PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11,1983 -- EARL WALSH " 1 So I Hear Lest I get rambling and probably will, let me report a call from Ron Creutz. He had a phone convention with his Mom, who is in Florida, to let us know that now famous McHenry Day will be held in Fred Howard Park as usual. That is in Tarpon Springs and starts at 11 a.m. on March 26. Bring your own grub. Talking to Elaine Gray, I asked about which gate the Florida - McHenryites enter, she said to watch the signs at the park. ' Hear that, Bob Frisby? I asked north at this time of year and learned she is waiting for her daughter's blessed event. That is good enough reason for a grandma to be on hand. Time marches on. And fast. We ijiet Don Freund, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Freund. There are so many Freunds we have to identify them. We lived across the street from the Freund family on Richmond Road for 10 years. That was 35 years ago. Don was a yOung boy at that time. Now he is a grandfather. what she is doing up Some people must be getting old. Not me, of course. Those jolly girls in the local Tribune office have promised to do something spectacular so I will put their names in this column. One thing about those girls -- they smile when they take your money. I'll be waiting, girls. Don Lowrey (not a White Sox fan) was only 13 years old when the Cubs won a pennant. He and his cousin slept out on the sidewalk near Wrigley Field to be in line to buy tickets. Think Don should report that bit of loyalty to the Cub front office. If they ever win a pennant again, some consideration should be shown to him. I wouldn't sleep on a sidewalk all night even to watch a team like the White Sox. SUDDEN THOUGHT: Sounds crazy, but now is the time to take your lawn mower to the shop to have it conditioned for days to come. When spring days arrive, everybody wants to be first on the overhaul list. After weeks of mild weather, the tow truck business is picking up. We don't attend as many athletic events as we did in the past, but decided to take in the Warrior-Crystal Lake Central game here Tuesday night. We saw speed, action and some sharp shooting. What we didn't see was a Warrior victory. Leading by nine points at half time, our boys lost by three, 72-69. As we^saw it, when the visitors put on the press in the last half, they turned the game around. Maybe our Warriors like those close games. They beat Woodstock High by one point. 1 GALLON (64 Ox.)

Dr. Charles Pollack, says, "A snoring sound is a result of the soft palate vibrating. This vib ration is caused by a variety of factors which interfere with the smooth flow of air through the airway. The interference can be attributed to structural defects, tumors, adenoids or to a number of other causes." The resistance to airflow is a signal there is an abnormality in the upper airway. Dr. Pollack says that while many snorers risk nothing more than marital discord, others may be at an increased medical risk. "Much work needs to be done to determine whether snoring s is a significant cardiovascular risk factor," says Dr. Pollack. "We do have hints, however, that this may be the case." Dr. Pollack cautions that it is premature to label snoring a medical risk. "If snoring in­ tensifies or becomes increasingly troublesome," he says. "But, it might be prudent to seek medical advice."

Had we known, we would have sent a card. In days gone by, names of patients were listed in "Among The Sick" columns. Now the names aren't published without permission. I can see how too much company can set a patient back. Especially visitors who stay too long. Maybe there should be separate lists. One reading "Cards Only".

One hundred forty-eight essays were submitted this year from five schools in McHenry county. The first place essays have been entered in the Fourth division, DAR, where they will be in competition with the first place winners from the other DAR chapters in northern Illinois. Large Parcels Accepted The U.S. Postal Service will put simplified parcel mailing regulations into effect Feb. 27. Under the new regulations, parcels weighing 70 pounds or less and measuring not more than 106 inches in length and girth combined can be mailed from any post office to any destination within the United States. These standards apply regardless of whether the package is shipped by Express Mail. Priority Mail, parcel post or another fourth-class service. Previously, most post offices in the nation's 6,200 largest cities could not accept parcels weighing more than 40 pounds or measuring more than 84 inches. The exceptions to these size and weight limitations are for space available mail (SAM), parcel airlift mail (PAL), parcels to certain APO- FPO addresses and for mail sent via the Department of State to United States government personnel abroad. Poisons You should keep all drugs, poisonous substances and household chemicals out of the reach of children, according to the National Safety Council. Dear Mayor and City Council HEAR OUR CRIES You: the McHenry City Council cannot hear our cries for HELP". Only you, our Mayor and Alder­ man can help us. We the people of Lakeland Park and Lakeland Shores have a SEVERE water problem; You the City Council" seem to have your priorities in the wrong place. You the "City Council" have built us many parks for our leisure hours, you spend our tax money on beautification, you improved the cities water system, you keep our roads in good repair and etc. But you're not hearing our cries for "HELP", in what should be your first priority, the HEALTH and WELFARE of the residents of the city of McHenry. The residents of Lakeland Park and Lakeland Shores are in the city of McHenry, we should have the same QUALITY, QUANTITY and COST of water as the rest of the city. In my research, I find, the only way possible to accomplish this is for the city of McHenry to take over the Lakeland Park water co. Either by con­ demnation or outright purchase of the water co. I strongly recommend that a committee, be for­ med to negotiate with the owner of the Lakeland Park water co. And a recommendation brought back to the council within a short period of time.

Today, 35-year-old Jennie Hubbard Hall is so healthy, she has trouble convincing doctors she ever had leukemia. But she did, 22 years ago, when it was considered fatal 99 times out of a hundred. Yet she survived to see a day when a young leukemia patient's chances for five year survival are 50 percent - - one 'chance in two - and still improving. In addition, the medication she took for seven years to stave off her disease, was believed to prevent fertility. But she's had two children. Now, children receive a combination of drugs until they go into remission. On the average, this takes four weeks. They then receive one or more combinations of drugs to kill any surviving cancer cells. Today, all c h e m o t h e r a p y i s stopped after two to three years. Jennie Hubbard and other childhood cancer patients are now adults. They are surviving free of disease, having children of their own, working and leading normal, productive lives. This is the defintion of cure and the goal of all cancer treatment. TIPS Medical expenses of a de­ cedent may be deducted on either, the decedent's final income tax return or the es­ tate tax return, or may be al­ located between the two re­ turns. The full amount of med­ ical payments is deductible on the estate tax return, while the income tax deduction is limited to the amount by which the medical payments exceed three percent (3*) of adjusted gross income. Often this three percent (3%) fac­ tor may cause the estate tax deduction to be the better decision. SAFETY BELTS From 14,000 to 18,000 lives could be saved each year if everyone wore ~ safety belts everytime they rode in a motor-vehicle, says the National Safety Council.
