Thunday, March 13,10S2 a«ib Gathering ' The CuUom-Knoll aaaociatlon of ItcCullom Lake sponsored a - jjDtteh treat fish fry on March 7, iat McDonald's tavern at the Lake. The main reason for this affair : Was the boast of Mr. and Mrs. i tlugh McDonald that they never (ailed to catch a goodly quantity 'Of tarpon, tuna and sail-fish when they went to Florida. They made (good their boast, that is, in a "Tmanner of speaking. As they explained later, they had to leave ^Uie large fish in Florida in order fo be eligible for the season's |>rise. They just brought the small .Jfish home with them. I think they trferred to them as perch. & Be that as it may, the member# • of the club turned out in style to {greet the Macs and see for them- " {selves. Jean had to elist the services of two expert cooks and i jservers to take care of the crowd. '• "They used roller skates with air, ^brakes to take care of the service "during the rush hour. f Hughie Mac was busy elsewhere in the meantime explaining the shrinkage of the tarpon and sailtish. He blamed the high altitude v ;of the Great Smoky mountains for the phenomena. He thought he put his point over until someone presented him with a one- Way ticket to Burlington, Wis. Afterall, the Liars club in that Jfair city pays off for a vetjr unusual story. He could become president for the year. President Bails# put up a fin, five bucks that is, for the first prize, which was won by Mrs. R. Kinzie. Old McDonald put up the second prize, not the proverbial farm, understand, but one-fifth of fish oil, bonded of course, which was won by a very young lady by the name of Louise Mathesius. Father Freddie Mathesius immediately confiscated the fifth of fish oil, saying something about it being Lent. He really didn't understand. as it was later explained to him, that it was not Lent, but was an outright gift, free of charge. All th# elderly people came in their dog-sleds and showed the ;younger generation how to dance and hold their own under the oEfdeal. The young 'uns got such a kick watching the octogenarians .do their stuff, that they formed .an over fifty club, naming Mrs. Anna Trippensee (82) as president and Mrs. Reiter (79) as vicepresident Mrs. Tryg Rognstad was the youngster (75) and she was named as secretary. One Mrs. O. M. smoked her first cigarette and missed the prize because she could not name the brand. SIcDonald announced he la sending to Florida for the rest of his fish so he can hold regular fish frys on Friday nights for awhile. We'll be watching and waiting, Mac. If they send what Mae says he caaght, there should be enough for the people of McHenry also. Jgjfcfr^oore the merrier. ' F. W.

THE DEPARTMENT , The Department has received many inquiries relative to the following sections of the Fish Code, which became effective July 1, 1951 and will remain in effect until June 30, 1953. The Department's interpretations of the Code as passed by' the 67th General Assembly follow in question and answer form. Pole and line license at $1.00 (one dollar) per year. Question: What Sherman do with this? Answer: It covers all devices to which not more than two hooks are attached, that is, rod; pole and line; jug line; throw line; trolley line; bank poles; and similar devices. In waters designated as fish preserves fishermen may use only up to four poles and lines or four rods and lines, or similar devices, to which not more than two hooks are attached to each. In waters not designated as fish preserves they may use as many as four poles and lines and they may use six additional bank poles, or similar devices, to which not more than two hooks are attached to each. One hundred hooks or less trot line or throw line license at $1.00 (one dollar) per year covering legal devices to which more than two hooks are attached. Question: What does this mean? Answer: This means trot lines; set lines; throw lines; buoyed ganging; set ganging; ;or other devices having one hundred hooks or less. When a device of this type is left unattended a tag must be attached to one end. This is a metallic tag which is issued' by the Conservation Department free so that fishermen may identify their legal devices. The tags are given to the fishermen when they obtain their license from city, township or c o u n t y c l e r k s t h r o u g h o u t t h e state. Those widely used devices containing more than two hooks such as trolley lines, jug lines and various bank-operated throw lines (not specifically provided for by law) may be used under this license provided the devices in the aggregate do not contain more than one hundred hooks. Commercial trot line license at $2.00 (two dollars) per year. , Trichinosis •- Rfw or undercooked pork can bring trichinosis, a long painful and sometimes fatal disease,^ the educational committer of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a HEALTH TALK. The disease is caused by a round worm known as the Trichinella spiralis. It is acquired by human beings by eating meat, usually pork, in which the .larvae are established. The larvae fcre encased in a transparent capsule in which they have existed for long periods in the muscular tissue of> the hog. When the pork is eaten, the capsule dissolves In the stomach. The larvae then bore into walls of the intestines where, in a period ranging from seven to fourteen days, they grow into mature worms. Within six weeks, each female then produces about 1,500 eggs which hatch out into larvae. These larvae enter the lymph spaces of the intestinal Walls, thence the blood stream, eventually reaching the heart. From the heart they are distributed in the blood to the gnuscles. They bore in between the muscle fibers and then form again the characteristic capsule or cyst, where they may remain alive for many years. In its early stage, when the larvae are digging into the intestinal walls, the disease is usually marked by stomach upsets, followed by muscular pain, twitching and weakness. If the number of worms swallowed is large, the symptoms will be more intense, with pain so severe that it is often difficult to move, tin the next stage there may be also difficulty in breathing, chewing, swallowing or talking, depending on what muscles have been invaded. Other common symptoms are headache, chills and a general feeling of illness. Puffiness appears around the eyes and the throat is sore. Acute attacks last for a week or two until the wondering larvae become encysted, with a large majority of cases ending in recovery. There is always high fever in the second stage, with an increase in the white cells of the blood. If the. parasite invades the heart muscles, death may result. The third stage, that of encystment, may show anemia and skin eruptions, with a few cases of pneumonia. The fever becomes remittent An average of 1.5 percent of all American hogs is believed to have trichinae and autopsy averages throughout the nation show that about 16 percent of the population has been infected. Unfortunately, little can be done medically ta alleviate the condition. It may take months to clear up, depending on the ability of the body to withstand the activity of the parasite until it becomes encysted. The best treatment is prevention. Because hogs acquire the infection from eating offal and garbage, farmers should cook garbage before feeding it to swine, and prevent them from eating offal, such as dead rats, which often-harbor the worms. One way to destroy the worm is to store pork at a temperature of five degrees Fahrenheit for twenty days before it is used. Pork products, such as sausag^ and frankfurters, or meat loaf and chop suey containing pork, are foods that will bear special watching. In federally inspected plants, such meats must be heated to 137 degrees Fahrenheit, which also kills the worms. Non-inspected plants may constitute a danger, since some pork products are eaten as bought In these days of "delicatessen buying", the consumer must be certain that reliable and clean shops are patronized. When raw pork is bought for food, the one sure way to prevent trichinosis is to cook it thoroughly. Raw or rare pork Is dangerous. Remember that a mouth full of pork may contain hundreds of the parasites causing trichinosis. Cook pork slowly and thoroughly. Be sure that the meat is Whitish gray through to the center. Don't eat pink pork. TRACTORS TOPPED FARM ACCIDENT LIST IN 1951 ; CIGARETTE TAX DEPOSITS SHOW SMOKING DECLINE William G, Stratton, state treasurer, has reported that state cigarette tax deposits for the month of February continued to decline, while other major tax revenues showed sharp increases over the figures of a year ago. In February of this year, figures in Stratton's office showed, there was $1,364,186.50 deposited to compare with $1,792,702.56 deposited in the same month las? year For the first two months of the year cigarette tax deposits stand at $3,826,301.79 to compare with $4,462,292.07 for the same period last year. Tractors tipping MM# killed) or injured more Illinois farmers than any other farm accident last year. This fact was revealed in statistics compiled from Illinois newspaper clippings by the Illinois Agricultural association. These clippings also showed that corn pickers and combines are the chief cause of crippling injuries among Illinois farmers. Though the total number of farm accidental deaths dropped slightly in 1951 as compared to the previous year, the number of farmers petpanently injured increased more than 130 per cent, according to John K. Cox, secretary of general services for the IAA. The IAA is the statewide Farm Bureau organization with more than 187,000 farm families lis members. . "There were .313 Illinois farmers killed -ia accidents last year*," "Cox said. "In addition, we are losing countless man hours each year and untold thousands of dollars on our farms due to needless accidents. Tti^se statistics show farm machinery to be a prime cause of accidents. Yet we know that almost all mishaps occur when a farmer tries to hurry or shortcut his work." Cox said that carelessness and haste probably rate as the two prime reasons why there was a 131.9 per cent increase in accidents causing permanent injury and a 52.7 per cent increase in accidents involving machinery. "Besides haste, hurry and carelessness, there are several other reasons for the serious upward SMALLEST -- BUSIEST CHEAPEST WORKERS IN TOWN! PLAINDEALER WANT ADS trend in accidents among farm folks," Cox said. "They are: Getting behind with farm work, trying to get through before dark or before a ' rain, inexperienced help, lack of help on the farm, and an increased use of machinery in farming.*' If farmers are going to reduce their accident rate, they must learn to be more careful with corn pickers and combines, the IAA general Bervice secretary said. He citedi these facts to show why corn picker accidents causing permanent injuries increased 66.8 per cent over a year ago; with less serious accidents, corn pickers showed a 200 per cent increase. "Accidents involving bulls Increased 60 per cent" Cox said, while those with cows became even more nuiherous. As an example, cows permanently injured eleven farmers in 1951 by butting or kicking them, as compared to two farmers injured in this manner in 1950." "Eight farm folk were killed as a result of accidents involving horses in 1951," Cox said, "with five being killed as a result of the rider falling from the horse." Drownings showed a striking Increase, too, with thirty-two farm folks reported drowned in 1951. Accidents involving electrical appliances, electric fences and the like also showed an increase last year, Cox reported, but accidents from fuel oil and gasoline explosions were down about 140 per cent--same amount the electrical accidents showed an increase. "It's no fun to fall down, but farmers seemed) to have done more tumbling causing injury or death, than they did in 1950," Cox said. "The. compilations showed 210 such: accidents or deaths in 1950 249 in 1951, with an 83 per cent increase in death figures for this category alone. "In all, including temporary injuries, permanent injuries and deaths, 1951 was a bad year for farmers with total accidents and deaths showing a 24 per cent jump over 1950. "Farm accidents are always bad, always tragic," concluded Cox. "They are especially so now whev we are short of manpower and in need of the most efficient production possible to help the War defense effort. "Farmers should make^lt their pledge now to work safely in 1952 and to be alive and farming in IMS. PM Ask The Man Who Tried Om. j These Ads Really Bring Results. , <9- GO TO CHURCH DURING' K.
