PLEA FOR HELP Sunnyside park director, Lillian Pomonis, is in need of help. Last year great stridH!^ were taken to get the park fixed and equipment installed. The children of the area have a place to play and there are benches and picnic tables so Mom can sit and watch the kids, and even bring lunch along. Additional equipment was ordered and arrived late in the season. And there is a slide and merry-go-round to be installed. How about giving a hand and getting this equipment in so the kids can enjoy it. One little lady can't do it all alone. Give Lill a call and volunteer your help in getting these pieces of equip­ ment ready for the summer. Her number is 385-7012.

FLORIDA TRIP Joann Britt of Riverdale drive in Pistakee Terrace, past president of the Pistakee T e r r a c e h o m e o w n e r s a s s o c i a t i o n , i s l e a v i n g f o r Florida on a business trip. Mrs. Britt is leaving on Monday, April 30, for the Bradenton, Sarasota, Fla., area. She will be searching for appropriate sites for industrial property for Century Industries. Their in­ terest is property for tool and die and machine shops. Mrs. Britt, who intends to run for president of Pistakee Terrace again in May, says "Even though the association wanted to close the park at the beach, young people whose parents pay the taxes come to the park. The fishing is great. They are catching walleyes, channel cats, perch and carp." "The huge iceflow that did so much damage when it broke loose from Pistakee Lake several weeks ago almost destroyed the pier at the beach. The pier was donated to the park by a contributor to the Terrace. The young people of the Terrace plan to repair the pier without the help of the association. Two years ago no one knew the park existed. "For information call Joann Britt, 233-2966. The kids are also using the basketball court. They have $33 in their park fund and will decide how it is to be used."

Wednesday, May 2, at 3 Chalet drive located at the intersection of Rtes. 31 and 14. The purpose of this series is to help people find answers to questions which arise as they become aware of their potentials and seek to apply those potentials to everyday practical ways, explained Rev. Alec Evason, minister at Unity. The series will be of par­ ticular interest to those who want to know more about their potentials and more about the Bible without being limited to any one particular theology.

Other classes being offered by Unity are the World of Meditation on Thursdays, mornings and evenings, Creative Figure- Physique Control on Sunday mornings and Spiritual Assertiveness Training for young people. Set Spring Nature Hike Governor To Visit Japan Governor James R. Thomp­ son and other state, labor and business leaders will visit Japan next month to encourage Japanese firms to build new plants in Illinois, the Gover­ nor's office announced recently. Thompson said, "New business means new jobs. New jobs means a more prosperous economy. And a more prosperous economy means a better place for every resident of Illinois to live and work." The Governor's office said because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations, details and information regarding the firms involved cannot be released at this time. Wildflowers and birds will be featured on the McHenry County Conservation district's public nature walk to be held May 5 at 10 a.m., at the Harrison-Benwell Conservation site near Wonder Lake. The d i s t r i c t ' s i n t e r p r e t i v e naturalist and trail guides will lead the walk on a short trail where beautify wildflowers grow and birds such as war­ blers and thrushes sing in a quiet woodland setting. The walk will be ap­ proximately 14 hours long, and anyone interested is invited to come. In case of rain, hikers should dress appropriately. Participants are invited to bring a lunch and enjoy the picnic area overlooking a tiny stream meandering nearby. This is the second of a series of spring nature walks con­ ducted by the McHenry County Conservation district. For information regarding other scheduled events, contact the Conservation district at. 338- 1405 or 678-4431. Nurse Aide Training Lt. Gov. Dave O'Neal last week voiced his support of legislation co-sponsored by Rep. Phillip Bianco, R- Chicago, and Rep. Josephine Oblinger, R-Springfield, which would create a nurse aide training program in Illinois. Under the bills, newly em­ ployed nurse aides would be required to complete an ap­ proved training program not more than six months from date of employment. O'Neal and the bill's sponsors feel the legislation would bring professional recognition to nurse aides, thus increasing job satisfaction and reducing the h i g h t u r n o v e r r a t e t h a t currently exists in the oc­ cupation. O'Neal said the Nurse Aide Training Act would significantly increase the quality of health care.

'What?' You moy have a hearing problem without even knowing it. Here's how you can tell. Hearing loss can be painless and gradual. By the time it happens, it may already have had an ad­ verse effect on your life. Hearing loss can be solating. In children it can present special problems in learning. In the elderly it often confused with senility. How can you find out if you have a hearing loss? Here are 10 questions you can answer for yourself: 1.Do you find yourself say­ ing "What?" frequently? 2.Do people complain that you turn up the TV too loud? 3.When talking on the phone, do you hear better with one ear than the other? 4.Do loud sounds seem to bother you more than they do others? 5.Do you keep missing the punchline of jokes? Or confuse the number 50 for 60? 6.Do you have trouble understanding someone speaking from another room? 7.Do people complain that you talk too loud? 8.Do people accuse you of not paying attention? 9.Have you experienced ringing in your ears? 10.Do you feel tired or tense trying to follow group conversations? If your answer to these questions is "Yes", even to some of them, you may be suffering from a loss of hearing. Fortunately, hearing loss is treatable in many ways. Do something about it. See your physi­ cian or hearing health care professional. HEARING TESTS WED.'s ONLY 1 TO 5 McHENRY HEARING AID CENTER 3937 MAIN, McHENRY, ILL.
