Gift For Handicapped H Your Police Department by Officer Jim Fitzgerald * * * * * * J i Public Relations Officer McHenry City Police Phone 385-2131 PAGE 5 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, DECEMBER ll. lWt you'll be back, and leave a BIBLE VERSE "Whatsoeverye do, in word or in deed, do alt in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." June Stuart, seated at left, librarian at McHenry Public library, accepts gift of an electric page turner from the McHenry Lions club. With her is Cathy Van Wymen, social service designee from Carestoel, who brought to the attention of the club the plight of a handicapped resident. Standing are Dr. Bertram Irslinger of the Lions club and Charles F. Chevillon, vice-president of the firm that supplied the page turner. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD McHenry Lions club recently purchased an electric page turner for the use of handicapped residents of .McHenry. It was donated to McHenry Public library Dec. 3. Lions Bill Thomas and Dr. Bertram Irslinger were co- chairmen of the project, which was initiated by the special needs of Carestol resident Jere Carroll. Mr. Carroll has been paralyzed by polio since childhood. The Lions club wanted to do something special for him, and chose the page turner as he enjoys reading but cannot hold the book or turn the pages. Dr. Irslinger contacted Charles F. Chevillon, vice- president of a Forest Park firm that develops and markets devices for han­ dicapped people that enable them to live productive lives and care for themselves without assistance. The Lions club voted to purchase the electric page turner, but to donate it to the McHenry library so that all residents of McHenry would have access to it. The club has received six calls from persons in McHenry wishing to purchase a machine for their private use. These calls are being turned over to the firm. Now is the time of year that, unfortunately, many homes are burglarized, and many a family's Christmas season has been ruined because of a little laxity on our parts in securing our homes. It's bad enough to return to the homestead and find that someone has been in the house, but to also find all your gifts missing is doubly hard. So, as I do prior to every Christmas season, I'm going to be talking again on how best to secure your home and make it a little harder for the bad guys. Let's take an imaginary weekend trip to see grandma and grandpa. It's time to leave, and now we're going to walk around the house and make sure it is all locked and secure. First stop is the garage overhead door, assuming you have an attached garage. Is the door closed all the way and is the lock handle turned? If you have an automatic door opener, skip the last part. The one lock most commonly in disrepair in almost 75 per­ cent of the homes is the garage overhead door lock. Now, re-enter the house and close the door leading to the garage. Did you remember to throw the dead bolt lock too? No dead bolt lock? Why not? If the bad guy gets into the garge, at least he'll have a harder time getting into the house. Now, how about the back door • is it locked and deadbolted? Good. Don't forget to turn on the porch light; we don't want to create any dark spots behind the house either where entry can be gained unseen. How about the windows next - all closed tight? Good - don't forget to lock them too. Lock broken? Until you can get it fixed, cut an old broom handle to size and wedge it between the top of sill and the window frame. Do you have a sliding glass door? Lock it, too, and put another cut-to-size broom handle into the track. Even if the lock is broken, if the door won't slide, it won't open. Wait a minute - don't close all those shades and cur­ tains! Obvisouly they are not all closed when you are home, why make it obvious now that you're not home? Now, turn on two lights inside the house, one in the living or family room, and one in either the kitchen or the bathroom. That makes the house look lived in. Someone is almost always in one of those three rooms, right? Do you have a radio? Turn it on too - sounds or noise from inside always helps to * * » keep burglars away. The last thing they want is to meet someone inside. Now you can close and deadbolt from the outside the front door, but only after you've turned on the front porch light, too. You are now ready to get into the car and drive away, right? Wrong! You forgot to tell the Jones' next door that you'll be gone. They can keep an eye on the house till you return. By the way, remember to tell them when number where you can be reached by phone Just in case. OK. Ttoe house is locked and secure, the neighbors have been notified you're leaving, the car is running and you're backing out of the drive to get started - what's th^t? You have to go to the Oh well, time anyhow! have a nice I've been against burning wood for healing ever since the girl next door called me up and asked me to light her fire. So I knocked on her door -- and what she wanted me to do was light her fire. 1. Who is the author of the above advice? 2. To whom was he writ­ ing? 3. Upon what occasion? 4.

Postoffice Announces Holiday Schedules Name Fox Lake Girl To Senate^ Youth Program Illinois State Board of Education Chairman Donald Muirheid has announced the selection of Scott Douglas Krueger of Neoga and Amy Cecelia Rich of Fox Lake as the Illinois delegates to the nineteenth annual United States Senate Youth program. The two high school seniors will participate in the one-week program beginning Jan. 31 under the guidance of Illinois Senators Charles Percy and Alan Dixon.

After the review of 163 student applications for the Senate program, the state board's selection committee named Amy and Scott as delegates. Only students serving in an elected capacity on their local school government body could apply for the Senate program. With each state and the District of Columbia represented by two students, Illinois' delegates will join 100 other selected high school student body officers in learning first hand about the functions of the federal government, particularly the United States Senate. Each of the 102 delegates will receive a $1,500 college scholarship provided by a grant from the William Randolph Hearst foundation.
