BRUCE THACKER G R A D U A T E - B r u c e C . Thaeker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thaeker of 4618 W. Lake Shore drive, McHenry, graduated from the Recruit Training command at Great Lakes June 8. He is now home on leave and will report July 1 to the San Diego Naval base for dental technician school. Navy Airman Guy W. Erbin, son of Mrs. Dorothy E. Erbin of 5802 N. Agatha drive, and husband of the former Miss Joanne E. Zenner of 303 W. Burr, both of McHenry, is a member of Training Squadron 24 which put on an air show during the May 19 Armed Forces day at Chase Field Naval Air station at Beaville, Texas. "Skyhawk" aircraft from his squadron performed two section takeoffs to start the show. Shortly after the "Skyhawks" joined other aircraft in doing a diamond formation fly-by. Motive "You say you came to the city to look for work. I put it to you there was another, a stronger motive, that brought you all that dis­ tance." "Well," hesitated, the defendant, "there was." "Ah!" cried the young barrister, triumphantly."And what was that?" "A locomotive." MARGARET O'NEIL Clerk of the Court (Pub. June 27, July 3 & 11,1973) Inspiration Lost Teen-Agers When Alice Davis tapped the potential of local teen-agers, a much needed volunteer project called Shadow was born at New York's Morrisania hospital. At the hospital where Mrs. Davis directs volunteers, she had difficulty finding help in the vast stretch of poverty called the South Bronx. She wanted to help exhausted doctors and nurses care for the deluge of victims of Saturday night violence. Then one day she decided to call on neighborhood high schools, recruiting for voluntary service as hospital aides the listless, uninterested students - the future dropouts and gang members who had no real homes or purpose in life. The hospital made arrangements for rooms and hot, nourishing meals for the young volunteers. "So many of our youngsters are in need of food and shelter," explained Mrs. Davis. "I learned you have to start thinking of these youngsters, not only in terms of what they can give the hospital but what we can give them, too. They need respect and credit for the work they do. They need someone to talk to and a little incentive. Each of them is beautiful and each one has something to contribute." The program grew surprisingly. It was called Shadow because student volunteers worked side-by-side with medical personnel. Many young blacks and Puerto Ricans felt for the first time in their lives that they were needed. They uncovered interests that may some day lead to full-time hospital careers. Of the eighty enthusiastic volunteers now in Shadow, at least one credits Mrs. Davis with saving his life. "I was just strung out on junk," the youth related. "She got me a psychiatrist, and she helped my mother find a job." Alan Rosenblut, associate director of Morrisania, agrees. "All this and more," he said, "is credited to the dedicated work of a woman with social concern who has a gift for putting fire under people - administrators, doctors, nurses and volunteers. She doesn't use money: she triggers your need to want to help. R3233XXXE n n ** n* ** WOW! M & J PLASTER CRAFT & ART SHOP WHERE? Johnsburg, Illinois FREE GIFTS EVERY WEEK •PRICES CANNOT BE BEAT- by Matthew S. Rosen Instructor - Ornamental Horticulture McHenry County College Over the years; I have in late •June, received many a letter and telephone call from distressed sounding and oc­ casionally panic-stricken gardeners wanting to know why a portion of the leaves on many of their trees and shrubs were gradually turning yellow and dropping. All insisted that even the closest examination failed to reveal the presence of any destructive insect, or pathogen. Being expert plant disease diagnosticians, we, of course, know differently. Right? (At this point, I assume that each and every one of you answered affirmatively.) We realize that every symptomatic plant has a story to tell. Somewhat cloaked in mystery - maybe. Yet all the pieces necessary to solve the riddle are present. Our job is simply one of deductive reasoning. Okav, let's "reason". What could possibly cause scores of birch leaves from New York City to Crystal Lake to yellow in late June and early July every summer? A pathogen? Although not absolutely im­ possible, highly doubtful. The nine hundred mile area is just too large. Any living stress factor responsible for such an annual, unwanted event would receive so much publicity that its name would be household word. For example, I feel quite certain that at one time or another most of you have heard about the fungus responsible for Dutch elm disease. Since we have quickly ruled out all biotic disease agents, we must be dealing with a physiopathogen. The question is which one? What we must now do is figure out what Crystal Lake and the rest of McHenry county has in common with New York. Don't frown. The similarity must "Only be climatic. Did I detect^jn audible sigh of relief? (Being born and raised in the greater metropolitan New York area, I shudder even to think of the verbal beating my "little old home town" would now be taking if we were all face to face.) Air pollution. Rain. Wind. Temperature. The solution must be held by one of those words. But which? Although the prevailing winds do unforunately, allow us to share, at least a part of Chicago's pollutant laden air, toxic levels of chemicals like sulphur dioxide are rarely a problem during the summer months. Phytotoxic quantities of ozone and PAN the hot weather pollutants, have never consistently been recorded over such a wide area. The interrelated en­ vironmental factors of wind, rain, and temperature thus must hold the key. But how? During the cool spring months when rainfall is plentiful, trees and shrubs put forth a full compliment of new leaves. As the mercury gradually climbs, and the amount of precipitation decreases,the plants are placed under an ever-increasing moisture stress. With each added degree, more and more water is pulled out of the foliage via transpiration. In order to alleviate their internal moisture deficit, plants drop a portion of their leaves. Wind, especially in our neck of the woods, is a constant problem. The occasionally gentle, but more often gusty bngezes ex­ tract large amounts M^water from plants. Except in periods of severe drought, summer leaf drop is not a serious problem. In fact, this natural phenomenon ac­ tually works to the plant's advantage. The full foliar compliment produced in the spring permits the tree or shrub to rapidly replenish a portion of reserves (starch) used during bud break. By the time July rolls around, the stored "foodstuffs" have, generally, been brought back to a respectable level. Instead of becoming a burden, and real hazard to continued optimum growth, trees and shrubs simply shed their "extra" leaves. Although the arrival of hot, dry weather is the prime causal factor, other agents may also be responsible for summer leaf drop. Many species of yews (Taxus) lose their older needles in late June. If one is unaware of the cause, a quick glance at a "shedding" yew frequently creates great concern. Green throughout the harsh winter months, the inner needles of the shrub one day, without the slightest warning, begin to turn yellow and fall. Do not be upset. Depending on the species, all narrow-leaved evergreens shed their two-to-five-year-old needles. Remember how sick the white pines (Pinus strobus) looked last fall? Needle-drop is nature's way of discarding the old, inefficient foliage in order to make room.for robust, new leaves. "Sureljt you jest, Mr. Rosen?" Not a\ all. The new needles are responsible for approximately ninety per cent of the photosynthate produced; and thus, hold the key to con­ tinuing growth. As the season progresses, large trees like maples support extra-ordinarily immense populations of small, sucking- type insects. A forty-foot high Norway maple is capable of providing food and shelter for literally thousands of aphids and leaf hoppers. Never more than V4-V2" long, these pests obtain nourishmant by inserting thteir straw-like stylets into leaves and sucking out plant juices. Although some leaves ill fall as a direct result of their activity, trees are not injured. For sanity sake, forget the little creatures. Not only is the cost of spraying large shade trees prohibitive, but un­ fortunately neither aphids nor leaf-hoppers practice birth control. In fact, in the entire insect kingdom these two rather unimpressive, emaciated looking beasts are among the most prolific breeders. Blessed with an ^extremely short generation time, two aphids and their progeny can within three Sunglasses Save Energy Sunglasses are not just a beauty aid, scientists have found. A person's eyes nor­ mally use 25 per cent of one's total physical energy, and exposure to glare or strain hikes that percentage rapidly. As a result, you tire faster when your eyes are under a strain. But don't rely on cheap sunglasses, the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness warns. Distortion from poorly made lenses can cause just as much strain as the bright sun. Thanks to new Federal Food and Drug administration regulation, all sunglasses must now be made of impact- resistant materials, so the danger of eye injuries has been drastically reduced. What is the best color for your sunglasses? Neutral gray •vis favored because it transmits all colors in their true relationships, while a green tint is the second choice of scien­ tists. And if you wear correc­ tive lenses, sunglasses ground to your prescription can be a decided convenience.
