PAGE 21 -PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY 21,1978 Something New In Flower Show The Flower show for the McHenry County fair has something new added. Com­ mercially grown flowers may be used in three of the classes. McHenry County Junior college students are especially invited to enter these classes. In the Junior show, for people ages 8-19, there are twenty-one classes offering $135. In the Senior show there are forty-one classes, offering $4l0. Two Best of Show plaques will be given by the Garden Clubs of McHenry County. All flowers and plants are to be home grown by the exhibitor with the exception of three classes. Entries will be accepted for flowers until 4 p.m. July 31. The show is open to .amateurs only. Entry blanks may be obtained at the fairgrounds office, which is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Classes include cut s p e c i m e n s , a r t i s t i c arrangements and potted plants. One class calls for a patio planter with 4 or more different varieties of coleus. Adult exhibitors are welcome; so are both women and men's garden clubs. Blue ribbons won will count towards winning the Home Economics trophy. Each entrant's exhibitor's ticket is good for all five days of the McHenry County fair, in­ cluding the grandstand. Largest Contribution Growth Noted By M.D Samuelson Noon Show From County Aug. 3-4 The Muscular Dystroph) association showed the largest growth in public contributions of any of the nation's major voluntary health agencies last year, according to the 1978 annual report of "Giving USA," a publication of the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel, Inc. MDA achieved a more than 20 percent rise in contributions compared to an average 9- percent increase in public donations to the country's largest twenty-three agencies. MDA's program is funded almost entirely by private contributions, the largest source of which is the Jerry Lewis Labor day telethon. The association neither seeks nor receives tax supported government grants, and its services are provided to patients and their families totally free of charge. "Increased support from the public," said Richard M. Hfctzer, president of MDA's Chicago and Northeastern Ulinoifechapter, "is heart­ warming because it means that victims of neuromuscular disease--young and old alike- can receive vitally needed help, maintain ten major research- clinical centers as well as in­ crease the number of individual research projects it supports worldwide to more than 550. With an average of one new MDA clinic opened each month for the past two years, our network of free patient clinics now numbers 193. In the Chicago area, there are five MDA clinics. We've also been able to significantly expand the already wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic services provided at these clinics. In addition, MDA's summer camp program now includes eighty-four sessions in thirty-five states." Four organizations are cooperating to host Orion Samuelson's noon show broadcast live and direct from the McHenry county fairgrounds during two days of the fair Aug. 2-6 at Woodstock. The McHenry County Farm Bureau, Northeastern Illinois Production Credit association, DeKalb-Woodstock Federal Land Bank association and McHenry FS are the cooperating hosts for the nationally-known radio- television farm director's radio program. Samuelson, whose program is one of the best ways city people have to learn about farming and agriculture through the broadcast media, will be at the fairgrounds on PATRON SAINT-A carved wooden statue of St. Paul reposes in the narthex of Si. Paul's Episcopal church, a gift from parishioners, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Swingle. Pictured are Chris Noweil and Rev. Arthur McKay, pastor, with the replica of the church's patron saint. The pedestal was designed and donated by George Bessler. Thursday, Aug. 3, and Friday, Aug 4. The public is invited to watch the WGN broadcast from the grandstand at the fair. Local personalities will be in­ terviewed and news about happenings at the fair will be relayed to an audience that extends over more than thirty states. Balloon Launch Will Aid Muscular Dystrophy The invitation reads, "Come one, come all. See tlwse magnificent men in their flying machines compete for fame and fortune in the Great Windycity Balloonrace for Muscular Dystrophy, July 22, 1978 at 4 p.m " Set on a lazy midsummer's afternoon, twenty colorful hot air balloons will launch from the Windycity Balloonport, Ltd., in Fox River Grove, located east of Rt. 14 on Rt. 22. The aeronauts will compete for a cash prize, and' the proceeds of the event will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy association. A small donation will be collected at the gate, with children under 12 admitted free Refreshments will be available and there will be plenty of free parking. Families are urged to come together and enjoy the beauty and the spectacle of this unique race In case of high winds or inclement weather, a rain date of July 23 at 4 p.m has been set. KnowS" s'r . I 'THI Propose Wool Agreement, USDA Referendum Rules The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the American Sheep Producers council have announced a proposal that would allow USDA to withhold funds from g o v e r n m e n t i n c e n t i v e payments made to producers. The deductions, which would be used to help finance the c o u n c i l ' s a d v e r t i s i n g , promotion, and producer in­ formation activities, would amount to 2^ cents per pound of shorn wool and 12 >4 cents per hundredweight of unshorn lambs Before the proposed agreement can go into effect, it must be approved by sheep producers voting in a referendum to be held later this summer. The exact dates of the referendum will be announced later. Proposed rules for con­ ducting the referendum were published in the June 13 Federal Register; the proposed agreement was published in the June 27 Federal Register. Copies of proposed referendum rules and the p r o p o s e d U S D A - A S P C agreement may be ordered from the Director, Emergency and Indemnity Payments Division, USDA ASCS, P.O.

Since lightning does strike water, contrary to some peo­ ple's belief, swimming is dan­ gerous when lightning is ob­ served, especially if it is seen to the west. But swimmers killed by lightning are usually not burned, they are para­ lyzed. So, artificial respiration is as important for lightning- struck swimmers as it is for drowning victims. Lightning strikes boats and automobiles, but all-metal cars (apart from convertibles) are safe havens. Boats near land are safer than boats far out to sea. Boats or ships with tall masts are most likely to be struck. Swimming or bathing is never advisable during light­ ning storms. Too Good to Bo Two Blinks: "You say he has a wonderful wife?"
