At the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, a survey Research Laboratory has just been established to conduct surveys throughout the state. The survey has become an essenlial tool of investigation in the social sciences, and such a laboratory will serve to coordinate and facilitate the large number of social, economic research projects which currently use survey methods. There is presently a need for qualified persons to represent the University as part-time interviewers at specific sampling points in the state. Further information about Ihe Survey Research Laboratory and application forms can be obtained from.

Garpentier Secretary of State WINTER DRIVING HAZARD The true cause of many wintertime accidents is obscured vision. Failure to yield rightof- way, signal light and stop sign violations, improper lane usage . . . these and other driver errors are often the result of snow-covered windows or frosted windshields. Report "If you had cleaned the snow off your car this wouldn't have happened." We noticed a car today which was completely covered with snow, except for a tiny space on the windshield directly in front of the steering wheel. Traffic was tied up in all directions while the driver was trying to grope his way through the intersection. Farther down the street a car in the left lane suddenly cut over in front of us, thereby making it necessary for our driver to hit his brake hard and slide into the curb. Fortunately there was no damage; however, we noticed that the rear window of the other car was completely covered with snow. • Its driver obviously couldn't see if there was any traffic behind him, and he apparently didn't care. There is no excuse for endangering the lives and property of other persons on the road by driving when vision is obscured. One must take th§ time to clean the car windows, even if he is just going to .the corner drug store. Inexpensive plastic covers are available for windshields and badk windows. Use them! . . . or jBlse take the time to scrape be$i>re you drive. Set your copy of the NEW "Rnles of the Road" from your driver examination station, or write to Charles F. Carpentier, Secretary of State, Springfield. An intriguing proposal on the agefiria of the Congress is the so-called "Truth in Packaging" bill. This measure (S. 985), sponsored principally by Senator Philip A. Hart, Democrat of Michigan, is aimed primarily at protecting the American housewife by imposing rigid federal regulations - over the labeling and packagink of consumer good?. The Hart bill would (a) control sizes and shapes of packages, (b) specify permissible sizes of packages and limit size categories, (c) control illustrations on packages, (d> prohibit such descriptions as "giant economy size" and "5 Cents off regular price," (e) compel disclosure of ingredients and composition of products. The proposed Truth 'in Packaging law aime.l a! protecting consumers would apply to all packaged food, (bugs, cosmetics and many other consumer products. However, the American housewife, who is intended to he the chief bencficiary of this legislation, appears to be particularly wary of its provisionsfind impact. In the first place, it should be noted that false labels and misrepresentations on packages constitute violations of existing law.,.and subject offenders to severe penalties -- including confiscation of unlawful packages. Senator Hart's proposal is aimed at the confusion which may come from boastful statements on a package, or sizes, shapes or illustrations that may induce a purchase which otherwise might not be made. Manufacturers and marketing organizations, including retailers, abhor the prospect of regulation such as is threatened by the Hart bill. The standardization and stifling of initiative which would accompany enactment of this measure would seem also to Ihwart competition and marketing freedom -- two prime ingredients of our free enterprise system. A chicf opponent of the Truth in Packaging proposal is Rep. Catherine May, Republican of Washington, herself a housewife. Representative May declared recently, "Let's face it: The basis of this legislation can be summarized in a few words: It assumes the consumers' gullibility, the manufacturers' and retailers' culpability, and, fin* ally, the bureaucrats' infallibility!" At last report Senator Hart's Truth in Packaging bill was reported to be stalled in the Senate Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce where a tie .vote among' committee members was preventing the bill from progressing to the Senate floor. If the bills should pass the Senate, it will move thfcn to the House Judiciary Committed where this membei of Congress will have hn opportunity to consider it directly. SOME THAWED FOODS MAY BE FROZEN AGAIN When a frozen food thaws in youi^ home -- by accident or otherwise -- it is not always necessary to discard it: If the temperature of the food has not risen above ordinary refrigerator temperatures (40 degrees F.), you may consider refreezing it, provided "it has acceptable color, odor and texture. The process of refreezing it itself introduces no hazard. If fho partially thrawed food is safe to eat, it is safe to rer freeze. Here are facts about refreezing from research by-the USDA Agricultural Research Service and other agencies: A rise in a food's temperature up to thawing impairs color, flavor and texture, and the refcezing period causes further loss in quality. If the thawing time has been short enoygh, there may be enough quality left to justify refreezing. No health habard is involved if the temperature of the food has not risen above ordinary refrigerator temperatures. Food poisoning bacteria have never been found to grow at temperatures below 38 dgrees F. Other bacteria can grow slowly at these or even lower temperatures. They cause off-odors and off-flavors that spoil foods but do not cause food poisoning. How Can I ? by . Anne Ashley Q. How can I shrink colored cottons and linnens? A. Soak in cold water for several hours, then squeeze out the water, but don't wring the material. Hang on the clothesline, or if you have an automatic dryer, dry it in this machine with several dry Turkish towels that will buffer the fabric as it tunjble-dries. Buy non-shrunk cottons and linens with the foreknowledge that these materials will shrink anywhere from one to three inches per yard. Q. How can I strengthen glassware/ and make it less fragile? A. Put your glassware Into a. vessel filled with slightly salte<l water which you allow to come slowly to a boil: The slower, your boiling, the hardier your glassware. Q. How can I obliterate a scratch on wdlftut furniture? A."An old, but still effective, remedy is rubbing over the scratch with a freshly-shelled walnut kernel. Q. How can I make for easier and quicker lighting of birthday candles on a cake at the table? A. Try this: Light your candles about an hour beforehand and let burn for a few minutes. Then blow them out and pour three or four drops of lighter fluid over their wicks. Then later, a touch of flame, and they'll light instantly. Q. What, can I do when there is too much poiish 6n my furniture? A. Mix 14-cup of vinegar with li-cup of water, wring a soft cloth out in this mixture, then rub It over the furniture. Dry immediately with another soft cloth. Q. How can I boil an egg that is cracked? A. If you'll add, a little vinegar to your water, this will prevent the white of the egg from boiling out. Q. How can I take proper care of a chamois that has been used for cleaning windows or washing the car? A. Rinse the chamois out at least three times, shake well, and;hang up to dry. Pull and shake several times while it is drying, and this will keep it soft. A chgunois should dry slowly, and never in the sun. Q. How can I make a gelatin dessert quickly when time is at a premium? A. Mix the gelatin with only enough hot water to dissolve it, then use ice water for the remaining amount of liquid. The gelatin will set in just a few minutes. Add fruit if you wish, but be sure it is ice cold. Q. How can I make a good adhesive for sticking cut-out gold-paper letters or similar items to glass? A. You can improvise a good one by dissolving a few medical capsules in warm water -- just enough water to make a thick solution. Q. How can I remove a glass stopper that is tightly stuck in a bottle? A. Try putting a few drops of glycerin around the stopper and, letting stand for a few hours. The glycerin works d«.wn around the stopper and loosens it for easy removal.

CASELOAD FOR PUBLIC AID IN COUNTY GIVEN A reduction in the number of persons receiving Assistance to the Aged and Assistances to the Blind, and on increase in the number receiving Aid to Dependent Children and General Assistance were recorded during March by the Illinois Department of Public Aid. Harold O. Swank, director, said an over-all increase of 5,811 recipients • .brought the total caseload to 434.9X1 in March, compared to 429,170 in February. The casclo ul in March 1964 was 439, 1X4. An increase of $1 X62.225 in payments for medical care in' March was the main factor in raising the total expenditures to $27,384,444 from the February total of $24,819,274. The increased expenditures for- medical care in March were attributed, for the most part, to payments made to meet obligations incurred in prior months; the next month will show a decline in medical payments. The caseload for McHenry county was as follows: Total, all programs, 743, !?34,958; old age assistance, 167, $13,235; aid to dependent children, 241. $9,875; blind assistance, 2, $91; disability assistance 29, $1,538; general assistance, 297, $9,655.
