(DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) Adult Day Care Is Offered At Valley Hi Nursing Home A specialized Day Care program for McHenry county residents, 55 years of age and older, particularly for the older, chronically ill or disabled individual who cannot be left alone during the day, is offered by Valley Hi Nursing home. The program features a day full of activities and socialization in a safe com­ fortable environment. It is especially designed as an alternative to full time in­ stitutional care. Under this program the individual returns home each evening thereby maintaining the regular family situation. Rehabilitative programs at the Day Care center include recreational activities, crafts, religious activities, activities for daily living, beauty-barber shop services, community frips, and more. All of the activities are geared to in­ dividual interests. Basic cost of the Day Care includes Continental breakfast, individual nutritionally balanced noon meal, plus Over-Counter Licenses Secretary of State Alan J. Dixon has announced that over- the-counter sales of "B" and "TA" fiscal 1978-79 license plates will start Thursday, June 1, at 229 banks and savings and loan associations throughout the state and ap­ proximately 300 currency exchanges in the Chicago area. Dixon said that June 1 also is the first day new plates may be displayed legally on second division vehicles. Deadline for displaying current fiscal year plates is midnight, June 30. Over-the-counter sales for all classes of fiscal year plates, including the "B" and "TA" plates, will be available for the same period at three Motor Vehicle facilities in Chicago (including bulk purchase), the new walk-in facility in Chicago at 157 N. Wells (for individual purchases only) and at the Centennial building and Dirksen Parkway facility in Springfield. Trucks which qualify for "B" Taxpayers Win One Dissatisfied taxpayers won a small victory when the Illinois House voted to rescind a requirement that $10 ac­ company every tax bill paid under protest. Despite active opposition by bill sponsor State Rep. John Matijevich (D-North Chicago). State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R- McHenry county) succeeded in amending out the $10 requirement. "Cook county taxpayers don't have to pay $10 per tax bill," Skinner revealed during the floor debate on his amend­ ment. "It's unfair for home owners in the rest of the state to be forced to pay $10 for every protested tax bill when Cook county homeowners don't." The lawmaker revealed that the $10 fee for tax protests was passed fairly recently as a way to justify pay increases for circuit clerks in Illinois' 101 downstate counties. Drapes Need Cleaning?

He has two doctor's degrees in dentistry. He received his first degree of Doctor in Odonthology at Caracas university in Venequela, where he moved from Europe as a child. He speaks fluent Spanish. Dr. Botian moved to the United States in 1959 and after com­ pleting two years in the Army he entered the University of Illinois' Dental school. The doctor graduated with the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery and stayed on at the university as a staff member and taught Crown and Bridge for two years. Doctor Borian has not just limited his practice to humans. He also put braces on a squirrel named "Scooter". The animal was taken to Mrs. Sally Joosten, director , of the xMcHnery County Conservation D i s t r i c t ' s W i l d l i f e Rehabilitation center. Scooter had fallen from his nest in a tree at the age of three and one- half weeks and landed on his jaw, which broke and was not realized until his teeth grew in crooked. Since Scooter couldn't grind down his incisors like other rodents (their teeth continue to grow throughout life), Mrs. Joosten had to take Scooter to the Veterinarian clinic once a month, be put to sleep, and have his four front teeth trimmed. Dr. Botian put Scooter's braces on in October, 1977, and now for the first time in his life, Scooter is cracking nuts and will probably be released to the wilds sometime this summer. Doctor Botian also has an office in DesPlaines at the Fahey Medical center. He resides in Woodstock with his wife and three children. Doctor Botian practices all general dentistry.

NEWS i ^The need for veterans to tell their families where important veterans' documents are kept cannot be over emphasized, Veterans Administration of­ ficials have declared. Safeguarding discharge papers, marriage certificates or child custody evidence from fire, theft or loss could be one of the most important legacies a veteran can leave his sur­ vivors, VA officials have found. Among documents that should be protected and filed with family papers are government and commerical life insurance policies, any VA correspon­ dence with identifying claim numbers, social security numbers, wills and, where applicable, naturalization papers. Families should also be aware of possible survivor benefits. These include VA pensions, dependency and indemnity compensation for service-connected death, burial benefits and interment in a national cemetery. A few minutes spent by the veteran organizing documents and informing his family can do much to avoid anguish during times of emotional stress, VA has found. Veterans should alert their families that information and assistance concerning benefits are available at the nearest VA regional office. Assistance is also available through veterans service organizations. For most people, the credit card is really a plastic overdraft.
