SNOWBIRDS RETURN The Ringwood Snowbirds, named Virginia and Clayton Bruce, returned home after having spent three months in 2 the Naples area of Florida. ^ They did their thing of fishing and bowling, etc., but "V. ' didn't catch too many fish, because the waters were too cold for the fish to come in and bite. While fishing on the big pier one day, Clayton ran into Weldon Andreas, for­ merly of Ringwood. Tis a small world! Traveling home, they spent a week in Port Richie, Fla., visiting Virginia's aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Whipple. They celebrated '•* Clayton's birthday, March 7 "J by going to "The Skitters" vgf restaurant for a fun night << out. While at Port Richie % they ran into a cousin, the Leannas, from Woodstock. *' Then they stopped in Cisne, 111., to visit Clayton's mom, 1 who has been in the hospital. They arrived home March 14, and then we got snow. Of course we know now that whatever snow we do get will not last long. Right?? Right! Glad you're home with us 4 again, Virginia and Clayton; 3 4 I remember to give us a call whenever you're doing something newsworthy.

Smith, Wood­ stock, will retire from the McHenry County College board of trustees when his term expires this month. Smith has served on the college board for 10 years and has been elected board chairman by his fellow trustees three times. Smith was appointed to the board in the summer of 1970 to serve the unexpired term of Joan Hill. He was reelected in 1971, 1974 and 1977. A real-estate broker in Woodstock, Smith owned and operated a dairy farm for 20 years. During Smith's service to the college district the college moved to the per­ manent campus, enrollment jumped from 1902 to 4212 in all programs, the college was fully accredited by the North Central association, the budget increased from $2,179,950 to $4,741,430 and most recently a working cash fund was established. To Your Health A Service of McHenry Hospital Do-it-yourself home projects save money. But do- it-yourself can do you in if you're not careful. From the hammer that is inexpertly slammed on the proverbial thumb to the electric saw that cuts whatever gets in its way, home improvement tools can be brutal. Even the ladder hoisted wrongly may put a back out, of whack for a week, or' more. Placed in an unsteady position, a ladder has been many a good man's down­ fall. Refinishing and refur­ bishing old homes and old furniture is rewarding work. However, old paint con­ tains lead. And lead poisoning causes hearing and sight loss, brain damage and sometimes death. A minute piece of lead, if ingested, will cause brain swelling in a child, ac­ cording to the Washington Post. Paint produced in the last 10 years doesn't contain lead, but since old painted objects aren't dated, special precautions should be taken when removing paint from them. Preparing the surface , of an about-to-be-refinished object isn't nearly as im­ portant as preparing the work site. Working outdoors ,is best because there is j adequate ventilation. Open windows and an electric fan hfelfi' circulate the air in­ doors. However, a respirator may be the best protection in a closed-in place such as a closet. If an object is sanded or scraped, particles of lead may contaminate the air. Using heat to remove paint encourages inhalation of poison fumes. Using a solvent subjects people to toxic vapors, skin burns and possible fire. Working for short periods and keeping the air cir­ culating diminishes the bad effects. Remember, other people in the house or work area are being exposed to the toxic poisons as well as the worker. Particularly, keep children away. Cleaning up thoroughly is on the list of musts. Small pieces of lead on skin, hair or clothing can fall into food later and be ingested orally. Warnings aren't meant to discourage home projects. But to make do-it-yourself worthwhile, it pays to heed them. The value of U.S. farm exports this year is now expected to reach $36.4 billion. An $18 billion con­ tribution to our trade balance would result. Another 7 to 11 percent hike in food prices is forecast this year by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Nearly three-fourths of the increase will go to the non- farm sector to pay for marketing costs. So says the V A... ?pl,0hERBMAIll ' bv lohn Romita.
