Over 600 people attended frcfm throughout the United States and Canada. Director Tina Gorski, of McHenry Birthright, ex­ plained the purpose of this major annual event. "We gather together each year mainly to renew the spirit of Birthright as expressed by our founder, Louise Sum- merhill, 'ihe essence of Birthright is love.' It would be hard for our workers, who deal weekly or even daily with the reality of problem pregnancies, to go month after month without sharing with others who have similar interests and problem cases. Different chapters and individuals exchange ideas and notes, learn from guest speakers and renew our spiritual goals." The theme of the con- p.m. before the picnic, as it was the regular blood pressure day for all senior citizens of Wonder Lake. Six members haved signed up to learn the procedures of this service.

C.'and Louise Summerhill, founder of the Emergency P r e g n a n c y S e r v i c e Movement. Mrs. Gorski added, "Our speakers this year em­ phasized the reaffirming of Birthright's goal to attend to every client's needs on a one to one basis, believing completely in the uniqueness of every individual and her preborn child. Without moralizing or judging, we'd like our office to be a haven in our fast and changing world where we can ap­ proach each new set of problems in a caring and understanding manner."

Punch and cookies were served at a tea held in the cafeteria of Memorial hospital for McHenry county for the nurse scholarship recipients. Attending the tea were the newly enrolled students who will begin their education in the health field this year; those who are currently attending various schools in the field and those who have completed their education and are currently employed at the hospital. It was an opportunity for the group and Mr. Pesce, hospital administrator, lo meet one another. Two assistant directors of nur­ sing and several auxiliary members also attended. Mr. Pesce spoke briefly about the remodeling and expansion program for which approval to-go-ahead was just recently received, and also warned of the temporary inconvenience of this progress, one of which will be parking. However, he pointed out that as progress is made, additional parking will become available as a part of the overall plan. He ended his talk by encouraging the students and inviting them to return lo Memorial hospital to begin their careers. According to Carolyn Sch­ midt, Chairman of the Nurse Scholarship committee, the Women's auxiliary for Memorial hospital has granted scholarships to 22 students who are presently attending schools of their choice. The funds to support this program, which began in 1951, come from profits earned by the auxiliary through operation of the snack bar and gift shop at the hospital and the gift store downtown Woodstock, all of which are staffed completely by volunteers. This program constitutes an expenditure of $11,000 for this upcoming school year. Blanch Vegetables In Microwave If you have a microwave oven you can blanch vegetables for freezing without having a steam- filled kitchen, says Nancy Moore, University of Illinois Extension Home. Economist. But the microwave oven must not be used lo can foods, regardless of the foods' acidity. "Use the conventional boiling water bath and pressure canning methods for all your home canning," Ms. Moore stresses. To use the microwave for blanching, wash, peel and slice the vegetables as usual. Then measure about one pound of vegetables into a casserole or dish that can be used in a microwave oven. Add water according lo the chart available at the Ex­ tension office at 789 McHenry avenue. Wood­ stock. This chart was developed by Michigan Slate university food scientists. Do not add salt. Cover the dish. Set the power control at "high" or "cook". Halfway through the blanching period, stir the vegetables. Then stir them again at the end of the period. Check the vegetable at the minimum blanching time according to the chart. If the color is not evenly bright throughoutr sit and continue cooking lo the maximum time, says Ms. Moore. After blanching the vegetables, plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. When cool, remove the vegetables and pack them in moistureproof or vaporproof containers. To blanch a vegetable not listed on the chart, follow directions for completely cooking the vegetable in your microwave oven, but do not add salt, and reduce cooking lime lo one-fourth lo one-third of the recom­ mended lime. Stir after half the blanching time and after blanching. Check for bright, even color, concludes Ms. Moore. There's An Answer (l>\ Norman Yincciit IViilr and Itnlli Stafford IValrj Positive Thinking Isn't Easy Q. I have teenage and early-twenties children. Some are on the right track, but one causes no end of heartache and worry. This also produces a great deal of tension in the home. Her life style worries us, makes us cross, and angry, not just for her sake but for its adverse effect on her 16-year-old brother. It's easier to read and nod approval about positive thinking than it is to carry it out in a household with so much tension. Please help me straighten myself. If I could, things would be better.^ A. If you can bring yourself to it, try to take the girl as she is. This will serve to reduce tension within yourself, at least. You do not need to indicate that you approve of her life style, but try not to let it throw you. Such an attitude, if persisted in, can conceivably have, in time, a positive effect on her.

My husband of 58 years is a good man, but I keep wondering how sincere anyone can be who repeats the same prayers every day of the year and on and on, year after year. He has a morning prayer, a noon prayer and an evening prayer which he repeats 365 days a year. I think he means it, and it's just easier that way. But I like to use original words when I pray. What do you think? A. It would seem that your husband is entitled to use whatever prayers he wishes and you the same. Some churches have used the same prayers for generations and members derive much from such prayer repetition. On the other hand, other churches use original prayer forms, which also are helpful to others. She's On His Mind Q. I am a 17-year-old boy. Recently I've come to know a 12- year-old girl. I've come to like her a lot, maybe even, dare I say it?....love her. She's emotionally mature beyond her years.. She's let me know the feeling is mutual, but she's going with another boy. She wants to break up with him and come to me, but I don't know If she should or not. Her parents would not approve. What should I do? I've tried to put her out of my mind, but i haven't been successful. A. No matter how emotionally mature a twelve-year-old girl seems to be, she is not ready for a committed relationship with any young man. Her early teenage period is a time for growth and self-understanding which can't be rushed and must be solidified before she becomes seriously involved with anyone. You would be hindering these precious growing moments by limiting this girl's friendships. You can still like her - even love her - without stifling natural development. There's plenty of time ahead for you both, time which will be more meaningful if you hold back now and wait until each erf you is really ready for commitment.
