Don Peasley Photography Johnsburg Citizen Council Makes Report When the Citizen's Advisory council at Johnsburg high school held its last meeting, it was reported that Mike McEvoy, Vocational committee chairperson, had spoken with Dr. Dvonch, Industrial Arts instructor, concerning the vocational depart­ ment. Dvonch's outlook was that there was a strong interest this year in the electronics field. The Vocational Advisory committee will meet for a vocational program review and more will be reported at the next meeting. Mr. Gough reported that the wall near the Reading Lab was installed. The freshmen and seniors will be instructed in a computer literacy program which will begin soon. The Parents' Preview night was a success. Mrs. Shine, who attended the Parents' night, complimented Gough and the staff at the high school for the very fine work done. An improvement has been made in the guidance and counseling depart­ ment with the addition of a full time aide, Molly Beck. In the three weeks since this addition, more students have been able to receive personal contact and attention from the counselor and gain access to career information through the new aide. The council would be interested in hearing from parents, students and any other community members regarding their thoughts on any of the group's goals. Members of the com­ mittee are Tom Fowler, chairperson, Mike McEvoy, vice-chairperson, Linda Davidson, secretary, Mary Ellen Shine, Jim Wester. Jacie Smith, Donna Olekzy, Thomas Cahill, Kristin Ort and Roger Dalan. Carrots were bred into existence 150 years ago in England from Queen Anne's Lace, a weed. The walking stick, an insect, was so- named because it resembles the twigs of the plants on which it lives. P.O. BOX 447 2505 N. RINGWOODRD. McHENRY, ILL. 60050 BY BRUCE T. OTTO by Bruce T. Otto Public Relations Officer Here is some additional information in our series concerning Vietnam veterans. Q. Does Agent Orange exposure cause human birth defects? A. There is no medical evidence to establish that exposure to Agent Orange has caused birth defects in the children of Vietnam veterans. In­ dustrial workers exposed to the ingredients of Agent Orange have not fathered an increased proportion of children with birth defects. A study of male mice treated with Agent Orange revealed no effect on fertility or on the rate of birth defects. However, some veterans have expressed concern about this possibility, and therefore the VA is providing funding for a major research effort in this area at the Centers for Disease Control. Q. Why is the VA opposed to doing fat biopsies to check for the presence of TCDD human tissue? A. The test to determine if TCDD is present in body tissue is a highly complex and technically difficult process. First of all it requires a surgical procedure to obtain enough fat for this chemical analysis. Secondly there are only a few laboratories in the world which have the equipment and the technical TCDD in body fat and known exposure to Agent Orange. There is no correlation between TCDD in body tissue and reported health problems. For these reasons, the VA at the present time does not believe that this procedure would be of any help to Vietnam veterans. Q. Since VA has no proof that Agent Orange does not cause problems, isn't it being overly bureaucratic by put­ ting the burden of proof on veterans who have problems? A. As a basis for compensating a veteran for permanent disabilities caused by military service, there must, in fact, be a disability or symptom, not just a fear of one. There must also be a logical basis for a determination that a given disability had its inception during, or was aggravated by, the individual's military service. , Q. Is there a comprehensive source of scientific information about the herbicides used in Vietnam? A. A review and analysis of world literature on herbicides was com­ pleted in October, 1981. Copies of this two-volume scientific document can be purchased as follows: Volume 1 - Analysis of Literature Stock No. 051-000-00154-1 Volume 2 - Annotated bibliography Stock No. 051-000-00155-9 Vendor: Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20401 The review was conducted by an independent organization under contract with the Veterans Ad­ ministration. Three new services to help students and school officials better understand and interpret scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test- National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT-NMSQT) have been in­ troduced by the college board to coincide with this year's test date of Oct. 19, according to counselors at both East and West campuses. The three services are: A Summary of Answers Report, which indicates how many students in each school, district, or state chose each answer to each question on the test, as compared to all students taking the test nationally. State Summary Reports of sophomores, which show career choices, intended college majors, ethnic background, and similar demographic data-identical to in­ formation currently provided for juniors. A Counselor's Guide to Helping Students Learn from the PSAT- NMSQT, a new publication designed for counselors to help students more clearly grasp the general nature of the tests and the implications of their test results. By taking the test, students discover how they rank among juniors (or sophomores or seniors) across the country. It also provides a preview of the college board's Scholastic Ap­ titude Test (SAT), which many seniors take when they apply for college. The PSAT-NMSQT is also the qualifying test for students wishing to participate in competitions of the National Merit Scholarship «or- poration. McHENRY GOLD IS HERE!

GARDEN A popular potted plant in tropical gardens, the Croton is an evergreen shrub that came from the Pacific islands. Cultivated varieties are fav­ ored in warm coastal areas because they add a splash of color with their rich leaf hues --red, green and yellow, sometimes black, with specks of other colors. Depending upon their vari­ ety, leaf shapes are long and narrow, ovate and sometimes lobed. The croton requires good light for the development of leaf colors, but should not be placed in direct sunlight. Sud­ den temperature changes may cause leaf drop. The plant requires frequent watering. Another indoor plant that should be located away from draughts and room areas subject to sudden tempera­ ture changes (such as the hall­ way or a room opening to the outdoors) is the Dracaena palm. This native of tropical Africa is an upright plant with long, green, strap-like leaves. The Dracaena also should be kept away from direct sun­ light, watered and sprayed frequently. Room temper­ ature should be above 50 de­ grees F. In late spring or summer, the Dracaena shows small red and white florets. Some people find their fragrance to be objectionable.
