Admission charges were made at Illinois Beach, White Pines Forest, Mississippi Palisades, Starved Rock, Mathiessen, Pere Marquette, and Grand Marais state parks again this year under legislation set up in 1953. Beginning next April 1, under legislation established by the 70th General Assembly, admission charges will be extended to all parks of more than 100 acres in size and season windshield stickers costing $2 will- be offered in a program expected to produce much needed funds for permanent improvements to the heavily-used Illinois parks system.

INCREASED RADIOACTIVITY State health department officials have reported an increase in atmospheric radioactivity in the Springfield area during the recent period July 29 through Aug. 2. During this period, radioactivity in the atmosphere increased to a maximum of 50 times that which is considered normal for this region. In releasing the announcement, Dr. Roland R. Cross, state health director, said, "while a 50 fold increase is a significant one we .must remember that it would require an increase of more than 1,000 times the normal level of activity before any effect on the health of the population could be expected." An increase in radioactivity was also reported from samples of water collected from the Illinois river system earlier in July. Health officials pointed out that these increases were below the maximum permissible limits for drinking water.

Mrs. Barbara Lawrence passed away at her home in Ringwood Sept. 6, at the age of 85 years. She had been jU only one day. Word has been received of the death of Mrs. Lydia Bremer, a former resident of this vicinity Illinois will save about $150,000 a biennium by having all motor vehicle license plates made of lightweight steel for 1958 and 1959, Secretary of State Charles F. Carpentier said this week. In recent years, about 1,500,000 sets of passenger car plates were made of aluminum to take advantage of lower mailing costs for the lighter weight, he explained. The aluminum plates cost 33.7 cents a set, as compared with the Hemp and company bid of 27.4 cents a set for the lightweight steel, Secretary Carpentier said. The steel plates can now be mailed at the same cost as the aluminum ones, so the reduced material cost can.be fully realized, Mr. Carpentier said. Mailing expense is ag increasingly important factor in the overall cost of the license plate operation, as more plates go through the mail each year, Secretary Carpentier said. Annual motor 'vehicle registration has increased more than half a million since Mr. Carpentier took office early in 1953, going from 2,940,078 in 1952 to 3,545,365 5ih 1956 and is expected to show a gain for 1957 of between 3 and 5 percent. The effort has been consistently and successfully made to keep the mailing cost of .passenger car plates in the fourth class eightcent bracket, rather than letting it move into the. next higher bracket of 23 cents, Mr. Carpentier said. - This can still be done and at the same time reduce the cost of next year's purple and white plates, Siecretary Carpentier said.

SHOP AT HOME Flies Launching Annual Seige ; 4 ;vkv,- There's no doubt that' flies *a||* one of nature's most persistent pests. But the damage they do to your disposition is just one resultw of their many varied activities. - Before the fall is over, your livestock will be besieged by literally thousands of hornflies, stableflies, horseflies and the like. By biting and by sucking blood, flies tower productivity and can even transmit diseases. The common housefly, though a non-biter, is capable of spreading filth and disease organisms.^ It also serves as an intermediatcJP host foF some internal parasites. Dr. N. D. Levine of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine says that an example of .serious ailments resulting indirectly from flies is anaplasmosis o^ cattle. This disease is cdused by a tiny parasite spread by horseflies and other blood-sucking insects, as well as by unsterilized dehorners and vaccinating needles.^ Once this 'parasite gets into an animal's bloodstream, it destroys the red blood cells, causes anemia, fever, labored rapid breathing, loss of appetite, pale yellowish • skin color, reduced milk production and general weakness. Dr. Levine says that there is no ireventive vaccine ' or sure cure br the disease. Up to 50 percent , of oldef animals infected with anaplasmosis die from it. However^ veterinarians can sometimes save infected animals by treating them with whole blood and various anti- , biotics if called soon enough.
