Thursday, July 27, 1961 THE McHENBV PLAINDEALER Twice Told Tales TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Taken from the Files || of July 9, 1936 'With no relief in sight" is the promise of the weather forcaster, inhabitants of McHenry entered the second day of the record breaking heat wave Wednesday, with temperatures ranging in the vicinity of the 105 degree mark in the shade. While the mid-west sweltered over the week-end of July 4, ]\lcHenry, as well as Chicago, ! given relief by the lake breeze which made the weather perfect, was given relief by the wind shifted to the south and west, bringing in the devastating heat wave which will ravage the crops in this vicinity unless immediate relief comes in rain. ' Jobbers entered the McHenry Ice Cream cdmpany -plant, owned by C. Unti, about 3(J0 a.m. Sunday and loaded 'the ton safe, containing currency estimated at between $300 ;and $400 and books and records of the company, onto the new GMC truck owned by the company and hauled it away. Watchman at the Legion carnival nearby saw the truck pull away from the factory and believed it was Unti making an e§u~ly morning delivery. The t&ek and opened safe were found on the Lilja farm on U.S. 14, four miles east of Woodstock Sunday night. The safe had been opened with an acetylene torch and all the money removed but other contents were untouched. "Come On You!" There's going to be a big "pep" meeting at the high school tonight.

Page-Five Q. How can I remedy ingrown toenails? A. Heat a small piere of mutton tallow in the bowl of a spoon, hold over a lamp until hot, and pour on the sore place as much as possible between the nail and flesh. It will give instant relief, and one application often cures. If not, repeat the process. Let the nail grow even with the end of the toe and cut across, and ingrowing nails will be a thing of the past. Q. How can I improve the appearance of an extremely stained and discolored bathtub? A. Use a mixture of ereani of tartar and peroxide. Stir in enough peroxide to make a paste and scrub the tub vigorously, using a small, stiff brush. The result will be gratifying. • Q. How can I tighten a screw that has become loosened in its hole? A. Insert a wooden match or toothpick into the screwhole, and then replace the screw. Q. What is a good "homemade" mixture to use for removing old wallpaper from the walls? A. Mix up a quart of flour paste, add it to a pail of piping hot water. Swash this over the wall and let it soak in. Being thick, it won't dry very quickly, which gi\< s you time to scrape the paper off. Q. How can I repair holes in plastered walls, at the same time eliminating the necessity of repaintine the entire room? A. Try adding some food coloring to your patching plaster, mixing the colors to blend in with the walls as nearly as possible. Q. How can I facilitate the job of laundering . very dirty curtains? A. A half-cup of salt added to the water in which the curtains are being soaked loosens the dirt more rapidly and aids materially in the laundering process. Q. How can I make a good and handy cement for broken dishes? A. / Melt some powered alum in a spoon over a gas flame. While this is still soft, rub the melted alum over the edges of the two pieces you \Vtmf to stick together, theif* press them together, and let dry. It will be all right to wash the dish in hot water. Q. How can I remove scorch marks from fireproof dishes? A. Soak the dishes in a strong solution of borax water. The marks can then be easily rubbed off. Q. How can I prevent fish from sticking to the pan while frying? A. Put a ^easpoonful of salt into the pan and rub thoroughly with waxed paper. What is most likely to distract you while driving? Research by the Institute for Safer Living indicates that the following are high on the list of attention stealers which cause motorists to drive into troubles: An accident scene, unusual roadside objects, argument with a passenger, insect in car, smoking, eating, sharp light reflections, children, pets, objects blowing around in th«. car. If these are not enough, there are plenty of others which continually test the driver's powers of concentration. RECORD HOP Featuring Live on Stage GALAXIES IfiRY M0MDAY NIGHT 9 Starting July 31. 1961 McHENRY ROLLER R'NK ^ Rte. 31 South of 120 in McHenry (Sta-Clko & Rock °°N°° Contests Record Prizes 8:00 to 11:00 P.M. -»<• This Business - Farming Poultrymen who have been using artificial lights to lengthen the day for their laying flocks are advised not to turn the lights off now just because the days are longer. Many p o u l t r y m e n d i s c o n t i n u e t h e lights at this time of year but this practice is not recommended. If flock owners discontinue the lights at this time, egg production will usually drop c o n s i d e r a b l y , a n d t h i s , o f course, will cut profits. Work done in Alabama and at ether experiment station? has demonstrated that ligh' has a stimulating effect on the egg-laving process. This is particularly true at this season of the year. Therefore. Jojjse more light instead of less, it is suggested you leave the time clock set as it is for turning the lights on in the morning, and let the longer evenings increase the total amount of light for the day. Then after the first day of summer, if your older birds are still laying, set the clock so that the morning lights come on earlier. This program is a practical and economical way to increase the light stimulant as the layers get older. Poultrymen who have boon practicing this system for a number ot years have had excellent success with it. During these hot summer days, every effort should be made to keep the laying flock >°ool and comfortable. Flockowners have available many things to help keep the birds cool, and wiih most of them very little expense is involved. One of the easiest and most economical suggestions is to nrovide extra water fountains. If the "nit" system of feedinp, and watering is being used, these extra water pans should be placed on the floor so they will be convenient for the l.irds. Sonic have found that the use of night lights will help to maintain adequate feed consumption and will enable the birds to drink more water during the hot, humid nights. The extra water consumption, of course will help to keep the birds cool. When the tempe r a t u r e reaches into -the 90s, emcr» gency steps may be needed -- such as, sprinkling the roofs with water or even the litter and the birds themselves. Other more permanent measures include: exhaust fans, painting rlark roofs with aluminum prtrnt, providing insulation, and p r o v i d i n g a d d i t i o n a l s h e l t e r a round the house. Openings on both sides of the house for cross-ventilation are extremely important. Warm w c a t h e r presents many problems to Ihe ,flockowner in his efforts to maintain a high rate of lay. Every effort should l>e made to keep the temperature below 80 degrees as much as possible. Foot rot of cattle is a disease that ranks high on the list of most stockmen as being one of the more costly animal diseases. The loss from foot rot is mostly from loss of condition of affected animals and reduced rate of gain following an attack of the disease. Foot rot can occur in any class of cattle young or old, beef or dairy. The disease is somewhat seasonal being more prevalent during the spring and fall. It may odcur any month of the year, and under all possible conditions. M o s t a u t h o r i t i e s c o n s i d e r the cause to be the common organism "Spherophorus Neerophorus." There also is a possibility that a virus is involved in some cases of foot rot. Both dairy and beef breeds are susceptible to foot rot. The most common and pronounced symptom is lameness. Usually the affected foot or feet will swell. The swelling may,extend to the knee in the foreleg or to the hock in the hind leg. Many ca^es develop with no sign of injury, or abrasion to the coronary band or the non-horny tissue between the claws of the foot. The body temperature in acute cases may run from 103 to 107 degrees. The animal is acutely ill and goes off-feed. In the case of dairy cows in lactation, there is a sudden and severe drop in milk production. Usually after one or two days a fissure appears in, the skin between the toes or around the coronary band. After the break in the skin appears, the animal may become infected with the organism that causes foot rot as well as other germs or bacteria that are commonly found around l i v e s t o c k . O c c a s i o n a l l y o t h e r organisms or fungi become involved as secondary invaders. The disease can be prevented by keeping cattle lots clean. All rubbish should be removed from the feedlot or pasture. Nails, wire, cans, sticks and stones should never be allowed to accumulate. In addition, mud holes should be eliminated. It may be necessary to install concrete apron^ along feed bunks and wgderers. Aside from the help corip^etp aprons will give in helping j to control foot rot, the aprons will pay for themselves thr^u^n increased gains. It's a mp.t,ter of getting the cattle out of the mud so that the energy used to wade through (he ,n?jigL in^y be converted into l)eef instead. The ration also is in^yprtant in preventing the disease. The ration must be caijpfuLly balanced with just the rigjat .percent age of protein and •carbohydrate and the right amount of roughage. Also the ration must contain a good, fedt&need mineral mixture uiQl icpquatp amounts of vitamin A. It cannot be too strongly stressed that the proper and exact amounts of calcium and phosphorus must be supplied. In some areas trace minerals are of value. Some authorities feel that iodine compounds are valuable as a preventive or a curative in cases of foot rot. Consulting a veteri n a r i a n concerning the use of organic iodines, is suggested. The compounds should be used only on prescription. In spite of the best management practices, cases of foot rot will appear and must be treated. A veterinarian should diagnose the disease and presenile treatment since the treatment varies from herd to herd or area to area. . However, prevention is king. With foot rot, as with many ofher diseases, efforts should be directed toward elimination or prevention of the disease. Through disease preve n t i o n, much needless loss to the livestock producer can be saved. STATISTICS SHOW MORE FATAL FALLS IN JULY. DECEMBER TRAFFIC DEATHS Nineteen persons were killed in sixteen traffic accidents in Illinois over the 102-hour July 4 weekend, averaging one ever£ 5.4 hours. Traffic deaths during June totaled 149, six more-1 than in June, I960, Provisional figures for the first six months of 1961 show 820 deaths, arr increase of 12 per cent over the 733 in the same period last year. An additional safety measure to eliminate glare from the pavement and extend headlight vision will soon be undertaken in a study on Illinois highways with a plastic material called colorphalt. This color paving will include yellow at approaches to some intersections on Routes 59, 62 and 63 in Cook County. The intersection will l)e paved with red colorphalt. A one-half mile si retch of the southbound lane of US 66 south of the Lake Springfield bridge in Sang a m o n County will be paved in an offwhite color and another halfmile in hlack. Roth projects involve resurfacing. How do you feel when you start out in the morning for a day's use of your car"? Did you have a good night's sleep?

According to the Institute for Safer Living or the American Mutual Liability Insurance Company these are questions which you should ask yourself qach time thatiyou back your car out of the' ipjaraRe. Your life may depend Upon the correct answers. . • The United States imports sorn? 15 million Christmas treiTS from Canada yearly, and harvests1 some 20 million more, at home. I The pattern is usually pretty | much the same: The time -- July or Decern- | bcr. The place -- the home. Or, I more sj)ecifically, the bedroom. I The victim -- so meone 65 i years of age or older. ' Yes, that's usually the story ! of home deaths from falls, j which take about 14,000 lives i annually and rank second only ; to traffic, as an accidental i killer. ! National Safety Council staj tistics show that about 3 ^out j of 4 persons killed in falls are i 65 or older, and that more than !3 out of 4 falls occur in the j home. More falls occur in July and December than any other j time of the year. | .Of. the fatal fall,s occurring | inside the house, mort- than ! half happen in the oedroofn. | Next most dangerous spots? ! The living-dining room, kitchj en. stairs and bathroom, in ' that order. j Why is the bedroom such a : booby trap? For many reasons, j the Council, says. One of the • most important, of course, is the time spent there by young children and older people, some of them infirm or ill. Also, bed- I rooms are most often used during dark hours, and light- I ing isn't always what it should bo. Another reason people fall so often in bedrooms is heeause of the throw rug - a lethal' weapon if unanchored: "The ideal spot for a throw ' rug is right beside the Ocd j if you want an accident," the ; Council says. j How to remove the hazard? j "Sew fruit jar rings on the I underside of the rug, or use i 1ape you can buy for the purpose." ] A handy bed lamp will help j cut (iown on the night-time ! toll from falls, too. the Council j advises. Other tips: j 1. Light stairs and steps. Keep them uncluttered, i 2. Fasten window screens | securely. Use guards on win- ! dows with low ledges. J 3. Use a nonslip rubber mat Ion the bottom of your bathtub or shower. Tubs or showers are slippery -- and hard! Also. I provide a vertical grab bar on j the wall. | 4. Keep ladders repaired. | Place them and use them prop- . erlv. Avoid reaching and makeshift substitutes. Sit in chairs -- don't climb on them, Council says. the I ATTENTION MOTHERS .

My best friend knows I'm a little shy around boys and is always getting her boy friend to fix me up with a boy I don't know-for a double-date. I think I've had about 10 blind dates in my life Bli not one of them ever turned out the way 1 t-hought- rt should have. Six or seven of the boys thought I was love starved and tried to get me to park. One or two others tried to give me the idea they were doing me a big fa\-or by dating me. Are all blind dates like the ones I've mentioned Dora. DEAR DORA: There are some good blind dates walking around but because they are blind, tht-y can't see you, I guess. Blind dating is all right if you want to take "pot luck" but I don't approve of it and I wouldn't allow my daughter to accept such a date. A girl should at least know the boy she's going to spend the evening with and dating blindly is sometimes very unwise and dangerous and always silly. DEAR DAN: Is a boy of 14 too young to start shaving? I don t have too much of a beard but it's enough to embarrass me when I'm (Hit with my friends." Three of my buddies starled shaving this year and .they didn't have nearly the whiskers I do. - Shaggy, DEAR SHA(iCY: I always say age has nothing to do with shaving. If you need a sha\»« at 14, see if your father won't agree. The same applies to j>irls and their legs. If they believe their legs could use a razor or an eleetrlc shaver and their mothers second the idea, that's all it* will fakt\ THE MAIL BA<J MAI RY: Based on the driving you do with your friends and your girls, your share of the gas bill shouldn't be less than a dollar per date. However, don't think you should fill up the gas tank jusl because your buddy may have that idea. TRAFFIC SAFETY AWARD PRESENTED NEIGHBORING CITY Officials ot v\ nonstock received an award of merit Wednesday fors outstanding traffic safety per ormance during 1960.
