Op ward Trend ti Eye Injuries To Farmers Noted An alarming upward trend in eye injuries to farmers is causing growing concern at the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. A recent study by the Society and one by University of Iowa concluded that during any given year, one farmer in ten is likely to be injured in the eye seriously enough to require the attention of a physician. "Farming has always been a hazardous calling," Leonard H. Heise, executive director of ISPB, says. "Eye injuries seem to be particularly frequent. Flying or protruding objects, chaff, dust, and other debris make eye protection a must. "But possibly the greatest of all dangers to the eyesight of farmers," Heise adds, "are the liquid chemical fertilizers, and insecticides, particularly the compressed ammonia types because they are the most likely to cause partial or total blindness." Ammonia, Heise explains, is extremely water soluble and absorbs rapidly into the living eye tissue that injury can result almost immediately. In the case of eye tissue, with its high fluid content, damage from ammonia begins within as brief a time as 30 seconds after contact. This is why continuous irrigation of the affected area with plain water for at least 15 minutes following exposure is so important. Such emergency treatment helps limit the damage but it cannot be ex­ pected to remove the chemical completely and prompt medical attention must be sought. The best insurance against serious eye injury from com­ pressed ammonia, he says, is still strict utilization of safety eyewear. A tank of fresh clean water should be carried on the tractor in an easily accessible position. A small plastic "squeeze" bottle of water should be carried in the shirt pocket of the operator.

Cub Trip To Museum Cub Scout Pack 162 took a recent trip to Cantigny War Memorial museum of the First division. Robert McCormick, the late publisher of the Chicago Tribune, had collected many war souvenirs and built a War Museum which he left to the State of Illinois. McCormick was a colonel in the war and very proud of his collection. Winston Churchill was one of McCormick's important guests and many pictures of great people known by McCormick are in the museum. His grandfather was a very close friend of Lincoln and had helped him before he became President. McCormick's personal home has thirteen bathrooms, fifteen bedrooms and six fireplaces. Fox Hunts and Steeple Chase races were held frequently on the property which consisted of 500 acres. McCormick's desk is made of marble and weighs one-half ton. EARNS CPA RATING Robert L.

ATTEND WEDDING On Saturday, July 7, Larry and Sharon Kottke of Sunset Drive, and Jim and I attended the wedding of Jim's cousin, Ester Barman to Ernest Trapp. The ceremony took place at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Schaumberg.
