JAMES W. BARTON {Released by Western Newspaper Union.) IT IS in the late summer and early autumn that infantile paralysis is at its height. Thus many parents and physicians n a t u r a l l y f e e l that there may be something in the water where children swim or bathe that causes this disease. The virus or poison of infantile paralysis taken from the stool or waste from a victim has produced infantile paralysis in monkeys. Dr. Samuel M. Ellsworth, Harvard university, while engaged in a study of sewage disposal in a New England city found that the bathing beaches, under certain conditions of wind and tide, were affected by sewage pollution. In the Journal of Experimental Medicine he states that during the epidemic of in At sunrise Thursday, Oct. 16, the bombardment on lakes and streams began as the shooting season for migratory water fowl opened in Illinois. Thousands of hunters are expected to be on the water during the first few days. ' Only minor change* in the game code are noted this year. The season dates are from* Oct. 16> to Dec. 14, inclusive. for ducks, brant and coots (mudhens); but Tails and gallinules may be taken from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30. Shooting hours are ftom sunrise to^ four o'clock for ducks, geese, brant and coots. Feeding or baiting of birds or the use of live decoys is prohibited. Threeshell limit on repeating shotguns, not larger than ten gauge, is permitted. Section 38 of the state game code provides the following restrictions: "It shall be unlawful for any person to take migratory waterfowl within one hundred yards of any waterfowl refuge; for any person to establish or use any blind for taking wild geese within 150 yards of any other blind or within seventy-five yards of the boundary of the property upon which such blind is located; for any person Navy Club Asks Aid ;; of County Residents The McHenry County Naval club, which is composed of men who have seen service and have received an honorable discharge from the United States Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Naval Reserve and the Marine Corps Reserve, are endeavoring to compile a list of all ex-navy, marine and coast guard men, as well ss a list of all of the boys from McHenry county .who are now serving in active duty in any of these organizations. If you have the names and addresses of those who are now in the active service of any of these organizations, it would be appreciated if you would give them to the editor or mail them to J. J. McCauley of Harvard, 111., j who is acting as county chairman of the Navy Day activities. Strange as it may seem, the seaboard states do not contribute the greatest number of men to the naval service, but it is the inland states that supply the largest number of recruits. As of June 1, 1941, there were 7,489 enlisted men in our navy who are residents of Illinois. Thife number has been greatly increased, and it would not be surprising if the official record would disclose in the neighborhood of 10,000 men as of this date.

The Girl Scouts are to meet at the Grade school on Saturday morning at nine o'clock, and to return just before noon. The leaders and the girls wish to thank the ladies who have kindly offered to drive us to the Pistakee Bay school. We had a good laugh over the story, The Cinderella Complex" from "The American Girl." After hearing it, we really should know what to do in a few years when we have a college roommate. After that part of the meeting was completed, we all went down to the gym and divided into patrols for the game, "Squad Dodge Ball." Mary Douglas' patrol won the game. Relays followed with the usual noise and excitement which accompanies them. Elida Page and Agnes Miller headed our relay teams. Five o'clock came all too soon, and with it "Run Along Home** and "Taps" to close our evening's fun. • We were glad to have our old scouts, Betty Kramer, Bonnie Page and Mitzi Durland with us.

There is much to learn about the cause of infantile paralysis, how it enters the body and the best method of treatment, but it does seem that it occurs in summer, and most cases had little trouble solving McHenry's defense, as they drove to their first 6core before the visitors even gained possession of the ball.

With less than three minutes remaining in the game, Jackson intercepted an enemy pass and outdistanced his opponents to score. Northbrook then drove into McHenry territory. But a bad pass by the Northbrook center was smothered by a swarm of McHenry players In mid-field which kiled any chance to score. The game ended McHenry, f#Northbrook, 12.

Research workers tell us that the average time required to get off to sleep is 20 minutes. Experiments show that if we can «et our mind off things (blank), and cut off outside influences such aa light and sound, sleep will come on sooner. How are you to know whether you are getting sufficient sleep? Nathaniel Kleitman, University of Chicago, in his book "Sleep and Wakefulness," states that the outstanding effect of lack of sleep is fatigye of a portion of the brain resulting in making a good-natured individual cross or angry, slight injuries become more painful, and there is a failure to perform ordinary work with the usual degree of speed and correctness. "In general, individuals deprived of sleep for short periods of time are not af cted to any real extent as to heart rate, blood pressure, rate at which body processes work, appetite and richness of the blood." .
