ROAD SAVINGS During the first six months of Governor .Stratton's administration, rejection of excessive bids on road construction projects has saved the state $204,- 268. Edwin A. Rosenstone, director of the Department of Public Works and Buildings, said the savings was accrued on 24 projects in 23 Illinois counties. An indication of keener competition among contractors was evidenced in the five lettings this year, Rosenstone said. Bids averaged 3.61 per project as against 2,89 for 1952. Panleukopenla probably causes more cat deaths than any other disease. At any age, it attacks cats which have not been immunized or acquired immunity. The disease strikes suddenly; often resembles poisoning. Health Talks Safe Swimming Swimming is one of the moat relaxing and pleasant of all sports, yet more' tragedies are associated with this activity during the summer months when public pools, beachea. and lakes attract thousands of men, women and children, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in Health Talk. Apart from its relaxing effect, swimming la an excellent bodybuilder. It not only provides mental relaxation and muscular strength and resiliency than really exists. For this reason, swimming and exercise in supervised pools have proved of great therapeutic value in rehabilitation, particularly in such conditions as poliomyelitis and arthritis. Swimming, oij thfe other hand, n be dangerous. Not all eaths and accidents attributed to this sport are in non-swimmers. Excellent swimmers have developed leg cramps which incapacitat^^ fcem, frequently resulting in death by drowning. Proficient swimmers, too, have lost their lives when a practical joker has thrust them, still clothed, into the water. A practical Joker Is a social nuisance at all times, but particularly so when his victim is at a disadvantage. A dangerous practical joke is pushing or ducking others into the water. In a young child this can inspire a . fear of water which, frequently, cannot be overcome. And tragic results can stem from being held forcibly under the water too long. Everyone should learn to s&im. The knowledge is also a safety device and a life-saving measure if a person is involved in a water accident of some kind, such as an up-turned canoe or '8 Central Garage FRED J.

Children should be taught to swim early in life. They should not be permitted to play in the water or swim alone, but should bl under constant supervision by an adult who knows how to swim. Neither should children be allowed to stray off to lsikes, beaches or pools by themselves. Accidental falls into even shallow water have taken lives of tiny tot». Swimming can be fun, but there are some conditions that can develop if proper precautions are not taken. For example, children and older people who are subject to ear difficulties should swim only with their physician's permission. No one with a discharging ear or a perforated eardrum should attempt to swim. Violent nose blowing to remove water should be avoided. These precautions may prevent a permanent hearing toss. Swim in safe .places. Be sure the Water is free of contamination and pollution. Don't leave yourself open to infectioh. From a standpoint of health, water in which one bathes should be just as free from disease germs as the water one drinks. Don't dive into unknown waters. Hidden stumps and rocks have resulted in broken necks. Don't overdo. Don't try for the shore across the lake the first time out. Take it easy. As in everything else, use moderation and good sense. Avoid swimming when chilled, overheated or exhausted. Learn to swim. Teach your child to swim. Then be careful. Let the sport give you the enjoyment it affords, as well as exercise and relaxation. Don't be an accident statistic. Swim safely so that you can return again and again to one of the favorite of all outdoor aports. Cloth-Covered Brick ^ Big Help In Sewing "Once you've used a ?«ewtflg brick, you'll never want to sew without one," promise students in clothing construction laboratories at the University of Illinois home economics department. The bricks used In the classes are building bricks that have been covered with material. Heavy, firmly woven material is best. The material is shaped to the brick like a neat package and then tacked. Students pin their fabric to the cloth covering to anchor the work and keep it firm while they pin hems or other construction lines. Not having to "fight" their material makes sewing a pleasure instead of a strain. Students are encouraged to sit up straight and to keep their work flat on the table, not in their laps. This prevents seams from stretching and grainlines from pulling out of place. It also saves Aerves and helps to prevent tired, aching; backs. REMEMBER TO ^ PACK REPELLENT f ^ FOR VACATIONS When you're packing for your vacation trip or getting Junior ready for a few weeks at summer camp, remember the insect repellent. Insect bites not only! can be unpleasant and irritating, but also' can lead to serious infections. Most repellents work best when they are applied directly to the skin. They are safe to use Ihmsdiy.
