Gospel Chnrch Xews The change to daylight saving time last Sunday did not help the attendance in our Sunday school. We have often wondered why out of the seven days in the week, the first day should be selected for a change, which never fails to cause confusion and delay. Must we believe that the days of reverence and respect for sacred and holy things are coming to an end in our beloved land? „ Miss" Siva Swanson, missionary to the Belgian Congo, was the speaker in the evening. It was a farewell service for her, as she is leaving this Saturday for Belgium to pursue language studies. For ntxt Sunday, May 6, we are glad to announce the coming of Miss Marge Kott of Harrisburg^, Pa. Miss Kott is one of those who took a very active part in the work at the Gospel Church from the very beginning.

Phone McHenry 411-R The skull and crossbones on the iodine bottle has become a familiar symbol Of danger in most households, bat the National Safety Council warns that there are many unlabeled poison killers in every home that are commonly thought to be harmless. The Council lists these common household substances which have claimed many lives, principally among children because they are not always repelled by an objectionable taste or odor: Kerosene--one of the commonest causes of poison deaths among children. Sleeping tablets--usually contain a derivative of barbituric acid, and In Mfficieot quantity can be fatal. V Rat, bug and fungus poisonssuch poisons usually contain highly dangerous chemicals. Caustic cleaners--ammonia, lye washing sbda and trisodium phosphate cause dangerous membrane burns when taken internally. Paint thinners and removers-- most are harmful if swallowed, including linseed oil. tung oil, turpentine, banana oil, acetone, alcohols, benzine and others. Extracts and flavorings -- the strong alcohol solutions make these dangerous, although oil of wintergreen and oil of peppermint are basitally poisonous. Antiseptics and disinfectants-- these include tincture of iodine, cresol preparations (usually sold under a trade name), phenol or carbolic kcid, bichloride of mercury, ammoniated mercury, potassium permanganate, hydrogen preoxide, etc. Laxatives and cough syrups-- not all are harmful, but to be safe they should never be left within the reach of children. Alcohols -- beverages, i^ibbing compounds and special substances such as adhesive tape removera are dangerous. New Classified Ads Appear, pit Ads Disappear. 'Reason •: Quick Results >. Pearson Reports Our district had some extra representation in the legislature lasjt week when a large group of Lake and McHenry county dairy farmers, including Robert Paddock, son of the Wauconda senator. came down to hear debate on the oleo bill. They get my vote of thanks for their applause when I suggested the margarine people might try to popularize another color for oleo besides butter-yellow. The debate goes on next week. Other visitors to Springfield included M Turnquist and Q. E. Casper of Boone county and Lee Cornwell of McHenry county, who attended an annual meeting of township officials. t I want to acknowledge here a lot of letters--about 3.000 of them, in fact, dealing with the so-call dog bill. Naturally, I can't answer all of thent. But I want to explain that this proposal -- to turn over stray dogs for medical research-- is not yet in its final form. It may | I'ith killed the bill then and there. Before that dispute could be settled, the meeting broke up and *he decision went oyer to this week. * RECOMMEND EARL? MATURING HYBRID FOR LATE PLANTING If you're forced to plant corn late--after May 25--due to a late spring, you'd be wise to plant an early maturing hybrid, says G. H. Dugan, University of Illinois agronomist. According to 1950 field tests, the yield is likely to be higher and the maturity of the grain is almost sure to be better. * Here are the average yields for Illinois 1091A, a short -season hybrid: U. s. 13, a mid-season corn; and Illinois 784, a full-season hy- - brid, at Urbana on various pljinteT| ,nK dHtes "a** year. ^ The average of all three hybrids for May 3 planting was 121 bushels: for May 11. 110 .bushels: May 17, 111 bushels: May 26, 112 bushbe improved by amendment within e_ ls: June 2. 1~0~2~ bushels; and the next few days, and I'm not Ju°* 12' 81 bu8he,s . , . • • Tnia »oo committed on it one way or the This was the first time during other until it's in shape for pass- years of this test that age 'he yield from the first planting Several of us in the legislature was distlnctly higher than later had a chance last week to see a *an n*s demonstration of how heavy truck loads affect concrete pavements. The state highway department and the federal public roads administration set up this exhibit andt explained how more truck axles to spread the load would' <riit down damage to highways. To our surprise, it was shown that fast-moving trucks actually do less damage than slow ones^-- simply because they spend less time on each individual /pavement block. The equal-pay-for-vromen bill should be voted out this week by the house industry committee which has been holding hearings on it since late in January. When the opposition wound: up its testimony last Wednesday, the committee was evenly split on recommending the bill, which I sponsored with nine other legislators. Because the vote was that close, I objected to inclusion of several "proxy" votes that would have Gfo.

And the big advantage of mid-season planting--about M.iy 20-23--is to cut down damage from corn borers. When borers are high, corn planted very early will be severely injured by .borers, stalks will break badly, 4nd yields will be loWi Reasons for early planting are that stalks stand better than those from later plantings, because early-planted corn does not grow as tall as late-planted corn. Moisture content iB likely to be low«r at harvest time and early plantings show more resistance to stalk breaking. TIPS TO MOTOKtStS FOR STRETCHING GAS MILEAGE ON TRIPS Here's a tip for motorists who •Want to stretch gas mileage on jthat long-awaited vacation trip. And who doesn't! The Chicago Motor club says the methods used by the expert drivers in the 1951 Grand Canyon economy run point the way to better mileage for all motorists. In this contest, strictly supervised by the American Automobile association, ordinary stock cars are driven over a rugged 840-mile course from downtown Lot Angeles to Grand Canyon. This year the cars averaged 24 miles to the gallon. The sweepstakes winner got twenty-five and one half, while some of the lighter cars did thirty or better. How do they do it? Well, here's what Les Viland, pilot of the sweepstakes-winning car baa to say: • "In modern cars, drivers often go up to 70 or 80 miles an hour without realising it -- and there goes your gas mileage!" Besides maintaining an average speed of 40 miles an hour or so, the economy drives are careful to get off to a smooth, gentle start that uses a minimum of gas; and when they have to 'stop, they let up on the accelerator well ahead of time. Summing up the methods developed in this contest, the Motor club advises four major ways you can get better fuel efficiency from your own car: 1. Have timing and carburetor adjusted for better performance; even new cars often are not properly set. 2. Don't punch down on the accelerator; a light, steady touch la the way to save gas. 3. Anticipate stops. Let up on your gas pedal early; time your speed to avoid stopping at lights whenever possible. 4. On a steep upgrade, shift promptly to second when the engine starts to labor.
