Recognition of a Hero Unfortunately, we didn't realize last week just how catastrophic was the accident which ocsurred when two young duck hunter^ were dumped in the lake. If it hadn't been for the quick wits of Lawrence Anderson,-perhaps Dick Osterby and Lennie Jensen would be no more. For no apparent reason, their small boat sank, and the hunters with it. They had been yelling for help for some twenty* to thirty minutes when their cries awakened Mr. Anderson, who rushed to their assistance. The screams were heard by patrolling policemen in McHenry but they were unable to locate the, area where the cries originated. John Boyl also head the SOS and rushed down to the lake in time to assist Mr. Anderson with the rescue. The fellows were taken into the Anderson home for first aid and warm clothing. It was several hours before they warmed up enough to return to their homes. Grateful beyond words are Mr. and Mrs. Ray Osterby and Len Jensen and Len's family for the fortunate outcome of this accident. Our community is 'a better place to live In because of people like Lawrence Anderson and Johnny Boyle. The Rungstads' daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Thomsen, of, Chicago, were summoned immediately. At this writing, Mr. Rungstad is in critical condition. Family Reunion Once a year, Jean Marie Markovic's relatives gather at the home of her grandmother, Mary Danielson, for a reunion and this occasion took place last week. "Danny" looks forward to this event because the gang brings all ! the food, performs all the chores, and leaves her home in apple pie order. The men took off for a few hours on the links, and women brought "Danny" up to date on the current chit-chat. Gathered around the festive board last week were Mrs. Mary Dore, Mr. and Mrs. Vol Van Lue, Mr. and Mrs. Ned Kubicelc and Mary Anne and her husband. Jean Marie did her good deed last Saturday by taking down screens, washing windows and putting up storm windows for her grandmother. rpips on iraffic Safety CHARLES F. CARPENTIER Secretary of State It seems that some mptorists cannot be reminded enough of the foolhardiness of the maneuver of swinging open the door on the left hahd side of a vehicle without checking the traffic, coming from the Tear when they are alighting from a car. There is no excuse whatsoever for anyone to become involved in an accident of this type. It takes only a matter of seconds to check and see if there is any traffic approaching from the rear before opening the door. When parking in a district where a clear view may be had by the use of the rear view vision mirror, a check through the mirror is usually sufficient. However, when getting out of a car which is parked closely in front of another vehicle, the motorist should take the added precaution of running down the window next to his seat and making a thorough examination of the traffic coming from the rear. Attend Funeral Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Carbonaro i attended the funeral last week of Kelly's uncle, Joseph Prococco, of Chicago. Mr. Prococco was a frequent visRor at the Carbonaro home and his passing was a great shock to his family and friends. mmm Rabbit Fever With the advent of the hunting season, great precautions should be attempted against tularemia, one of the severe diseases transmitted by animals to man. The popular term "rabbit fever" for this condition is actually a misnomer, since the infectibn is spread not only by rabbits, but by rodents, fleas, ticks and lice, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a health talk. However, it has taken this name undoubtedly because of the number of rabbits, particularly cottontails and wild hares, shot during the hunting season. TularexAia has been called the ail-American disease, for, although it .is found in many parts of the world, practically all knowledge about it, including the cause, was discovered iri\ America by Americans. Tularemia takes its name from Tulare county in California, where it was first found in 1910. Hunters, marketmen, housewives and others who dress wild rabbits and other wild anirajails with their bare hands are particularly susceptible. The causative germ may enter the body through a cut or abrasion in .the skin, thus getting into the blood stream and internal organs. A severe ulcer may form at the wound, no matter how slight in size. The lymph glands -become inflamed, and the patient is intensely sick, having a severe headache, chills and other pains as well iut high temperature, -"'t • r. In recent years research has been on the relationship of weather to tularemia. TTiese studies revealed that more cases were reported when prolonged unseasonably warm weather persisted into the hunting period. The incidence dropped during freezing temperatures. Another factor considered in the investigations, however, was the abundance of rabbits on the onset of the hunting season. Hunterd have been advised to protect their hands by wearing gloves, since the skin can be torn by barbed wire and briers. However, this precaution is not completely safe, because scientific evidence is available indicating the tularemia is transmitted to man even though the skin is unbroken. All persons handling rabbits should be cautious and, certainly, the anim£ls should be properly cooked, since thorough cooking will destroy the infection. Although some of the. newer drugs have been effective* in controlling ' thfe' infective ' organises causing tularemia, many fatalities still occur among human beings. Pneumonia is also a complications of the disease,, and convalescence from a siege of tularemia is. slow, often requiring several months. Rabbits ape noted for their quickness, so those who are slow in moving and obviously sluggish should be suspected. So hunters and others handling animals t£ke care. £e quick to beware of the sick rabbit and the hare. FEDERAL FOODS 'Next month the Illinois Public Aid Commission will add wheat flour and corn meal to the list of federal foods which it distributes to needy persons in Illinois. The flour and meal were made available to Illinois following a request in the matter by Gov. William G. Stratton to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. • • •"* - '-- ' croi^;I*ABGE"7 - "*/' • iniiidis' corn and soybean crops will be larger than average, despite the prolonged period of summer heat and drouth which cut yields sharply in a few wide-, ly scattered areas and reduced early season prospects generally.

Besides the life of the motorist alighting from the parked vehicle, other lives are at stake. The driver of the vehicle approaching from - the rear may--In that short space of time in which he must make a decision--decide to swerve sharply to. his left. He thus endangers motorists coming from the opposite direction. A copy of the completely new "Rules of the Road" booklet will be sent to you free upon request. Write to CHARLES P.
