Both of these threats to your health can develop rapidly if weather conditions are right; so when the temperature soars and the humidity nudges 90 percent, don't overexert yourself or stay too long in the sun. Don't be so eager to get a job done or get a tan that you increase your risk of heat exhaustion or sunstroke. Heat exhaustion occurs when you build up too much body heat from Overexertion in hot weather, even though you may not be working in direct sunlight. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing - preferably cotton because it won't in­ terfere with the evaporation of sweat. breaks in in the coolest available place. If you can dro so, post­ pone strenuous activity until the weather is cooler. Should you begin to feel dizzy, faint or nauseated, or ex­ p e r i e n c e m u s c l e cramps, you may be on the verge of suffering from heat exhaustion. Don't continue to overexert yourself. Should the symptoms worsen, your face will become pale, your breathing may become shallow, and your heart beat more rapidly. If these symptoms develop, lie down on your back in the shade and loosen your clothing. If the symp­ toms do not ease in a few nimutes, get medical attention - or you might possibly become another fatality from too much heat. If you have no choice but to work outdoors or in a building that is not air-conditioned, drink- more fluids than you normally would to replace the loss of body fluids. Water, fruit juices or fruit-based drinks, such as lemonade, are all good choices, but don't drink iced tea, coffee, soft drinks, or any liquids that contain caffeine. A v o i d d r i n k i n g alcholic beverages because they will decrease your ability to withstand high tem­ peratures - even cold beer. Also, too much alcohol may dull your senses so that,you don't realize that you're overworking and get­ ting too hot. Sunstroke, or heat stroke, is caused when you ignore all the warnings and continue overexerting yourself or getting too much sun. Just sitting too long in the sun can cause sunstroke. The symptoms of sunstroke are just the opposite of heat exhaustion. Instead of feeling clammy, the skin becomes red and dry and feels hot to the touch. Breathing may become slow and noisy, and you may lose consciousness. If the symptoms do not begin to ease in a few minutes, you need medical at­ tention. If you feel that you might be suffering from heat exhaustion or a sunstroke, get out of the heat at once. Obviously, an air-conditioned place is best, but if that's not possible, stay indoors, and use fans, or open the windows to circulate the air. A cool bath or shower will help lower your body temperature. One other word of caution. If you exercise during hot weather, do it in the early morning or late evening hours. Strenuous exercise, like strenuous labor, should always be avoided when the temperature and humidity are ex­ cessively high. CONSERVATION CORPS More than $1.3 million will be used this sum­ mer to put about 950 Illinois youths to work in state parks in an Illinois Conservation Corps program. Governor James R.
