Th i s phenomenon is called "having a picnic." Seriously, we all enjoy a picnic. It's a welcome change of pace and an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. The Illinois Depart­ ment of Public Health, however, reminds you that, when you picnic, you usually leave behind your modern forms of food protec­ tion, such as cooking and refrigeration, and enjoy your food under conditions which may lead to food poisoning. The state health department says that umu tin* basic -rule' to rememlter in order to avoid food poisoning is, "Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold." In other words, do not let potentially hazardous foods reach that in­ termediate temperature a t which microorganisms grow best -- between 45 ahd 140 degrees Fahrenheit. What are the poten­ tially hazardous picnic foods? Some of the more common cold picnic favorites are potato salad, deviled eggs or egg salad, sandwich fillings or other foods p repared by hand . - These foods should> be cooled immediately after they are prepared, and kept cool until it's time to eat. Any meat, fish or poultry precooked for salads or sandwich fillings or for eating cold (such as roast beef) must be cooled quickly after cooking. If you allow these foods to remain warm for very long, you are inviting dangerous bacterial growth. Cook hot creamed or sca l loped d i shes (especially those made with milk, eggs, starch or flour ) just before picnic time, and keep covered and piping hot until served. Any food which requires preparation with the hands, rather than with utensils, is easily contaminated - particularly if the cook i s s p r e a d i n g Staphylococcus organisms through cuts, sores or boils on the hands or arms, or is coughing or sneezing over the food. Such contamination cannot be seen, tasted or smel led , bu t , i f t he bacteria is on the food, it takes just three to five hours a t incuba t ion temperature to fill the food with poisonous toxin. Anyone eating the food will feel the effects two to four hours later, when they experience the abrupt and often violent feelings of nausea , c ramps , vomiting, diarrhea and prostration. Lemonade and other acid drinks stored in improper containers are ' an9S|mi6&d idf**' pidHJCiaEkSSBftaiifflK? „ made of antimony, zinc, cadmium or lead may be sources of foodborne illness if the acid in the drink erodes the metal of the container so that poisonous metallic salts are formed. The state health department has offered these picnic food hints in the hope that you will add to your summer fun by "Keepin' Healthy!"

We left Johnsburg at 8 a.m. and arrived at Shin-Go-Beek Boy Scout reservation in WaupaCa, Wis., in the afternnon after numerous delays caused by road construction. After setting up camp, the Scouts went swimming, fishing and exploring. Mike Mattio caught ajqice large mouth bass. The rest of us omy caught mosquito bites and a few wood tides. On Saturday, we went tubing on the Little Wolf river. We brought our own inner tubes in order to avoid the added expense of renting them. However, when we were unable to determine the exact starting point for the trip, We decided that it would be safer to rent the tubes and avoid unforeseen disasters, like logjams and waterfalls. Getting started down the river in a set of rapids seemed simple enough for the Scouts, who went skimming over the water with shouts of excitement, but for an adult who kept falling out of the tube while trying to keep a camera dry, it was a different story. Finally under way, the adults found tubing down the river was, for the most part, so relaxing that Jt was easy to fall asleep, at least until we ran into more rapids or until a passing Scout decided to splash us. The river was dotted with numerous large granite boulders, many of which were favor i t e sunn ing spo t s fo r snapping turtles. Some of the scouts attempted to catch the turtles, but they weren't quick enough or quiet enough. As the turtles slipped into the water, everyone sat up a little higher in their tubes until they felt they were safely out of danger. After about four hours of splashing and paddling, our group emerged from the river tired, hungry, and sunburned, but anxious to do it again another day. On Sunday, we broke camp and headed northward again. Along the way, we were lucky enough to spot several deer, porcupine, and even a bear cub, or maybe it .was only a large black dog. We traveled to Pearson, Wis., where we pitched our tents at Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Boy Scout reser­ vation. Over the next five days, most of us would get a lot of practice pit­ ching tents, as they had a way of falling down sometime during the night or early morning. Once or twice, the tents even fell by natural causes like wind and rain. Monday brought Tot-N-Chip training for the Scouts who needed it and an afternoon of swimming in the camp's beautiful lake. With Tuesday came our most eagerl^jjg^ted adventure.^V|e went would turn out to be an extremely exciting day of rafting on the Wolf river. Bedecked in our life jackets, we put in our rafts at a quiet portion of the river. It wasn't long, however, before we encountered Crowle Rapids. As the first few rafts went splashing through the rapids, the rest of us managed to crash into every rock we tried to avoid. The underwater rocks were as plentiful as the ones above water, but harder to keep away from. It took a lot of pushing, pulling and jumping up and down to get a grounded raft off of a giant rock. Horserace and Twenty Day Rapids were fun, but I don't think we had enough practice to prepare us for what was yet to come. We were all anticipating the approach of Boy Scout Rapids, which we had observed the day before from two hanging bridges at Gardner Dam Boy Scout camp. They appeared to be very long, fast and rock) Going through the rapids was a., exciting, though sometimes scarey, experience which resulted in some lost paddles and swamped rafts. There's an awful feeling of helplessness when you're stuck on a large rock in the middle of the rapids and your paddle is floating down the river without you. A potentially dangerous situation occurred in Hanson Rips when a Scout got out of his raft to push it off a rock and it floated away, leaving him in a calm spot of water behind a large rock with rapids rushing all around him. Luckily, the next raft approaching him belonged to Scoutmaster Bob Schindler, who managed to lodge his North Suburban Postal facility is moving from mechanization to the age of automation with new electronic mail sorting equipment. This new equipment will allow the Postal Service to reduce operating costs and provide more consistent mail service. North Suburban, located in River Grove, is the major distribution and Administrative center for 197 post offices in the north and northwest suburbs', which processes over 8 million pieces of mail .daily. V Frank J. Santoro, area manager, stated that the optical character readers (OCR's) and bar code sorters (BCS's) will be used to read and sort letters at a rate of 10,000 pieces per work hour. The optical character readers and bar code sorters are being used initially to sort mail bearing the five digit ZIP code. After Oct. l, the machines will be used to process letters bearing the ZIP + 4 codes. West Campus The automation-ZIP+4 program is designed primarily for the nation's business rikail which accounts for about 83 percent of the total mail volume. Postal customer service representatives across the country have been assisting business mailers with the conversion of their address files to include ZIP+4 codes. Use of ZIP+4 is toally voluntary and the Postal Service has filed with the independent Postal Rate com­ mission to offer a one-half cent per piece rate incentive for mailers whose machinekble OCR-readable, first- class letter mail, includes ZIP+4 Codes on minimum mailings of 500 pieces. "No one, neither the householder nor the business mailer, will be required to use the ZIP+4 Codes," stressed Santoro. "We are seeking voluntary cooperation from business mailers to add the four new digits to the existing five digit ZIP codes in their address files." The optical scanning equipment, similar in concept to that used by major grocery chains, banks and other businesses, reads the addresses on the face of an envelope, compares the ZIP code data and converts the ZIP code into a series of bar-half-bar codes which are printed on the lower , right corner of the envelope. At the destination post office the bar codes are read by bar code sorters which automatically sort the letters down to the carrier route level, and in some instances down to a particular office building or firm. Postal officials explained the automation program will cost about $690 million and will produce savings in the first year after full im­ plementation of about $600 million. More savings will come from reduced training costs, less letter carrier office time and substantial reductions in overtime work hours.

They fought the strong current and returned safely to the waiting raft. As a grand finale to our rafting experience, we encountered Gilmore's Mistake Rapids, where the 50 to 100 foot wide Wolf river narrows to 20 feet, creating turbulent standing waves and high rollers resembling haystacks. Everyone made it through safely, even though most of the rafts were full of water when they landed. The next two days were spent working on merit badges, swimming, fishing and canoeing. We have many fine fishermen, but the catch of the week was a 24-inch Northern Pike caught by our newest Scout, Donny Stinespring. Friday, we packed up our gear and headed south to camp one more night at Shin-Go-Beek. After setting up camp, we took a break and went water sliding at an amusement area nearby. The Scouts, along with an adult who will try anything once, had a great time on the slides while our scout­ master sat back and took movies. Back at camp, Mark Hanson caught a nice bass which was the last catch of the week. After a late dinner of slightly overdone chicken, we settled back to enjoy our last bonfire and to pull a few more pranks just to finish the trip off right. We returned to Johnsburg on Saturday, tired and dirty, but already looking forward to our next trip which will be to Springfield July 10.

No-Till Farming Increases farming-preserving soil and ; along with reducing the cost of nting and tilling crops-is gradually increasing among McHenry county farmers. Several reasons can account for the increased popularity: 1 • Farmers who have tried it on a modest basis find it is cost-effective and productively satisfactory, so they expand their acreage. News of their satisfaction (and experience) en­ courages others to try it. 2 - Some farmers are buying necessary equipment for no-till and minimum-till. 3 - An increased availability of custom no-till work is evident. 4 - The McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation district has ob­ tained equipment through lease or purchase to make more equipment through lease or purchase to make more equipment available during the short period when the best time to plant exists. 5 - Some implement dealers are cooperating with the district and with farmers to make equipment available by lease. 6 - Some farmers are converting conventional planting equipment for no-till purposes. 7 - Cooperatives, and local dealers are providing equipment, possibly through lease or purchase. McHenry County Farm Bureau board has provided assistance in obtaining a drill which is being used for planting soybeans in corn stubble. Dan Schmoker, executive director of the McHenry County Soil and Water district, issues a caution while en­ couraging no-till farming, "Farmers must learn about it, and should attend some instruction. Courses such as those offered . through McHenry County college are valuable." He encourages farmers to try limited acreage for experience and for an understanding of the changes in farming that are necessary. The district last year leased two no- till planters. This year it is buying three units. Because of the PIK program, the total number of no-till acres is probably below last year's total of about 2,000. The PIK program and weather combined to make no-till difficult because of days lost in planting. Set aside acres also wtore selected from land that is least desirable to plant to row crops, Sch­ moker observed. BUCKLE UP The summer months are the critical travel days of the year, says the National Safety Council. Motorists should remember to use safety belts and fasten children in child safety seats. These occupant restraints would save 14,000 to 18,000 lives each year if everyone wore them. To educate the public .on the need for occupant restraints, - the Council is conducting a "Make It Click - Buckle Up" campaign and asking that in­ terested persons sign a pledge that they will wear safety belts and fasten children in safety seats whenever they travel in a motor-vehicle.
