Although many accidents were reported to police during the period, most were minor property damage accidents caused by the bad weather with no injuries being reported The narrow bridge on Rt. 31 just south of Johnsburg road, is partially to blame for a one-car accident Jan 28 An accident at the same bridge Jan 13 claimed two lives, including that of a young McHenry man Denise E Pride. 5155 Westwood, McHenry, told Sheriff's deputies that she was southbound on Rt 31 ap proaching the bridge when oncoming traffic forced her to move to the right 1 The Pride vehicle struck a snowbank and then skidded into the bridge.

Ridgeway road, Ringwood, was northbound on Chapel Hill road when he noticed that snow had •drifted across the southbound lane making it impassable. Robert J. Adler. 2219 N.

As the Adler and Hartges vehicles passed each other in the northbound lane, the left rear of the Hartges auto struck the left front of the Adler car Damage to both vehicles is estimated in excess of $200. Henrietta Gerber, 609 Water's Edge drive, McHenry, and William G. Barth. 3719 Spring Grove road, Johnsburg, were both uninjured following a head-on collision on Chapel Hill road. According to the accident report filed by Sheriff's deputies, Ms. Gerber was southbound and the Barth auto was traveling north, but drifting snow had closed the southbound lane.

BLAZE FORCES FAMILY OF SIX FROM HOME (Continued from page 1) where they had survived the smoke. Mrs. Felde said snow plows had to push drifts from the road just ahead of the fire trucks, which were unable to reach their destination in less than an hour. Just as they arrived, the kitchen window broke, allowing the flames to spread. The family believes greater damage was averted because the house had been completely closed upon their hasty departure and also because of good insulation. The kitchen, where the fire seemed to originate, was completely gutted. There was smoke damage throughout, and in the living room drapes had been melted. Fire Chief Glenn Peterson had no estimate of damage Monday morning, and he could not explain the origin of the fire. Members of Johnsburg Company II and Fox Lake extinguished the blaze The FISH organization is seeking clothing for the family because of the loss of all of the family's attire. They can use size 3 and 10 for boys, sizes 12-14 teen, and women's size 9 for the older girl. FISH can be reached at 385-8020. Firemen from Company I and III responded to a report of a barn fire near Lakemoor early Jan. 30.^ , - ^ v It was discovered that a vacant barn on the Brannock property was burning, but due to the heavy snow, fire fighting equipment could not get close enough to battle the fire. The barn, which was set approximately 1500 feet off of the road, was completely destroyed by the blaze.

I TAX FACTS I The best way to start working on your state income tax return is to complete your • federal return first, say officers of the Illinois Department of Revenue. "Some of the information the Illinois taxpayer needs comes directly from his or her federal return," said Gary V. Ey, manager of the Ttevenue department's income tax processing division. "Line 1 of the state return, for example, asks the state income taxpayer to indicate the amount of federal adjusted gross in­ come." Ey said that some Illinois taxpayers are not required to file a federal return, but he said it's '*a good idea to complete a federal return, even if you don't have to file it, to determine adjusted gross income and exemptions for the state return." Illinois law allows state taxpayers the same number of exemptions permitted on the federal return. Some documents from the federal return are required for taxpayers to verify certain state income tax credits or deductions they claim. The Revenue department provides information and assitance free of charge at district offices in several locations throughout the state. Taxpayers also can call the department toll free at 1-800- 252-8972 The state tax deadline this year is midnight April 17. "Power Of Prayer" Film At Area Church Why should we pray? How should we pray? For what should we pray? What is unanswered prayer? These are questions man has asked since God first spoke to Him. Many church people feel that far too long, prayer has been overlooked as a subject for a definite film study, but, now ECRF Films presents its newest release "The Power of Prayer". The opening moments of the film are spent in Israel, examining thousands of years of Jewish history and how they pertain to prayer. "The Power of Prayer" features some of the most well- r e s p e c t e d , C h r i s t i a n spokesmen in America; such as Dr. W.A. Criswell, Dr. John F. Walvoord, Josh and Dottie McDowell, Chaplain Ray and Dr. and Mrs. Howard Hen­ dricks. These men and women will be sharing what the Bible says as to the how and why of prayer. They'll also share their own personal experiences of the times of victory, frustration and confusion at the Alliance church, 3815 Bull Valley road.

The doctor suspects chronic alcoholism, but the patient ve­ hemently denies drinking. The condition is so severe that there is no time to do lengthy diagnostic work. If it is assumed the cause is gallbladder disease and the doctor operates, there is a life-threatening risk if the pa­ tient is indeed alcoholic. Now, a discovery by a team of researchers may offer an al­ ternative to taking this risk. The researchers have devel­ oped the first specific blood test to detect chronic alcohol­ ism in a matter of a few hours. The discovery was made during National Insti­ tute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism-sponsored experi­ ments on the effects of alcohol on the liver. In the case of a patient with jaundice who denies his or her alcoholism, doctors will be able to use the test to learn if there is positive indication of chronic alcoholism. The discovery of a specific blood test to detect alcoholism has been greeted by medical authorities with great enthusi­ asm. The test involves taking a blood sample from a patient and measuring two amino acids (alpha amino-n-butyric acid and leucine) in the plas­ ma factions of the blood. The values obtained arc found to be more than twice as high in alcoholic subjects as in non­ alcoholic subjects according to the researchers. The studies were conducted on hospital­ ized and ambulatory alcoholic patients and healthy nonalco­ holic volunteers. The researchers found that the test results reflect pro­ longed, rather than short-term, intake of alcohol--i.e., the test detects the chronic drinker. In addition, the test works for more than a week after drink­ ing has ended. Presently, doctors use a var­ iety of other blood tests to measure the extent of damage to the liver and other organs resulting from alcoholism. But none of these tests points to alcoholism as the causative factor in producing the dam­ age. The new test does. Positive results are specifically associ­ ated with heavy and chronic drinking. "But we do not yet know how the abnormality comes about," said the re­ searchers. This is now the focus of their attention. Among the questions they hope to answer is this: Hav­ ing identified heavy drinkers by means of a blood test, can those particularly at risk of developing such severe complications as liver be recognized before damage is irreversible?
