• uniML/LnLL iv- wcuint;5DAY, JUNE 27, 197J More Stringent Rules Await School Drivers New, more stringent regulations for school bus drivers are being prepared for filing with the Illinois Secretary of State, according to Superintendent of Public In­ struction Michael J. Bakalis. Improved regulations became essential when a recent check Of 16,000 school bus drivers' records showed that more than 1,000 permit holders had bad driving records. The new regulations stress constant cooperation between the state education office and the office of the Secretary of State to maintain checks on school bus driver records. Previously, communication between the two offices was infrequent, and persons who had their drivers' licenses revoked by the Secretary of State often retained their school bus drivers' permits issued by OSPI. The new procedures require that all school bus drivers' records be examined for in­ fractions each month by the Secretary of State. Applicants must have at least three years' driving experience and have held a valid driver's license for the three consecutive years immediately preceding their application. They must have no convictions for reckless driving, driving while in­ toxicated, or manslaughter or reckless homicide while operating a motor vehicle during those three years. Applicants must not have been convicted of more than two moving violations or have been involved in more than one chargeable accident during the two years immediately preceding the application. A record of bad driving habits, disrespect for traffic laws, or dis-regard of others' safety on the highway will prevent issuance of a permit. Weekly reports from the Secretary of State's office on violations committed by school bus drivers will keep the education office informed of drivers' status. These reports will aid OSPI in determining suspensions, concellations, or revocations of permits. When an individual no longer qualifies for a driver's license according to the Illinois Vehicle code, his school bus driver permit will be cancelled, suspended or revoked. The permit can be reissued when the individual's driving privileges are reinstated by the Secretary of State, unless the license was revoked for driving while intoxicated, or if his past driving record reveals repeated involvement in collisions or repeated moving violations. As in the past, OSPI will continue to revoke school bus drivers' permits immediately upon conviction of reckless driving. Drivers whose records show repeated minor offenses will be allowed to keep their school bus drivers' permits if they enroll in a Defensive Driving course. According to the new regulations, school bus drivers' permits must be renewed every year on the driver's birthday. The regulations continue to require drivers to pass written and driving tests, hold a valid 7J lie KJoittf. Clittle The answer to Herman's acute problem should be of vital interest not only to smokers and drinkers, but also to all those who are overweight. So scrapbook this case. Or mail it to your relatives who are in the same boat with Herman. And send for the medical booklet below, which offers many additional suggestions. By - George W: Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE M-550: Herman G., aged 42, has scared his wife. "Dr. Crane," she began, "my husband went to the doctor for a complete physical examination last week. "And the physician told Herman that his blood pressure was well over 200, so he must start using drugs to try to pull it down. "But the doctor also warned him to stop his/cigarettes before he has a cormrary attack or a stroke of apoplexy. W "But Herman has tried tb do that several times the past few years, yet he never has been able to quit tobacco. first-aid certificate, be in good physical condition, be of good character, and refrain from smoking and using intoxicating beverages while transporting pupils. Illinois school districts employ nearly 16,000 bus drivers to transport one million children daily. 1 "So what is the best way to break a bad habit?" HABIT BREAKERS The very best way to free yourself from slavery to bad habits, including the use of cigarettes, is to follow this plan: (1) Make a public declaration to quit! Then your pride will help reinforce your resolution at a later date when you begin to grow weak. (2) Stay away from temp­ tation! This means, keep cigarettes out of your house or office. Same goes for liquor or food knickknacks if you are dieting. (3) Channel much of the former muscular pattern in­ volved in your bad habit, into another more constructive outlet. Actually, your cigarette "hunger" is not due primarily to your craving for nicotine or the inhaled burning tars, but to a desire to rid yourself of pent- up tensions via the waving of your hand and arm. For muscular action dissipates the nervous "pressure" generated in your brain. You cigarette addicts thus might carry a package of candy-coated chewing gum and in the same pocket! When your arm then cries out to be used in the familiar pattern of smoking, reach for that package of gum. Then shake out a piece, for this gets your arm involved in the old action and thus partially satisfies that "muscle hunger" which prods the cigarette slave. Moreover, the act of chewing gum also drains off some nervous tension via the muscles of the tongue and jaw. Which is also why tense school kiddies relish chewing gum! Obviously, the muscles of the jaw are not as large as those of the arm, so they don't reduce a smoker's tension as fast. But he can chew gum for 30 minutes whereas he would not wave his arm but 5 minutes while smoking the cigarette. (4) Take 10 deep breaths when you feel the urge to smoke. This will be good for your lungs and also involve the chest muscles, plus the diaphragm, thereby draining off nervous energy. (5) Place some candy jelly beans across the room and when you feel the cigarette RETAIN THIS WORK SHEET DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY OFFICE OF REVENUE SHARING 1900 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. N.W. WASHINGTON.

The rationale behind this "jelly bean" strategy lies in the fact that the act of smoking stimulates the digestive process. So smokers may have periodically prodded their pancreas into the habit of releasing more insulin. The jelly bean will neutralize the latter. And the act of walking across the room will drain off more energy because of the large leg muscles involved, than a similar period spent waving your arm with a cigarette between your fingers.

From The Farm GRAIN DRYING Air pollution regulations adopted in April of 1972 require a construction permit for all new grain drying and handling equipment, says H.J. Hirning, U. of I. Extension ag. engineer. If the grain handling system and dryer discharge any particulate matter-bugs, chaff and dust--to the atmosphere, they are considered a potential source of pollution and a construction permit must be obtained before installation begins. A construction permit is required to install a new dryer, remodel or replace an existing dryer and, in some cases, may be required for installation of new conveying equipment. If you are in doubt as to whether a construction permit is required, contact the En­ vironmental Protection Agency Air Pollution Control Section, 2200 Churchill road, Springfield, Illinois 62706. Presently the need for an operating permit on grain drying equipment is not clear. The Pollution Control board is expected to act by mid-June on requests to postpone en­ forcement of operating permit regulations until Sept. l, 1974. This would still allow time to process permit applications before this fall's harvest, even though present regulations require an operating permit for use of grain drying equipment after Sept. 1, 1973. APPLE SCAB Apple scab, is the most im­ portant disease of apple and SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS - Recipients of the nurse scholarships from the auxiliary to Memorial Hospital for McHenry County are shown with Mrs. Arlene Hosick, R.N., director of nursing services.

DON PEASLEY PHOTO crab apple. Closely related fungi cause scab on pear, hawthorn, firethorn, loquat, mountain-ash, Christ- masberry, and quince. Scab may cause severe loss of fruit by lowering yield and quality. It may also cause severe defoliation, thus greatly weakening the tree. While an adequate spray program gives almost complete control, im­ proper spraying may have little or no effect. Once started, an apple scab epiphytotic is almost impossible to stop. The first scab infections usually appear on the un­ dersides of the flower bud leaves as light brown to dark olive-green, irregularly shaped lesions. As infection progresses, the lesions become more regular and defined, while taking on a velvety, olive- green appearance. Finally the spots turn dark brown to black. If infection is severe, leaves are dwarfed, curled, and scorched at the margins followed by early defoliation Apple scab is primarily controlled by thorough ap­ plications of fungicide sprayed at 7 to 10-day intervals. Make the first application when the new leaves first appear and continue until you are sure you have scab under control. Normally it is not necessary to spray after July 1 to control scab. Use one of the following fungicides or mixtures, carrying out the manufac­ turer's directions: Captan 50 percent WP (l/t cup to 5 gallons of water, 1 pound to 100 gallons) or Dodine 65 W O/2 level tablespoon to 5 gallons, V4 pound to 100 gallons) plus zineb 75 percent WP (V4 cup to 5 gallons, 1 pound to 100 gallons) or ferbam 76 percent WP (V2 cup to 5 gallons, 1 pound to 100 gallons). Dikar (Vfe cup to 5 gallons of water, 2 pounds to 100 gallons). You can combine any of these fungicides with the proper insecticides or miticides when it is necessary to control these pests. CEDAR APPLE RUST Cedar apple rust is caused by a fungus. It is one of our most common and destructive apple diseases and one of the easiest to identify and control. Rust occurs on apple leaves and fruits and occasionally infects twig growth. On the leaves small pale yellow spots numbering 1 to 100 per leaf appear on the upper surface.

The disease then becomes evident on the underside of the leaf. Later disease tissue on the under-surface thickens. "As the infected areas develop, the leaf may turn yellow and fall or it may remain on the tree until normal leaf fall. Cedar apple rust is fairly easy to control on apple. It seems to attack some varieties more than others. All or­ namental crab apples are highly susceptible. Either ferbam or zineb ap­ plied at 1 to 2 pounds to 100 gallons of water or 1 to 2 tablespoons to 1 gallon of water, or formulations con­ taining these chemicals, are very effective when sprayed on apples. Such sprays will give excellent control when applied four times 7 to 10 days apart, starting with the first spray at the pink bud to early-bloom period.
