'"The public needs to know that in many cases retardation is preventable. We feel it is our responsibility as a dedicated agency to make the public aware of steps citizens can take in their everyday lives to lessen the possibilities of develop­ mental disabilities," he explained. » Some of the causes which will be discussed in appearances before civic groups and at school or service organization functions are genetic disorders, Rh blood disease, hypothyroidism, inadequate care during pregnancy In­ cluding poor nutrition, malnutrition in the early years of a child's life and en­ vironmental, hazards such as lead poisoning. Miss Winters, a graduate of Cary-Grove high school and Illinois State university, taught primary grades for four years, For the past year she worked as a production supervisor at a sheltered workshop for Pioneer Center. Miss Winters, received her Bachelor of Science degree at Illinois State university, Normal, in 1974 and is presently working to earn her Master's degree with evening and weekend classes at Northern Illinois university, DeKalb. She is seeking her Master's degree in community mental health. She is also serving as a volunteer for the Parental Assistance Stres;s line in McHenry county. A native of Aurora, she enjoys sports during her recreational moments, including tennis, racquetball, bicycling and skiing. Lambourn said the decision to assign a staff member to concentrate on prevention and education is a followup to the association's dedication in assisting the deyelopmentally disabled with skilled professionals, workshops, therapy and counseling. "Now is the time for the public to become more involved in the work of this organization," he urged, "by learning how many causes of retardation can be prevented before they occur, simply through knowledge. We believe that the care of develop- mentally disabled is not enough," concluded Lambourn. "We must look to implement the ways to prevent future incidence of developmental disabilities among people of all ages." The Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County is assisting the prevention program with funding, Lam­ bourn said. Pals Assist In Recycling Parents at Landmark School (PALS) will be working along with the McHenry County Defenders at McHenry's third- Saturday-of-every-month recycling drive which. will be held this Saturday at the McHenry market Place parking lot from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parents, plus some faculty and staff from Land­ mark school, will be on hand to help unload cars and see that materials are moved along toward being used again rather than just thrown away.

They are asked to bring gloves and a pocket knife. Those able to assist are asked to call 385-8527 or 385-4820. More and more McHenry citizens are getting involved in saving paper, magazines, cardboard, aluminum, steel, glass and oil for recycling. Following is a list of guidelines thay may be helpful to old and new recyclers alike: Oil-Used motor oil should be in plastic jugs with a secure lid. The Illinois Department of Energy estimates that close to 16 million gallons of oil are purchased in this state by the do-it-yourself oil changers. Most of that oil ends up on the land either when it is put out for the trash man and disposed of in landfill, or when it is im­ properly disposed of by the oil changer himself. Oil does not wear out, it just gets dirty. Used motor oil brought to the McHenry drive is shipped to the Motor Oils Refining Company in McCook, Illinois, where it is re-refined. Approximately 65 percent of each gallon can be reclaimed. Cardboard and magazines- Both are accepted for recycling. However, they should be bundled separately from the newspaper since they are sold to different outlets. Glass-Bottles and jars need to be clean and have all metal and plastic removed. This includes the plastic "jackets" that are on some soft drink bottles and the metal rims that remain on the neck of many wine bottles once the lid is removed. Paper labels do not need to be removed from glass bottles and jars. Cans- All-steel cans should be rinsed out, have labels removed, and be flattened to conserve space. Please keep all-aluminum and all-steel cans separate since they are sold to, separate outlets. Aluminum-Only some beverage cans are all- aluminum. These are marked "all aluminum" or "recyclable aluminum" on the side, and the sides and bottom of the can will not stick to a magnet. Many beverage cans with steel sides are now made without a seam at the bottom, giving the ap­ pearance of an all-aluminum can. If cans are bimetal, they should not be brought to the drive, but be disposed of through regular trash disposal channels. A much more en­ vironmentally sound practice would be to purchase beverages in returnable con­ tainers. Anyone having questions about preparation of materials, or with a large quantity of material to be picked up, please call the McHenry County Defenders reepresentative at 385-8512 Friday evening. • * * More U.S. children are spoiled, and handicapped, by a lack of discipline than by discipline.
