Fourlwn THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER • r ' i '<;*-Jr - VOW'vVfVV jA '•::^t,.r•: r'Q^'i : /.. Thursday, July 11; 1957 HEALTH TALK HOT WEATHER TIPS Hot weather is on the way and with it humidity. The combination doesn't make for comfort, but, fortunately, since yqu can do nothing about the weather, there are a few things that can be done to help you weather the discomfort* the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in HEALTH TALK. What happens in hot weather? Actually your body temperature does not rise, provided you are free from disease or infection. Normally, your body temperature has been Standardized at about 98.6 degrees fahrenheit; there may be slight variations, either above or below, which still may be within normal range. When changing weather conditions cause the temperature to rise or fall, a little center in the brain, acting like a thermostat, turns loose the mechanisms that help the body maintain its normal temperature. Heat is produced in the body by the burning of various foodstuffs. The process is called metabolism. The tissues use more oxygen during digestion, exercise and during exposure to cold than when the human body is resting under conditions of warmth. In the automatic adjustment of the human body to outside changes of temperature, the evaporation of sweat from the body surface aids in reducing body heat. In cold weather blood flow diminishes. through the skin, sweating is slight and protective clothing is required for comfort. Actually the sensation of heat or cold is not due to a change in the temperature of the body but to a change in the temperature of the skin. If you perspire freely, you are more comfortable than those who do not, since heat is taken from the body as the perspiration evaporates. When the humidity is high, increasing the moisture in the air, there is less evaporation of perspiration, and consequently less heat leaves the body. One way in aiding the evaporation is to wear light, loose and porous clothing. Since heat is also produced by foodstuffs, another hot weather hint is to cut down on the amount of food ingested, but not to the point where an improper intake produces fatigue. If your body is being inadequately nourished, the "tuckered out" feeling cannot be attributed to heat; you are just not getting enough fuel to keep your body machine functioning. Sleep is usually a problem in hot weather, but try to rest anyway. Evei^if sleep doesn't come readily, just lying down in a supine position eases the strain of muscular function. Cleanliness is always a necessity, but particular attention should be given to it in hot weather. With the s^/eat glands increasing their activity, there is a greater tendency to harbor unpleasant body odors. Frequent baths, or even sponge baths, will eliminate these as well as give you a pleasant feeling of freshness. And watch your disposition. Remember that an outburst of temper can cause your body temperature to rise. And a temper flareup produces a heat that frequently is slow in cooling, not only in yourself but in those about you. Stop complaining about the hoi weather, -- remember it's here at last, after. months of your complaining about the cold. CROP Shipments Value is $1,843,458 Shipments of food and fiber in 1956 made possible by Illinois CROP would make Up a freight train more than 200 cars long: The value of such shipments of contributed farm commoditiesand government surplus „ food is calculated at $1,843,458 by Elvin D. Frantz, CROP director in Illinois. After adding the value of other foods shipped through Mennonite, Lutheran and Catholic agencies from ' funds turned over to tfiem from the CROP ippeal, the total value from ^the state would exceed two million dollars. The administrative cost of the CROP program in Illinois in 1956 was less than one percent of the value of goods delivered. CROP, a program of Church World Service, is promoted in the state by the Illinois Council dof Churches and on the local level by county CROP boards. The program of Christian sharing is supported not only by church groups,* but also by the Illinois Agricultural association, Farm Bureau, Home Bureau, Farmers Union, Grange and other groups. Each November, an appeal to farmers and others is made to help them share some of their produce or cash with their less fortunate brothers overseas where distribution is largely in the hands of missionaries and other church workers. Total CROP contributions in Illinois last year are valued at $144,585.89, which was an 88 per cent increase over the preceding year. CROP foods distributed overseas included such items as corn oil, flour, cheese, powdered milk, corn meal and beef. Large amounts of food were distributed among Hungarian refugees and in other areas of need, including Hong Kong, Korea, Greece, India and the MidCle East. •fr.fr.j. •» 't' '1"1' '8' 'I' 'I1 •* SPRING GROVE By Mrs. Charles Freund , 'X"I' fr frfr 'H' * The John Sheets family have just returned from a trip to Denver, Colo., where they enjoyed a vacation last week.
