Planting "Street Trees" Have you ever noticed the way those big, overhanging oak trees look when you drive down the street in an older neighborhood? Are you thinking of planting some in the boulevard near your driveway? That's great, but according to the Illinois State Nur­ serymen's association, there is a lot more to planting "street trees" than meets the eye. Aesthetic value is, of course very important. It's important to choose trees which please the eye. Maybe you thrill to the sight of fall colors...and a red maple planted on your street is going to give you ultimate satisfaction during the fall months. Or, maybe you love the sight of flowering dogwoods in the spring. Whatever your preferences, your local ISNA member can help you plan and select. But let's not forget other equally important considerations when planning street trees. In addition to providing shade and keeping pavement cooler in hot weather, trees clean the air, too. It's important to consider and choose trees which are hardy enough to withstand the pollution found near streets even in the cleanest neighborhood, require very little care, and will interfere minimally over a period of many years with power lines, pavement, and pipes. First of all, consider your climate and soil when selecting your trees. ISNA secretary James D. Hayward suggests that you choose trees that can tolerate the extremes of Illinois' potentially harsh winters and wilting summers. Next, determine the type of soil in the lawn or boulevard near your street or driveway and choose a tree that will do well in that type of soil. At this point, you may want to consult with your local ISNA member to get an accurate assessment of the soil condition. Another important consideration is size and form. You'll want to choose trees that complement the adjacent landscape, not overpower it or look dwarfed in relationship to their surroundings. And, as we mentioned earlier, your personal tastes and preferences should always top con­ sideration. The point, after all, is enjoyment. Consider, too, color and length of time till maturity. You'll want to be able to enjoy its shade and beauty as soon as you can. A tree's ability to withstand pollution is also important, since pollution is inevitable along any street. Your local ISNA member will assist you in choosing hardy trees. Another consideration is the need for care. Trees that need a lot of pruning, fertilizing, and cutting back are not recommended for the streets. If you have ever tried to place an extension ladder in the middle of the street or contend with power lines while trying to prune, you'll understand. Another characteristic of recom­ mended "street trees" is their ability to resist disease. When American elm trees in the U.S. contracted Dutch elm or other disease, entire boulevards were wiped .out. According to Hayward, the best defense is to avoid a "monoculture" by planting a variety of trees. In particular, what trees should you not plant? Stay away from trees with messy fruit that will drop on cars and Svemnt, such as mulberry and the nale gingko, Hayward advises. An exception is the hybrid crabapple tree, such as zumi, which holds fruit on its branches and will provide food for hungry birds in the cold months. Some maples are better for street tree planting than others. Silv«jr maples have roots that tend to spread, raising and cracking sidewalks. Silver maples, weeping willow and poplar trees send roots deep searching for water, and can clog cracked or loose sewage lines. These trees, with all; their beauty, are better off in parks, near streams or in the back yard rather than on city streets. Of the maple family, the red and sugar maples are probably the best for street planting. So, what trees, other than the ex­ ceptions just named, should you plant? Your local ISNA member can help you with your selection, but here's a starter list that will provide variety and versatility: American hophornbeam, Silverbell, Washington hawthorne (if you're willing to prune), Thornless honey locust, Hybrid crabapple trees. Bradford pear (insignificant fruit), Japanese pagoda tree, Little leaf linden, Green ash, Dogwoods, Hedbuds, Birch (there are many species, but river birch is especially nice and resistant to borers, Hemlock, Red oak, and Shingle oak. Fall is indeed a time for planning and planting, especially where trees are concerned. Landscaping your street makes an important con­ tribution to your home as well as your neighborhood. And, let's not forget the personal pleasures each time you drive down your street and enjoy the shade and color of trees you've planted. With some good local advice and these suggestions, you'll soon be on your way to enjoying the beauty and benefits of your "street trees". For information contact: James D.

Phone: (217) 525-6222 Take Time To Place Smoke Detectors In Home Where you should put one or more detectors depends on the size and layout of your home, and on where the members of your family sleep. Since the primary job of a smoke detector is to awaken sleeping persons and warn them of urgent danger, the most critical requirement is to put your detector as close as possible to the bedrooms in which your family sleeps. If two sleeping areas are separated by any significant distance, each should have its own detector. Next consider the probable path along which smoke would flow from the rest of your home. In single floor homes, this usually means placing the detector in the hallway off which the bedrooms open. In a house where the bedrooms are upstairs, the detector should be near the top of the stairs to the bedroom area. u ltie basic (brlhe only) smokecdetector in your home should be, "between the, bedrooms and the rest of the house, but closer to the bedrooms." If you're installing multiple detectors, and you've put one near each sleeping area, it is a good idea to make certain there is one on each level of the house. The basement ceiling, near the steps to the rest of the house, is another good location. For extra protection, consider putting r detector in each bedroom, especially' if the occupant might be tempted to smoke in bed on occasion. This is especially appropriate if your family prefers to sleep with bedroom doors shut. Closed bedroom doors actually offer Some protection against both fire and smoke from outside the room, but they will also make it more difficult to hear a detector alarm outside ' bedroom. V Furthermore, they can keep^moke produced by a fire in the bedroom from reaching a detector in the hali> detector in the bedroom will serve tox awaken the sleeping occupant before the smoke concentration in the closed room reaches a dangerous level. Check the instructions that come with your detector.

This not only takes advantage, of the fact that most smcrice rises, but puts the detector safely above ac­ cidental bumps and the inquiring hands of children. There is one place not to put a detector. Don't put it within six inches of where the wall and the ceiling meet on either surface. This has proven to be a "dead air" space that gets little air circulation. Some peculiarities of air flow and ceiling temperature need to be con­ sidered in certain installations. Ex­ cessive "clean" air flow across a detector can keep smoke-filled air from reaching the smoke chamber. This can happen if the detector is mounted in front of an air supply duct outlet, or beiweeautbftibedioomiAnd the«furnace drtdnHhrttunr.lh TBtthw of these instances, relatively clean air may still be "washing" the detector, even when most of the air in the house! is unbreathable. Also avoid putting detectors on a ceiling which is substantially warmer or colder than the rest of the room. In either of these cases, an invisible "thermal barrier" near the surface can prevent smoke from reaching the detector. This can be a problem in mobile homes or in older, poorly in­ sulated houses. In such cases, mounting the unit on an inside wall, , between 6 and 12 inches from the ceiling, will provide more reliable operatiqfi. ENCEPHALITIS { illiam L. Kempiners, director of th^ Illinois \ Department of Public th, said rast week that test results blood samples taken from birdS' uring the month of May, indicate ere may be a potential for human cases of St. Louis encephalitis later this- summer, especially in the southern third of the state. Monitoring birds for the presence of the virus is the important first step in deter­ mining whether there is a potential for human cases of the disease in July, August and September. Culex mosquitoes, which transmit the disease from birds to people, nor­ mally feed only on birds during the first half of the summer. In mid-to- late summer, the mosquitoes change their feeding habits from birds to humans. Kempiners recommends eliminating all small pools of standing water, which serve as breeding sites for the Culex mosquito. 3rd AnnualI ROD & CUSTOM & ANTIQUE CAR SHOW July 24 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. $3.00 adult admission includes all museum and village attractions and entertainment. •50's costume and dancing contest •"Greasiest hair" competition- • "Best duck tail" championship v< • Five hours of continuous 50's and 60's music! .

Schacht, acting director of the Illinois Department of Insurance. "Some private passenger auto policies have provisions that void insurance if the owner uses the vehicle to carry fare- paying travelers," explained Schacht. "We ask policyholders who are not certain whether their insurance permits such vehicle use to contact their agents."
