotel into his first- place of business. It was located across from the hotel, to become partially obscured with the building of the state bridge. In addition to the sales award, Kramer and his wife, Vivian, who is very active in the company, received an engraved brass antique tray for their half century of doing business. Most kids get off the track because of a misplaced switch. % A series of Speak Out sessions will be held across the state by the Illinois Depart­ ment on Aging during November to solicit comments from individuals and groups regarding the needs of older persons in Illinois. Josephine K. Oblinger, directorof the department, said today that many issues are , confronting older persons and she is hopeful that the meetings will be well attended and that people are vocal. "Some, in­ dividuals feel that government is not responsive to the needs of people," she said. "With the Department on Aging, we in­ tend to prove this to be a myth. If people will take the time to tell us what issues they are concerned with, we will listen and be responsive." Mrs. Oblinger outlined several areas of concern by older persons: Older workers are often fired, refused promotion or not hired because employers blindly prefer younger em­ ployees. Many of the jobless and retired elderly face an economic crisis that is probably worse than any in their previous experience. "This is an issue that is shar­ pening and we hope people will give us their comments," she said. Health care for many older persons is often less than adequate and out of their reach financially. Five percent of the state's elderly population are residents of long-term-care facilities and another 15 per­ cent need some type of medical or custodial cstre. "I am hopeful that we receive com­ ments on the availability and effectiveness of home care services," emphasized Mrs. Oblinger. "On matters of health, tax and poverty, Congress and the state legislature should con­ tinue to pass carefully con­ sidered bills to relieve the burden of age. The political power of senior citizens is growing but is still inadequate. We are inviting legislators to attend the sessions in their districts. Through these and future meetings, I am hopeful we can provide the stage where Illinois' older citizens may pursue group interests vigorously, but with dignity. What we need are helpful laws, not sympathy," Mrs. Oblinger concluded. Speak Out sessions are scheduled as follows: Nov. 3, Thursday, 10 a.m. Truman college, first floor, 1145 Wilson avenue, Chicago, and Nov. 17, Thursday, 2 p.m. Devon Sheridan building, 6400 North Sheridan road, Chicago.

A dairy cow's milking in­ tervals affect the amount of milk she produces and also may cause variation in the milk's composition, explains Leo Fryman, University of Illinois Extension dairy specialist. Unequal milking intervals cause the cow to produce more milk and less fat following the longer interval, says Fryman. For example, if milking hours are 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., the morning milking probably will produce more milk with less fat than the evening milking, Fryman predicts. The opposite will result at the evening milking, with the average fat percentage for the twenty-four hours about the same as if the cow had been milked every twelve hours. Some cows may produce less total milk from the two unequal milking intervals than from two equal intervals, indicates Fryman. Irregular milking patterns causing milking interval variations combined with irregular feeding reduces an average dairy cow's milk production as much as five percent, notes Fryman. "Apparently cows are- creatures of habit," says Fryman, "and anything up­ setting their routine likely will cause them to reduce milk production. Changing a cow's milking and feeding time daily, resulting in an irregular schedule, reduces her milk production more than unequal- but regular-milking in­ tervals." Milking more often-as much as three or four times daily- reduces milking intervals and usually results in greater milk production, says Fryman. Dairymen who milk cows three times a day can expect the herd to produce about 15 percent more milk than when cows are milked twice a day, Tif producers provide additional feed. „ More frequent milkings do not affect a cow's average butterfat percentage, con­ cludes Fryman. Speak Out!!! A series of Speak OUt sessions will be held in Illinois next month to solicit comments from individuals and groups regarding the needs of older persons in Illinois. Comments from the public on em­ p l o y m e n t , r e t i r e m e n t programs, health care, taxes and other matters as they relate to the elderly will be sought by state officials in­ cluding Josephine K. Oblinger, Director of the Illinois Department on Aging which is sponsoring the sessions.
