But 274, McHenry, Phone 866. tf Mshtf* Mli flab and gamedepartment has inauguratad a' unique SVQfram a| parachuting boa vers man an airplane. A major rasouica in Idaho, not only for the 7,500 pelts marketed annually, beavers are regarded by the game department as nature's k little hdpwi because they build dams that prevent soil erosion and retain water In the upper level streams untQ ft la needed in Mia summer. v But beavers, when they get the Idea of a dam> don't always build it where it is most needed. Sometimes they divert irrigation waters. So the state of Idaho took the matter in hand and is giving beavers a little directum. The beavers are dropped by parachute from an airplane over inaccessible, primitive areas, at an altitude of about 900 to 600 feet. Each beaver is placed in a clamshell box which is hinged at the bottom. Two inner tubes are pulled around the box and tied together at the top with a string," the weight of the beaver holding the box shut during the descent. When the beaver strikes earth the box springs open.- Male, and females are dropped, because the game department is also interested in propagation of the fur bearers. To keep the air lift going, the state fish and game department has developed a program with every caretaker trapper to provide alive during the summer at least 10 per, cent of the number of pelts he is permitted to take during the wtater.

Experience not necessary, as we will train yon. TeL Woodstock 480-J. - *28 Many Mwt Nvrsts NmM, Nursinf CfiMll Rtfsrts A shortage exists in adequately trained nursea, according to a report, "Nursing for the Future," prepared for the National Nursing council by Esther Lucile Brown. Far reaching changes in nursing practice and in nursing education are recommended. The expectation that the nursing i shortage would be relieved at the expiration of wartime demands has not been realized, says the report. In many hospitals, wards and even floors remain closed because there are not enough nurses to permit reopening. Planned expansion of health services has sometimes not been possible because nurses required for such preventive programs had to be assigned to the care of those already sick. Nursing with its opportunities for helping others, has a deep intrinsic appeal, but if enough young women are to be attracted to this service it must be supported, believes Dr. Brown, by better salaries, more stable working conditions, and an environment freer from authoritarianism. More men nurses are needed. Nurses who have married and whose children are now gcown should be retrained and returned to useful service. Students and personnel should be recruited, recommends Dr. Brown, "without regard to sex, marital status, economic background, or ethnic, racial and religious origins." 47-tf | MONTHLY BOOKKEEPING I VICE -- Records installed and main _ ~ ^ tained.

'M Uncle Sam*s Boy , ' "IITALKING along a streot to a small town, a man waa attracted by a series at screams from a nearby house. He ran in ta investigate and found a frantic mother whose small son was choking on a quarter he had swallowed. Seizing the child by the heels, the rescuer shook him until the quartef dropped on the carpet. The grateful mother was lost in admiration. "You certainly knew how to shake it out of him," she said. "Are you a doctor?" "No, ma'am," the good Samaritan smiled grimly. "I'm from the department of internal revenue." . Death in Comfort Th6 doctor's waiting room was very full. Every chair was taken and some patients were standing. There was a desultory conversation but after a while silence fell and the patients just sat, waiting. Finally an old man stood up wearily and sighed: "Oh, I guess I'll go home and die a natural death!" IHMBP TONGUES Probably nowhere in the world do women have sharper tongues than in movieville. Witness the remarks of two filmites overheard as they discussed a mutual friend. Said the first: "She certainly has developed a big head." Said the other: "She needs it to support her two faces."

ELEC- 'Best Buy' Meal "Battle of rising meat costs" is being fought by every homeftiaker. And one way to save a little is by buying veal and certain pork cuts. Extension meat specialists say that in general shoppers will find veal more reasonable than other meat. Veal rump roast, boned veal shank and other boneless stew meat are generally good buys. Pork "best buys" are probably the Boston butt, which has little bone, and the picnic, fresh or cured. Often called the picnic ham, this cut is sold With or without the shank. Pork liver is usually the lowest priced kind of liver. With high food value and little waste, it's a good buy. Tongue is one of the most economical beef cuts. It has little waste.

Enrly Champion of Freedona For hundreds of years and for all nations William Tell has symbolized the age-old fight of freemen against tyranny. He was a typical Swiss. Whether William Tell actually shot an arrow through the apple on his son's head and later killed Gessler, the tyrant who ordered the feat, is open to historical argument. Legend says that Hermann Gessler, a cruel sheriff, placed hia hat on a pole in the town square of Altdorf, with orders that his hat receive deference from all passersby. In punishment for ignoring Gessler's hat. Tell was ordered to shoot an apple from the head of his son. Later, Tell shot Gessler. Complete line of Loom poultry remedies at Wattles Drug Store, MeHenry.
