School Nurses To Hold Spring Workshop May 1 The North-Lakes division of the Illinois Association of School Nurses will hold their Spring workshop meeting Saturday, May 1, from 8:30 am. to 12:30 p.m. The workshop will be held at Zion- Benton Township high school at the Horizon campus, located on the corner of 21st street and Kenosha road in Zion. The meeting will be a follow- up on the Scoliosis workshop held in February. The North- Lakes Executive board felt this follow-up would be helpful to the area school nurses in set­ ting up th&r health program for the 1976-77 school year. After coffee and rolls, two films will be shown relating to Scholiosis. These films were recommended by Dr. Michael Schaefer from Northwestern university who spoke on Scoliosis detection in the schools at the February workshop. After the films, criteria for referrals of Scoliosis screening programs will be discussed. Material from the meeting in Chicago on "Health of the School Age Child", sponsored by the Un- viersity of Illinois School of Public Health Continuing Education department, will be shared with those attending the meeting, and discussion. There will be a short business meeting and the new officers for the I.A.S.N. North-Lakes division will be introduced.

Concurrent outbreaks of both diseases are common and occur in cycles. CP. Knobloch. University of Illinois Extension equine veterinarin suggests vaccinating your horses against EE before the insect season peaks. Transmission of equine encephalomyelitis is similar to that of human encephalitis. The virus is carried in the blood of migratory birds and tran­ smitted mainly by mosquito bite from bird to bird or froln bird to an animal or human host. Birds are natural carriers of the virus and suffer no ill ef­ fects. In humans or horses, however, the virus localizes in the nervous tissue. Because there is no virus present in the blood, the disease cannot be transmitted from infected horses or humans-making them dead-end hosts, says Knobloch. The two main strains of« equine encephalomyelitis are Western (WEE) and Eastern (EEE). A Venezuelan strain appeared briefly in 1971 and caused extensive losses in southern Texas, but has not been reported since then. The domestic strains can also cause large losses. Animals infected with the Eastern strain have a 90-percent mortality rate. The Western strain kills about 50- percent of the horses infected. All horse owners should immunize their animals against both domestic strains each Spring before the mosquito season begins, ad­ vises Knobloch. And those owners who travel extensively with their animals, especially LET'S TALK V-ABOUT MEAT Most people think of live stock only as a source of meat. But, only about 60 percent of a steer and 50 percent of a hog are meat. cuts. The other half is edible or inedible byprod­ ucts -- raw materials for many if the good things we enjoy. I Variety meats such as liver, kidneys, brains, sweetbreads and tongue are edible byprod­ ucts. They are nutritious and considered delicacies by many gourmets. Other edible by­ products include fats and gel-, atin. Fats yield baker's short­ ening for pies and cookies. Gelatin is used in the making of marshmallows and gelatin desserts. Inedible byproducts are used to make everyday prod­ ucts such as hides for leather goods, certain texiles and in­ sulation material. Buttons, bone china, glues, gelatin for photographic film, sandpaper and combs also are manufac­ tured from inedible animal byproducts. From inedible animal fats come many industrial oils and lubricants. Fatty acids are used in the production of bio­ degradable detergents and pes­ ticides. One fatty acid -- stearic -- is used in the manu­ facture of automobile tires to make them run cooler and last longer. As petroleum supplies di­ minish, byproducts may serve as raw material for certain plastics and synthetics. Re­ search is being conducted on ways to make vital natural gas from animal wastes. Cattle, hogs and sheep are storehouses of life-saving phar­ maceuticals. Among them is insulin for the treatment of in the southern United States, might consider vaccinating for the Venezuelan strain as well. diabetes. It trfke the pancreas glands from 35 cattle to pro­ vide enough insulin to keep a diabetic alive for a year. Ap­ proximately one fourth of the five million diabetics in the United States need animal derived insulin. Heparin, a pharmaceutical that comes only from animals -- mostly hogs -- is used to treat hardening of the arteries and phlebitis. It also is essen­ tial for persons with kidney disease who must receive dialysis. Livestock provide many medical and surgical devices such as suture material, bones and cartilage for plastic sur­ gery, skin for burn grafts. At Stanford University in California, surgeons have de­ veloped a new technique for replacing damaged human heart valves with heart valves from hogs. They work better t h a n s y n t h e t i c v a l v e s a n d are not as prone to causing the dangerous blood clots that are a major cause of death following valve re­ placement. Extracts and enzymes from meat animals are used as vita­ min supplements and to treat digestive conditions. Gelatin from animals is used for cap­ sules to assure proper drug dosages. The important pharmaceu­ ticals and everyday products derived from meat animals help us maintain a better and healthier standard of living. Fortunately, livestock are a renewable resource which will assure continuing supplies of the raw materials needed to make our lives more healthy and comfortable.

America's war with Spain which started seventy-eight years ago this month, ultimately resulted in 392,000 U.S. military participants. Today only 750 Spanish- American War veterans are alive. Their average age is 96, with more than a score having passed the century mark. The nation's most senior veteran is William E. Feindel who will be 105 in August. He lives in Lexington, Mass. California has the greatest number of Spanish-American War veterans, 440. As of February, 1976, Indiana has twenty-five veterans; Illinois, thirty-one; Kentucky, nineteen, and Michigan, nineteen. The VA maintains liaison with veterans and their families. Counselors report the men are a proud group and uncompromisingly patriotic. Reunions are sparsely at­ tended but there is not lack of enthusiasm. Four "boys of '98"v \tfere guests* of VA social.,# workers at a regional get together in California last summer. *} Some 350 of the remaining veterans are members of the United Spanish War Veterans. Last year in Indianapolis eleven veterans and 200 auxiliary members attended their national encampment. This year's encampment will be held Sept. 18-23 at Madison, Wis. Cleo G. Brown, 95, of In­ dianapolis is commander-in- chief of the senior veterans' group.

Of Italian or­ igin, he was a full fledged master tailor and designer at the age of twenty, and soon became a formidable talent in Italian mens- wear. Migrating to America in the early 1960's with a background of knowledge via such luminaries as Ba- ratta, Caraceni and Litri- co, there was a brief stint as a Seventh Avenue cut­ ter and designer. Not sat­ isfied, he opened his own establishment in the chic 57th Street area. He quickly gained prom­ inence as an innovative designer, and as a reward many of his clientele were named on the Best Dress­ ed List. Dimitri went into a full scale wholesale production for exclusive men's and women's shops across the country in 1972, offering ready-to-wear clothing with the refinements and details of custom tailored garments. . lie has signed seven j contracts as designer anc consultant for Michaels/ Stern, the 125-year-old Rochester, New York man­ ufacturing firm, also for After Six and Malcolm Kenneth, companies that need no introduction. For three years in suc­ cession (1973-75), Dimitri has been the recipient of the American Fashion Critics "Coty" Award, the last year securing the cov­ eted position of entering ,£oty's Hall of Fame. Dimitri's contribution to American fashion, and his unerring sense of direc­ tion and expertise, has made him most sought after and respected. Terrible!
