This week Crime Stoppers is seeking information on an unusual burglary to a gas station in Woodstock- A break- in where the suspect abandoned his "loot" a short distance from the scene of the crime. New vehicle helps Lions conduct screenings Are you losing your hearing? You might be, without even knowing it. The Illinois Lions Clubs want to help protect hearing through early detection of possible hearing loss. To educate the public about hearing preser­ vation and to aid in the early detection of bearing loss, the Lions, through the Lions of Illinois Foundation, offer free hearing screenings to adults. In January, 1963, a new self- contained vehicle called the Lions of Illinois Mobile Hearing Services Unit went into service For Your Information DMrbtofidi, as part of the statewide program. In earlier years, Lions set up equipment in indoor locations to conduct hearing screnings. The response was so positive that the Lions have purchased a seiT- contained screening vehicle that will travel the state at the in­ vitation of Lions Clubs. The screenings offered are for persons at least 21 years old. Several persons can be screened at the same time in cubicles with specialized screening equip­ ment. Each screening takes only a few minutes. Persons failing the screening are urged to seek professional help for a complete evaluation. Illinois Lions work in the areas of vision and bearing conservation and restoration, prevention of blindness and deafness, and direct services to the blind and deaf. In Illinois alone, close to 720,000 persons have hearing impairments. Of those persons, 106,000 are deaf. For information, contact the McHenry Lions Club or the Lions of Illinois Foundation, 7321 W.
