. PAGE T O - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MAY ZI, 11 Taking New Car Apart At MCC Nof,ee It's not often that an automotive student, gets to practice on a brand new, fully equipped automobile. But that's exactly what the students enrolled in automotive technology classes at McHenry County college will be doing this fall. The college has been given a pilot car, which is one of the first cars which comes off the assembly line for a new model year. The donation of the Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal was offered to MCC through the efforts of a former student, Michael J. Walsh, who jow works for General Motors in Detroit. The car has only 703 miles on it and those were run up on a test track as part of the comprehensive examination to see if the car was perfect before others were run off the assembly line. Normally pilot cars are destroyed, explains Dick Hranac, coordinator of the automotive program, but this one was saved from the crusher for the benefit of MCC students. Hranac explains that pilot cars are extremely well built and are tested for all ac­ cessory functions, control, water . leaks, pollution devices and "everything else you can think of:" Because pilot cars have no serial numbers, they cannot be titled or driven on the. street. But the new car will be ideal for beginning students in 'alignment, chassis and suspension courses. Students can also work on the brakes and the electrical system and tune up the engine. "The car will slowlv self- destruct," Hranac explains almost wistfully. But he adds thai students will get to take it apart tand put it back together many times before that happens. Even thcragh Hranac admits it is hard to turn a novice loose on a $9,000 car, this pilot car is ideal for that purpose. "If it's the car of a faculty member or of another student who has to depend on it and our beginning students make a mistake that will take time to repair, it is a real problem," he said. Many of the other cars donated to MCC are either extensively damaged or are older models, Hranac noted. They just don't have the up- to-date goodies that the students need to know how to repair," he said. The Oldsmobile has power-windows, power locks, electrically controlled rear view miiTor, six-way power seats, a tilt steering wheel, air-conditioning, a rear window defroster, an automatic radio antenna for the AM-FM radio and a stereo system, Hranac said, explaining "it's a real creature comfort machine." It also has the most modern pollution control devices and safety items, he said. Even when the car is worn out from students working on it the college will be able to salvage parts for use in individual classes such as the clutch control torque converter, rotary air- conditioning compressor, automatic transmission and the braking systeni, Hranac said.

The uniform new stones mark some of the oldest graves in the little cemetery - Confederate graves, they are a distant legacy from the government these soldiers fought against, supplied by the Veterans Ad­ ministration's Department of Memorial Affairs. Through the work of Douglas Griffith, whose great-grandfather joined the church in 1862, and who verified the names and gravesites of nearly 60 Confederate soldiers, the VA was able to add them to the ever-growing list of other Confederate soldiers throughout the South whose graves are memorialized by the same markers found in any of the country's national cemeteries. Although the national cemetery system was" for­ med after the Civil War to care for the graves of Union soldiers, veterans of the Confederate forces have been eligible for VA grave markers since 1906. VA officials say the. Bicentennial fostered ex­ tensive interest in local history and triggered a wave of research in southern states to identify the graves of Civil War soldiers. One of the largest of these projects has been conducted by the American Legion in Montgomery, Ala., where its members have worked with the local historical society to identify nearly 350 Con­ federate gravesites in a city cemetery and 400 others in nearby areas. VA's Department of Memorial Affairs prepared and shipped 521 markers for Confederate graves in Fiscal Year 1977, the start of the popularity for this sort of thing- In FY 1978, a total of 770 markers were ordered. A year later the number rose to 1,154, and so far this year 448 have been sent out. VA officials said authentication of gravesites is usually accomplished from state archives, local historical organizations, or family and church records. For people such as Douglas Griffith, it's a matter of obligation. "There's not much you can do for a dead soldier but preserve his memory," he says. "We owe them that much." MOTORCYCLE SAFETY by: Packey E. Rush Motorcycle Safety Coordinator Illinois Department of Transportation The best motorcycle safety tip that anyone will ever give you .is to always wear a helmet. I've taken this opportunity to correct some of the most common helmet misconceptions. Doesn't a helmet impair vision? According to the Motor­ cycle Safety foundation in order to be certified, helmets must provide a minimum peripheral (side) vision of 120 degrees. A normal person's peripheral vision when standing still is 110 to 115 degrees. Once the cyclist starts riding, his area of vision decreases. Increased, speed, not helmets, causes this tunneling effect. The effect occurs with all moving vehicles. The faster the speed, the narrower the tunnel and the less you see. Doesn't a helmet reduce hearing? A helmet does provide a screening effect, but it screens all sounds to the same degree. Thus, noises that the cyclist doesn't need to hear, such as wind blast, are screened along with other sounds. The cyclist wearing a helmet hears all critical sounds at the same relative strength as the rider without protection, except at higher speeds. At highway ~ speeds wind noise becomes a critical factor in the cyclist's hearing. Because a helmet acts as a windscreen, the helmeted cyclist actually hears better at high speeds than the bareheaded rider. Don't helmets cause neck injuries? A common argument is that the added weight of a helmet contributes to whiplash injuries; however, whiplash injuries don't happen to cyclists. If a cyclist is hit, the entire body is free to move; but when a car is hit only the driver's head and neck move violently over the back of the front seat. This snapping action is what causes whiplash. Whiplash injuries are peculiar to car ac­ cidents. A helmet does add extra weight, but only for a day or two; then the muscles adjust and you don't feel any "weight problem." The chances of taking a direct blow on the neck during a fall are pretty slim, but the chances that you'll hit your head are more than fifty percent. Most neck injuries occur when the rider's head gets bounced on the pavement, or hits a guardrail or cracks somebody's windshield. If the rider isn't wearing a helmet, a neck injury is the least of his problems. Since your head sits on your neck, if a helmet absorbs the impact that would be taken by your head, it also absorbs the impact that would be taken by your neck. What should I look for when purchasing a helmet? There are many types and styles of helmets available, and prices vary widely. Whatever style you choose, select the one that offers the most protection - which may not be the best looking or even the most expensive. You should wear a helmet that bears either the American National Stan­ dards Institute label or the1 Snell Memorial foundation label inside. " For comfort and protec­ tion, your helmet should fit snugly but not too tightly. Avoid the helmet that fits loosely. Remember to fasten the chin strap securely - a loose helmet offers little protection and can come off during an accident. Send your questions to me at 2300 S.

FOR ALL YOUR GARDENING NEEDS Route 4 7 Just North of Woodstock I Senior By Lieutenant Governor DaveO'Neal The 1981 White House conference on .Aging will be held in Washington, D.C. in early December, 1981. Conference activities began this month with a series of local community forums; between v now and the national conference there will be a series of state conferences,' regional hearings and special mini- conferences. * Q. What are the issues confronting the 1981 White House Conference on Aging? A.. The legislation calling for the conference identified the need to: . -improve the economic well-being of older Americans; -make quality health care more readily available; • -establish a more com­ prehensive social service delivery system; -expand availability of housing, long-term care and retirement policy; -offer greater em­ ployment opportunities for older Americans ; and - - o v e r c o m e a g i n g stereotypes and encourage medical research into the aging process. Q. Who is running the conference? A. It was initially planned under the direction of the federal Department of Health, Education dnd Welfare. A 55-member advisory committee has been formed and a 96- member technical com­ mittee has been selected to assist with background . information on various issues. One of the conference's four deputy chairpersons is an Illinoisan, Bernice Neugarten of Chicago. Illinois also has three members on the advisory committee, Helen Lopata, Masako Osako and Marshall Holleb, all of Chicago. Q. Who are the conference delegates? A. Plans call for a total of 1,800 delegates to the con­ ference. Delegate selection will be carefully assigned to reflect the number of elderly persons in each state and to include an equitable number of minority representatives as well as some represen­ tatives from national organizations. Plans for selecting Illinois delegates are being formulated. Q. How will the conference be funded? A. Congress appropriated $3 million in HEW's 1979 budget to set up the White House Conference on Aging. A request for an additional $3 million has been sub­ mitted and about $2.1 million has been contributed by the federal Administration on Aging. Most of these funds will go to promote the conference and to pay travel expenses for the advisory committee, the technical committee and for the delegates to the regional hearings in 1981 and to the actual conference in Washington, D.C. in 1981. In addition, small grants will be made to states to assist them in arranging state White House Con­ ferences. Write Senior Action Centers at 180 N. LaSalle, Chicago, 80801 or'3 W.
