Farm Bureau Will Sponsor Defensive Driving Course The life you save may be your own. The accident you avoid may save a loved one. That's the admonition from Mrs. Joanne Cornelison as she urged citizens to attend the Defensive Driving course sponsored by the McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's committee on two evenings Sept. 3 and Sept 10 in sessions lasting from 6:30-10:30 p.m both nights Mrs. Cornelison is chairman of this active Farm Bureau committee and she knows something about the quality of this program featuring discussion, films and diagrams because she took it when it was offered at thf> ,Farm Bureau building about eight months ago. "Sign up for the course by calling the Farm Bureau and give your name," advises Mrs. Cornelison. "Only cost is for the test book and background materials." Instructing this vital course is David Hawthorne, public relations director for the Country Companies. Dave has completed the course for instructing this program conducted by the National Safety council. "One tip I got last time, for example," says Mrs Cornelison, "is to figure whenever I need to turn my windshield wiper on I should also turn on my headlights because bad weather obviously means bad visibility. By turning on my lights, I 'm helping other drivers spot my -^vehicle. "Defensive driving involves thinking ahead and anticipating what could happen. It also includes learning about potential hazards and knowing how to face them. Driving on a tollway and leaving and entering a tollway is another good thing I learned more about." Many bus drivers take this course, and all schools are being notified about the time for this program with hearty encouragement that bus drivers be asked to attend !)riving on rural roads, confronting intersections and alertness for oncoming traffic is included in Hawthorne's demonstrations and films.

And contrary to the detergent commercials, some stains are difficult to remove, says Pat Frank, McHenry county Extension adviser in Home Economics. Stain treatment requires quick action, patience and know-how. Many stains that can be removed easily when they are fresh are difficult or impossible to remove later, especially after they are set by heat. She recommends that you pre-treat stains before laundering. Here are some tips on the treatment of common summertime stains: Soak catsup stains in cool water for 30 minutes or longer. If the stain rerrteins after sponging or soaking, work a detergent into it, then rinse. Use a chlorine or peroxygen bleach to remove any remaining stain. Rinse and launder as usual. To remove mustard stain, rub detergent into the dampened stain and rinse. If stain persists, soak in hot detergent solution for several hours or overnight. If stain remains, use a bleach safe for the fabric. A strong sodium perborate bleach solution is most effective if it will not harm the fabric. Rinse well Soft-drink spills will generally respond to a pre- treatment with detergent paste. When possible, sponge the spot immediately after the spill with cool water Chocolate stains need to be soaked in cool water and pre- treated with detergent paste or soaked in warm water with enzyme-containing product. If a greasy stain remains, sponge with grease solvent. Allow the article to dry and repeat the treatment if necessary. Mud on clothes should be allowed to dry before removing what you can with a stiff brush. Rinse in cool water and then wash in hot water. Stains that remain from iron-rich clay should be treated as rust stains. Pre-treat grass stains with detergent solution or bleach solution if it is safe for the fabric For best results, treat stains as soon as they occur The next best procedure is to pre-treat stains before putting garments and household items into the washer.

Parents who have moved into the district during the summer months are requested to contact the school immediately House Republican conference, offered his proposal as an amendment to the Energy Conservation Act of 1973, which started year 'round daylight saving as part of a national effort to conserve energy. Anderson, the third-ranking House Republican, said he was acting on the basis of "serious concerns expressed by parents and teachers in my district over the safety of children enroute to school during hours of darkness in midwinter." Anderson noted that while federal statistics showed that fatalities involving school children were reduced through the entire day during January and February, it was conceded that winter daylight savings holds added risks for early morning accidents. The Rockford Congressman said his amendment would enable federal energy agencies to accurately sample the effect of longer daylight savings on energy consumption, while at the same time, removing the period of greatest risk to school children. "No amount of energy savings - and the projections total 50,000 barrels of oil a day -- is worth the sacrifice of the life of a single child," Anderson said. in order to register their children if they have not done so.
