The Bicycle Safety day program has been endorsed by law en­ forcement officers. "Bicycles present a challenge to every community," Sgt. George Corson said. "Each year, thousands of children and adults are injured in accidents that could have been avoided if they would have kept their bikes in good running order, obeyed traffic laws, and handled their bikes skillfully." Children who score at least 80 of a possible 100 points on each of the tests, will receive a large embroidered emblem. A spoke reflector will be awarded to those who pass the riding skills test. All participants will receive reflector decals, and safety inspection decals will be placed on all bikes which pass the mechanical inspection. Sgt. Corson, McHenry County Sheriffs police, and Todd Borchardt, 4-H member certified in bicycle safety by the National Safety council, will administer the mechanical inspection, score the test for knowledge of traffic safety laws and basic bicycle safety, will judge, and score the skill tests for riding.

PAGE 9 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY. JULY 22.1W3 Area Men Among Leaders For United Way Campaign United Way of McHenry county's 1963 general campaign chairman, Ronald W. Prather, Crystal Lake, has announced that 13 business and community leaders from throughout McHenry county have agreed to lead the major divisions of United Way's fall campaign to raise $225,000 in financial support for 15 local human service agencies. According to Prather: "Increasing demand for service to local people accompanied by actual declines in government support of human service programs has caused United Way to establish a 1983 campaign goal of $225,000. This goal itself is only part of a five-year plan to increase annual support of United Way to over $500,000, which is the amount really needed by our agencies to maintain current service levels. Although our goal is $45,000 and 25 percent higher than last year, I am confident that we shall succeed. We have the largest, best qualified campaign team United Way has ever enjoyed." Prather added: "I am particularly proud of the quality and dedication of the people from throughout our county, who will lead this year's annual campaign effort. Our leadership team is clear evidence of the partnership created over the years amongst leading businesses, institutions, and social service agencies within our county to promote one common goal...to maintain and strengthen the. human service programs that support the superior quality of life available to McHenry County residents." Dr. Richard Farmer, superin­ tendent, McHenry Elementary school district No. 15, will lead the education division of the United Way campaign. Dr. Jay Sayler, McHenry, will lead the United Way campaign for den­ tists. Prather stated: "The people ser­ ving on this year's campaign leadership, and United Way itself, will be striving for the largest single year increase' in contributions ever sought. However, they will beassisted by the largest team of volunteers recruited to work in our campaign in the past several years. Betweenjnow and the start of our campaign on Oct. 1, our campaign organization is ex­ pected to grow to include nearly 200 volunteers, each of whom will play an important role in achieving our $225,000 goal." OPEN EPILEPSY CENTER The Midwest Epilepsy center an­ nounces its opening in the McHenry area. M.E.C. has counseling services, groups, general information and referral available. Counselors are available between 8:30 and 4:30. Monday through Friday.

The concern is not that senior citizens spend their time in the rocking chair smoking "pot." Medical re­ searchers say elderly people are more sensitive to adverse reactions, interactions and side effects of drugs than yo­ unger segments of the popu­ lation. Individuals over 63 account for about 38 percent of prescriptions and many of these individuals use as many as 18 different medications a year. Because many elderly A- mericans have a number of chronic conditions, and be­ cause the use of over-the- counter and prescription drugs is proliferating, there is a need for accurate infor­ mation about the dangers of multiple medication. Vitamin supplements or antihista­ mines can interact badly with other drugs taken by the eld­ erly. Aspirin ran p*a<?perate Eye drops can cause prob­ lems for asthmatics. Caffeine and alcohol pose additional risks for people taking cer­ tain medications. The Parke-Davis Division of Warner-Lambert Com­ pany has initiated a nation­ wide effort to emphasize the role pharmacists can play in advising older Americans on the corrupt procedure for tak­ ing medications and is also supporting programs at the University of Maryland and the Rutgers College of Phar­ macy in which pharmacy stu­ dents and retired pharmacists speak to older community groups on drug interaction, nutrition, over-the-counter medications, and the need to be assertive in obtaining in­ formation from health care professionals. As we grow older and the need for medication increas­ es, we should all learn how to use, rather than abuse, drugs. =A?
