VACATION REUNION Former residents, Jcife and Audrey Landl, stopped for a week of visiting friends and relations. Driving their camper from Arcadia, Fla., their first stop was at Joe's daughter Eileen's home in Ohio. After their stay here, Iowa relatives were visited, and then on to Wyoming, finishing off with a stay at sister Mary Paroubek in Colorado. ' One forgets how much family members are missed until there is a reunion. WORM ENTERPRISE Donald Weber and Scott Meyer of Lilymoor are hoping to earn a little spending money this sum­ mer by raising and selling night crawlers. The youngsters have been sprinkling the yards every night when it hasn't rained, and are collecting the fat worms as they .surface. If they can generate enough interest, dad Jerry Weber has promised to provide Donald with a purchased "Worm Farm", to make their venture more professional. When youngsters find ways of helping themselves, everyone seems to benefit. If ' you are fishing and need bait-the night crawlers are available. Call 344-1929 and ask for Donald. FIESTA DAZE It's been an exciting week in McHenry. Many of our youngsters attended the teen night festivities on Wed­ nesday at the Pearl street park, enjoying music and chatting with friends. The International night was colorful and tasteful. A lot of humming was done with the banjo strumming on Saturday night. The McHenry Chamber of Commerce really puts McHenry on the map with this annual week of festivities. The long hours of planning and the hard work of doing, result in a great lime of fun and exposure for our area. BIRTHDAYS Heather Hager celebrates her day on Aug. 1.

To Your Health A Service of McHenry Hospital Elder Brace S. Tall and Elder Bart T. Wilson are working la the McHenry area under direction of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Two young men are working in the McHenry area under direction of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the capacity of missionary work. They are Elder Bruce S. Tall and Elder Bart T. Wilson. - The young men are presenting F.H.E. demonstrations in the McHenry-Wonder Lake area to those interested. The program requires 20 to 30 minutes and a free manual is given to each family. Interested persons may call 344-0485 before 9:30 a.m. or after 9:30 p.m. for an appointment with them in the home. While the media and the masses are sounding the death knell for the family unit, and Americans are < w o r r y i n g a b o u t disintegrating family ties, Elders Tall and Wilson say someone is busy doing something about it. From within. The program is called "family home evening" and the families involved are ' Mormon. Interestingly, while the program itself originated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), others have followed suit, promoting a family evening as a solid start toward bringing families close together again As a member of the by Marion Olsen In the army the standard advice from veteran soldiers lo new arrivals is "Never volunteer". In a hospital the standard advice from dedicated volunteers is "Try it, you'll like it." There are about 100 volunteers at McHenry hospital who look forward eagerly to their half or full day of service each week because they find it stimulating to be involved in the life of a vital community organization. Volunteers at McHenry hospital can participate in i he kind of service that best suits their individual talents and needs. The most noticeable volunteer is the one at the information desk, directing visitors to patient's rooms, delivering flowers and mail, and, most importantly, . acting as liaison between the surgical department and the surgical patient's wailing family. Volunteers act as cashiers in the hospital's coffee shop and serve as salespersons in the Pink Lady gift shop. When a patient is admitted to the hospital it is a volunteer who escorts the Mormon church offered, "You needn't be a Mormon to make the common sense decision to solidify family ties and renew the love that's there." patient to the lab or x-ray department if those services are necessary. Otherwise, the volunteer takes the in­ coming patient to the room assigned by the admissions clerk. People who find satisfaction in direct contact with patients become patient care volunteers assisting the nursing staff. They may help the patient in menu selec­ tion, deliver food trays and, if necessary, assist a patient with eating. They may walk with ambulatory patients who need assistance. Bringing fresh water, watering plants and flowers and running errands for the nurses are also part of the assignment. Escort service volunteers transport patients by wheelchair to various departments of the hosptial. Although all volunteers try to bring cheer lo patients, it is ihe recreational therapy volunteer who brings puz­ zles, games, books and handicrafts to help pass the lime. The Telecare volunteer is the auxiliary's not-so-visible person who is vital to many living alone, elderly com­ munity members. A par­ ticipating community member calls the special Telecare phone number each day to "report in", reassuring ihe volunteer that he-she is well. If a call is not received by a designated time, the member is called. If there is no answer, the PAGE t - PLAINDEALER ' volunteer notifies a neigh­ bor, relative, or, if necessary, the local police department to Investigate. A happy sidelight of this program is the pleasure for both the volunteer and the • caller in having a friendly telephone conversation each day. Both men and women take part in McHenry hospital's volunteer program. Teen-agers, also, are encouraged lo join the junior WEDNESDAY. JULY 9S, 1SSS volunteer program. Young people are quickly trained to assist in patient care and have an opportunity to ob­ serve health care career opportunities. Volunteer Director Vicki Bollensen will be happy lo offer further information to those who have some hours to spare by calling her at 385- 2200, Extension 623.
