WALTER E. WINN NAMED TO BOARD OF DAIRY COUNCIL An announcement from Syracuse, N. Y., a few days ago told of the election of Walter E. Winn, president of the Pure Milk association, Chicago, to be the board of directors of the National Dairy Council. Mr. Winn is well known in the Spring Grove community, where he farms. He has been a member of the board of directors of the Pure Milk association continuously since 1935. He served as its president this past year and was treasurer of the organisation for nine years previously. Mr. Winn is now servingas a director on the board of the Chicago Milk Foundation and is a member of the executive committee of the board of directors of the National Milk Producers Federation. that cause accidents, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points , out in a HEALTH TALK. Falls are responsible tor the greatest number of tragedies. A staircase cluttered with toys or kitchen equipment is one menace. Small rugs on waxed floors plide When stepped on. Electric cords lying loosely on the floor trip the unobservant passerby. A wobbly chair used instead of a ladder often collapses under weight Electrical equipment is responsible for occasional death of many small children and even adults. Be sure all connections are tight and; covered and that wire insulation is not broken or worn off. Electrocution often occurs when small wet hands touch an appliance, or poke into wallplugs. The hazard is great in the laundry or bathroom where a ground connection is accidentally established. Poisons are common in the home in the form of roach powder, lye, antiseptics, cleaning fluid, moth balls, or the left-over stuff in the medicine cabinet. Keep them out of children's reach, and separate from food. A child's natural curiosity should be encouraged, for that is on* way h« develops, but the farent must guide his curiosity away from dangerous objects. Scissors, knives, razor bladeB and needles should be kept out of his reach. Wait till he is older before entrusting the youngster with too tnuch responsibility in handling these objects. Suffocation la a frequent cause of death in young children. Babies become entangled in soft pillows or bedding in their cribs or buggies. The gas stove offers several dangers; asphyxiation by gas from a leaky burner, burns from the flare of an oven filled with fcas, or blast injuries from explosions. Keep the burners clean and the keys working rather stiffly. When you light an oven, the doors shouldr be kept open and the match lighted and ready before the fuel is turned on. Unfortunately, many accidents to young children must be blamed on the parent The mother wh leaves the handle of a pot on the kitchen stove protruding over the edge of the stove Instead of toward the back of the range Is careless, for children grasp such handles and upset boiling kettles on themselves, sometimes fatally. Education in safety should be started early in life. Babies like to put objects in their mouths. Marbles and other small toys should therefore be kept away from very small children. The older child should be taught to put his toys away. A marble or a toy may be the cause of a severe fall, not only for the child, but for the adult. Every parent Bhould be constantly alert to Improve the safety of the home. Carpeting should be checked regularly for tears, handrails should be a part of every «tatrway; brooms, mops and other handle equipment should be stored, in closets and not left standing in corners. A child should not be left alone In a bathtub, even for a moment A small child can drown In shallow water. Parents will be wise to remember that most deaths from accidents occur in children from 1 to 14 years of age. With the very young, particularly, great care must be exercised to be ever vigilant to the danger of the child's curiosity.^ Accidents can be prevented. Awareness and forethought and patient teaching will do much to keep happiness instead ol|r«$edy in tiie home. Hobbles For Healtfe e compulsory retirement plans tor industry today pose a problem for the millions of people reaching older age. Many of the persons face a rather empty future, for it is difficult to stop suddenly the mental and physical machinery that has been geared to business competition, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a HEALTH TALK. Taken away from his job, whether it be manual or mental, the individual findls too many hourB in the day and too much time to do nothing. Wise is the person who foresees this Inactivity by preparing himself with an avocation. It is not good to lose Interest and a satisfying hobby will not only keep curiosity and zest alive, but very often will create a field of financial return. Age is more or legs an individual problem just as it is a normal growth pattern. Many persons at thirty suggest physical and mental characteristics of aging. Others at seventy may reveal a wrinkled skin which is offset bf a sprightly walk and a mental agllTty. Preventive medicine, through its control of many diseases that formerly took lives, is responsible for extending the life span. Today there are mor* than nineteen million people over 55 years of age. With a greater aging, population, new factors develop for their care because this group faces*such degenerative diseases as high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, cancer and arthritis. Heart disease in its various forms leadta the list. Just as the specialty of pediatrics developed for the care of the growing child, so the specialty of geriatrics came into being for the medical problems of the older person. The development of those conditions may slow up a person in advancing years, but age itself is not a delllitating factor. Again, certain physical changes are natural sequences. Muscles and chest become smaller and the waistline larger. The skin loses its elasticity and tends to wrinkle and to develop certain types of spots and moles. Hair is apt to become gray and thinner. In some individuals, mental deterioration is evident Because modern medicine is responsible for more of us "growing old," it will also establish a means for caring for the conditions peculiar to old age. geriatrics is rapidly becoming an expanding field for study and research. Perhaps one Of the greatest problems of growing olet is the feeling that one is no longer needed, that usefulness is over. Everyone wants to be a contributing power, whether it be in business, the home or the community. The end of a long life of service and activity needs a compensatory substitute. That is why the development of a hobby is encouraged. Accept the challenge of retirement by getting ready for it now. Maybe the younger years are the more productive ones, but wisdom and experience come with emotional maturity and1 there is great satisfaction in pursuit of an interest that will keep you happy mentally, and occupied physically. If your hobby is saleable you will again be gainfully employed.

Some 100,000 wild gee«e are wintering In and around four refuges In southern Illinois this season, an increase of some 400 per cent since 1946. This re-m port comes from the state Department of Conservation following an airplane survey of the Illinois and lower Wabash river valleys, and that portion of the Mississippi river valley bordering our state. Joe B. Davidson, head of the department's game management division, said that except for a concentration of about 50,0Q0 birds in flooded cornfields on the Mermet refuge, not many ducks seen.
