Sma/it-C by Maggie Lovewell Mother, you can't always get an OVERWEIGHT TEENAGER to go on a diet, but you can get her to help herself so she's slimmer and pretty as the school year progresses. First, she can still be one of the snack crowd in afternoons or evenings, but she should cut down to one snack instead of two. Remind her that an ice cream soda has 300 calories, while a lemonade has less than 80! Next, she shoulql eat slowly «=--makes it easier to refuse seconds when there's still food on her plate. And, easiest of all, take smaller portions. P.-S. Posted this list on the mirror so my smarty puss sees it every morning. Works! The HANDIEST "TOOL" for your sewing basket, or machine drawer is a small magnet --no more lost needles, girls! How's that lovely SUMMER HANDBAG you bought holding up? Chances are, whether it's STRAW, CANVAS or PLASTIC, it's dirtier than you realize. But give it a good dry sudsing -- using a little brush and some nice thick soapsuds- - and see how much fresher and cleaner it looks. If you use a bag every day, you should give the inside a housecleaning at least once a week (if inside lining is plastic, wipe with damp cloth. And when autumn arrives on the scene, store your summer bags in paper or clear plastic bags to keep them clean and ready to go next year.

A joint committee, headed by Rudolph Smith, president of Carpenters Local 2187, merchants and representatives of labor and business have been hard at work to make the affair a success. Invitations are extended to 4-H and Grange groups as well as farm machinery dealers and manufacturers to enter floats in an- effort -to involve the farm group. Betty Boppart and Terry Cairns, 4-H Queen and King of McHenry County will be a feature of the parade. Labor, industrial and business as well as fraternal organizations, civic organizations and any other interested groups of the county are urged to enter decorated cars. American Legion, VFW drill teams and color guards are urged to enter also. Several antique cars are planned to roll and others are welcome. A Nike Missile from the U.S. Army. will be on display in the parade and a sixtypiece band from Racine composed of fourth to eighth grade students who won honors in the "Milwaukee music centennial will march in the spectacle. The group of marchers will form at the high school parking lot about 11:30 a.m., with (he line of march to begin by 1 p.m. traveling by way of Walkup street, Crystal Lake Avenue, Williams Street, Main Street and Gate street, to Veteran Acres for a program including drill team exhibitions and trophy awards.

Because three out of every four adult Americans are not adequately protected, more than 50 percent of those who develop tetanus died. The popular opinion that tetanus can result only from a deep, serious wound or from "stepping on .a rusty nail," is a falacy. Tetanus can result from the slightest cut, scratch, burn or even insect bite. The inherent danger is that the tetanus spores are found almost everywhere -- in soil, street dirt, on domestic animals and plants, and are difficult to kill with ordinary sterilizing met hods. The disease can be contracted anytime, but increased outdoor activities during the summer make it an especially dangerous hazard. Under conditions ideal for contamination, the hardy tetanus- producing spores can lodge in a wound and produce endotoxins w'hich affect the motrtr nerves at the site of infection with resultant muscle spasms. The elostrididium tetani is a microscopic, rod-shaped organism that thrives in the absence of oxygen. The symptoms usually appear within five to fourteen days, and during this "incubation" period of the disease the unsuspecting victim enjoys apparent. good health. The shorter the incubation period the more serious the illness is likely to be. Early symptoms usually include restlessness, irritability and muscular stiffness of the jaw, neck or limbs. Muscle rigidity may increase until the neck, back, arms and legs become stiff, arched and extended. At this point, the patient gives the appearance of being . bent backward, bowshaped. Death may result from asphyxiation caused by spasm of the muscles of respiration. No drug has been found effective in treating tetanus once it has reached the nervous system. But if the patient is capable of recovery, large doses of antitoxin will neutralize the toxins. Protection against tetanus is by immunization. Two methods are available •-- active and passive. Active tetanus immunization is accomplished with tetanus toxoid. The first in a series of three injections is usually given within one and-a-half and two months after birth. The second injection generally follows a month later, and the third within six months to a year. However, booster injections must be given every five years to be immunized. Active immunization with tetanus toxoid is safely administered and is felt to be 100 percent effective. For those injured persons who are not protected by tetanus toxoid, passive immunization with tetanus antitoxin is effective. • However, many persons are allergic to the horse serum from which the antitoxin is prepared, and serious complications can result. FLIES SPREAD DISEASE Of all the insects in the world, Musca Domestica is probably man's greatest enemy. You know him as the common housefly; but maybe you didn't know just how serious a health threat he really is. Flies may spread dysentery, summer or infant diarrhea, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, trachoma and polio. For example, bacillary dysentery- a disease of the intestines is more prevelent in the summer when the fly population is the greatest. It has been proven that flycontaminated milk may lead to fatal cases of infant diarrhea. Summer or infant diarrhea occurs principally under crowded, unhygienic condition < during hot weather when foods can be easily contaminated by flies. The common housefly can spread typhoid fever by picking Up the germ from unsanitary toilet facilities used by a victim of the disease or an unsuspecting "healthy" carrier. The. fly can also spread infected particles of sputum of a careless TB patient. Trachoma blinds scores of people in Africa in epidemics spread directly by flies. This eye disease is rare in the United States. However, a number of Americans are victims of a highly contagious eye infection called conjunctivitis o. "pink eye" -- which can be a forerunner of trachoma if uncontrolled. Scientific investigators have found that the polio virus can survive on the outside of a fly's body for several days. For this reason, it is believed that flies may be a contributing factor in polio epidemics. The housefly seems especially equipped for his role as a disease carrier and he does his harmful work in two ways. First, infected material readily sticks to the hairs and bristles on the fly's body, particularly to the adhesive organs on the bottom of his feet. Then all the fly has to do to transmit the infected material is to land on you, on your food or on the things you touch. Second, he deposits infected material he has eaten through his wastes. It's an obvious conclusion, therefore, that you're living with danger if you've given the housefly a home. So to rid your house of flies and protect your health, follow these rules: Wrap all garbage and keep garbage cans covered; store unused food; wipe up spilled fooas immediately; transfer stapjtfe foods from boxes to tins anfl jars; spray insecticides in the corners of your kitchen, your bathroom spotless and re» pair holes in windows and doojr screens.

The Drivers Seat Did you know that 59.6 per cent of all the trips made by automobile in the United States are less than five miles long? Such is the vital, indispensable information available about the travel habits \)f Americans. Or, did you know that the "average" vacationer travels 296 miles from his home and carries an "average" of 2.7 occupants in his car? Eighty-two per cent of all people who vacation, travel in their own cars, by the way. . The director of the U. S. Office of Highway Safety, James K. Williams, observed recently that, there is now in the United States one vehicle for every two-and-a-half persons and twenty-two vehicles for every mile of road. Furthermore-- note this -- highway accidents cost about one cent for each mile of travel in Illinois, said Williams. Moving from .Cars to drivers, the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads announced recently, with fanfare, that 93,700,000 people, about half the population, are licensed to drive. With that many drivers behind the steering wheels of that many cars, things are bound to happen. The traffic engineer of Westchester county, N. Y., got into the statistics act recently by announcing that during 1963, 14,241 persons were injured in automobile accidents in his county and that this is more than the entire population of the city of Rye, all of which probably madfe the residents of that city feel somewhat insecure. Following a logical train of thought, we come to statistics on the means for preventing many accidents by so many cars with so many drivers driving them down the 3,600,000 miles of road in the United States. Did you know that seventeen states and the District of Columbia require light reflecting license plates? It is estimated that more than 16 million motor vehicles carry the night time safety devices which have prevented..-^. a ^lloott of rearend collisions. To conclude this compendium of vital information about the field of private transportation, hllow us to inform you that 86 per cent of the families in Klamath Falls, Oregon, own automobiles. That old, old world-war may start all over, with wound^ opened up again and husbands and wives not speaking to each other. That old war is the one about whether men or women drivers are better. Now, some new statistical information shows that women drivers, particularly those under 25 years old, are involved in an increasing number of accidents. These statistics are based not on how many men or women drive, but on the number of accidents per miles driven. Since 1958, according to the National Safety Council, male accident rates have been decreasing while those of women have been increasing. Traffic authorities don't know the reason-for this, for sure, but the general belief is that at least part of the increase has come from suburban housewives, who are the family "chauffeurs" and are doing more and more driving each year. As one result of the increase, insurance rates possibly will go up for the younger women drivers. We'll be impartial in the impending arguments by supplying ammunition to both sides. Women can note that, despite the increasing rates, the fatality rate for women is 34 deaths per million miles driven, while that for men is more than twice as high, at 77, according to the latest statistics available. Men can note and quote the Safety council's remark that men have higher rates, in part because they do most of the night driving and rural road driving, with these two categories by far the most hazardous of all driving. No matter who wins any of the family arguments about who's best or safest, women are going to be greatly outnumbered for years to come. Of the estimated 91 million drivers in this country, 57 million are men and 34 million are women. Photograph traffic violators? To hear self-appointed traffic safety experts tell it, police are overlooking a good opportunity to catch a lot of dangerous violators by not mounting cameras on the dashboards of patrol cars and photographing violators through the windshields. It's been tried. But laws require police to establish the identity of the driver, not just the identification of the car by photographing the license plate. The intent of the laws is to prevent the owners of stolen cars from being blamed for violations by the thieves. One company manufactured a camera which an officer in the patrol car aimed at the violator as a second officer got him out of his car. The only difficulty was high rental cost --$40 per camera. So, the North Carolina Highway Patrol, which was the first and, apparently, the only police organization to use the camera, hasn't used it very extensively. Authorities in Australia and Belgium, where cameras are used to trap violators, issue tickets to the owners of cars, whether they are driving or not. Apparently authorities in those two countries are content to let the owners collect the fines from drivers in those cases where the owner wasn't driving. In Australia, a rubber contact switch nestles between the double white lines on^curves. When a car edges over the lines, the wheels press the switch and start the motor of a camera on a nearby utility pole. The violation and license number are recorded on film. Later, the person to whom the car is registered receives a cordial communication from the court informing him that his vehicle violated Traffic Ordinance "X" and inviting him to remit two pounds, three shillings, and tupence to the Exchanger. If the vehicle owner fails to respond to the invitation, he loses his license. Such action might enrage some Americans who feel that it was unjust for the owner of a car to bear the consequences of violations committed by others. EDDIE the EDUCATOR says EARNING POWER .iorner LEAD CITIZEN'S GROUP Walter , R. Youngberg has been chosen to lead the McHenry County Citizens for Percy. Mr. Youngberg, a resident of the Woodstock countryside, is a member of the Dorr Township board of auditors and is president of the Kishwaukee Valley Improvement association. The Citizens for Percy will work in close cooperation with McHenry County Republican Central Committee Chairman J. R. Levesque in supporting the complete Republican ticket. At their meeting, Chairman Youngberg made several key appointments. One of the most important was the selection of Mrs. Molly Bickford of Crystal Lake as McHenry county woman's chairman for the Citizes for Percy. She can be reached at 459-4045. Local headquarters chairmen include: Sam Schmunk, McHenry, (385-2021). All headquarters chairmen are requiring volunteers to help operate the headquarters offices. Other headquarter sites and chairmen will be named in the very near future. s education Education Is an investment.
