MARRIED IN APRIL •' 'ILLINOIS WILL V" FOB JtJNE INDUCTION PICK OFF OF NEWLY SET PLANTS. SAY EXPERT McHENHY PLAINfcEAtE# ^ MRS. HOWARD WALKINGTON '• V- . . . , . 0 " Before her marriage on April 3 in Riverside Community C%phurch, Loves Park, this pretty bride was Joanne Sibyl Conklin jhMt Wonder Lake. Her husband, Howard Walkington, is the son Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Harrison of Ringwood. * ' I ACCIDENTS TAKE -- DROP IN STATE DURING PAST YEAR The traffic accident statistics {contained in the May publication e of the state of Illinois were comj piled from reports of aceidenls filed with the Department of Public Works and Building.; as . required by the Illinois Traffic ' Act. Reports are required of all accidents which result in death or bodily injury, or in damage to the property of any one person in excess of $100. * There was a definite drop in the number of accidents reported »in 1952. Tha 1.18,519 accidents in 1962 were 13 per cent less than th* 1951 total of 135.515. This redaction took place despite a 2 per cent increase in motqr tra- ' vel, and while no general explanation can be offeied to account for it, there was a decline in reported accidents in several other ccmparable states. The number of persons injured in Illinois traffic accidents last year was 69,206' a decline of 9 per cent fvom the 1951 total of 75,752. T r a f f i c a c c i d e n t f a t a l i t i e s totalled 2,135 in 1952 compared with 1,992 in 1951. The number of fatalities per 100 million miles off motor travel in 1952 was 7.6, a 6 per cent increase over the 1951 rate. This is the first annual increase in this rate since the end of the world war. In McHenry county. 830 accidents were reported in 1952 and 850 the previous ye.ir. Twentyfour were killed last year as against seventeen in 1951. A total of 576 were injured last year and 615 in 1951. -Wr Im munization At Low Levels Smallpox and diphtheria immunization levels have fallen so low that many Illinois communities rfre ripe for serious outbreaks. This information comes from the I'linois State Department of Health. An immunization survey conducted in forty-two communities shows that fewer than 50 percent of the children in some areas have been protected against' smallpox and diphtheria. That percentage is so low that a single «a<se of -either disease in these areas could lead to t. serious outbreak. Many persons neglect to immunize their children because there have been no cases of smallpox and only fourteen cases of diphtheria in the state in thfe past year. Immunization "has led to the limitation of these diseases; failure to immunize is bound to lead to their spread. Pauline Brimhall, health specialist, University of Illinois Col lege of Agriculture, warns par ents that children who have been immunized in infancy need booster shots at regular * intervals. If ycur child has not been immunized against smallpox and dlphtheiia. see your doctor; it your child has been immunized, ask your doctor about booster shots. Most doctors also reconmend Immunization against whooping cough and tetanus infection. Colonel Paul O. state director of Selective Service, has announced that Illinois has been ordered to furnish 2,009 men for induction into the army in June. This figure represents approximately 6.3 per cent of the national quota of 32,000 for the month of June. .Colonel Armstrong estimated that about 54 per cent of the inductees will come from cook county. Every man' found acceptable for service must socaer or later discharge his obligation of serving in the military forces, despite deferments, Colonel Armstrong emphasized. In World War n the Selective Service local boards had to decide who should go to war and who should be left behind to perform vital defense and essential civilian jobs in the national interest. Today, however, the boards have to decide not so much "who" as "when." During World War n, men between 18 and 45 were liable for service, making a tremendous manpower f>ool available, while under the present' law only the age groups from 19 to 26 can be inducted 1 plus those whose liability is extended to age 35 because of deferment. , "With today's meager manpower resources we are obligated by world conditions to maintain a large and powerful military establishment," Colonel Armstrong said. ' It is estimated that less than" 2 per cent of the nation's manpower is presently available for induction. Large numbers of our registrants are classified as veterans or an physically unfit and cannot be inducted. In addition, fewer men are reaching the age of induction now than during World War II, due to the low birth rate during' the depression y£ars." It is the intent of Congress that every man shall 3erve his country fcr two years before reaching 35, Colonel Armstrong declared. Hence, deferments must be regarded as only temporary and can only be granted to those who qualify under a strict interpretation of ^he Regulations. Deferments grant no exemption from service, he pointed out. On the contrary, they extend a man's liability to age 35.

Removing the blossoms the first season lets the plants grow larger and develop more runners, which will increase the potential fruit crop the following season, says A. S. Colby, small fruits specialist at the. Illinois College of Agriculture. Tests at the United States Department' of Agrictfllure hive shown that hand picking is moro effective^than trying to do the job with sprays, "Colby points cut. Scientists at the USDA tried 2,4-D 2, 4, 5-TP and TIB til the form of sprays for taking the blossoms off strawberries. None of the sprays were successful, but hand picking seemed to stimulate the plants to more growth. In one test with U. S. hybrid 3919 variety about two months after the spraying and hand picking, plants from which the blossoms • were hand picked were much larger than the others and had an average of about twenty runners each. Sprayed plants in the same bed had about one runner or none, and check plants that had been neither sprayed nor hand-picked averaged 3.3 runners. Removing the, blossoms is one of the most important things you can do to give your strawberry plants a good start. Other ' research has shown that strawberry plants set out as scon as the ground can be worked in the spring will put out more runnerfc and that those runners will produce more berries the allowing spring than . will runners Wotn plants set out later. • SUMMER AQUATIC SCHOOL CONDUCTED IN STATE JUNE 7-17 aquatic and first aid skills will be offered this summer in a 10- WAUKEGAN YOUTH DROWNED SUNDAY IN NIPPERSINK r^t DAIRY JUDGING TEAMS TRAIN FOR NATIONAL MEETS L Dairy judging teams from thirty land graint colleges in the United States will visit the Curtiss Candy Co., farm at Cary, McHenry county, this summer to train for national ccllegiate judging competition. The presence of Curtiss herds in all five major dairy breeds makes the farm a unique, yet ideal place for activities of this kind. Local arefi farmers are also invited to visit the 860-acre farm. It is the only farm in livestock histcry to carry on a breeding program involving all five major "airy breeds, two beef breeds and f dual purpose breed. Special arrangements for a tour can be made with or added information obtained from the representative in this area, Elmer Kouba, a herd techn&lan. One of the first boating* indents of the season in this area claimed the life of a Waukegan youth in Nippersink Lake late Sunday afterncon. , Victim was Henry Hanson, 20, of Waukegan, who was one of six persons riding in an- outboard motorboat which capsized fifty feet from shore. He sank frcm sight before he could be reached by rescuers but other occupants of the boat were saved. • - % A Fox Lake rescue- squqd dragged the lake for several hours until high winds and rough water made it necessary to abandon the work until morning. day Red Cross National Aquatic school to be held at Camp Heffernan, Towanda, 111., June 7-17. This school is primarily for instructor and leadership training. Therefore, individuals who enroll should have definite plans to teach water safety, first aid or accident prevention and thus pass their knowledge on to others. Bach person trained at the aquatic school, who in turn teaches others bake Red Cross skills, indirectly benefits hundreds of people, according to Melvin A. Buzzard, First Aid and Water Safety Services directofof the midwestern area of the American Red Cross. A specialty school in small craft leadership training will be held from June 10 through 20 at Woodland Summer Camp, Eagle River, Wis. It will cover the skilled use of rowbeats, canoes, and small sailing craft, and will h i g h l i g h t t h e p r i n c i p a l s a n d methods of teaching and programming for ' camps, clubs ruid | recreation departments.' Surveys have shown that a vast percentage of our population -- almost 125,000.000 perj sens -- are in, on, or near a | sizeable body of water sometime j within every year. National j Safety Council figures indicate drowning to be the principal nonmotor cause of accidental deaths among the active age group, frcm 4 to 44 years. These deaths include not only swimming accidents, but also falls into water while working- or playing near it, and accidents involving boats. However, the death rate by drowning has decreased by almost two-thirds, from 11.2? to 4.2 out of every 100,000, since the inauguration of the Red Cross Aquatic instruction program in 1914. These statistics indicate the vjdue of the schools, net only to the inddvduals attending and to those they train, but to the community as a whole. Complete enrollment information may be obtained from any Red Cross chapter or from the Midwestern Red Cross area office, 4050 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis 8, Mo.
