Prepare For United Way Drive Volunteers for the United Way fall fund raising campaign will be participating in training sessions the week of Sept. 10, at which time they will also receive their assignments, it was announced recently by the United Way of McHenry County. These volunteers are provided by the nineteen dif­ ferent human service agencies that comprise the United Way of McHenry County. On Thursday, Sept. 20, the training sessions will be held at the McHenry city hall - downstairs--llll North Green street at 2:30 and again at 7:30 p.m. As the volunteers of the United Way of McHenry County gear up for their annual fund drive in October, it is in­ teresting to note some of the impressions of Columnist Erma Bombeck in one of her recent articles. The following excerpts from the article gives us something to think about. "Volunteers and yachts have a lot more in Common these days. They're both a part of an aristocratic era that is disappearing from the American scene. They're both a luxury in a]world that has become very practical.^, "Day by dair the number oft' volunteers decreases in this country as more and more of them equate tneir worth in terms of dollars and cents. Three years ago I did a column on volunteers in an effort to point out that they don't con­ tribute to our civilization. They are civilization • at least the only part wo^th talking about. "They are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation's compassion, unselfishness, caring, patience, need and just plain loving one another . Their very presence transcends politics, religion, ethnic background, marital status, sexism, even smokers versus non-smokers. . "Maybe, like the yacht, the volunteer was a luxury, and luxuries are too often taken for granted. Jewish Congregation Plans For High Holiday Services "One has to wonder. Did we, as a nation, remember to say to volunteers, 'Thank you for the six dialysis machines. Thank you for sitting up with a 16- year-old who overdosed and begged to die. Thank you for the hot chocolate at the Scout meeting. Thanks for reading to the blind. Thanks for knocking on doors in the rain. Thanks for hugging the winners of the Special Olympics. Thanks for pushing the wheel chair into the sun. Thanks for being.' "It frightens me, somehow, to imagine what the world will be like without them." The campaign for funds for the nineteen different agencies ofthe United Way of McHenry County will begin in October with a goal of $210,000. Plan To Move? Move Mall Too If a community is average, one of every five families will move to a new address this year. It could be yours. And if you do plan to move, Postmaster LeRoy Smith wants to remind you not to leave behind one of ycur most personal possessions...your mail. From its more than 200 years of experience, the postal ser­ vice knows that when people move, many of them fail to notify those who send them mail regularly, or they wait until it's too late. Yet, these are the people who don't want to miss an important letter, or get a magazine that's outdated, .Postmaster Smith points out, because their mail has to be rehandled and for­ warded to their new address, or sometimes returned to the sender because there's no change of address on file at the post office. "Of course, the post office will keep its commitment to deliver the mail", Postmaster Smith says, "But the un­ necessary extra effort costs the Consumer time and maybe even money." Yet, getting mail moved can be a lot easier than moving furniture and household goods. The answer is simple, Smith explains. Just notify the post office and correspondents at least a month before you move. The easiest and most ac­ curate way to do this is with a free change of address kit readily available for the asking at the post office or from your letter carrier, says the post­ master. The kit contains a supply of post cards - one to send to the PAGE 5 -PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 12.1 •*» post office, and the others to send to credit card companies, doctors, department stores, magazines, insurance com­ panies, and the others who send you mail regularly. By filling out completely, leaving no blank spaces, and mailing these cards...at least a month before you move...you help make sure that your mail will arrive at your new address when you do. "This should be one moving problem you can solve at thr. drop of a post card," Smith says. ; Eclipses Occur Eclipses occur whenever any part of either the earth or the moon enters the shadow of the other. 1BENFRANKUN life bring variety to life.' 1250 N.
