J CHRISTMAS SEAL FUND AT $126,000 (Continued From Page 1) provides the main support of the association's programs of public and ' professional education, patient services, and medical research. The breathing clubs which the association provided monthly for emphysema patients and their families at Memorial hospital in Woodstock will be resumed in March when the weather is better, he said. Bird, who is also DuPage- McHenry representative to the delegate assembly of the Illinois Lung association, reminds residents ' whose children in grades K through three have entered the nation­ wide Christmas Seal design contest, have until Jan. 7 to submit their entries to the Lung association at 216 S. Throop street in Woodstock. This year's Christmas Seals, designed by children in all fifty states, Guam, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, were so popular with residents that the American Lung association repeated the contest for the 1977 Christmas Seals.

By Mary Richards - The death of a child is always tragic and many parents never fully recover from the loss. The loss of a child through the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), commonly known as "crib death" or "cot death," is, in most cases, doubly tragic. It is doubly tragic, because most parents of infants #ho die of SIDS suffer severe guilt reactions. "What did I do wrong?" is their universal reaction. The truth of the matter is that these parents did nothing wrong, as SIDS is not preventable; it cannot be predicted; the cause is unknown; and there is no sound Of cry of distress...death usually occurs during sleep. An infant who dies of SIDS does not suffer, and death probably occurs within seconds. Most SIDS victims are bet­ ween three weeks and seven months of age, and, in the United States, approximately 10,000 babies die of SIDS each year. It is, in fact, the leading cause of death in infants after the first week of life. SIDS is at least as old as the Old Testament, and seems to have been at least as frequent in the 18th and 19th centuries as it is now. This indicates that new environmental agents, such as birth control pills, fluoride in the water supplies and smoking do not cause SIDS. Despite increased attention to this condition in recent years, the incidence of SIDS is not rising. Although no one knows what causes SIDS, studies show that suffocation, aspiration (inhaling foreign substances) or regurgitation (vomiting or spitting up) are not causes. Experts know that SIDS is not a "kiltlr virus" that threatens other members of the family. SIDS can occur in families of every race, religion and living circumstance, and to babies who have the best possible care. It has even been known to happen in hospitals to infants admitted for other problems such as minor surgery. The experience of putting a happy, healthy baby down for a nap, and then finding the child dead a half-hour or so later, is, understandably, a profound shock to the parents and other members of the fai§ily. Because there is no apparent cause or reason for SIDS, most bereaved parents experience feelings of guilt, anger, frustration and fear. These emotions are normal and un­ derstandable, and parents and families need support from those around them in coping with these feelings. Even if the child had been in the care of trained medical personnel, the death could not have been prevented Much research is'being conducted to determine the cause of this mysterious con­ dition. In the meantime, it is important that parents of SIDS victims be reassured that they were not at fault. To help achieve this goal, the Illinois Department of Public Health has not only initiated training programs designed to provide an understanding of SIDS, but is also assisting existing programs which have this same purpose. These programs are aimed at physicians, nurses, coroners, social workers, police officers, Why '75 Crops S&f Record The 1975 growing season approached the ideal in most parts of Illinois. And it produced a state average corn yield of 116 bushels per acre and a soybean average of 36 bushels per acre. Both the cqwi and soybean yields are records. And there have been only five other years during the last 45 when both corn and soybeans broke previous records, says W.O. Scott, University of Illinois Extension agronomist. Whv were corn and soybean yields better in 1975 than any other year? It's easy to point out some important differences between 1974 and 1975, observes Scott. But was the 1975 growing season more favorable than that of 1972 when we also produced record corn and soybean yields? 1 4 If rainfall, temperature, and days of sunshine for the two years were compared, there would no doubt be differences, says Scott. But it would probably be difficult to interpret what these differences mean to corn and soybeans. Research, rather than variations in the growing season, is the basic reason that 1975 was a better year than 1972,1967,1963,1956, and 1939, says Scott. These are the other years when record yields of both corn and soybeans were harvested. Research has resulted in a steady improvement of the hybrid corn plant, says Scott. It resists lodging better today than it did five or 10 years ago. And it is more disease resistant. There was more Stewart's disease than normal during 1975. But the reason it did not take a heavier toll was because some hybrids now have a good grade of resistance. The same is true of northern corn leaf blight. August weather favored high corn and soybean yields, says Scott. But it also favored the development of northern corn leaf blight. Fortunately, A.L. Hooker, University of Illinois plant pathologist, discovered a source of resistance to the disease. And hybrid seed corn companies are incorporating this into their hybrids as rapidly as possible. While present day hybrids are not completely resistant to stalk rots, they are much better than those that were grown 10 to 15 years ago. Tolerance to crowding has been greatly improved, observes Scott. Twenty years ago, 16,000 plants per acre at harvest time was the goal. Now it is more like 22,000 to 245,000. Six thousand additional half-pound ears per acre adds more than 40 bushels per acre. Research has also provided a better knowledge of the nutrient needs of both corn and soybeans, says Scott. Poorly nourished plants cannot take advantage of a favorable enviornment. There must be enough phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and other essential elements in the soil to produce 200 bushels of corn when a "200-bushel season" comes along. The same is true for soybeans, says Scott. While soybeans have their own source of nitrogen, they must have an adequate supply of the other nutrients. Herbicides share the credit for 1975's record yieldsTsaysrScott. The substitution of herbicides for mechanical methods has improved weed control. But of equal of perhaps greater importance is the fact that corn and soybean roots are no longer pruned with cultiyator shovels. Insecticides and fungicides also helped crops respond to the 1975 season. ^ There has been nothing as spectacular in soybean variety development as a hybrid, says Scott. But, as in the case of corn, there has been a steady improvement in lodging and disease resistance and yield potentiaL^he^oncludes. clergymen, funeral directors and others who may be in­ strumental in helping the parents deal with the problem. The SIDS project is also working with volunteer groups such as the National Foun­ dation for Sudden Infant Death, to inform and educate the general public about this «pndition.
