Thompson Boys Organize Blood Donor Program On Tuesday, Jan. 9, 4-H Parents and Friends Blood Donors night was held at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County. Bob and Steve Thompson, members of the Greenwood Gremlins 4-H club, organized this blood donor drive as part of a club citizenship project. The blood was donated for the McHenry county Blood Assurance program, a program which provides blood for residents of this county. This program assures blood for all, including those who cannot give, such as older people or those whose blood cannot be donated. Bob Thompson, 13, and Steve, 11, prepared talks which were given before 4-H clubs in the Woodstock, Greenwood, Alden and Hebron areas, encouraging 4-H parents to give a pint of blood to save a life. As the boys stated in their talks, "We, as 4- H'ers, are members of a club who pledge our head, heart, hands, and health for our club, community, county and world. We are not old enough (you must be between the ages of 18- 65) to donate blood but we can make known to those who are eligible the importance of the McHenry County Blood Assurance program and the need for blood." January is Blood Donor month. Perhaps, there are other 4-H clubs in the county who would like to assure the success of this program. The For most everyone , the recent ice storms throughout the state were- at best - a pain in the neck. Despite the beauty occasionally created, what else can you call iced-up autos, slippery roads and walkways, treacherous steps, caked vegetation and the -veritable rain of fallen tree limbs that cluttered lawns blocked streets, knocked down power and telephone lines and, often, damaged cars or roofs on which they tumbled? But for Mother Nature, this generally miserable ex­ perience had a wor­ thwhile purpose, according to Illinois' Department of Con­ servation foresters. The storms,in fact,were merely one of her methods of pruning, they point out. As in the animal kingdom, where the sick, weak and old embers of a species are elirhinated-usually quickly and violently-so, too, does ' sur­ vival of the fittest' work in the plant world, State Forester Fred Siemert notes. With rare exceptions, those branches that broke under the pressure of wind and icy coats were weak, rotted and dying, whose con­ tinued attachment to the tree could only harm it, he said. Of course, that doesn't mean old Mother Nature is any great shakes as a surgeon. In fact, she's often downright sloppy and while the television commercials warn that " It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature," she does need a bit of help from man now and then, Siemert explained. In the case at hand, a little ' first aid' by the leafy patient's owner can prevent such icy surgery from doing more harm than good and, perhaps, eventually becoming terminal, he pointed out. The foresters say there are a number of things that should be done as soon as weather per­ mits in order to preserve the tree's health after it loses a limb to Wind or ice. But they also point out that while such doctoring can be done by the layman, it is best left to the • professional nurseryman or I tree surgeon, for safety's sake. * Clambering about in the- branches of a tree is for: professional tree trimmers and *• other arboreals, not for the • average homeowner, even if he» is in the good physical condition * required for it--and most are* not. I First, Siemert recommends,.; remove all loose material or ̂ hanging branches so they won't;, later fall on you, your house, K car wires or on passersby-; Next, cut the broken!; limb back to the nearest live> fork or bud, whether it be back% to another branch or all the way*; to the trunk. The cut must be> even, clean, smooth and flush> with the branch or trunk in;!! order for proper 'c^llous'> formation to occur. > Above all, Siemert said, don't - create stubs by "cutting im- * mediately behind the break in a mistaken effort to save as much of the injured limb as possible. Whether the break is six inches, a foot or 10 feet from the nearest bud or fork, cut back to that point, since the stub will die anyway and will begin to rot the healthy branch in much the same manner as a bad tooth often abscesses and destroys gum tissue. Siemert said the third step is to paint the wound-but not with house paint, roofing compound or any other substances con­ taining paint thinner or tur­ pentine, substances that kill the cambium cells upon which healing depends. Shellac always is good as a sort of vegetative 'mer- curochrome,' but it is not durable enough and would have to be reapplied periodically, Siemert reported. However, there are a number of tree paints available in aerosol form at most nurseries, garden centers and hardware stores, he added. Wounds smaller than an inch in diameter need not be painted. They'll heal without help, in most rases. Miss Eternick Is Graduated Officials of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Wis., recently announced the names of 535 seniors who graduated at the close of the fall semester.
