McHenry Emergency Service | Comping Experience 1 • Offered By State Lions McHenry Area Rescue Squad A little late with the June report; however, the squad answered seventy-two calls for the month, resulting in 478 member responses. Again, we stress the need for the good people of the area to please yield the right-of-way when they see a private vehicle with a flashing blue light approaching. We all need your help in the crucial matter of getting to the squad quarters so that we can get the rescue vehicles on the road when an emergency call comes in. We have a very few people in town who deliberately hold up meftibers when they are answering a call, they certainly have nothing to be proud of. McHenry Area Rescue Squad report for June 1978: Vehicle Accidents 17 Cardiac 12 Medical Emergencies * H Fractures 7 Strokes 4 Seizures 3 Back injuries 3 Overdoses h 3 Request to disregard call 3 Refused treatment 3 Dead on arrival 2 Miscellaneous 2 Trouble breathing 1 Head Injuries . ~ 1 Of these calls, six qualified as Mobile Intensive Care unit calls, meaning that intravenous injections, drugs, electrocardiograms, etc., were employed on the call by certified paramedics. One of the most frustrating things that can happen to a crew of an emergency vehicle is to answer a call and not be able to find the house because there are no house numbers and-or no street signs. If you are under the impression your house will be easy to find because your neighbor has house numbers, better take another look, he may be thinking the same thing! We know the safety of your family is of paramount importance to you, so please, put your house numbers on the house in large numbers of a contrasting color to the rest of the house, and, if possible, in a lighted place If you can't see the numbers from the road yourself, then the emergency vehicle crews probably can't either. Check the street signs in your area, if they are defaced or missing, report in immediately to your township, subdivision, city, etc. The time wasted driving past an unmarked street just might be time that a cardiac victim cannot spare. Do it now, don't delay, it's a very small cost to assure you of emergency services finding you when you need them. Again, a reminder that the rescue squad can handle emergency calls only, if you just need transportation, please call a private ambulance service that is set up to provide exactly this type of service. Calling us first will only result in a delay. First Aid and Training Notes Watch this space for listing of first aid classes, CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) classes and first aid tips. There are now openings for new members on the Rescue squad.

The course, which is an humanities elective under the English department, will in­ clude study of recent science fiction novels and short science fiction films and a full length movie "Zardoz". "Science fiction has been scorned in the past as the literature of the Bug-Eyed Monster', but due to in­ creasingly sophisticated readers and serious literary talents being drawn into the field, science fiction has finally been getting the attention it deserves." said Keith Severns, the course instructor Severns, who has been a science fiction enthusiast for many years, said the course will offer interesting study for the novice and the science fiction buff alike. The three-credit hour course meets from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday evenings in room 263. Registration for all fall courses is now in progress. Fall courses begin the week of Aug. 28 Working Facts * -- An estimated 3.9 million American workers, representing 4.5 per cent of all employed per­ sons in this country, held two or more jobs at the same time in a survey taken recently.

Camp Lions "Raven­ swood" is located in Lake Villa, on beautiful Hastings lake. So many children needed and wanted a camping experience that another camping program, Camp Lions "Little Giant", was offered in southern Illinois near Carbondale on Little Grassy lake. It is being operated as a pilot program. Since both camping programs are Lion supported, it was necessary to add the "Ravenswood" tag to the original camp. The camping programs are sponsored by the Lions of Illinois Foundation, 1515 N. Harlem Ave., Oak Park. Children attend the camp free. Costs are borne by the Illinois Lions. Approximately 300 children will have attended by the time the 1978 camping season ends. Children attending Camp Lions "Ravenswood" come from Illinois, north of U.S. Hwy. 136. Children south of that highway apply to "Little Giant". Children at both camps are from 8 to 16 years old. Visually handicapped children range from those with total blindness to those whose sight is 20-200 in both eyes after correction. Hearing impaired children qualify by being enrolled in special education programs for the hard of hearing. These children must be able to communicate by finger spelling, lip reading, or sign language. "Camping is an experience taken for granted by many non- handicapped children," said Lion William Howell, chairrtian Camp Coordinating committee. "To the visually handicapped or hearing impaired, camp fosters independence, creativity, socialization, learning, and just plain fun." Separate programs are provided for blind children and deaf children, but the two groups are together for meals, talent shows, and other com­ mon functions Social Security I Buyer Beware Illinois Attorney General William J.
