The United Way of McHenry County is fundamentally an expansion of the way families and neighbors all over America resolved emergency and social problems in the early, growing days of this country Then, organized agencies did not exist When a need, or emergency did arise an ac cident. a fire, serious il lness, gathering a farm crop, building a barn or a house when haste was necessary, the neighbors responded, usually without being asked Neighbors simply recognized the need and voluntarily pit ched in. each applying his or her talent, or specialty. It was comforting to know that neigh t)ors cared for each other Now the county is com­ plicated Population expansion, migrations and in­ dustrialization have produced many centers of heavy con eventration Needs tor medical services, nursing, spiritual repair, l ife saving efforts, not only have multiplied, hut require virtually precision skills, organization and con­ siderable money Our way of l ife is suchi that, qualified and recognized local agencies, well versed in ren dering specific services quickly and without red tape are vital to an orderly daily routine Emergencies are • more frequent, more urgent The eighteen agencies of the McHenry County I 'nited Way serve this purpose in all areas, in a highly efficient and ex^ tremely low cost manner It is the old fashioned neighborhood principle under a different management, but with the same heart and concern It has been properly stated that a city without an active I Hited Way is on its way down The truth in this statement is self evident because any community that tails to join in support of those whose fortunes do not favor them kindly, is not a healthy place Public Will Give Views On Soil-Water Guidleines PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. DECEMBER 29,1978 The public wants more say in the development of state and federal programs and they're getting it . says Wilbur Bowman, president of the Illinois Association of Soil and Water Conservation districts. Bowman says public par­ ticipation is more common now and that the new amendment to the Soil and Water Con­ servation district law is one of the first pieces of legislation to^t make it an integral part of the planning process The 1977 amendment directs the Ill inois Department of Agriculture to develop guidelines for comprehensive soil erosion and sedimentation control program for Ill inois land. The department will hold public hearings on the proposed guidelines in January. 1979. Once the guidelines have been set. each soil and water con­ servation district will have two years to develop erosion control standards following the department 's guidelines Local districts will have advisory committees to help develop the standards. Bowman says the committees will be made up of people with different backgrounds, but with the same concern for land and water conservation These standards will also be discussed at local public hearings Public participation at these hearings is important. Bowman says, because it in­ sures technically feasible and economically reasonable standards He also adds that it gives the standards "more bite, because someone can say look what your neighbor is doing Mo cut soil losses)-you can do it too." Settlement Against Clothing Firm Requires Free Credit III nois Attorney General William .1 Scott has announced that as part of the settlement of his case charging National Credit Clothing Company with improper credit practices and misleading advertising. National will be required to extend free credit to all customers through June 30. 1979 Attorney General Scott said his suit against National, which does business in the Chicago area as National Clothing Fashions and National Clothing company, at 3138 N Lincoln avenue. 26 W Randolph street, and 6348 S Halsted street, stems from National 's practice of advertising that consumers could purchase merchandise and pay no interest and no carrying charges for six months. Actually. Scott said, interest charges were arbitrarily added to some accounts before the six month term had expired, and the amount of interest charged Ixire no relation to the out standing balance Scott said the settlement, approved today by Cook County Circuit Court Judge George Schaller, prohibits National from charging interest, service or carrying charges on customer accounts through June 30. 1979 After that date, no interest charge may be made unelss in accordance with applicable laws con­ cerning rates of interest and proper disclosure to customers In addition. National is to refund all erroneous interest charges to i ts customers National voluntarily stopped its interest charges after Scott 's suit was filed in August. 1977. and is in the process of making restitution to over-charged customers Finally, according to the settlement. National is to pay $20,(KM) to the State of Il l inois for the cost of the investigation and prosecution of the case. Jeffrey S Herden. Chief of Litigation in Scott 's Consumer Fraud Division, said that this ease is especially important because it involves- two of the most serious business prac­ tices-misleading advertising and improper credit disclosures «> o •«> •<> <> o <> •<> •<> «> o «> •o <> •«> <> <> •<> o •<> •«> •<> <> •<> •o o •<> <> <> » o <> <> <> <> «> o .«> •<> o •<> -.2 •4* •<> o •<> <> CD v/ The Good Word from the Bible • •, a weekly inspirational (jf message for today's l ife styles A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment for if thou deliver-him. yet thoumustdait again Proverbs 19:19 Many of us know someone who talks too much, who speaks before thinking, who is easily angered, yet seldom sorry for thoughtless ac­ tions. Again and again, we seem to be forgiving this individual for something he or she has done -- and we excuse it by saying "That's the way he (or she) is; nothing can be done about it." Perhaps we are too easy and do not do our friends a favor when we continue to overlook transgressions, time after time. We should, at least, speak out for what is right and what is wrong, without merely accepting the idea that a change for the better is impossible And, as well, we should evaluate our relationships with those about us, so that we are not the kind of a friend someone makes excuses for in some wav. • <>• o- o o- <>• <> <>• <•- o o- o- *» <> o o <>• o <• o- o « <> <o o- « o- <>- <• <> *»• *»• <>• o- o- <>• <»• <>• o- o- «c»- <>• <>- <> <>- <> o- <> <> <> <> • Deaths FLORENCE LUND Mrs. Florence Lund, 70, 1412 Eustace Drive, Dixon, died Wednesday evening, Dec 27, in Dixon Public Hospital, after a long illness.
