MC LAKEWOOD 4-H NEWS Our July 1 meeting was held in the cool comfort of the Christophers porch at which time we completed registration fprflas for our fair exhibits. During the meeting, Debbie Piper gave a demonstration on the heart's functions and Renee Thbresen gave a demonstration orf making a charcoal garden. Patty and Dave Christopher served lunch following the meeting. On July 12 and 13 we had our overnignt camp-out. Food never tasted so good as when cooked outdoors over an open cartipfire. Some who didn't stay overnight, got back early the next morning for the good breakfast. The program around the campfire included a "This Is Your Life" on President Patty Christopher who will be retiring from 4-H because of the age limit. The big surprise for Patty came at the end of her "Life" when a bucket of water was dumped over her - lucky it was a warm night. Another event of the campout was everyone participating in a treasure hunt. Everyone agreed it was a fun experience.

A.With a pre-w^sh soaking in a baking soda solution. Q. How can I mix my own furniture polish? A. By adding two tablespoons of olive oil and one tablespoon of vinegar to a quart of warm water. Keep this solution warm while using. It will wash off dirt and dust and leave a light oil treatment on the wood. Rub dry with a clean, soft clofh. Q. How can I remedy screws which continually work loose? A. Remove the screws and dip them into glue, then replace. They will then hold tight. Or, wind a few strands of steel wool around the threads. Q. What can I do about some plastic material which cannot be ironed? PAGE 9 - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY, AUGUST 3. 1973 A. Try this -- pass your iron over your ironing board cover until the cover is quite warm, then spread the plastic material over this, smoothing it over with you hands. This often has a surprising way of smoothing out wrinkles. Q. How can I make wood more durable and weather­ proof? A. Try covering it with several coats of hot linseed oil varnish. Q. How can I remove the discoloration left in a washbowl or basin by a dripping faucet? A. Apply a paste of cream of tartar and peroxide with a stiff brush. Plain vinegar sometimes works well, too. Q. How can I remove fruit stains from table linens? A. Moisten the spots with clear glycerin, then launder in the usual manner. Q. How can I speed up the drying of my nylon stockings after they have been washed? A. Try blowing through them as you would a balloon after blotting them with a towel. Q. How can 1 remedy a plastic table top which has lost some of its luster? A. Rub in some toothpaste to make it shine like new. Then will be no greasy oil finish, either. Or, cover with paste^ wax and buff. Q. How can I prevent leather^ covered furniture froi cracking? A. Polish it regularly with cream made of one pari vinegar and two parts linsee< oil. Q. How can I glaze bread or rolls? A. Go over the tops with the white of egg, lightly beaten. Apply with a cloth or soft brush before placing in the oven A small quantity of sugar may be added to the egg white, if a*, sweet flavor is desired. Q. How can 1 remove tea or coffee discolorations from the inside of plastic cups? A. These will usually respond to filling with water, adding some baking soda, and letting soak for a while. X? ard. They are enroute from "ilwaukee, Wis. to Arizona to make their home. This is Doris' brother, Darold. Darold's wife Lori joined them on Wednesday after spending a few d^ys witn her parents in northern Wisconsin. Dick and Jackie Crosby spent several days last week with their parents near Macomb. Their children, Michelle and Brian, went too of course. Patti and Lee Miller ac- compained the Lyle Stalkers and the Andy Boases to Eagle Cave, Wise, camping and square dancing last weekend. Several people from this area attended the Lake County fair last weekend. This week we will support our own 4-Hers at our own McHenry County fair Aug. 1,2,3,4, and 5. See you there. Walt and Doris Low spent Sunday evening at the Alby Adams home in Johnsburg along with others who were there for a sweet corn roast. Mable Thomas, Pam and Doris Low attended a personal Anderson Urges Compensation For Killings On Duty Congressman John B. An­ derson (R.-Ill.) Monday called fof passage of legislation that would provide payments of $50,000 to survivors of police officers and firemen killed in the line of duty. The tWo bills, which An­ derson introduced this year for a second tirhe, also would make ftti federal c^me to kill a police officer. The pleasure is now in the Judiciary committee. In remarks prepared for delivery Monday, night before the annual convention here of the Illinois Stat^ Sheriff's association, AndefVon noted that 120 firemen a^d 126 policemen were killed in the line of duty in 1971. The chairman of the House Republican conference said that an estimated 70 percent of the nation's local public safety personnel have insurance of less than $5,000, "and for this inadequate amount, most pay exorbitant premiums." "We owe a great debt to the dedicated professionals... who sacrifice so much for the public safety. If it is within our power to provide the peace of mind and security that comes from knowing one's family is financially secure, then I think we must do it," he added. Anderson, third-ranking House Republican, also en­ dorsed legislation that would compensate innocent Victims of crime who suffer serious financial losses as a result. Anderson alsoy expressed support for a Senate-passed bill, now before the House, which would provide man­ datory jail terms for persons convicted of committing a felony with a firearm. The terms, ranging from 5 to 15 years for a first offense, and 10 to 30 for a second, would be tacked onto any sentence prescribed for the crime itself. Anderson, who conceded that the new penalties, if enacted, would be severe, said they are needed because previous ef­ forts to control the proliferating distribution and use of firearms have been ineffective. "We are a just and tolerant society, but we have been pushed to where a fractional percentage of willful malefactors are literally tyrannizing the rest of us. It must be stopped," Anderson said. Our office is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 3 p.m. Please call if you are interested in adopting an animal or if you have lost or found one. We have a very long list of animals which I cannot possibly list, because it is so long. We really have something for everyone. No puppy is free of the urge to get into garbage pails and wastebaskets. He's enticed by food odors and by the pleasure of spreading papers and boxes, and tearing them up. For correction, you need half a dozen mousetraps. You set these in the pails and baskets. Set them unbaited under a sheet of paper. Mousetraps are too small to hurt puppies except those of the toy breeds-and these puppies are too small to get into such trouble. When the unbaited trap snaps and jumps, the puppy is startled at the noise. When puppy has set off the trap a couple of times, he won't go near, even when the trap is not set. After a week or so, you can be sure he'll never disturb either a wastebasket or a garbage pail again. Puppies are inclined to beg when the family is at meals. When he does, scold him and put him into his box. He'll learn very quickly that begging doesn't pay. If you give in to him once, you will have corrupted him forever. If you have some tidbits to give him, or a nice bone, don't do so until jifter the kitchen work has been done. It is sort of cute when little puppies climb all over you. But it doesn't stay cute very long. There are three easy ways to cure your puppy. The first consists of gently stepping on his hind toes while he had his front paws on you. The second is to grab his front paws and rush him backward until he falls over backward. The third method is to bend your knee and bump him in the chest. In each case, use a stern firm "NO!" R e m e m b e r , h a l f w a y measures don't work well with puppies. His mother would bite him sharply enough to make him howl if she were training him. One severe bump in the chest is worth 20 mild ones. BARKING: Nice dogs can be neighborhood nuisances if they bark too mich. You can prevent this by teaching another good habit-not to bark. This is done by setting up conditions under which you know the puppy will bark. Arrival of the mailman or milkman, clanking cars going by, or the neighbor's dog. If the puppy is in the house, bomb him with an empty tin can (one of the small frozen orange juice or frozen soup cans is ideal). If he is outdoors, turn the hose on him or throw larger cans at him. It isn't necessary to hit him. If the can comes near him, he'll get the idea. Always use a stern "NO!" as you correct him. If these "cures" sound severe, remember they may be the difference in having a dog or being forced to dispose of him. You don't want your dog barking at the mailman, since the bark comes before the bite. Neither do you want your dog disturbing the neighbors or chasing children.
