.•«n ' • f *-V' it- £ fnataens. JteiMtftfaor) By W. H. Tam nit'S* n crowds which taxed the city of the Sherman hotel were it for the I.A.A. convention, 'fctve attended different convennnd generally there is plenty Maom in every session. This is true of the I.A.A., you have to 0* hand at least fifteen minutes tore a Session starts if you want Iff Mat I Enthusiasm runs high among f|hn leaders for their organizataoa. The general policy is to do . affray with direct government payits for anything. President in has committed himselff the organization to the idea of •topping all federal payments to ^knners through the P.M.A. (A.A. „) because it cannot be proved |ey need it. P.M.A. officials claim Ijrnents have been instrumentaf getting thousands of tons of astone, phosphate, potash, etc. Mped on Illinois farm land in reo «t years. Every dollar the farmer gets : easts the taxpayer at least $1.30 it Is estimated, and who is the taxffcyer? If the I.A.A. can get farmto q'att kidding themselves on one thing, they have really a service worth the $15 'ItAoets to belong. f. C. Peterson of the American JPstm Bureau Federation said at tkti convention that 18 per cent of the IT.3. population are farmers. 1.8 million farmers. Of these, three million produce 97 per cent of the food consumed off farms. It is awfully easy to decide that this group should be subsidized to make food ir-heaper tor the other S2 per cent. 7t this manner farmers have become servants of the government In other countries such as England. France, Sweden and Italy. Organization is the only method farmers have to retain their freedom. Peterson said. Maybe you didn't kBOW these facts. Our hot shot organization director, Paul Whalen, caused quite a stir by having all McHenry county delegates wear a large "2" on their - lapels. When asked what the num- ' ber meant we were directed to hand the inquirer or the nosey person a card which said McHenry county was second in number of new members signed in 1950. 410! second in numerical net gain in 19S0, 391; second in per cent of gkifl in 1950, 16 per cent (the state average was 5.4 per cent; second in the tug-o-war contest at the * state sports festival in 1950. Needless to say, Paul made all quotas and received an award of merit. Delegates to the convention were Karle Johns6n, Huntley; Mark Hansen, Woodstock; Chester Kubly, Marengo; Harold Leisch, Woodstock; James Watson, Union; Walter Dahlman. Marengo; and H. R. Kilts, Woodstock. Earl M. Huges, farmer of McHenry county, was unanimously re-elected to the I.A.A. board of directors to represent this district, Including Lake. Cook DuPage, Will, Kane and McHenry counties. It was brought up in the con ftJUTHTttltS WHAT IS HEART DISEASE t Each year more deaths occur from heart disease than from any other single cause. The educational committee of the Illinois State Medical Society, in a HEALTH TALK, states that knowledge and vention that the I.A.A. is saving .care could reduce deaths from the farmers of the state from $250,000 to $300,000 per year by getting R.E.A. electrict power distribution cooperatives together with power companies and negotiating' on price before R.E.A. would launch out on a program of building their own generating plants. Last week a business man sat in on our monthly Farm Bureau board meeting. Afterwards he said he couldn't see how farmers ever got the name "hick". "More real business judgement was displayed than in any session of business men he ever sat with in Chicago," he said. , Farmers are businessmen hut very individualistic in nature. ItEADY FOR raTUR Highway maintenance crews are setting up some 380 miles of snow fence in fields flanking Illinois roads where drifting is most likely to occur, according to Charles P. Casey, director of the state Department of Public Works and Buildings. One thousand trucks equipped with snow plows, and 356 cinder spreaders are being overhauled and made ready for winter use. Approximately 300.000 cubic yards of sand and cinders, 1,500 tons of calcium chloride to prevent pavement surface freezing and .1,000 tons of salt to break up ice are being stored at strategic points. All this is in preparation for the annual task of keeping the 14,000-mile state highway system open for traffic despite winter storms. Beginning about Dec. IS and continuing as long as needed, - road condition bulletins will be furnished to about a dozen Illinois radio stations twice daily at 7 a.m. and '5 p.m. 'many illnesses which stem from conditions affecting the heart. Acting like a pump, the heart circulates the blood through the body. The heart Itself is composed of a mass of muscled forming four chambers which receive the blood brought to it from all parts of the body through the veins. This blood is first pumped to the lungs, where it receives fresh oxygen, and goes back to the heart, from which it is again passed out tto every part of the body through the arteries. After it has distributed its oxygen and other essential substances to the individual organs, it is collected into tiny vessels called capillaries. which feed it into the veins and thus back to the heart. *The essentials of the circulation of the blood were discovered In 1615 by William Harvey, an English physician. In the heart there is * series of chambers to let the Mood In andout, a procedure systematically controlled by a series of valves. The four chambers of the heart are the right and left ventricles and »the right and left auricles. The veins pour the blood into the right side of the heart, from which the ventricle pumps It out to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. It returns oxygenated from the lungs to the left side of the Heart, from which the left ventricle pumps it into the aorta or main artery, which distributes it through the arterial system throughout the body. There are thus four elements in heart action, the correct timing of which is controlled by a nerve "switchboard." Any trouble with | the nerve control or any of the' four chambrs or with the valves which keep the flow going la the proper direction can thus be a source of heart disease. The «i toost Important heart disease are rheamatjkt which may damage the vah» system; high blood pressure, wbfch may overload the heart; sclerosis or hardening of tba coronary arteries which supply bipod to the heart muscle itstit; syphilis, which especially affects the first party of the great artery, the aorta; subacute bacterial endocarditis, due to inflammation of the inner lining membrane and valves of the heart by a germ, streptococcus viridaiks, and congenital * dcffectB, meaning those existing at birth. Other conditions may damage the pericardium or outer covering of the heart. Thus certain diseases may cause damage, slight or great, to the heart. Among specific .heart conditions are angina pectoris, a pain in the chest which sometimes extends down the arm, and caused by interference with the blood supply to the heart muscle; coronary thrombosis or occlusion, caused by a clot of blood forming in a hardened artery to block off the flow of blood to the heart muscle^ myocarditis, or inflammation of the muscular walls of the heart, and chronic valvular disease of the heart. Various conditions can be responsidble for socalled heart murmurs, or Irregular heart beat, interruption of the blQod ato and from '.hp heart. Thus 'there are mar.v yapecific types of heart disease,' each 6f which is influenced by different factors. Heart disease can be reduoad. Let your doctor check yaur uc.rt so that it cannot check you.

SEHVlCt BOAIHW : Selective Service boards In the state of Illinois are now turning over to the respective /district attorneys in their areas names of all delinquents. Clerks have been ordered to present to their boards the names of all registrants who have been processed ad delinquents and who are now ready for submission to the United States attorney. "The matter of delinquents", said Colonel Paul O. Armstrong, "has had oui6 continuous attention. Since the Instructions were received to renew induction processes, we are quickly arriving at that point where many men will have to answer to the law for failure to comply with orders from their local boards."- At the beginning of the renewed activity. It was detremined to give all registrants a fair opportunity to present changes to their local boards where they had failed to keep them notified as required. Accordingly, Selective Service joards were advised to use every possible means to be sure that no one was charged with delinquency who could possibly be located and his file put in order. ,R<=rgular orderly processes are required before a, registrant can be charged vith delinquency. These processes, ake .a period of time measured in •reeks and every Selective Service oard is required to carry out the nil process of notices and invet • ligations before they may report the delinquency for prosecution. In the three months that Selective Fery'to hag .been in full operation, these pucesses have been building ip.

'The press and the radio have carried stories urging persons to adviMj their Selective Service board of changes in status. It has been the desire of Selective Service that no one be charged with delinquency a% long as there was a possibility of locating the registrants When the system went back Into full operation, tens of thousands of pieces of mail were r«rceived with changes of all types. This Information had to be sorted, analyzed, and recorded before delinquencies could be charged against registrants. This process has now been completed and just recently the Illinois state headquarters of Selective Service sent memorandum to all Selective Service boards urging the prompt and immediate nracesslng of all thosjB now found delinquent. All induction processes have now been caught up with and no further delays are anticipated As one last word of advice to registrants who have not complied with the requirements of the law to keep their Selective Service boards informed as to their status, Colonel Armstrong suggested that they quickly clear their record or they wiJ^ be in the hands of the law.' DUCK FLIGHT The big flights of ducks that began ' coming into Illinois* whin* wintry weather swept over their native grounds in the North the second week in November brought nearly a million and a half mallards, bluebilla and lesser varieties into the Illinois river valley, according to the state Department of Conservation. An aerial count by the state Natural History Survey found an estimated duck population spread out as follows: Go^se Pond and Lake Senachwinf near Putnam, 250,000 mallards; Rice Lake area and Duck Island near Banner, 310,000 mallards; Rice Pond, across from Chillicothe, Wildlife Refuge, 480,000 mallards; Crane Lake near Cuba Island, 100,- 000 mallards and 6,000 pintails; Pnoria Lake, 180,000 bluebllls; Woodford County area, 80,000 canvast) acks.
