PAGE 8 - PLAINDEAl.ER - FRIDAY, APRIL. 20.1979 United Way In Budget Hearings CHILD y.,y The United Way of McHenry County is presently preparing for its annual budget and v allocations hearings. o) Each year, in hundreds of American communities, the Spring and Summer seasons find some of the best known and most respected citizens in town, devoting long hours to United Way budgeting. Businessmen thoroughly, familiar with six-figure decisions in their daytime jobs will carefully study the smallest agency and its plans to squeeze a little more service out of every dollar. Professional people, business executives and merchants will show the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon in fit­ ting many needs into the best possible package of services to the community. The devotion and, sincerity with which volunteers ap­ proach the budget and allocations job, testify to the fundamental soundness of federated financing. "This is good citizenship at work," declared Lorrin Woodman, United Way vice- president, "There is no more important channel for citizen participation in health and welfare and no better op­ portunity to demonstrate democracy in federation." Every Spring, represen- _tatiyes of each member agency are asked to prepare its budget estimates including all income and expenses projected for the coming year. They are also requested to appear personally before the allocations com­ mittee and detail their programs and goals for the coming year. After each agency has made its presentation, the full committee meets to make its decisions on the amount to be allocated to each agency. The committee then submits these decisions to the board of directors for approval and a total campaign goal is set. The goal for the 1978-79 campaign, which has just conliraed was set at $315,000. The total collection for the campaign amounted to $157,377.76. "We are not dismayed at this shortfall," Woodman noted, "as the amount collected still represented more than was collected in previous cam­ paigns in Crystal Lake. Now that we are a county-wide United Way, it will take some time for all county residents to become aware of the United Way agency services to the community and decide to participate. Our biggest boost could come from business and industry who would inaugurate a payroll savings program for their plant employees." Budget and allocations hearings will take place later in the month and all member agencies are urged to prepare presentations well in advance of their appointments. State Traffic Toll Unchanged The superintendent of Illinois state police, Lynn E. Baird, has ; announced the latest figures i which indicate that during the i month of March, 114 persons ; died from injuries sustained in traffic accidents on Illinois streets and highways.

Auto Service Tips If you lose fluid from the master cylinder of your car (with power brakes) and can't find the leak, try this. Remove the vacuum hose at the brake booster and insert a screwdriver inside the hose, rotating slowly. If there is fluid on the screwdriver when it is removed, the master cylinder seals are bad and should be replaced. W )M( .( >/VU Wed. thru Sal.

"Foster parents," is the answer of some 25 Chicago area child care agencies. They have joined together in a home finding coalition which is launching a drive for foster homes during April. The drive is part of the national celebration of April as Action for Foster Children month. "We hope people interested in becoming foster parents will call our home finding number, 427-9623," states Mrs. Doris Jean Keller, chairperson for the statewide Illinois Action for Foster Children. "People interested in lear­ ning about foster children and foster parenthood may call this number without obligation. At 427-9623, trained social workers or volunteers will answer questions and put applicants in touch with an agency where their help is needed." In Illinois there is a steady stream of children coming into the care of agencies. There is a constant need for homes where they can live and grow and be a part of a family. The children are both boys and girls, of all racial and religious backgrounds. They range in age from babies through tod­ dlers, school age and high school age youngsters. Some of these children have been removed from their families by the court. Some are the victims of child abuse; others have parents who abandoned them. All have experienced upset in their lives because their own families cannot care for them. They need foster homes for a time, or longer-until they can return to their families, be made legally free for adoption, or can grow up and become independent. Foster parents take a child into their home and make him a part of it. They give their love and care; they are paid for the child's living expenses by the agency responsible for his care. Generally, foster parents should be in good health, of an age appropriate to being parents of a child. They should have room in their home for a child, but living arrangements do not have to be fancy or elaborate. It is helpful if foster parents have experience in rearing children. ARE YOU MOVING?

Freezing with 15 percent is third and hail with 11 percent is fourth in the causes of crop loss during the history of Federal Crop Insurance. According to Davey, in­ creasing crop investments and inflating costs have resulted in growing interest in Federal Crop Insurance. He said he is concerned that all of the county farmers that have indicated an interest in the USDA protection will not be contacted by the limited number of FCIC representatives before the deadlines for new contracts. Farm operators are requested not to wait, but to contact the FCIC office to get information on the proper in­ surance protection for their farm and their expected 1979 investment in crop inputs. For information on the in­ surance programs still available on corn and soybeans in McHenry county, the FCIC district offices are located at Route 23 and Dayton road in Ottawa. The phone number is 433-0514. Free Immunizations Are Offered In County Free immunizations for children in high school and under will be given Wednesday morning, April 25 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. in Room 102 of the New McHenry county courthouse located on Route 47 north of Woodstock. The shots are of­ fered by the McHenry County Board of Health with the en­ dorsement of the McHenry County Medical society. Immunization for the prevention of measles, polio, diphtheria, tetanus and other communicable diseases are offered the last Wednesday of each month. The shots are necessary for a child to be enrolled in school, but the Board of Health recommends that they be administered as soon as medically indicated after birth.

Dixon Secretary of State Last time I listed three I suggestions designed to make I you more aware of motorcycles I on our streets and highways. I Once again, the motorcyclist I has the same right-of-way privileges you do and he is I entitled to the same courtesy and consideration as other drivers. Here are three additional situations you may find yourself in when motorcycles are present: 1.) Motorcycles and their riders sometimes are hard to see because the car driver is used to looking for something larger. Be sure to watch for them in oncoming traffic before you start to make a left turn. 2.) Don't crowd a motorcycle. Allow more following distance than you do for a car. A motorcycle often can stop faster than your car because it is much lighter in weight. Also, getting too close may make the cyclist nervous and cause him to lose balance and fall in front of your car. 3.) Allow even more following distance between your vehicle and any motorcyle when there is ice, snow or rain on the roadway. If you put your brakes on suddenly, your vehicle may slide into the motorcyle. If the slippery surface makes the motorcyclist fall, you may not be able to stop before striking him. (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Alan J. Dixon, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111., 62756) RECIPE By Sarah Anne Sheridan No one food is more ver­ satile than the potato.
