The victims of the unfortunate accident were Peter and Paul Kohout, aged two and four respectively, who were sleeping in a north downstairs bedroom with their mother, Mrs. Dorothy Kohout. CLL£.± The state director of selective service announced this week that drafting of married men without children will start in Illinois by Dec 15. The Sunday Tribune carried an article which named Sgt. Merle C. Davis as one of eight men from the Chicago area to be raised to the rank of warrant officer in the Marine corps. His wife, the former Maxine Bacon, and daughter, Maxine Marie, are making their home with her mother, Mrs. Nellie Bacon, for the duration. ' * .• i TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of November 14, 1957) The McHenry State bank mailed Christmas club checks totalling more than $125,000, the accumulated savings of 1,000. club members. This year's club reached a new high in both membership and money saved. .The McHenry Bible church has extended a call to the Rev. Samuel J. Stoesz of Chicago to become pastor.

Serving with him will be Mike Brown as vice-president and Rick Lane, treasurer. McHenry Consolidated School District 15 may be in line to have one of its schools developed as a local planning model by the state of Illinois. The board approved an ad­ ministration recommendation to make application for a Planning contract to the Illinois Network for School Development in the Office of the Superintendent of Public In­ struction. A review of proposed changes in the tentative 1972-73 county board budget at the November meeting resulted in considerable discussion and debate. Some changes resulted from the long conversation. Members will now prepare a levy figure which must be completed by February Lions Screen For Glaucoma ment, if necessary. on tjie Persons erred io Some experts say we remember things better if we learn them just before going to bed than if we learn them in the morning. Fewer events interfere with the memory, they say. Glaucoma has a voracious appetite. Every year, in the United States alone, it gobbles the sight of 4,000 people. More than 1,000,000 people, age 35 or , more, are losing their Sight from glaucoma right this moment without knowing it. It might be anyone. It is easy, simple, and painless to find out. And, although glaucoma is not preventable at this time, it is controllable if caught in the early stages. Early detection is the goal of the Wonder Lake Lions club, working with the Lions of Illinois Foundation, the non-profit, charitable arm of the Illinois Lions clubs. The local club will provide a visit of the Lions of Illinois Mobile Glaucoma (Eye) Screening Unit Nov. 18. The unit will be located Fire Hazards Kerosene heaters, wood stoves, barbecue g r i l l s , h e a t i n g equipment, fireplaces and fuel storage are conveniences that may be great hazards at this time of year, according to the office of the state fire marshal. "It is these hazards that make fall especially dangerous b e c a u s e , w h e n preparations are being made for winter," State Fire Marshal Jack H. Carter points out, "too many people are careless or thoughtless about fire safety and prevention. "Instead," he says, "this is the time when special precautions should be taken." Carter suggests, for ^xample, that now is a " time to check the ies and operation >ke detectors - or jthem. 'averages, more occur between 4 and 5 p.m. on Saturdays, when home owners are working around the house, than at any time and day of the week. Of the hazards, kerosene heaters are probably the most dangerous. In addition to using a very combustible fuel, they consume oxygen and expose very hot surfaces -- personal h e a l t h h a z a d s , especially to children and the elderly - and mo6t are not as sturdy or as practical as s u p p o s e d . M a n y kerosene heaters are refueled indoors - a very unsafe and unwise practice. Wood stoves are dangerous if not properly installed, insulated and cleaned before operation. They, too, have hot surfaces than can cause burns and are especially fire- prone if not cleaned, with flues and chimneys checked. Barbecue grills, being used for a final time in the year, are dangerous because the chill air causes homeowners to leave them unattended. Further, they may be used too close to the building, under a flammable overhang or in the garage. Heating equipment, when turned on for the first time, may reveal too late that filters, rurnaces, cnimneys and flues are not clean. Routine maintenance should be practiced. Fireplace operations can result in flames residue in the at the fire station, 4300 E. Wonder Lake Road from 9:30 a.m. untill noon. The screenings are for adults and are offered free; no appointment is necessary. Volunteers from the Lions club will be on hand to assist. The glaucoma test itself Is administered by a doctor from the University of Illinois Abraham Lincoln School of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology.1 The glaucoma test is done with an instrument called a tonometer, which measures the fluid pressure in the eyeball. Glaucoma is an eye disease marked by a build-up of that pressure, damaging* the optic nerve. What is offered by the Lions is a screening. No medical treatment or definitive diagnosis is given If the doctor discovers a suspicious fluid pressure, the person is referred to a Another screening offered unit is for visual acuity. failing that screening are referred appropriate eye care personnel.*. _ "Many people are blinded by glaucoma net -flessly," said Lion Jack Crawford, president. "We hope the adults in out community will take advantage of this free screening." The Glaucoma unit visits more than 300 Illinois communities annually, screening more than 30,000 persons each year. The project is ad ministered by the Lions of Illinois Foundation, 1515 N. Harlem Ave., Oak Park. The majority of funds to run the unit come from Candy day, held statewide the second Friday of every October to benefit a variety of projects to help the blind, visually handicapped, deaf, and hearing i m p a i r e d . u f . „ • > -- -- " M i : CANCEL HEALTH AGENCY MEET The Health Systems Agency for Kane, Lake and McHenry Counties Inc.

Fuel shortage, not only during the fall but at any time of the year, is expecially hazardous. It should not be stored in the house nor left open. Power mowers and other gasoline-operated equipment should be drained and clear of fuel before storage.
