SECTION I - PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1975 Ask More Funding For Solar Energy Program The signatures of 230 nor­ thern Illinois residents who favor increased funding for development of solar energy will be sent to President Gerald Ford and Governor Dan Walker. These signatures were gathered at the McHenry County Defenders' Energy Fair held at the McHenry county fair grounds. Approximately twenty in­ dustries, research facilites and individuals demonstrated Ways that renewable energy sources such as the sun and wind can be harnessed to produce energy. Also stressed in several displays was the conservation of energy. The sun cooperated nicely by shining most of the day and fair-goers had an opportunity to see solar cells actually tran­ slating the sun's rays into electricity which powered a radio. Viewers could "turn off" the radio by covering the cells with their hands. . Inside, the model of an ^existing solar home ri&ar Eureka, 111., and the models ^showing how the sun's heat can 3iry grain on the farm attracted much attention. Prof. Gene Shove from the University of Illinois explained that a solar installation is being con­ structed on the McBride farm near Harvard at the present time. Over 2,300 people attended the fair from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. During the day bus loads of students from Marengo, Harvard, Union, McHenry, Woodstock, Johnsburg, Rich- A-l HEARING AID Free LoLnmf -SjLnplete Service on ell Makes Custom Earmolds -30Dty Triar on New Aids Try Before You Buy!

During the afternoon and evening visitors came from Waukegan, Rockford, southern Wisconsin and several Chicago suburbs as well as from McHenry County. Anne Carroll, Energy fair chairman, stated that the Defenders were extremely happy with the response to the Fair. "We were especially pleased with the enthusiasm fair visitors showed for solar energy", she continued. "Many people told us of their plans to use solar collectors to partially heat their homes or their hot water." "The day of' a solar collector on every roof and a windmill in every yard' is not right around the corner", Mrs. Carroll emphasized. "But we hope that those who studied the exhibits realize that energy from the sun is being collected right now. Hardware is available and is constantly being improved for harnessing this infinite energy source". "What is needed is more funding. Currently only about 1 percent of federal energy funds is budgeted for solar research and another 1 percent for conservation. We plan to send these petitions to Washington and to Springfield. We want to call attention to the fact that the public supports greater funding for conservation and solar research and develop­ ment," Mrs. Carroll concluded. Anyone interested in more details on any of the exhibits or in obtaining literature on the subjects covered may contact Mrs. Wm. Carroll, Jr., Woodstock If you don't have storm windows and doors, think about investing in them now, before the very cold winter weather hits. They help reduce fuel bills by up to 15 percent - enough to cover the cost in only a few years. illllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIItllllllimmillllll Your. Health IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH (From the Illinois State Medical Society) Americans are most in­ terested in their health but find it hard to get a handle on. When they have it they take it for granted. However, with the increased knowledge about health problems people are beginning to realize they must accept the responsibility for their own health. How closely are health problems related to personal problems? If ner­ vousness is one of today's greatest health problems who«> is responsible for its cause, care and cure? Who is responsbile for the poor health of the individual who has had poor dietary habits, who has eaten, exercised or rested too little, who has smoked, drank alcohol or taken drugs too much? If there is a relationship between lifestyle and health what can be done? Illinois leaders representing medicine, education and the community met together at the "Confluence for Health" held recently in Chicago to help find the most practical ways to improve the national health status. The conference, sponsored by the Illinois State Medical society and auxiliary, recognized that health is closely related to the patterns of living learned throughout life which are largely determined by what you know, your at­ titudes, your values and your, behavior. There is an urgent need for greater understanding of health and a willingness to alter habits on the part of the consumer. The individual consumer, with the proper education for health, can take the initiative in his own per­ sonal health by utilizing the services available and taking the necessary personal steps for success. The time is now for health education. Comprehensive school health education is developing, patient education is receiving more attention, and community health education is growing. Dr. Joseph Skom, Chicago, president-elect, Illinois State Medical society, told the conference about the many programs the society has to inform the public and to motivate them to improve their quality of life. For more than ten years 'Dr. Sims' has been the familiar symbol associated with the ISMS health education activities, through radio and Introduce Contest To Name '76 State Fair Super Fair '75 is now history and Illinois State Fair officials are searching for a name (and theme) for the 1976 exposition. Fair Director Paul King has announced that a "Name the Fair" contest would be used to find a name for the '76 fair. King noted that this sum­ mer's fair would concide with the Bicentennial but that the fair theme would not necessarily be related to the nation's birthday celebration. The State Fair name is used in advertising and promotion of the fair and its featured programs. For example, features of "Super Fair '75" were the "Super Fantasy Parade", and "Super Livestock Revue" and "Super Sale Auction". Another recent Illinois State Fair theme was "Fun and Fantasy". The person providing the winning theme idea will be an honored quest of the '76 fair. His or her prizes will include a plaque to be presented during ceremonies at the opening grandstand show, two season passes to the fairgrounds, free season parking at the Springfield fairgrounds and two reviewing stand tickets for each of the fair's grandstand shows. Contest entries should be submitted on a single sheet of paper, with the suggested fair name at the top, followed by an explanation (50 words or less) of why that them idea would be best. All entries must be received by Dec. 5, 1975, and mailed to "Name the Fair Contest", Illinois State Fair, P.O.Box 576, Springfield, 111., 62705. POLAROID® VALUES | ̂ Super Shooter.

Pleasing you. I T V., Illinois high school and junior high school columns that reach thousands of students, exhibits at fairs, newsletters, awards programs for medical writers of newspapers and magazines, etc. To be most effective in the schools, health education should be a well delineated and carefully organized program, with proper attention to the sequence and scope of in­ struction throughout the student's school years. It should not be scattered segments that occasionally focus on crisis topics as drug abuse, V.D., etc. These topics should be given appropriate attention in the overall health education curriculum. For the student to grow into a healthy and mature individual he needs a program that has the proper concern for all aspects of personal, family and com­ munity health. The process should help the student develop desirable values for living and aid him in making the best choices from the integrated educational system to utilize available resources more fully. A panel of representatives from five universities that offer professional preparation for teaching health education expressed the desire to work cooperatively in meeting the health needs of communities and school age children in the state. All citizens are urged to promote health education in the schools of Illinois through the implementation of the Critical Health Problems and Com­ prehensive Health Education act that was passed by the 77th Illinois General Assembly and signed into law Aug. 31, 1971. Dr. Wallace Ann Wesley, Hs.D., director, Department of Health Education, AMA, and M a r c y S c h w a b e n b a u e r , coordinator of the Values Associates, Chicago, conducted • a valuing workshop that gave the conference participants the experience of recognizing how their behavior is influenced by their knowledge, attitudes and practices. Everyone should remember that by the very role society has you in, you are a health educator; your behavior patterns are copied by those you are in contact with. The challenge for the public is to accept and promote health education which is essential for all community health services and is basic to every health program. Through cooperative action of health care providers, educational systems and community-consumer citizens we can promote physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. The conference closed with a Bicentennial thought that "the LAKE REGION YHCA * t M ACQUIRE NEW PROJECTOR-Lake Region Y's Men club president, Jack Renskers, center, presents to Lake Region YMCA's executive director, Jim Zoellick, left, and Phil Baaske, physical director, a new Bell and Howell 16mm sound projector.

Live Stock Exposition Will Open Thanksgiving "Live Stock Expo '75", the seventy-sixth International Live Stock exposition, will open its doors Nov. 27 and continue through Dec. 2 in the In­ ternational amphitheatre in Chicago. It is an all-new In­ ternational designed to blend farm and city. Among the exciting new attractions at the show this year are daily performances of the International Horse show with over 400 of the country's top saddle horses in com­ petition, plus a daily program of the top country and western entertainment. One of the attractions of the "New International" will be the Hayloft gallery which will feature art done by school children from throughout the state of Illinois. There will also be barbershop quartets, Sweet Adelines, an antique car show, and square dancers to provide colorful entertainment. The Bicentennial aspect of the International will feature exhibits commemorating 200 years of American agriculture with displays of antique farm machinery, tools, crafts, collected from museums and historical societies from throughout the United States. strength of America will continue to depend on the health of her people." There will also be a display of farm machinery in the "Big Farmer" showcase of new farm products. This display will feature the latest in technology and agriculture and will be an important part of the seventy-sixth International Live Stock show. More than thirty world consuls will display at the "Fete Internationale". Their exhibits will feature agricultural displays from around the world, colorful national costumes, and lend to the scene of the show. Of course the main attraction of the International, as usual, will be 4,000 head of prize livestock which will compete for $85,000 in premiums and awards.

Bill Abbink, assistant chief of the squad, explained the procedures. Vi is a member of the Ladies auxiliary and Bill a member of the post. The Ladies auxiliary presented a check to show their appreciation for the demonstration. Fall Weed Control In Forage Legumes "Put it on~don't put it off." That's the motto for forage legume weed control, says George Young, University of Illinois Extension Adviser. Excellent fall weather has been good for harvesting and getting a head start on tillage for next year's crops. But is has also been good for helping winter annual weeds get started. So Young recommends that you not wait until spring when it may be too late and then, ask, "What can I do now?" Winter annual weeds such as chickweed, henbit, and downy bromegrass are easier to control in the Fallthan in the Spring.The herbicide to use depends upon the age and composition of your stand as well as the weeds to be con­ trolled, says Young. Princep can be used only on pure established alfalfa. Kerb, Furloe and Premerge can be used on newly seeded as well as established stands and also on certain clovers and trefoil. Kerb or Furloe should not be used on grass-legume mixed stands as the grass will likely be injured or killed. Here are Young's recom­ mendations for weed control chemicals that can be used now: ' Princep (simazine) can be used on pure alfalfa stands established over 12 months. Apply after the last cutting in the fall, but before the ground is permanently frozen. The rate is 1 to 1M» pounds per acre depending upon soil type. Do not apply to sands or loamy sands. Princep should control chickweed, downy brome, henbit and winter annual mustards. Allow 30 days after application before grazing or 60 days before cutting for hay.

Newly seeded stands should be past the first trifoliate state. It will control most annual grass and broadleaf weeds as well as give some control of quackgrass. The rate is 1 to 3 pounds Kerb 50W per acre depending upon weed species and soil. Do not harvest within 90 days after applying 3 pounds per acre or within 60 days after applying less than 3 pounds per acre. Do not apply to gr&ss- legume mixed stands. Fuloe Chloro IPC (chlorpropham) can be ap­ plied to pure stands of late summer »seeded or established alfalfa, red clover, ladino clover and trefoil. Newly seeded stknds should have at least three leaves. In alfalfa, ap­ plication for control of chick- weed and downy brome may be made from October through January using 1 to 2 quarts of Fuloe 4EC per acre. Use 2 to 3 quarts on colvers. After February 1, use 2 to 3 quarts on alfalfa. Do not harvest within 40 days of application. Do not apply to grass-legume mixed stands. Premerge (dinoseb) can be used to control chickweed in alfalfa, ladino clover, red clover and birdsfoot trefoil. Apply 1 to V/2 quarts in 30 gallons of water per acre in early fall when chickweed is small. If chickweed becomes w e l l d e v e l o p e d , d e l a y a p ­ plication until legumes are dormant and use 2 to 4 quarts of Premerge in 40 to 60 gallons of water per acre. Spray when temperature is above 50 degrees F (preferably above 60 degrees F.). Do not graze treated areas before first cutting of hay.
