How Can I? by Anne Ashley Q. How can I care for leather upholstery to prevent its dry­ ing out and cracking? A. By rubbing it occasion­ ally (once or twice a year) with castor oil, neat's-foot oil, or a leather conditioner. On light-colored leathers, use a white conditioner or white pe­ troleum jelly, since most oils tend to darken leather. After rubbing the oil well in with the fingertips or a soft cloth, wipe off every trace with another cloth. If using neat's-foot oil, remember that, while this fs an excellent leather condition­ er, it leaves a dull, rather than glossy, finish. Q. How can I deal with candy stains on fabrics? A.

MILLION WELL SPENT The million dollars spent by the federal government in Ill­ inois to fight the third highest flood in state history has paid for itself many times over, Col. Donovan M. Vance, state di­ rector of Civil Defense, said. Floods caused more than $17,- 000,000 damage in Illinois in 1965. Col. \fence said the dam­ age this year is negligible. Trucks, -earth-moving equip­ ment and manpower were pro­ vided by the Department of Pub­ lic Works and Buildings. Hie Illinois National Guard supplied levee patrols and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracted levee building through private construction companies. Civil Defense and other volunteers filled sandbags.

GREEN PH. 385 - 5500 BEBtSHBTMAII ITT GRASS WATERWAYS NEED MOWING Grass waterways need a July maintenance mowing. Mowing waterways not only serves to maintain a dense sod covering but also allows them to carry away runoff water fas­ ter during heavy rainstorms. This is especially important in fields planted to corn or soybeans with exposed soil sur­ faces alongside the channel. Tall grass growth in the chan­ nel serves as a barrier to flow­ ing water, causing it to over­ flow on the bare soil outside the channel. Guides can form at overflow points, seriously damaging the field. A well- mowed channel permits witter to flow readily, eliminating the gullying danger. Before mowing, please check for wash-outs and breaks over tile lines. Locating these avoids danger of accidents and break­ age during_the mowing. Inspections also serve as a reminder to mark spots for re­ pair later in the summer be­ fore more damage occurs. SWINE DISEASE Disease can be your biggest swine profit enemy. An esti­ mated one-fourth to one-third of all pigs die before they reach market weight. Besides vac­ cinating according to recom­ mended programs and isolating newly purchased hogs, .main­ tain a complete sanitizing pro­ gram. Hose the farrowing house and pen floors with high pres­ sure water and approved san- itizers to maintain disease - and parasite-free growth con­ ditions.

MACHINES SEIZED Thousands of dollars worth of unlicensed coin-operated a- musement machines were seiz- ed in raids by agents of the Ill­ inois Department of Revenue. Revenue Director George E. Mahin said teams from the de­ partment's internal security and fraud investigation di­ vision, accompanied by uni­ formed state policemen, con­ fiscated the ̂ machines at lo­ cations in Chicago, Melrose Park, Cicero and Calumet City. "Investigation by my depart­ ment has revealed that less than half the coin-operated amusement machines in the state are state-licensed. At $10 a year for each machine, that's a lot of state money sitting in private pockets," Mahin said. SHOP IN McHENRY WED. JULY 16, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 3 WATCH FOR SIDEWALK SALE AD McH.
