This new program is a speech correction Ttlass to be conducted at the Dean street school at Woodstock by Ray Eden, speech correctionist in the Woodstock public schools. The dates are from July 3 to August 11 and the hours from 8:30 a.m. until noon. „ A Prospective students ate*asked to register at Dean street school the opening day, July 3 and tli^ regular classes will start Wednesday, J lily 5. The classes are open to the parochial school children as well as the public school children across the county. Mr. Eden asserts that any child .with speech difficulties, such As "a cleft p:ilate, cerebral palsy, articulation difficulty or stuttering is welcome to attend thi3 course free of charge. There will be no hard of hearing classes but any child who *heQds special attention may be referred to a qualified agency. The real value in this speech correction program, according to Mr. Eden, is in the realization that the child needs good speech« patterns. "Too many times because of the summer - vacations, he asserts, a child falls back into the old patterns; however, this summer course will do much to carry the student over until school starts again in the fall." Mr. Eden is well qualified to instruct in this program. He is a graduate of Illinois State Teachers college, DeKalb, and also attended Northwestern university. He served two years 1h the army during World War II and was wounded in battle in the European theatre of war. He served one year as counselor at the neuro-psychiatratric hospital at San Antonio, Texas, where he received a most valuable experience.

WIS. -- Petroleum and electrical fires laat year caused more than $113 million in property damage in the United States, mostly in industrial plants and stores. In additiotf, many thousands of workers were IMd off or made unemployed as « result of the temporary closing of plants. Leading fire fighting authorities say this figure should be sharply reduced this year as a. result of increasing industrial use of a revolutionary new method of fighting fires with dry chemicals. The chemical used is sodium bicarbonate--otherwise known as plain baking soda--which many housewives already use In their kitchens. The baking soda used in fire extinguishers,.however, is chemically treated so that it is water-repellent, free flowing, and immune to deterioration because of time or weather chtngeS.' Carrying 2,800 lbs. of Chemicals f Dry chemical extinguishers are made in various sizes, from hand' units to the ten-ton Are truck pictured above. Produced by the Ansul Chemical company . here, this truck has been foetid especially useful in fightitifer large flammable liquid or gas fires in industrial plants. It is capable of carrying 2,800 pounds of dry chemical and 260 gallons of water, and, with long-range effectiveness, delivers more than 1,000 pounds of dry chemic#l per minute on a largo area gasoline spill fire. l Dry chemical extinguishers have an added advantage in forming a protective heat-shielding wreen as the chemical strikes the fire, thereby enabling the firefighter to get considerably closer to the base of the blase- Fast Action How does the chemical act when, it strikes the blase? The finely powdered particles release hundreds of times their volume m non-toxic fire-smothering gases* Because these gases are released at the base of the fire, their extinguishing action is greatly amplified. The hotter the fire, the quicker the action. Against Class A fires, in which an ash or ember may remain after the flame dies, the dry chemical is effective in knocking the flames down quickly and putting up a protective wall against the heat, but water should be added to put the finishing touches to the embers. Use of dry chemical has been found to reduce considerably water damage from fires. When Buying Seed Look for the certified label when you buy seed for this spring's planning. More uniform stands and higher yields will result. Sources of Water Four-fifths of the water this counjtry uses comes from streams and Jakes. Wells provide the other 20 per cent.
