THE NEW BRENDA STARRS Knowing that talent very often runs in certain families and maybe is transmitted to friends who frequent these homes and really not wanting to boast or brag - my daughter and two classmates Cathy Szamlewski and Tammy Poduch, daughter of Jack and Donna Reese are on the newspaper staff of the McHenry Junior High Trojan as interviewers-writers.

The McHenry County Board of Health today announced that Richard A. Wissell, its Public Health Administrator, recently received information from the Illinois Department of Public Health that only three cases of St. Louis Encephalitis have been diagnosed in Illinois so far this year. The first case, a 57 year old Madison County woman, was reported Aug. 25; the second, a 71 year old Edwards County woman, was reported Sept. 1. The third case, a 46 year old Stephenson County woman, reported on Sept. 10 contracted the disease during a recent visit to Southern Illinois. Authorities point out that it is net unusual to see occasional sporadic cases of St. Louis Encephalitis during a non- epidemic year, and Mr. Wissell stated that public health of­ ficials are "very encouraged by the low incidence of cases this year". On Sept. 15 of last year thirty-three cases of the disease had been reported throughout the state. The 1975 Illinois outbreak resulted in a total of 578 cases, and forty-seven deaths associated with the disease. The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, said that this year a total of forty-three cases of St. Louis Encephalitis have been reported in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas. In Your Garden Saving Seed May Not Be Economical Home gardeners frequently attempt to economize by saving seed from their annual flowering plants. But this can lead to disappointment the following season, says George Young, University of Illinois Extension Adviser in McHenry county. Insects or wind may cross- pollinate ordinary inbred varieties with other varieties of the same species growing nearby. The result may be an unsatisfactory mixture of color and growth habits But, because of their unique genetic makeup, it is even less desirable to gather seed from hybrid varieties. The seed from hybrids almost never produce plants that even faintly resemble the desirable traits of their parents. If you do plan to save seed, make sure the seed is mature before harvesting. Seed should be air dried in a warm, dry atmosphere for about two weeks. Young cautions against drying seed in an oven He recommends cleaning the seed and placing it in a cool dry location, such as in a glass jar, with holes in the lid, stored in the basement. LICENSE DEADLINE Michael J. Howlett, Secretary of State, has reminded motorists that the deadline for receiving reassignments and requests for 1977 license plates is Thursday, Sept. 30. "The deadline is set by statute," Howlett said. "Illinois law grants everyone the privilege of retaining the same plate number, provided that application is made on or before Sept. 30." Reassign­ ments and requests must be submitted on the preprinted renewal applications which have been mailed to all registered car and recreational vehicle owners.

C# % PLEASED DEPARTMENT PERSONALIZED SERVICE Johnsburg) Tennessee, California, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Illinois. Dr. Gary Clark, coordinator of the State Health Depart­ ment's St. Louis Encephalitis Early Warning Program, reported that mosquitoes and bird blood samples tested are "still showing a very minimal virus activity". Since St. Louis encephalitis is traditionally a late summer- early fall disease, persons shoyld continue personal precautions against mosquito breeding. Mosquito breeding places can be eliminated by removing items such as flower vases, rubber tires, tin cans and other objects in which small pools of water can ac­ cumulate. The Culex mosquito, which is the primary carrier of the disease from birds to humans, can breed in these small puddles of water. Mr. Wissell also advised McHenry County residents to take personal precautions against mosquito bites by using mosquito repellent if going out doors after dusk. The Culex mosquitoes, generally dor­ mant during daylight hours, come out about dusk to feed. Window screens should be checked to assure that they are tight-fitting and in good repair. If you are camping out, sleep under mosquito netting.
