STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Lice Occurrences Growing An increasing number of cases of head lice, body lice and scabies are being reported to the McHenry County Depart­ ment of Health. The condition caused by these insects is more of a nuisance than a health problem, it is neither a disease nor a hygienic problem - the only way a person can get lice is to come in close contact With another person who has them. The cleariliness of the hair will not preVent a person from getting hekd lice if that person comes into\ close contact with someone wnqjhas them. The Illinois Department of Public Health recommends the following guidelines for the detection and treatment of lice infestations; Lice are hard to see, but they can be detected by the presence of nits, small white or silver looking egg cases attached to hair shafts or the seams of clothing with a sticky material. Areas around the ears and nape of the neck should be checked carefully. If lice are found on a child, all family members should un­ dergo treatment for the in­ festation, whether or not nits are found on an individual. Hair should be washed in water as hot as tolerable with one of several lice treating shampoos, which can be pur­ chased over the counter or by prescription. Affir cleaning, hair should be combed with a fine tooth comb. The comb should then be washed. The entire process should be repeated in 10 days. At the same time, all clothing and bedding used within two weeks of the treatment should be washed in hot water and detergent. The house should be thoroughly vacuumed daily, paying particular attention to mattresses, pillows, stuffed furniture, removable cushions and carpeting, until all cases of head lice have been eliminated. The sharing of combs, brushes, hats, wigs, etc., should be discouraged to avoid spreading the lice. Tax Reform Before Governor Legislation that will bring about property tax reform has been approved by the General Assembly and sent to the governor, said Senator Jack Schaffer of Cary, Senate sponsor of the bill. House Bill 229 is designed to make it much easier and far less costly for persons who want to protest their real property tax bills. "Years ago," said Sen. Schaffer, "the legislature passed a bill that requires a $10 filing fee per tax district when protesting their tax bill. The problem is that so many of us live in so many different taxing districts." p. Sen. Schaffer pointed out that he lives in 17 different taxing districts so that if he wanted to file a protest, he would have to pay a filing fee of $170. ? "That was not the intent of the General Assembly," said Sen.. Schaffer, "so Rep. Cal Skinner and I were successful in getting a bill approved that will provide for a single $10 filing fee." HB 229 also provides that when an individual does pay his real property taxes under protest, he can pay each in­ stallment as it becomes due, rather thsin paying all of the tax in advance under protest. . "This is good tax reform legislation," said Sen. Schaffer. "Since the Democrat- controlled legislature refused to approve any bills that would limit government spending, our RESOLUTION Whereas, American Legion Auxiliary Post 491 has been an outstanding force in the McHenry area for leadership, service and civic participation in community affairs, and Whereas, American Legion Auxiliary Post 491 continues to generously uphold its record of community service by donating three American flags to the City of McHenry for display at the McHenry Municipal Building, at Petersen Park, and at Pearl Street Park. Now, Therefore, be it resolved, that the Mayor City Council of the City of McHenry, extends its sincere appreciation to American Legion Auxiliary Post 491 on behalf of all the citizens of McHenry for their generous contribution. u Motion by Adams, seconded by Wi^ser, that the above resolution be adopted and that a copy be made a permanent part of the records of the City of McHenry and a copy be presented to American Legion Auxiliary Post 491. Joseph B. Stanek Mayor bill will at least save large filing fees for taxpayers who wish to pay their real property taxes under protest." Find a need and fill it!" That was the slogan of the late Henry J. Kaiser, and over the course of a long career he found a lot of needs and filled them, building a large industrial empire in the process. V!The slogan might also apply to U.S. world trade. There is a deed to revive the "Yankee Trader" spirit and push U.S. exports in order to counteract our long-running trade im­ balance. -Showcase U.S.A., a new magazine (heading for its fourth issue), seems to be living by that slogan as it tells the story of American exports. Most, of its readers are over­ seas and the response to the first three issues has been so good that it is stepping up its publishing scheduling from four to six issues a year. q Publisher George St. John and his editor (pardon a little fatherly pride), Maureen Reagan, have set out in Showcase U.S.A. to provide an information clearinghouse between U.S. manufacturers and services and potential overseas buyers and marketers. * The magazine actively en- cou^agfis small American sinessesN. to "go in­ ternational" and it provides stories on how to do it. It also profiles successT stories of a variety of U.S. firms which have gone exporting. In the current issue, a special section details the U.S. semiconductor and electronic components industry. And a regular feature called "Trade Inquiries" covers a dazzling variety of U.S. products currently avail >le for export. The list doesn't quite go from A to Z, but it does cover everything from apricots to wine (and, along the way, such things as earthworms and frozen bull semen for starting your own herd in a distant land). The publisher encloses a reply envelope and question­ naire for overseas readers to use in listing products or ser­ vices about which they want more detailed information. The magazine acts as a go-between. Another feature lists upcoming trade shows both here and overseas. The style of Showcase U.S.A. is upbeat, even exuberant. Reading such articles as "Go International, Young Man, go International" and "Small Business, the Available \ Resource" makes you feel good to be an American and it reminds you that there is a better way to work at our trade imbalance than to adopt protectionism as a way of life. Protectionism is costly to American consumers and almost always invites retaliation. •* 0 While Showcase U.S.A. spreads the word about America to a large overseas audience, word-spreaders of a here at home. It seems that tucked away in a congressional bill to overhaul g o v e r n m e n t p r i n t i n g operations there is a clause requiring that every ffederally- owned photocopying machine be modified so that it will automatically print on each conv the legend. "Produced at Backers of the measure say it will save us taxpayers millions of dollars a year in personal job - resumes, recipes and party invitations that won't be copied on government Xeroxes anymore. In fact, they are calling their provision "Proposition 13-and-a-half." New Book For Blind A new self-help manual on Latch Hook Rug'Making is now available from the Guild for the Blind in Chicago.

YMCA Holds Day Camp Youngsters don't have to leave home this summer in order to enjoy the fun and excitement of camp. So says Phillip Baaske, program executive of the Lake Region YMCA, in announcing the start of the Y's summer day camp programs July 30 and Aug. 13. The camp will be open to boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 15, he said. The site for the camp is the Lake Region YMCA, located at 7315 S. Route 31, Crystal Lake. Most of the camp's activities such as swimming, tennis, cookouts and sport activities, will take place there. "Campers won't spend all their time at the Y though", Baaske said. "There will be excursions to Cubs Park, Museum of Science and In­ dustry and two other places." For information on fees and registration, Baaske suggested calling the Y at 815-459-4455 or dropping by at the Y at 7315 South Route 31, Crystal Lake. Pr. Jerome J.
