SECTION 2 - PAGE C - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JUNE 8,1979 Plan Youth Stock Clinic Livestock evaluation and judging will be discussed by Jerry Hicks, University of Illinois livestock specialist as well as Fran Weishaar, University of Illinois horse judge, on Saturday, June 9 beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the McHenry county fairgrounds. The objective of the clinic and contest, explains Craig Scheidecker, University of Illinois agriculture adviser for McHenry county is to identify important traits in livestock selection so younger people know what to look for when selecting their own animals. The audience is not expected to VFW Auxiliary become award winning livestock judges but rather have a working knowledge of what to look for in animals. Animals included in the clinic will be beef, sheep, swine and horses. The program will begin at 9 a.m. with an in depth discussion of characteristics to look for in each species. A judging session will be held after the discussions to practice placing animals. Seven classes of beef, sheep and swine will be placed. Horses will be judged separately in the arena area. Horse owners will only judge horses since the two areas will be separate. Six classes of halter and pleasure will be judged. Lunch is up to each person, then at 1 p.m. the official placings will be announced as well as an explanation of why they were placed as they were. Winners of the contest will be announced after that as well as state fair judges. For more details about the contest or about the McHenry County Youth programs, contact the McHenry County Cooperative Extension service at 338-3737 or 4747 or visit the office at 224 W. Judd street, Woodstock. Install Gerry Kuck New President Fifth District Gerry Kuck of McHenry, president -elect of the new 5th district, was among officers installed for the 5th, 18th and 19th districts of the Ladies auxiliary to Veterans of Foreign Wars at the last 5th district meeting held in Batavia in May. Seven counties comprise the 5th district until the close of the department of Illinois con­ vention in June. At that time three new districts will take the place of it. Kno\v{J - | SlMl f̂ Vfcatfigf Do high radio and televi­ sion towers have a tendency to draw lightning and thereby lessen the danger to lower structures and trees nearby? ~ Yes, high metal towers will often draw electrical dis­ charges from clouds passing overhead. So will especially tall buildings. Since the elec­ trical charges of clouds are attracted by the nearness of high grounds, like transmis­ sion towers, these towers often pull the lightning that would otherwise discharge later, elsewhere. If you live in the vicinity of very tall buildings or high metal towers-these structures will act as the old lightning -rods were supposed to-draw the lightning and ground it harmlessly. The tendency of these tall towers to attract lightning is recognized to an extent that builders install special light­ ning devices to carry off the frequent bolts that strike them. In a lightning storm, stay away from such struc­ tures, tall trees and any other high objects. Maa Shed Customer: "1 want a box of cigars, please." • Clerk: "Yes, mi'am-a strong cigar?" Customer:"Oh yes. My husband bites them terribly." The 5th district officers were installed by past 5th district president, Pauline Villa, of Glendale Heights.

Rush Motorcycle Safety Coordinator Illinois Department of Transportation The best motorcycle safety tip that anyone will ever give you is to always wear a helmet. I've taken this opportunity to correct some of the most common helmet miscon­ ceptions. Doesn't a helmet impair vision? According to the Motorcycle Safety foundation, certified helmets are required to provide a minimum peripheral (side) vision of 120 degrees. A normal person's peripheral vision when standing still is only 110 to 115 degrees. Once the cyclist starts riding, his area of vision decreases. Increased speed and not a helmet cause this tun­ neling effect. This effect is true with all moving vehicles. The faster the speed, the narrower the tunnel and the less you see. Doesn't a helmet reduce hearing? A helmet does provide a screening effect, but it screens all sounds to the same degree. Thus, noises that the cyclist doesn't need to hear, such as wind blast, are screened along with other sounds. The cyclist wearing a helmet hears all critical sounds at the same relative strength as the rider without protection, except at higher speeds. Then the rider FROM GOLF DRESS SHIRTS Ar FOR YOUR CONTEMPORARY WAY OF LIFE The standard of excellence in dress shirts. Impeccable good taste. Smartly tailored for a longer, leoner look.

At highway speeds wind noise becomes a critical factor in the cyclist's hearing. Because a helmet acts as a windscreen, the helmeted cyclist actually hears better at high speeds than the bareheaded rider. Don't helmets cause neck injuries? The common argument is that the added weight of a helmet contributes to whiplash injuries; however, whiplash injuries don't happen to cyclists. If a cyclist is hit, the entire body is free to move; but when a car is hit only the driver's head and neck move violently over the back of the front seat. This snapping action is what causes whiplash. Whiplash injuries are peculiar to car accidents. A helmet does add extra weight, but only for a day or two; then the neck muscles adjust and you don't feel any "weight problem". The chances of taking a direct blow on the neck during a fall are pretty slim, but the chances that you'll hit your head are over fifty percent. Most neck injuries occur when the rider's head gets bounced on the pavement, or hits a guardrail or cracks somebody's windshield. If the rider isn't wearing a helmet, a neck injury is the least of his problems. It's common knowledge that your head sits on your neck, so if a helmet absorbs the impact that would be taken by your head, it also absorbs the impact that would SPRING JACKETS r be taken by your neck. Helmets don't cause neck injuries. What should I look for when purchasing a helmet? There are many types and styles of helmets available, and prices vary widely. Whatever style you choose, select the one that offers the most protection - which may not be the best looking or even the most ex­ pensive. You should wear a helmet that bears either the American National Standards Institute label or the Snell Memorial Foundation label inside. For both comfort and protection, your helmet should fit snugly but not too tightly. Avoid the helmet that fits loosely. Remember to fasten the chin strap securely - a loose helmet offeM little protection and can cdme off during an accident. Send your questions to at 2300 S.
