The track, the perfect place, is smeary. ; Now getting back to this arriving business, I am met at the fate by the squad car, the occut •' pant of which informs n-e that " ft pig is loose. Upon investigating I find a big old Duroc sow .ambling along looking over the fair. After all, it was about the only . Chance she had, being busy being , looked at all the rest of the time.

Some lady newspaper reporters Will be in most of the day. Now we have to get all the ribbons ready for the day and the ring sheets on clip boards for the superintendents. Superintendent of dairy gets all the ring dieets for the dairy classes with the exhibitors listed by classes. The same for the hog superintendent and the others. These sheets Were made up from each exhibitor's entry a number of days ago. Xt takes a number of days to (pake them up and that is the 'tteason why we can't take in entries up to the last minute. If the fair is delayed a few minutes We would be accused of not 77" knowing how to run the fair, etc.. •D we can't have late entries and have things in apple pie order, too. The phone rings. An anxious mother wants a boy in the fartyiest livestock tent to call home light away, she has a flat tire and can't come to the fair today.

Superintendents all arrive on time and are ready* to go. By Golly, we have one of the best bunches of fellows on these jobs any one could want. And clerks, just the same here. Are the public address systems all hooked up so the exhibitors can hear when they are supposed to show ? HEALTH TALK Ringworm Of The Feet Because the preponderance of cases of ringworm of the feet seem to occur among persons/ frequenting swimming poo^af. gymnasiums and shower room*! the condition has taken on the popular name of athlete's foot! From "the gate 'comes! Actually the condition is not word that the vice-president of "«"ited to these public sources the Jumpin- Fat Frying Pan Co. insists on getting in free because he was asked by his company board of directors to inspect their local dealer's exhibit. You ed up from the floor of the bathroom or bathtub in the home if some one previously infected has deposited the organism believed j ness tell Mr Veep that it is all right ! responsible for it, the educational for the local dealer to take his i committee of the- Illinois State exhibit outside the gate and set J s°ciety warns in a HEALTH it up so he can see it. He can"! TALK. get back in because he" has a Fungi, .which arfe vegetable orpass but Mr Veep pavs if he j^nisms similar to those causing comes in. After all, v for fifty i the mold,on stale bread, are concents, he may get' an idea from j s'dered the causative agents. a competitor's exhibit that he will i thrive on damp, moist areas of make his .company hundreds of the s^'n and maV 'ie dormant for months and even years. The condition is not confined to the feet, but may appear in any area of the body that is susceptible to moistness, such as the groin, armpits,, the scalp and hands. Thus the medical term for the condition, dermatophyto.sis. skin disease causect dollars. That's the 'old American system, God bless it. In God We Trust, Everybody else pays cash. Oh yes, the evening program. We have to get all the special awards in order from the supplier and from the ring sheets find out who is supposed to get them, so that when the boys and | means any girls march by in the live stock ! bv fungi. parade they get the right one and Actually the term the donor gets- the proper recognition. These are a few of the daily problems of the day helping run the fair. All in all, everybody is swell. I guess if I came around a fairgrounds strange to me I would ask a lot of questions toO. It's a swell fair. Come again next year. SPLENDID GROWTH A week of ideal weather contributed to the splendid growth of Illinois corn and soybeans, and j to the progress of small grain | harvesting, according to the most j r e c e n t r e p o r t o f t h e s t a t e a n d , federal departments of agricul-1 ture. The only exception to this! favorable picture is in southwestern Illinois, where it has been extremely - dry. Winter wheat harvest is practicallyover, and the oats harvest probably will be completed before the end of July. A heavy second, crop of alfalfa is being cut in various parts of the state. "ringworm" is a misnomer, since the scaly condition associated with it does not always take the shape of a ring, and, certainly, a worm is hot the source of the infection. Prevention of ringworm of the feet is most important, since once it develops and becomes acute great discomfort is experienced. The itching associated with the disease becomes, at times, almost unbearable. In fact, the condition can become so severe that loss of time from work results. ; In prevention of ringworm of the feet, good hygiene is essential. Careful attention to the areas between the toes is necessary, particularly in bathing and drying the feet. In washing, the toes should be separated and cleaned thoroughly but gently. The same procedure should be followed in dryirtg the feet. This is important in* all seasons of the year, but particularly during the summer months when humid and excessive heat cause the bodv to perspire more. The top cells are constantly being replaced by new cells from the lower layers of the skin. If the dead surface cells are not removed, they, with the moistnatural to the areas between the: toes, create a field conducive' to the growth of fungi- Parents should teach their children good hygiene as well as carry it out themselves. Once the infection has been brought into the Home, the whole family can be affected. Thus good hygenic measures can prevent the development of ringworm of the feet. Once the condition is rioted however, such as a dry scaliness of the skin, or cracks between the toes, a physician should be. consulted because the infection can be transferred from one part of the body to another, and from qne member of the family to another. Ringworm of the feet is tricky and difficult to control once i^ takes hold, so it is wiser to con-* suit a physician in the early stages of the condition. Thus distress and possible loss of time from school or work can _be avoided.

More than 9,000 WAVES no^ on active duty in the continental United States, Japan, Norway, Hawaii, Germany, France, Alaska and England, celebrated the occasion. ' t In Washington, D.C., Captain Joy Bright Hancock, USN, director of the WAVES, followed Naval tradition by using a sword to cut the ten-candled cake at the U.S. Naval Receiving station. The Secretary of the Navy, Dan A. Kimball^ in paying tribute to the WAVES, said, "During a decade of service in both the Naval Reserve and the regular Navy, they have proven themselves proficient and capable. Their devotion to duty has been consistent vyith the highest traditions of the Naval service. On" behalf of the Navy and for myself, I offer sincere congratulations and a hearty 'W^ll Done'." Since the, Congress authorized the enlistment and commissioning of women in the Women Appointed for Volunteer Emergency Service as a component of the Naval Reserve, more than 110,- 000 women have become partners in the service of the world's greatest Navy. The traditional Nayy blue proudly worn by these- women, is styled from a noble British lady's colorful riding outfit, predating the independence of America and the founding of its sea service. Created by the famous designer Mainbocher, the uniform is functional yet feminine, and is de signed for comfort, service an^ appearance. He stressed the importance, of simple lines whic}^ ' has suited the many individuals who have worn the uniform. With the passage of the Women's Armed Service Integration Act in June, 1948, women have become an integral part ol the regular Navy on a permanent basis. ^ Today twenty-eight of the Navy's enlisted ratings are open to WAVES.

SILT DAMAGE Each acre of the 265 square mile area which drains into Lake Springfield, in Sangamon county, contributes an average of 48 cubic feet of soil annually to the lilt whi^h is very gradually ffl- 'ing the lake.

These figures are ijh a report issued by the state water; survey, the state soil conserva-i tion service, and the SpriMgftetfe city water, light and power department.
