Homes built with concrete block and brick or concrete block alone require less insulation than frame- construction homes. Because bricks and blocks are massive materials they absorb and store heat from both the sun outside and the heating system inside. When the thermostat is turned down at night, the heat stored in these walls begins to flow back into the house, thus slowing down the cool­ ing process and conserving energy. Because it takes the heat of the sun several hours to pene­ trate heavy masonry walls, brick and block construction also provides real energy savings in the warm months, too. Houses with masonry walls usually require smaller heat­ ing and cooling systems, and these systems function more efficiently. It is the repeti­ tious on-and-off, off-and-on response to temperature changes that causes in­ efficiency in heating and cooling systems. Because heat stored in brick and concrete block walls radiates back into the house continually, heat­ ing and cooling systems can remain on--or off--for longer periods. Headaches People have tried every­ thing from heating pads to ice- bags, and yet aspirin sales in­ crease every year. Now a re­ search team working under a National Institute of Mental Health grant is trying to find out if the best headache rem­ edy may be simply mind-over- matter. Muscle-contraction or ten­ sion headaches are regarded as stress-related disorders. They occur when people are alarmed by the dangers (real or imagined) in a particular situation and fall into a state of panic. Their panic makes it hard for them to cope with that situation, and this pro­ duces high levels of stress and strain which lead to a head­ ache. An Ohio University study is showing how these sufferers can eliminate headaches and tension by using a simple self- treatment method in which patients literally talk them­ selves out of stress feelings and into a more relaxed atti­ tude. To begin with, patients are taught to blame their head­ aches on their own thinking errors and not on their cir­ cumstances. They learn to monitor their headaches by noting what they think and feel before each headache ognize the signs of impending ognize the signs of impending anxiety and ward it off with "self-instructional strategies" that promote self-confidence and a positive outlook. Some strategies are posed as self-exploring questions (Why is this situation so up­ setting to me?). Some involve coping orders (Calm down, think clearly). And others employ fortifying images (Imagine myself carefree and comfortable lying on a beach). In addition, the research staff furnishes different ex­ amples of how people can create their own stress feel­ ings by worrying needlessly, and patients are encouraged to add examples from their own experience. This shows them how to recognize and avoid unreasonable expecta­ tions (I must be perfect and loved by everyone) which so often cause'tension headaches. The head of the Ohio re­ search ' team believes that "headaches turn out to be fairly predictable. If people take the time to figure out what is bringing on their headaches, they can monitor their tension and learn to stop the pain before it starts." Coming or going?

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Twenty-two persons were given special honors last week by the board of Elementary School District 15 in ap­ preciation for volunteer service to the various schools. Board President M. David Cain opened the meeting by pointing out the necessity for cooperation between teachers, students, parents and senior citizens if there is to be a really successful school system. D r . R i c h a r d F a r m e r , superintendent, spoke in the same manner before making the presentations to the following: Landmark School - Jan Karls, Sandy Gelwicks, Connie Bunting, Virginia Lazar, Lee Landin, Pam Brackman, Ann Schweder and Shiela Aleckson; Edgebrook School ~ Jim Biggerstaff; Valley View School Jacqueline Creutz, Eileen Zurblis, and Delores Hertel; Parkland School ~ Florence Newbrough, Katie Jiran, Lee Ann Miller and Peggy Thomas; McHenry Junior high: Patricia Gattone, Sherry Wedell and Rosemary Schneider; Zion Lutheran Church - Elmer Hageman for the board of trustees, Marie Bremer, secretary, and Dick Refinger, custodian. The latter awards were made for use of the church for kindergarten testing, registration and pre­ school screening. Fred Kusch of the ad­ ministrative staff initiated the* discussion for the instructional portion of the meeting, ex­ plaining that twelve programs were studied before deciding on the Houghton-Miffling Co. approach to a new basal reading program. Ms. Cathy Berlinger, district reading coordinator, an­ nounced a meeting of the reading course teachers from June 19-23, and then introduced Ms. Kathy Lawrence. Mrs. Lawrence is reading consultant with the Houghton-Mifflin firm. The slide presentation she made was accompanied by a discussion of the hand book method which Ms. Lawrence described as "different than most others". "We have books for the child, not for the class", she ex­ plained as she showed the board how the program helps children to progress. The method, she said, teaches children to use letter-sound associations together with context clues, giving them the tools they need to begin reading on their own. In response to a question from someone in the audience regarding spelling, Ms. Lawrence said the students usually begin to look up words in third grade. The reading consultant spoke with enthusiasm of a pilot program she directed in a Chicago school system in which there was dramatic im­ provement among the pupils. In the brief business session, Buss Ford Sales of McHenry was approved to supply the seven 1979 bus chassis at a total cost, including freight, of $61,425. RTA Legislation To House RECIPE Senators George E. Sangmeister, D-Joliet, Jack Schaffer, R-McHenry county, and Robert W. Mitchler, R-Oswego, express great satisfaction over the passage of the first RTA reform Mils to successfully clear the Illinois Senate. A bill sponsored by the trio would provide for a differential gas tax which would allow the RTA board to set the gas tax at 5 percent for Chicago and a lesser amount for the outer counties. Other legislation passed would provide the auditor of the RTA gas revenue to assure that it was being spent locally. The bills have advanced to the Illinois House. Senator Jack Schaffer, R-33, Friday hailed passage of legislation that would enable the Regional Transportation Authority board of directors to levy differing gas tax rates in the various counties in the district. The bill passed with the support of a coalition of virtually all the Republican senators, Independent down- state Democrats, and the Chicago Blacks. "After four long years we have won the first battle in an effort to gain some equality for the suburban counties in the RTA area," Schaffer declared. On Thursday, the Senate by a vote of 40-11 passed a bill sponsored by Schaffer paving the way for the so-called "gas tax differential."

OF MINNESOTA The measure provides that the RTA board can set the rate of taxation at different levels in each of the counties to reflect benefits being derived from the regional transit service. This means that the board could impose a 5 percent tax for Chicago and a 1 percent tax or less for McHenry and Kane counties reflecting the level of mass transit service provided to the people in each area. "This is a moderate ap­ proach to a perplexing problem that has created enormous animosity, dividing the suburbs and collar counties from Chicago," Schaffer argued on the floor of the Senate. "This bill does no damage to the RTA, but it could result in some justice for those of us who live outside the city of Chicago." A companion measure sponsored by Schaffer would require the Department of Revenue to record the collection of the gas tax county by county. "When the RTA was formed there were promises that each county would benefit directly according to the amount of tax collected in the county," Schaffer continued. "To date the RTA has no idea how much money it is collecting and spending in each county. This bill would provide a handle for us to determine collections in the various counties." A third measure sponsored by Sen. Robert Mitchler, R-39, empowering the state auditor general to audit the collection and disposition of the 5 percent RTA gasoline tax, has passed. "This was an entirely ap­ propriate week for the legislature to act on the RTA," Schaffer said.
