Inflammations, injuries and cancer may involve the thyroid gland, but normal body processes are influenced most frequently by improper activity of the gland itself. Underactivity or overactivity of the gland alters the balance of body metabolism causing some conditions which, frequently. are difficult to overcome, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a health talk. The thyroid gland is located in the lower front portion of the neck. It consists of two lobes on either side of the midline of the neck which are connected in a butterfly shaped arrangement overlying the trachea or windpipe. The thyroid is well supplied with blood vessels and appears to go through recurring cycles of secretion, resting and recuperation. The secretions, or hormones, influence the rate of metabolism in body cells necessary for normal growth and development. Iodine is the important constituent of the thyroid hor- £«w. ory, **f Wttfcta coarse, the hair brittle and Mare*. may increase. The opposite condition is known as hyperthyroidism, or overactivity of the gland.' The affected person will show increasing nervousness and loss of weight but also a physical drive beyond his strength. -There ftiay be a noticeable enlargement of the thyroid gland. Because th glandular sthicture of the entire body balance is closely integrated, it is important that any abnormality of the thyroid be corrected. Some persons who do not respond to medical management may have to yield to surgical correction. Proper and adequate care are important in helping the metabolic action of the body to ratuntto a normal level.

Ackerson of Mineral linings, McHenry, senior vice- < mmandfer of the Department of I r.uis, United Spanish War Vet- Waldo B. Ames, state Chamber president, said that Illinois citizens last year paid out a total of almost $102 million as their share of federal assistance programs, but only a little more than $59 million came back in the form of benefits to Illinois recipients. Included in t^e program® are: Old age assistance for which Illinois received $39 million but paid $68 million; Federal aid to dependent children of which $17 million was received but $26 million paid; Federal grants for the permanently and totally disabled of which Illinois received $1.6 million at a cost of $4.5 million; Aid to the blind through which Illinois received $1.6 million at a cost of $2.5 million. Ames said that price inflation and growth in the aged population are two factors adding to the rising cost of public assistance. but he said another very important factor is "the repeated liberalization of the federal matching formula." He said the final answer to the problem is that the federal government, after expansion of the present social security program, excuse itself from handling the old age and dependent children assistance, thus turning over to The thyroid plays an important role in the development of the brain during the first few weeks of life and has a definite influence on intelligence and emotions. Skin, hair and nails grow more slowly when thyroid secretions are deficient; this factor has also a relationship to the normal growth of bones and muscles. The thyroid is involved, too, in the development of the reproductive glands and their function. - The thyroid gl&nd regulates the rate of energy exchange and oxygen consumption, which is a part of normal body metabolism. In this manner it influences the heart and circulation. The hormone significantly increases the pulse rate, expands the total circulation and increases the tone and work of the heart. Excesses of thyroid hormone produces changes in muscular activity, varying from slight weakness to marked wasting. The thyroid influences the storage of water, salt and protein and is a powerful agent in aiding the elimination of water through the kidneys. Thyroid abnormalities may be accompanied by a deficit of temperature regulation; overactivity with its high level of heat production makes the patient uncomfortable in the summer, while underactivity causes discomfort in cold weather. In the adult, thyroid deficiency j is known as hypothyroidism or i myxedema. The patient slows ur What method do you use for sifting flour? Some of the sifters now on the market are made so that flour can be sifted directly into the measuring cup. While this method is easy and convenient, it may not always give you an^ accurate measurement. Foods specialist Pearl Janst>en of the University of Illinois say$ sifting flour directly into thd cup gives about 2 tablespoons less flour per cup than sifting and then transferring it mto the cup. Flour tends to repack whten spooned into the cup, causing the cup to hold more. Recipes are usually based on the method of sifting flour before transferring it to the measuring cup. „ This difference of two tablespoons per cup would not have much effect on plain cakes or muffins, but it might be detrimental to tender angel cakes or very rich cakes, causing: them to fall. For these especially delicate cakes, Mrs. Janssen suggests either adding two tablespoons of flour per cup of sifted floOT If you sift directly into the cup or sifting the flour before transferring It to the measuring cup. Services were held over the holiday weekend for Mrs. Nancy Ann Ketchum, 80. of Lakemoor, who died last Thursday morning at her home. Born in 1873, she came to the Crystal Lake area in 1919.

SAYS EXPERT The dairy industry must be ready to help itself to increase sales and reduce surpluses rather than to depend upon government, Charles B. Shuman, president of the Illinois Agricultural association, said in Chicago recently. Speaking at a dairy promotional meeting at the St. Clair hotel, Shuman compared the marketing problem between butter arid eggs. "In December, 1950, government supports were removed from eggs because of the problem of surpluses. At that time, prices to the farmer were about 70 per cent of parity," Shuman said. "Consumption per person in the United States was 386 eggs k_year in 1950. After supports were removed, both the .price to farmer and the per capita consumption increased each year. In 19&3 the price averaged 99 per cent of parity and consumption stood at 397 per person,", the IAA president said. "If it can happen with eggs, it can happen with butter and other dairy products," he pointed out. Aside from releaving the surplus problem, Shuman said, increased consumption would benefit public health, get the government out of the dairy business and possibly reduce government spending. "The dairy industry must stand on its own feet, direct vigorous sales campaigns, and compete for the consumers' food dollar on the open market without relying on government supports and controls to bolster the dairy farmer's Income," Shuman said. "I believe that when the price of a product remains rigid under government support, it stifles consumption. The consumer must be able to feel that she is getting the most flbr her food dollar, and to do that she must be able to take advantage of sales and feel that the price reflects production and demand -- not set by government supports," Shuman said, Funeral Riles Held F« r ^ , The main p r o b l e m i s to d i s - t A# 4IIA fliimlim dftirv nro* Mrs. Nancy Ketchum, 80 ducts, Shuman said. We should do it in this country, if possible. If thi£ is not possible, we should sell these products to Russia or her satellite countries at competitive prices, he declared. Sales of dairy product* to these countries would not . involve critical materials, he said. "Selling these dairy products to .Russia and these other natiohs might actually help promote peace," Shuman concluded. COUNTY FAIR Plans are now under ^ray to have a beauty contest in connection with the county fair. State Representative A. B. McConnell of Woodstock has ,kindly consented to be in charge. Each town in the county will be invited to enter a candidate between the ages of 17 and 22. The county winner will be selected on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 5, by professional judges. This event will be open only to the candidates and the' mayor or president of the sponsoring service club from her town. After the selection, the group will be guests of the Fair association at a dinner, with Rep. McConnell as host. From the dinner the group will parade to the fairgrounds, where the winner will be announced and crooned by Mr. McConnell and the 1952 queen, Pat Mc- Farlin, of Harvard. The new queen will receive the county fair queen trophy which is now in possession of Miss Mc- Farlin. A float will be Ottered in the Harvard. Milk Day parade. The theme of 100 years ago will be carried out because in 1854 the first county fair was held. In this same connection, a whisker growing contest will be held, with growth encouraged after June 25. Final plans have been approved for a livestock auction to be held Sunday morning, Aug. 8, at the fairgrounds for junior exhibitors who wish to * sell any animals they have shown. This will include dairy, beef, hogs and sheep. Mrs. Clara Grant, 61 Buried Monday Morning Mrs. Clara Grant, 65, of Lakemoor died at Shan-gra-la home last Friday, May 28.
