State Board Offers Election Judge Manual (Editor's Note: This is a regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer society in cooperation with the McHenry County Unit, Eustice Klein, president, to help save your life from cancer). A furniture manufacturer writes: "My wife has tried three times without success to stop smoking cigarettes, and instead, she finally decided to switch to a low tar, low nicotine brand. Will this keep her safe from cigarette related diseases?" ANSWERIine: There is no such things as a "safe" cigarette. A major recent study by the American Cancer society showed that smoking low tar and nicotine cigarettes results in lower total dea£h rates, including lower death rates from both lung cancer and coronary heart disease. However, among people who smoked low tar and nicotine cigarettes, deaths were still 30 to 75 percent higher than among those who never smoked regularly. This" means that while it may be a step in the right direction for your wife to reduce her tar and nictoine intake, quitting would be the best of all. Why not contact your local American Cancer society unit--your wife may be surprised and encouraged by {he practical help in smoking withdrawal that th6 ACS can give. A school dietician asks: "Is it true that the plastic film wrap we use in the kitchen is made of the same material that has been linked with cancer?" ANSWERIine: The material you have in mind is vinyl chloride, a gas, that is com­ mercially converted to solid form for use in plastic bottles, and wraps. The Food and Drug administration investigated the material because there is a link between the gaseous from of vinyl chloride and cancer. There was a possibility that some of the gas remains trapped in the solid form of the plastic and could migrate to food. However, after in­ vestigation, the FDS could find no vinyl chloride "migration" problem with the plastic wraps we so commonly use. A high school coach explains; "I recently saw the very moving story of Babe Didrikson Zaharias, the famous "Babe" on TV, and I would like to know something about the kind of cancer she had. Is it common?" ANSWERIine: This' out­ standing athlete and courageous human being had colon-rectal cancer, one of the most com­ mon forms of canofer which occurs almost equally in men and women. "Babe went on to win major sports victories and to live several years after being treated for cancer. Although she did die of the disease, thousands of/ colon-rectal patients are now saved each year because colon-rectal cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer if it is detected in an early stage and treated promptly. To ac­ complish that, the American Cancer society advises the public (1) to have regular check­ ups, certain laboratory tests (and special "Procto" examinations after the age of 40; and (2) to see a physician right away upon noticing a change in bowel habits. tiwim CMM m 13 71 H H 1172 *71 14 It H tf7J 71 V--r beginning June 1 tor wh--t Oct 1 tor com, and S«pt. 1 toe aoyto--n* Municipal and township clerks now may order a copy of the State Board of Elections' judges manual of instructions for the upcoming general elections, it was announced by Franklin J.

Summer Employment Directory Available PET COLUMN GIVEAWAY 2 puppies, 2 months old, male. 385-4564 1-26 WHAT S NEW Information for getting summer jobs is readily available to area college students, teachers, high school seniors and foreign students at the McHenry library. The library offers the aid of the annual paperback Summer Employment Directory of the U.S. which lists the most up-to- date information for 90,000 summer jobs in 1977. Jobs to be filled are at summer camps, national parks, summer theatres, ranches, resort hotels, resorts, restaurants, and amusement parks in every state in the^U.S. and Canada as well. S u m m e r E m p l o y m e n t Directory of the U.S. does not guarantee a job; however, information given comes- directly from the employers who want summer help. "With the up-to-date information provided, an applicant who is qualified may expect success in o b t a i n i n g s u m m e r e m ­ ployment," according to Mynena A. Leith, editor. Summer employers are now ready to hire. Applications sent early will have first con­ sideration. The Summer Employment Directory of the U.S. is on reserve at the library, or copies are available from National Directory Service, Inc., 252 Ludlow avenue, Cincinnati, Oh. 45220. Close Shave? It is estimated that an average man who shaves, removes more than 27 feet of whiskers from his face in the course of a lifetime. Thanks to promising ex­ port demand and tight domes­ tic supplies, the outlook is for strengthened soybean prices in 1977. The world market is a prime source of soybean price firmness. In December .1976, Assistant Agriculture Secre­ tary Richard E< Bell said: "When you look at the hori­ zon ahead, there is good rea­ son for optimism." He noted that although total tonnage of farm exports (in fiscal year 1977) would be down slightly, "this will be offset by higher prices" for soybeans and oil­ seed products. Foreign demand for.soy­ bean oil and meal, as well as beans, is not expected to abate. As the Department of Agriculture concluded last December 20: "Tighter sup­ plies relative to demand for both oilseed meal and oils are likely in 1977 because of smaller oilseed production in i V.A.

AND MANY MORE 1976 -- du/e largely to a re- ducd U. S. J ( 1976) soybean harvest, and expected contin­ ued growth in global con­ sumption." Supply looks so tight on world markets, that the internationally-read West German commodity publica­ tion, Oil World, declared last December 23: "Even more important is the question whether U. S. growers can and will give the world' enough corn acres and at the same time enough soybean acres next spring." Domestic markets look ap­ pealing. Doane's Agricultural Report stated on December 24: "The soybean supply . could be extremely tight by the end of this season. And you can build a good case for a moderately tight situation again in 1977-78, even if there is a 10% boost in plantings next spring." Doane's says that even with 55.5 million acres of soybeans, harvested at record-tying yields, beans will still be "relatively good property into 1978," leaving "the path clear for another explosive price situation" if weather problems occur. Soybean crushers seem prepared to do their part in sustaining demand. Progres­ sive Farmer magazine stated in its December issue: "Soy­ bean processors have contin­ ued to expand crushing capac­ ity, and if they utilize it at a below-average 75%, they'll still use up almost as many soybeans as the record of the., past season -- a plus for higher prices." All this confirms USDA's long-range analysis issued last October, which summed up: "Despite the smaller supplies and high prices, soybean de­ mand is expected to remain strong." Thatjnakes soybeans preferable over competing crops in farmers' planting decisions this spring. As Dr. T. E. Nichols, Jr. of/North Carolina State University has said: "Based on March futures, soybean prices will be about 2.3 times those of corn. Any­ time this ratio is above 2.2, it favors soybeans over corn." Among the nation's 577,000 women veterans, 447,000 are m a r r i e d , t h e V e t e r a n s a d ­ ministration reports.
