Hospitality Day Tour House I AMES K. GREEN HOME On a section of farmland east of Woodstock stands the lovely grey shuttered, white stone and wood, Cape Cod home of At­ torney and Mrs. James R. Green. It will be shown to the public on Hospitality day, benefitting Memorial hospital, Woodstock. Built in 1932 it was designed by the late Jerome Cerny, well known Illinois architect who went on to international fame as the designer of the famous Henry Ford II home in the islands. Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Schuett, Sr., the original owners, were spurred to tap Mr. Cerny's talents after having viewed what they felt was a most gracious farm home on the cover of the Farm Journal magazine. When the time came for the Greens to enlarge the existing house to accommodate their growing family, Mr. Cerny's abilities were again challenged, following the lead of the original owners. In viewing the recently completed addition, Holiday Hospitality day visitors will be taken by the beautiful brick terrace and garden visible from all parts of the house. The bright blues, nature's greens and sunny and subtle yellows of the interiors seem to be in perfect harmony with the feeling of the outside coming in. As the visitor strolls from room to room the thought oc­ curs that each item adjusts perfectly to its surroundings. Several pieces in this home tell a tale or two. Noteworthy is the needlepoint covered rocker in the master bedroom. This comes from Sister Madeleva, former president of St. Mary's College of Notre Dame. It graced her office at the college and was given to Mrs. Green's mother. An original Bentwood rocker in the library was acquired from an old farm in Wisconsin by Mrs. Green's father. The family room which was the original garage is the last stop. It is a perfect background with its antique green panelling, a Franklin stove in the bricked corner and soft cream carpet for holding the supplies of the Christmas house and its saleable "season of spirit" treasures created by the women of the auxiliary. Leaving this home and walking the drive lined with apple trees gives one the im­ pression of having experienced the epitome of comfort, style and charm and the desire to be invited again. The Green home is one of three offered for viewing on Wednesday, Oct. 3, Holiday Hospitality day, by the Woman's auxiliary of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, with all proceeds going to the hospital building and equipment fund. Any car salesman will tell you his new car will last a lifetime. And, sad to say, it often does--then come the funeral bills. The best way found yet to dry Wife's tears is to throw in the sponge. Census Survey In Immunization Against Diseases The Bureau of the Census will survey a sample of households in this area the week of Sept. 17- 21 asking about immunization against selected diseases, Forrest P. Cawley, Jr., director of the Bureau's Data Collection center in Chicago, has an­ nounced. The immunization survey, conducted nationally every year, provides data on im­ munization against influenza, smallpox, pOlio, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles and mumpsf The survey this year will also gather information about chickenpox, diabetes, and certain chronic lung and heart conditions. Results of the survey provide information needed for administration of health programs geared to disease prevention. The health questions are in addition to the usual ones asked in the monthly survey on employment and unem­ ployment conducted nation­ wide by the Bureau for the U.S. Department of Labor. Divers of ancient times often carried their mouths full of oil-- which they released gradually whenever roughness of water made their work difficult, as they had learned that a surface oil-slick quiets the waves. Tips For Use ; Of Sunglasses For a good many people, sunglasses are no longer just a seasonal or specialty item, to be worn on bright summer days, or for certain activities. Available in an endless choice of shapes, sizes and colors, they are becoming a year 'round fashion accessory, and only secondly a means of protecting one's eyes against excess sunlight and glare. Yet, this seeming lack of concern for the protection factor can actually cause eye strain and fatigue, according to the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Sunglasses should protect the eyes against bright sunlight and reflected glare, without distorting objects and only minimally distorting colors. Cheaply-made, poor quality ones, with flawed, distorted lenses, and without adequate light-absorptive power simply cannot fill the bill. The result - tearing, squinting, blinking and an inability to'see clearly -- can be very uncomfortable. And despite what they may do to enhance your outfit -- rainbow hues of pink, rose, orange, yellow, blue, and purple are poor choices, too. Instead, lenses should be gray, green or brown. Gray, the best choice, enables the most natural colors, with the least amount of change. (It is also the most difficult tint to produce and. for that reason, probably good assurance that you're getting better quality glasses.) Next best are green lenses, the most soothing; followed by brown, which gives the best object definition and haze penetration. Lenses should be shatter- resistant and of optical quality (either ground ophthalmic glass or high-quality plastic), both of which can be had in a piano version, or with your eyeglass prescription. Such lenses also have an important absorptive quality, to block harmful (and invisible) ultra violet and infrared rays -- something that "cheaper" lenses often cannot do. The amount of light that can be transmitted through the lends is another consideration. Thirty percent is about the upper limit. If it is anymore, your sunglasses aren't acting as much more than a dust shield. On the other hand, if you spend a lot of time at the beach or sailing, or anywhere else where glare is extreme, extra dark lenses allowing only 10 to 15 percent light transmission can be useful. So, armed with all these points about good quality - how can you be sure of what you're buying?

Hold them at half an arm's length, focus on an object with strong vertical and horizontal lines (such as a door or window frame), and move glasses up, down and sideways. If the lines waver, it's a sign of distortion in the lenses. (This is only for piano lenses ~ not prescription ones, where some distortion may be built into the lenses for corrective purposes.) Be sure, too, that the lenses are of equal color and density, as badly matched ones can affect depth perception. However, the light tran­ smission factor has nothing to do with price. Inexpensive sunglasses may be okay, some very expensive ones not so. Usually a tag on the glasses or in the case will indicate they have the proper transmission capability. There's no federal regulation for this - but reliable manufacturers don't market glasses that don't protect against harmful rays.

TOC)Q/'S Health Nen/s Published by the American Medical Association Some dieters paste a gallery of . fat photos to their refrigerator door. Others put food servings on i smaller dishes. These are a few | of the phychological tricks the more successful dieters have used \ to resist high calorie intruders, i "Think of them as 'poison foods," says Theordore Issac Ru­ bin, M.D., once an overweight psy- j chiatrist by some 60 pounds. "I got into the habit of visualizing a skull and cross bones painted I over any high-calorie dish." Dr. Rubin's victory inspired him j to write a bestseller, "The Thin Book by a Formerly Fat Psychia­ trist." j One svelte ex-member of Over- j eaters Anonymous, a weight-re­ ducing club, believes your mental attitude is the key to weight loss. "If your target is a weight loss of 25 pounds, for example, don't ex­ pect to lose it all in a month or two," she says. "Remember, it took years to accumulate all that avoirdupois. Realistically you should settle for a loss of one-half pound a week, and you'll make it within a year. "I did," she affirms. Manhattan psychologist Stephen Zaslow, Ph.D., suggests spreading the word of your diet to friends, relatives, and neighbors. Their unsolicited "I told you so's" will fire your determination." Before starting any diet rou­ tine, the diet experts suggest con­ sulting a physician first. He or she can determine your correct weight loss according to your age, sex, height, frame, and occupation. Your doctor would also be fa­ miliar with any cardiac condition, high blood pressure, gout, kidney disease, or high cholesterol that would need consideration. Be­ sides, facing office scales periodic­ ally is an added incentive Before the visit to the doctor, jotting down your food likes and dislikes might help the physician tailor the diet to your needs. You might also ask for ways to boost your willpower. After-dinner hours are often the fall down time for dieters One annonymous dieter overcame them by brushing his teeth for at least 10 minutes with an electric brush and a water-pressure ap­ pliance. "The thought of having to repeat the whole dull process before I go to bed makes me keep my mouth shut," he says. Off beaf Maybe a little. But it works. WANT MORE INFORMATION' Writ» Today's Htalth Mayazin* CF, 535 North D®orborp Str»«t Chicago, Illinois 60610 khtiwitr ±/THl Vtealfier From The Farm Do mountains have any­ thing to do with rainfall ' ' What role do they play in controlling precipitation in the United States? Mountains have a definite effect on cloud movement and rainfall . In the United States the really high moun­ tains near the West Coast are a major influence on the weather. In this case they block moist, maritime air, or drain the moisture out of i t as it moves east causing the dry regions in the western areas. The United States is fa­ vored with four sources of maritime air which brings rain and produces neces­ sary vegetation. From the Pacific, air masses move in from the northwest and southwest. In the Atlantic, air masses enter from the northeast and southeast. Only from the polar re­ gions, via Canada, and from Mexico (in summer) do we get dry air masses over the United States. THE SUCCESS FAMILY The father of the Success family is work. The Mother is ambition. The oldest son is Common Sense. Some of the other boys in the Success family are Honesty, En­ thusiasm and Cooperation. The oldest daughter in the Success family is character. Her sisters are Cheerfulness, Loyalty, and Courtesy. The baby's name is Opportunity. They say that if you get acquainted with the "old man", you will soon get to know the other members of the Success family and get along with them real well. CONTROL CRICKETS If you notice an abundance of crickets around your home, apply a one-percent chlordane spray to run-off around the foundation of the house. This spray can be prepared by mixing one cup of 45 percent chlordane with three gallons of water. Be sure to spray behind steps, along sidewalks and in cracks. A chlordane spray will also keep water bugs, ants and millipedes out of your house. SPECIAL OFFERING BUYERS SAMPLfS 25% - 50% OF REGULAR PRICES 1HURS - FRI - SAT AU.
