Pick County Junior Miss Oct. 6 The 1979-80 Junior Miss competition will be held Oct. 6, at the Crystal Lake Central high school with many high school senior girls taking part. The county winner will advance to the state Junior Miss finals. Some of the judges who will select McHenry county's new "Junior Miss", the county's outstanding high school senior girl of the class of 1980, Louise Reed, a resident of Crystal Lake, an active member of numerous civic organizations; Raymond Clemens, Marengo resident and mayor from 1973 to 1977; Carole Thomas, a resident of Woodstock, and member of SEDOM Board; and 1 r . n Dr. James O'Laughlin, resident of Crystal Lake, and chairman ef-the board of Kishwaukee division of Illinois Association of School Boards. Judging standards here are the same as in all other local competitions, at the state level and at the America's Junior Miss national finals in Mobile, Ala. There are five major categories: Mental Alertness and Judges Conference: 35 percent. This is based on a 10 minuted in­ terview of each contestant by the judges. Here the judges look for a sense of values, clarity of expression, per- ception, and ability in human relations. Poise and Appearance: 14 percent. This is based on the appearance of the contestant in evening gown. Poise, grace, grooming, good taste, carriage and posture are considered.. Youth Fitness: 15 percent. The basis fqr this is apparent, physical well being, correct posture, carriage and grace in sportswear. Creative and Performing Arts: 20 percent. This is decided by talent presentation by each contestant with con­ sideration to originality, technical ability, ap­ propriateness of selection and costume, performance and presentation. Scholastic Achievement: 15 percent. Judges base this on a careful review of high school transcripts of grades and college board examinations. This category is determined by a separate panel of qualified educators. Winner of the McHenry county Junior Miss title will participate in the competition for the state honors and the opportunity to travel to Mobile, Ala., in May to take part in the 22nd America's Junior Miss finals. Sez . It's amazin' how fast th' seasons pass, an' here it is, near harvest time, again. Many folk ha' found an outlet f'r physical energy in a workin' their own gardens, An' e'en those who live in apartments, grow vegetables in pots, on balconies, an' small porches, a tryin' t' beat th' high cost o' livin'. It's a blessin't' have a little plot o' land, an' e'en though th' job gets harder wi' th' passin' years, • th' satisfaction o' havin' a few things from th' garden makes it worth while. Ye jist can't buy a cucumber that tastes like one right from th' vine. T' me gratification, t' other day, lo 'n b'hold, they were a tellin' folks t' git bak t' th' old ways o' cooking' an' a bakin', an' find out how much c'u be saved on th' food budget, these days. Little by little, o'er a number o' years, folks ha' been inveigled into dependin' on ready-made foods. Seems they f'rgot all about th' cost o' preparin' 'em, an' proceed t' inflate th' food budgets wi' all th' fancy, inferior products. Sure, they added some vitamins, but ye can't tell this ol' granny that it's as good as th' food from a kitchen, where "Mom" reigns as chief chef, an' produces nourishin' meals, wi' care about how th' family is fed. Seems t' this granny, th' world'd be a better place f'r th' young t' grow up in, if mothers 'd be home more, 'n teach th' young how t' do wi' less o' th' things they expect t' have pervided, these days. Land o' Goshen! T' other day a youngun told me she drank at least four bottles o' soda:pop, every day. I asked where th' money came from, an' she said her allowance paid f'r it. T' this ol' lady, seems purty ridiculous that a parent 'd pervide th' where-wi-all f'r somethin' like that, an' it may be th' ruination o' health f'r th' child. If th' mother wasn't a workin' at a job, outside th' home, th' extras wouldn't come so easy t' th' offspring, one good reason that so many young folks resent any kind of' job that requires a bit o' real sweat. Parents who teach th' off­ spring t' find pleasure in hard work reap pleasure in return, in turnin,' out progeny t' com­ plement th' human race. That takes dedicated effort on th' part o' those who care. Grandma Radtke Michael and Elizabeth Jones, 8207 Gerson, Wonder Lake, named their first child Jennifer Susan.

I've heard about the Lieutenant Governor's Senior Legislative Forum, but what good does it really do? A. During this last sesssion of the General Assembly, the Forum, made up, and run completely by members of over 450 senior citizen organizations throughout the state, had major impact on legislation. For instance, it was the Forum members, who, during annual lueelhig in Oc--questions visit with persons outside the home; and outlining rights for storage space for personal belongings. Again, it is important to note that this legislation would not have come about with strong lobbying efforts by senior citizens and the attention of the news media. Write or call Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal's Senior Action Centers at 160 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, 111. 60601, or No. 3 West Old Town Mall, Springfield, 111. 62701 with ineii tober, 1978, first brought up the need for nursing home legislation, including a "bill of rights" and the need for mandatory training of nurse aides. Along with publicity of the situation in some nursing homes by the news media, and the understanding and study by the legislature, Governor James R. Thompson has recently signed such measures into law. Q. What was that specific legislation? A. Senate BiH 316, sponsored by Senators Richard M. Daley, Chicago, and Lynn Martin, Rockford* and Representative Thaddeus Lechowicz, Chicago, and Senate Bill 309, sponsored by Daley and Lechowicz were the specific measures. They include a bill of rights for the 100,000 individuals living in nursing homes, a training program for nurses' aides who administer most of the care and stern penalties for homes which fail lo meet proper standards and the revocation, suspension or refusal of the state to renew the license of any nursing home if its operator has been em­ ployed or had a financial in­ terest in another home which has had its license suspended or revoked. All of this legislation is known as The Nursing Home Care Reform Act of 1979. Q. What are some specific provisions? A. Some of them include requiring yearly surprise in­ spections of all nursing homes by the Department of Public Health; permitting the Department to assess fines against deficient facilities; allowing the courts to place deficient homes in receiver­ ship; providing suits against the facilities by residents whose care is paid for by the government; requiring a contract between each resident and provider to spell out exactly what services are to be delivered; banning the in­ voluntary transfer or discharge of patients, except in defined emergencies, without a minimum of 21 days' notice; establishing the right of residents to communicate-and or concerns about any government agency or programs.
