JANUARY 25, 1978 J IN YOUR GARDEN SHORT DAYS AND LONG NIGHTS Here it is winter and the short days and long nights remind us that plants depend upon light ^forjrowth. Without light, there \jyould be no photosynthesis, no production of food and no growth Plant material is af­ fected by the intensity, quality and duration of the light that reaches it. says James A. F i z z e 1 1 , " h o r t i c u l t u r i s t , . University of Illinois v Cooperative Extension service in Cook county. The aim of a successful grower is to provide the kind of environment ayhere maximum photosynthesis takes place. This is obviously more difficult, to do during the winter when light intensity and duration are reduced. Anything you can do to get all the available sunlight in the winter is worth doing. r Some suggestions are to -' locate plants in the brightest spot possible It would also help- if the windows where there* plants are located are clean, * letting in as much light as possible. Space plants that are in the . window farther apart than " usual to insure that there is adequate leaf surface exposed to the sun. The more light that strikes the leaf, the higher the leaf temperature, the more photosynthesis that takes . place, hence more growth. Provide reflective surfaces under the plants as well as behind them. Aluminum foil can be used here to bounce light back to the plants. Change your growing practices to fit winter con­ ditions. When there is less light, the demands of the plant are lessened and you should , perhaps cut down on water and food; and lower the tem- pearture - 62 degrees F. at night and 65 to 70 degrees during light ^ hours is adequate. • Supplemental light can be used to advantage in getting 1 additional growth during low light periods. Flourescent lamps laced 6 to 12 inches ' above the plants and turned on as the sun sets for 5 to 7 hours will provide a( says Fizzell. If k,the only sourc lights should hours each di jiate lighting, jrtificial light is l of light, the on for sixteen WORKWISE Questions And Answers 1. While at work, I had an accident that put me in the " hospital. I'm out of the hospital now, but my doctor thinks it may be another two or three months before I can go back to my job. I am receiving workmen's compensation benefits for my injury, but 1 wondered if I could also collect unemployment insurance until I can get my job back. T h e u n e m p l o y m e n t insurance system is set up for persons who have lost their jobs and meet certain eligibility ' requirements. One of the - primary requirements is that you are able to work, are available for work, and actively seeking work. Also, you cannot collect U.I. while r e c e i v i n g w o r k m e n ' s compensation benefits. Since you say you are receiving workmen's compensation for - an injury that left you unable to work, you would not be eligible for unemployment insurance. 2. I am a military veteran. I heard that veterans have • special rights in employment. I was recently discharged and now I'm looking for a job. What kinds of employment rights do I • hold as a veteran of the Armed • Forces? Veterans of the Armed ' Forces hold many special privileges. Of special < importance is their right to re­ employment in their pre- " enlistment position. A veteran may have a right to the same - seniority, status and pay he •would have held if his employment had continued with no military interruption. - Only veterans who were in the ! military less than four years - and still hold pre-enlistment skills qualify for this benefit. In addition to this and many other specific rights, a wide range of educational benefits exist. For more information, you can write or call the Veterans A d m i n i s t r a t i v e R e g i o n a l Office, 6015 West Belmont, Chicago, 111., 60634 <312)889- 1843.

' The Veterans Administration Reported the nation's veteran population stood at 39,840,000 at the end of September, 1977. In September, 1976, VA said the Ration's living veterans totaled 29,667,000 individuals. : Single veterans who are going to school full-time under the GI bill receive $311 per month in VA education Jbenefits, the Veterans administration reports.

And, about this time of year, many children are out enjoying their Christmas sleds. Unfortunately some of them are also being injured in sledding accidents. The Illinois Department of Public Health has some safety tips that may help your child avoid a sledding accident. 1. Make sure the sled is constructed well. It should not have split or splintered wood, or metal parts that are bent out of shape. 2. The sled should not have any sharp, jagged edges or protruding rivets. 3. It should have a protective guard or bumper over the metal front bar to prevent cuts and other injuries in case of a collision. 4. The sled should steer easily, without jamming. 5. It should have secure handholds and a place to tie on a rope. When using the sled: 1. Walk over the sliding area before using it. Look for bumps, tree stumps, boulders, ice and bare spots. If these hazards cannot be removed or repaired, do not use that part of the slope. 2. Supervise children who are inexperienced in using a sled. Make sure their first sliding is done on short, gradual slopes that are not cluttered with debris or bumps. 3. Warn children not to push, shove or otherwise roughhouse while riding sleds. 4. Figure out ahead of time how to stop the sled or get off safely in an emergency. Learn how to roll sideways off the sled to lessen injury in case of a collision. 5. Do not slide through traffic intersections or across streets, even if thane are no cars in sight. They can appear suddenly "out of nowhere", 6. Hold or tie the ropes on the top of the sled to keep diem from slipping underneath and causing an abrupt stop. 7. Don't slide until the slope is clear of nearby sledders. 8. Move off busy slopes quickly when youtreach die bottom to prevent collision with other sledders. 9. Walk back up the slope along a side path out of the way of those coming down. 10. Never tie a sled to the bade of a car. When the automobile stops, the moving sled can easily slide under the car, causing serious injury to the person riding the sled. If you want more information about sleds, toboggans or snow disks, contact your local health department, or write to: Illinois Department of Public Health, Product Safety Program, 535 W. Jefferson, Springfield, IU. 62761. Fire Fight The Illinois Department of Conservation has announced that fire departments in Illinois have until March 1 to apply for grants for federal funds to upgrade their fire fighting capabilities. Illinois was recently allotted $131,300 to distribute to fire fighting agencies on a 50-50 matching grant basis. Community officials wishing more information on the grant program should contact the Department's Division of Forestry, Conservation area, RR No. 5, Springfield, 111. 62707 or telephone (217) 782-2381.
