A truck will be parked at the McHenry Market Place on Illinois Route 120 and a crew will be ready to start loading from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is felt that McHenry citizens are willing to cooperate and thereby spell oi% some basic "Don't and Do's" to help in recycling preparation: PAPER - Do tie newspapers securely into stacks B-10 inches high; do be sure to remove all plastic bags; don't bring wet paper. GLASS - Do wash bottles out; do remove all metal and plastic (this includes the narrow metal rims that often remain on wine bottle necks and the plastic corks and "jackets" that come on some bottles); don't pre-crush your glass. CANS -- Includes all types -- steel, tin and aluminum beverage; do clean cans; do remove paper labels; do remove both ends and flatten (note that for beverage cans, ends cannot be removed however they too must be flattened. This is easily ac complished through the use of a sledge hammer or the heel of your foot.) It should bfc^alized that it is an impossible joBTfcr the crew to do these things (the day of collection and because the commercial receivers will reject the entire load if not correctly handled, therefore it will be necessary for items to be refused unless properly prepared by the individual bringing them.

Pat H. Coil The week of July 25-31 has been proclaimed as National Farm Safety week by President Gerald R. Ford, under the banner, "Planning Prevents Accidents." In keeping with the President's concern for the safety of rural people. Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz said the department is renewing its year-round program of education and information on farm and home safety. "Farm Safety week this year gives jjs an* excellent op portunity to point out ways of eliminating safety hazards by pre-planning for safer prac tices on each individual farm," Jim Lucas, county executive director, McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service, said. It is important that all farm workers assist in this effort, Mr. Lucas added. This is the thirty-second consecutive observance of the annual national safety event, ^co-sponsored by the National Safety Council and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). It is designed as a way to initiate and promote safety * on America's farms and ran ches. Begun during World War II, Farm Safety week opened an attack on rural accidents that cut into crucial agricultural production and spearheaded a concerted effort in American farm communities to reduce accidents and resultant losses, injury and death. "The ac cident prevention fight has continued over two diecades," Mr. Lucas said. "And safety emphasis is no less important in today's critical economy than it was in the days of the war." Each year, too many farm workers are killed or seriously injured in preventable ac cidents, Lucas said. Planning in advance for a safe farm environment can help save the lives and health of these workers. Accidents in 1974 claimed the lives of more than 5,500 farm residents and causes more than 500,000 disabling injuries with more than half of the deaths occurring in motor vehicle accidents, according to the National Safety Council. About one-foi&th of the deaths and more than 150,000 disabling injuries were caused by farm work accidents. "Because of these statistics, USDA and the Rational Safety council have placed its accident prevention emphasis for 1975 on planning against accidents." Lucas said that farm and home safety will be emphasized at every opportunity during National Farm Safety week and throughout the year.
