PAGE 14 - PLAINOKAIJTW-ITRIDAY. MAY 16, 1975 The Law Serves You How Does The Illinois Six-Day-Week Law Affect You? Under modern industrial > conditions many thousands off wage earners work seven days' a week, a practice which deprives them of leisure time and may have a detrimental effect on their health. Legislation limiting the At Baber Buick number of days that an em­ ployee may be required to work within a seven day period exists in most states, including Illinois. The type of law found in nearly all the states is a descendant *>f the old Puritan "blue laws" and attempts to forbid all Sunday work, primarily for religious reasons. Most laws were drafted before the rise of modern industry and generally failed to protect either the worker or the Sab­ bath. Illinois was one of the leading states in this area passing what is commonly known as the Six-Day-Week law in 1937. According to the Illinois State Bar association, the basic requirement of the Six-Day- Week law is that the employer on the first day of the week post in a conspicuous place on the work premises a schedule containing a list of the em­ ployees who are required to work or allowed to work on Sunday and designating the day of rest for each. No employee shall be required to work on the day designated his day of rest. Recently the Illinois legislature passed a series of amendments to this law. The most important revision, ef­ fective July 1, 1974, was the addition of the compulsory meal period. Employers are now required to |»ermit em­ ployees, working seven and «one-half continuous hours or longer, at least twenty minutes for a meal period. This is to be given no earlier than three hours after the start of a work period and no later than five hours after its start. (There are different regulations governing minors who work.) The Illinois Six-Day-Week Extension Comments J By George 57 Young, Ex­ tension Adviser, Agriculture, McHenry County) GOOD SEEDBED -- Poor seed quality in some seed lots may cause stand problems this law applies to all employees except: 1) Part-time employees whose total work hours for one employer do not exceed twenty hours in a calendar week; 2) employees needed in case of breakdown of machineryyor equipment requiring the ser­ vices of experienced and competent employees; 3) persons employed in agriculture; 4) and employees engaged in canning and processing of p e r i s h a b l e . a g r i c u l t u r a l products employed on a . seasonable basis. i This type of law, therefore, simply requires that all em­ ployees be given a day of rest each week, and those employed on Sunday be given a free day at some other time in the week.

The early vigorous growth of the young seedling is particularly important to stand establishment, especially under adverse conditions when the seedling blight diseases are most important. A marked difference between warm and cold germination tests indicate that seed vigor and stand establishment problems may be encountered. Plant such seed in a well-prepared seedbed and hope for good weather. Plant poorest-quality seed last-but still aim for early planting.

It is much better to prevent con­ tamination than to try to remove it later. Cows with flanks and udders caked with dirt and manure are the most common source of contamination of milk. Keep the barn clean, provide adequate cleaning and drainage of the loafing area, and clip the long hair from each cow's udder, belly and thighs to make it easier to keep cows clean. Following a proper routine during milking will help you maintain production and also produce milk with a low bac­ teria count. Wash and sanitize each udder before milking. Use warm water with the recom­ mended amount of an approved chemical sanitizer. Single- service paper towels are preferred for washing, and the udder should be dried with a paper towel. Attach the milker unit within one minute after the udder is washed and dried. Clean all milking equipment and utensils immediately after each milking, and store them in a clean area. Sanitize them immediately before use. Cool milk quickly and hold it at 40 degrees F. or below to prevent growth of bacteria. Clean cows, proper milking on a regular schedule, clean milking equipment and proper cooling will help you produce high quality milk and maintain a high level of production in your herd. MINI-GARDENS - Demand for plants suitable for use in containers and hanging baskets has increased dramatically in recent years. Homeowners are not only finding that containers are a good way to grow plants in confined spaces, but they also are finding such plants easier to care for. Vegetables in particular are finding their way into more backyards through the use of containers. A homeowner can grow four tomato plants in a box just two feet square by two feet deep if they are staked to a support. Each plant is capable of yielding 25 pounds of fruit during the growing season. Peppers, parsley, cabbage, cucumbers, and lettuce are also suitable vegetables for container growing. Among flowers favored by homeowners for containers in s h a d e a r e p a n s i e s , w a x b e g o n i a s , i m p a t i e n s , a n d coleus. Petunias, French marigolds, and geraniums, however, do best in sun. Dwarf marigolds are hard to beat for a colorful display. And dusty miller in combination with red geraniums is a striking color combination. now forthe^TTn LwJ" ACCORDING TO THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, ABOUT 45,000 STUDENTS AT APPROX­ IMATELY 1,800 COLLEGES AND 500 HIGH SCHOOLS SERVE AS PART-TIME VOLUNTEERS IN LOCAL COMMUNITY-SERVICE PROGRAMS.
