The amendment would also abolish multi-member House districts and cumulative voting and return Illinois to the traditional American principle of one-person, one- vote. Quinn said that more than 230,000 of the 252,000 signatures needed by May 4 Parental Stress Group have already been collected to bring about a voter referendum on the Amend­ ment. "Illinois citizens are way ahead of the politicians when it comes to cutting out political waste and it's time for the people to reform a legislature which refuses to reform itself," said Quinn. If approved by the voters in November, the Legislative Cutback amendment will mark the first time in state history that voters themselves have enacted a constitutional law by direct petition and referendum, totally bypassing the legislature. "The Cutbackiamendment is a direct and responsible way for the people of our state to overhaul the legislature and create a more economical, efficient, a n d i n d e p e n d e n t parliamentary body," said Quinn. Right now the Illinois General Assembly is the third largest in the country and its members are the highest paid state legislators in the nation with a $28,000 salary plus an additional $7,400 in fringe benefits... "The petition drive and referendum for the Cutback amendment is the best way to remind legislators that Illinois taxpayers have not forgotten the sneaky and selfish political pay raises after the last election," said Quinn. "By abolishing the jobs of 59 unnecessary legislators, the Cutback amendment will save taxpayers $7 million a year in reduced salary, expenses, and staff costs." Quinn said members of the League of Women Voters, the Committee for Legislative Reform, and the Peoria Citizens for an Ac­ countable Legislature will also be participating in the April 19 Petition day.

Helping Families Cope (The following is another article written by an area Journalism student at McHenry County college. The writer is Pat Marks). Children hurt, parents hurt, the community hurts - as a result of child abuse. The McHenry County Parental Assistance group is a volunteer organization that was formed to help deal with the problem of child abuse in McHenry county. "The knowledge that someone cares and is ready to listen may make an im­ portant difference to angry or overwhelmed parents," said Bev Doud, vice- president of the board of directors of the McHenry County Parental Assistance group. The MCPA sponsors a 24-hour parental stress line which serves as an im­ mediate and anonymous outlet for angry or frustrated parents.

The stress line was formed Nov. 1, 1978, by a group of citizens who were involved with community family service organizations and realized the depth of the child abuse problem. At that time, Cook county's child abuse hot line received many calls' from McHenry county residents. Answering the need for local assistance, the McHenry County Parental Assistance group was formed to provide preventive and interventive services to families under stress. In addition to the stress line, the organization runs a Parents Anonymous group, a self-help group that meets weekly with a professional social worker. Jean Thurow of Woodstock volunteers her time to work with parents who have displayed an in­ terest in solving their problems. The MCPA also educates the public through seminars and in-service training programs which are available to interested community groups. The MCPA is presently planning a Volunteer Outreach program which will team a trained volunteer with an overwhelmed parent. The volunteer will provide emotional support, a parenting role motiel, and a link to the community and the resources available. Referring to the vicious cycle of child abuse, Doud hopes to make the com­ munity more aware of the stress line and the need to help abusers. In 1978 more than one million cases of child abuse were reported in the United States and a large additional number went unreported. Doud stated that most abusers were the­ mselves abused as children. The lack of support and adequate parenting when young results in inadequate parenting as an adult. The abuser turns to his child for the love and security he lacks and abuses the child when he/ioesn't fill his need. "Children are our greatest resource," said Doud. "The community has a direct investment in stopping child abuse." The MCPA is participating in Family Celebration week by sponsoring informal meetings with a pediatrician, a children's dentist, and an orthodontist. Dr. R. David Halstead, a pediatrician with the McHenry Medical group, will appear Tuesday, May 6. On Friday, May 9, Dr. Richard Kirchhoff, a children's dentist from Crystal Lake will meet with them. Dr. R. Youngquist, orthodontist from Crystal Lake, will appear Saturday, May 10. "Die question and answer sessions will be held at the Crystal Point Mall meeting room from 10 to 12 and will provide an opportunity for parents to talk at greater length about special problems in child care. Child care will be provided for those attending at the McHenry County college drop-off center at the Ridgefield Presbyterian church. Additional in­ formation * about the speakers or the Parental Assistance group is available from Bev Doud, 385-5916. Reservations for child care can be made by calling Bev Doud. Officers of the McHenry County Parental Assistance B f l B O B B B B O B B B Safety Hints BY ALAN J. DIXON Secretary of State The motorcyclist has the same right-of-way privileges as the drivers of other motor vehicles, and he is entitled to the same courtesy and consideration. Keep the following safety rules ^n mind when you are on the same roadway with a motorcycle. 1.) Don't crowd .a motorcycle. Allow more following distance than you- do for a car. A motorcycle often can stop faster than your car because it is much lighter in weight. Also, getting too close may make the cyclist nervous and cause him to lose balance and fall in front of your car. 2.) Regardless of size, motorcycles are entitled to use the full width of a traffic lane, the same as a car. Do not try to stop next to a motorcycle in the same lane . . . either change lanes or stay behind. Do not try to pass a motorcycle in the same lane that it is using. 3.) If you are following a motorcycle, allow plenty of distance when approaching a railroad track. If the crossing is rough or the bracks cross the road at an angle, the rider will need room to maneuver, and he will have to slow down. The motorcyclist is often faced with hazardous situations which do not confront the drivers of other vehicles. Awareness of these potential dangers could help you to avoid a serious ac­ cident. (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Alan J. Dixon, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111., 62756.)
