Have you tasted the delicious Italian spaghetti dinners Nona Vertucci has beern serving at Wally'8 every Wednesday and Friday nights? The proceeds will Lightning is not the most important accident killer by far-- about 300 deaths a year--but because of its ripping power; its noise and its blinding flash it has held a fearsome aspect for man through the ages. To understand it better, the National Safety Council offers these facts: Lightning' is chiefly a rural problem, fes far * as individual protection is concerned. Ninetenths of the fatalities and injuries occur in rural areas or in outlying districts where buildings are isolated and relatively small. Avoid High Places , High places are the most dangerous. If you must remain outside a shelter, find a gully, a cave or the base of a cliff. Second best is a grove of trees, if care is taken not to stand under the tallest one. Avoid hilltops, isolated trees and lone buildings. - An ordinary house in a settled district is relatively safe, since there usually are higher structures nearby and the network of plumbing and wiring in a house provides some protection. It is a good idea, however, to Stay away from large metal objects in a house, especially if they are connected to the outside by wires. But don't think that lightning never strikes the same place twice. Wherever lightning strikes, there is a possibility that it may strike again because certain conditions at that spot may offer a speeial attraction. The Public Service Company of Northern Illinois recently was recogniced for its long time support of 4-H club work. Dean H. P. Rusk of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, Urbana, and G. L. Noble, director of national committee or girls and boys club work, Chi- 1 cago, each presented a plaque anc citation to the company. Britton I. Budd, Company Vice Chairman, accepted the plaque. Presentation was made at Canii Shaw-Waw-Nas-See, northeastern Illinois district 4-H camp neai Kankakee Present were execu tives of the company, staff mem bers of the College of Agricul ture, and 4-H'ers from Mcrtenry. Will. Lee and Boone counties attending the camp. Camp . Shaw-Waw-Nas-See occupies sevetity-five acres of lane' which was a gift from the company in 194 is.. .Other contributions by the company to 4-H club work include sponsorship of dist- 4-H leader meetings, special farm electric and safety programs and University and camping scholarships, The company also has cooperated with the University of Illinois in research on proper ases of electricity and safety. In presenting the plaque on behalf of the extension servide of the college and the 4-H clubs. Dean Rusk said: "Outstanding in Illinois is the wide range of 4-H activities which 4he Public Service company has -generously supported. "The 4-H boys and girls of Illinois are especially indebted to the company for the gift of this beautiful Shaw-Waw-Nas-See camp site, and for generous financial support in the development of this camp and the White Eagle camp in the northwestern part of the state. "The 4-H camping program in Illinois provides something more than just wholesome recreation for boys and girls. It is the most effective facility we have been able to devise for stimulating the interest of young people in the blessings of democracy and' in their individual responsibilities in a democratic society." The dean also commended the company for the many years of mutually helpful cooperation of the vice-chairman and the key men of that organization with both research and extension personnel at the College of Agriculture and with farm organization. In responding, Vice-Chairman Budd said, "We have always been keenly aware of our responsibilities to rural youth and, as evidenced by our growing agricultural activity, we are continually increasing our efforts in that direction. "Having electricity available is one thing. Knowing how to use it intelligently and profitably is another. Teaching these things to 4-H club members is a constant challenge--a challenge which the University of Illinois is helping us to meet with knowledge and enthusiasm."

The jrerma are particularly preVetant aroundi /arms. **• *• f t Toxoid Gives Immunity, ' , j - In the face of this ever present danger, medical scientists have developed two effective preventives, tetanus toxoid and tetanus antitoxin. The toxoid causes an active and rather long immunity. The anti-toxin is given to a person .after he receives an injury likely 1 to result in tetanus to stave off' .the disease. * K>• 4 , United States armed fortes, durinjr World War II, required all their personnel to have the toxnid. injections upon induction, and in case of injuries gave "booster injections. As a result it was reported that tetanus was almost eliminated as a cause of death during the war. 4 Because .the germs of tetanus are deposited in the soil from the excreta of animals which eat vege- , table foods, farmers and persons who work in close contact with animals must particularly guard against this disease. vt 1 j > The manure of the barn, soil'of barnyards, vegetable gardens, pastures and agricultural implements are often heavily laden with tetanus germs. This makes for an ever present danger to the farmer. > Children Endangered «1 r Children whose play keeps them close to contaminated soil and prone to minor cuts and scratches are also threatened to a greater degree than adults in similar localities. In a recent study of 68 cases of tetanus in children it was found that 60 per cent of the injuries leading to the disease were mere cuts or scratches, many involving cases where there were no apparent injuries. •> 1 ^ . a The only logical way to combat tetanus is to prevent it.

That jras the conclusion of the National Safety Council after its figures for 19'50 showed that in one out or every five fatal traffic accidents the driver or pedestrian had been drinking. The 1951 edition of the Council's statistical y e a r b o ok, "Accident Facts," states that 17 per cent of the drivers involved in fatal accidents and 22 per cent of the adult pedestrians killed in motor vehicle accidents had bgen drinking. ' ' Vi Thiartdty, Augost 1 Going MetiepsWtsa : One-quarter of the people of the United States are now rated as metropolitan, living in the urban* ized areas of the nation's 12 big* gest cities with populations of * million or more, according to pre* iiminary figures issued by thcC bureau of the Census. Together these 12 urbanizedareas have a population of djeafly 38 million. The New York-North-eastern New Jersey area first with combined popula* tion of over 12 million, followed in order by Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, San Francisco-Oakland, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cleveland, Washington aad Baltimore. Sterling Alloy "Sterling* is a silver alloy containing 4 to 6 per cent of copper. It is strong enough to be used in articles made of "solid silver." The pure metal is very soft, but does have better resistance to corrosion than sterling silver. To give strength and low cost pure silver is plated electrically on brass, pewter, etc. This makes a very thin coating, usually only two or three thousandths of an inch m thickness. Since the exposed coating, in such plated articles, is actually pure silver. It is less likely to tarnish sterling.

Subscribe for The Plaindealer A warning to college students that they are responsible for having their scholastic standing reported to their Selective Service local boards before Aug. 20, if they wish to be considered for deferment from induction into the Armed Forces, has been issued by Colonel Paul G. Armstrong, Selective Service director for Illinois. Some students evidently have the mistaken impression that colleges will automatically supply the necessary certification to local boards, Colonel Armstrong said. He emphasized that the students themselves must initiate this action by getting three copies of SSS Form No. 109 from any local board and delivering them to the college with the request that they be filled out and the certificate sent at once to the student's own local board. Cblonel Armstrong added that deferred persons remain liable for military service until they reach the age of 35. National Pai Visitor, to national -ark areas, during the travel year ending September 1949, totaled 31,846,180, exceeding the 1948 figure by more than' 2,000,000.

Butter Sales Increase Despite forebodings of dairymen that the repeal of Federal taxes and ether restrictions on margarine would reduce butter consumption, sales have actually increased since the act went into effect on July 1, 1950. Cotton for Cots More than 41,000 bales of lint cotton and 61,000 bales of cotton linters will be required by the Army, Air Force and Navy in 1951 for bedding. The Defense Department indicated that this material will be used to produce bed tickings, ntattress felts and covers, pillows, pillow cases and covers, and sheets. It is estimated that mattress felts will consume the entire 61,000 bales of cotton linters and waste, while bed ticking and mattress covers are expected to use 15,000 bales of lint cotton. PillowS, pillow cases and covers will require about 2,000 bales of lint cotton and sheets will consume the remaining 24,000 bales. Nearly 52- million yards of cotton fabric are expected to be required for these items. Of the total number of square yards, approximately 31 million will be needed in sheets; 18 million in bed tickings and mattress covers; and three million in pillows, pillow cases and covers.

Each individual, however, has the primary responsibility in preparing against polio. 1 ^ ^ Much remains toJ>e learned about prevention of polio, so precautions against this disease are, for the most part, rules of community Sanitation and good personal hygiene that should be followed even in the "absence of a polio threat. r- J Precautions f . r - Your food and water should b« obtained only from safe sources. Overfatigue should be avoided. Shun crowded places, especially indoors. # 1 Flies, mice, rats and other disease carrying vermin should be eradicated and kept out of your home. Don't travel in areas where there are many polio cases. 1 Avoid swimming in insanitary pools. If there is polio in an area, don't swim in ponds, rivers, lakes or other natural waters. Postpone nose, throat and dental operations until the polio season has passed except in cases of eraer-. gency. * Seldom Fatal Polio is very seldom fatal and results in permanent crippling in relatively few cases. In less than 50 per cent of the paralyzing cases do patients suffer damaging after-effects. Crippling which results in few cases can be corrected often by surgery or other treatment. Prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment of polio offers the greatest chance of complete recovery. , It is up to parents to keep a careful watch on their children during the summer polio season to note as soon as possible any possible polio symptoms. I These are varied and not always easily recognized. The best "rule of thumb" is to con?ult your doctor immediately if your child shows any signs of illness, nausea or stiffness, f Although polio is not as serious •as we were once led to believe, it is still a potential threat not to be minimized. ' Follow the dictates of good sense and practice good hygiene. These arc the best known preparations against polio./ - Coal Supply According to a recent report, issued by the U. S. Geological Survey, somewhat over 24,000,000,000 tons of bituminous coal have already been produced in the United States, while of what remains more than 616,300,000,000 tons are still recoverable, assuming 50 per cent recovery of these reserves. With all kinds, that is, bituminous, subbituminous, ' lignite, anthrqfte and semi-anthracite, nearly 30.TO0,- 000,000 tons have been mined while over 1,200,000,000,000 tons are still capable of recovery. If our use ef coal continued at the same average annual rate as between 1940 and 1950, this would last until tha year 3563.
