Improve Parkway At Memorial Hospital Lenore Frisby is a co­ worker on the Membership committee of the Business and Professional Women's club and is very happy and eager to help publicize National Business Women's week. She would like to tell what the local club is all about: "The McHenry B.P.W. is one aLeight clubs in District VI in the Illinois Federation of Business & Professional Women's clubs. There are over 150 B.P.W. clubs in the state of Illinois with mem­ bership well over 10,000. "The B.P.W. is also a member of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs which has membership in every state. '•The McHenry B.P.W. was chartered Oct. .1, 1969, with 31 members. The present membership is now 56, all actively engaged in business--or in the professional field. All members live and work in or near the McHenry county area. "The objectives of the club are to further women in business, work toward supportive legislation to benefit women, contribute . toward community in­ terests, provide scholarships to further education of youth and working women, ratification of ERA, help members be better informed about the business world, and work toward increasing membership. "The objectives of the Federation are: "To elevate the standards for women in business and in the professions; "To promote the interest of business and professional women; "To bring about a spirit of cooperation among business and professional women of the United States; "To extend opportunities to business and professional women through education • along lines of industrial, scientific and vocational activities. "The McHenry B.P.W. participates in the McHenry Fiesta day event, conducts the Salvation Army Tag day in McHenry, sponsors two Girl Scout troops, selects a McHenry Business Woman of the Year, sponsored an "I Quit Smoking Clinic" along with the American Cancer society, and conducted child abuse programs. Since 1969 the McHenry B.P.W. has awarded scholarships totaling $400 each year to young women graduating from McHenry high school who have a desire to con­ tinue their education in institutions of higher lear­ ning. Financial support is also given to the B.P.W. Foundation, which awards hundreds of career ad­ vancement scholarships each year. "In the legislative area, there have been many local, county and state public officials attend meetings as guest speakers. They have been offered an opportunity to explain their office, their responsibiliites to the community and to the State of Illinois. Among recent guests were Patrick Quinn for Coalition for Political Honesty, and Jill Zwick, candidate for state representative for the 33rd district. "The club has worked on open primary, legislative cut-back and conducted a Job Service for women in the area. "The McHenry club was awarded the 1979-80 National Legislation award at the state convention in Omaha. The efforts of the McHenry B.P.W. are directed with special interest toward legislation which affects the progress of women, especially women who work. 'No matter what the age, anyone actively engaged in business, or in the professional field, would find attending one of the meetings interesting. Meetings are held at local restaurants on the third Monday of each month. There is the usual (tinner charge and reservations should be made by con­ tacting 385-0258. Bring a friend along - come join us in gaining a better un­ derstanding of the working women of our community." Construction to improve services and parking at Memorial hospital, Wood­ stock, is under way with work started to expand the north parking lot. Also, in a few days workmen will begin widening the entrance driveway, Lee Pesce, executive director, said this week. Workmen will first replace the extreme west and east entrances to the north parking lot, making it possible for motorists to use the middle driveways. Next week the two new outside driveways will be available to visitors and patients. "We are making an effort to maintain parking areas. We realize there will be some inconveniences during the improvement period", said Pesce. "Later this month or in early November, workmen will need to close off the parking lot for a few days to install all-new blacktopping ' and lighting. We appreciate the un­ derstanding of persons in­ convenienced by the im­ provements." The expanded north parking area will park over 180 autos with the addition of 100 parking spaces. Com­ pletion is scheduled for mid- November, weather per­ mitting. The Emergency depart­ ment continues to remain open 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the street construction by the City of Woodstock. 1 Campfire Singalong •o Your Week Ahead Horoscope Forecast Period: 10/26-11/1/80 ARIES Be thoughtful with ones close to you.

Edmund Burke krK>w{J"™J - f / T M t "rwgUiff $ SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER HELPfUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT COMFORT UVtLS In climbing up, or driving up. mountains, in the United States, is it important to al­ low for lessening oxygen? ft is very important to understand the composition of the atmosphere in ascend­ ing mountains-as it is in flying. While most of the gas that surrounds the earth (the atmosphere) is not oxygen, the supply of this gas is vital to our breathing and health. As we ascend, the air gets thinner and we do not breathe in the normal supply of vital oxygen. If you reach an altitude of 10,000 or 11,- 000 feet, climbing or driving, you have reached a danger­ ous altitude. In a few places in this country our mountains rise this high. • Even at 8,000 or 9,000 feet, the effects are consider­ able. Above 9,000, extra oxygen should be used. Vi­ sion at night is very poor at this altitude without additional oxygen. If in doubt whether you are suffering from anoxia, look at your fingernails. They should be pink, and if they are turning bluish, you are experiencing anoxia. A University of Michigan study of elderly people has found they prefer more light and less noise. The study of "comfort levels" showed that older persons want increasingly better lighting for reading as they age, while at the same time they find background noises, particularly children's voices, more bothersome. Home heating needs generally paralleled those of other age groups, the main difference being that younger adults were likely to respond to cold by putting more clothing on and elderly citizens more prone to raise the thermostat settings. Project Director Leon Pastalan of the Institute of Cerontology said research findings generally corroborated written literature about some of the special environ­ mental considerations of the aged. The studies of lighting, for ex­ ample, agreed with finding in lit­ erature which state that as a per­ son ages, more light is necessary, because of reduction of pupil size with age. As less and less'light enters the eye, more light is necewsry for comfortable reading. The acoustics study found that the elderly were less disturbed with traffic sounds than with human sounds and generally more disturbed by background noises than younger persons. Also, while older persons may "turn up the heat" in cold weath­ er, they are energy conscious-- often choosing not to heat dens, porches, even bedrooms. Home­ owners were also shown to be more energy conscious than apart­ ment dwellers. Prof. Pastalan suggests that the study points up the need for gov­ ernment commitment to further investigate lighting standards for the elderly, thermal comfort lev­ els of nursing home patients and the energy using practices of older people.
