Dr. Oberg Will Give Lecture For Hospital Program Extension Comments (By G«org« J. Young, Extension Advisor, McHonry County, University of Illinois) I DR. GARY OBERG On March 17, Dr. Gary Oberg, pediatrician on the staff of McHenry Medical Group, will be giving a talk on "Hyperactivity and Learning Disabilities in Children". Dr. Oberg will give his lecture as part of the Educational Grand Rounds program conducted by Presbyterian St. Luke's hospital in Chicago. The Grand Rounds program is part of the continuing education program for physicians, residents, staff and interested parties prac­ ticing medicine at Presbyterian St. Luke's. Dr. Oberg is an alumnus of the pediatric residency program at Fresbyterian St Luke's hospital. Since com­ pleting his residency, he has practiced pediatric medicine in the Crystal Lake office of the Mc Henry ^"roun 1 C U I V U Watch Extension on T.V. "Garden Talk" is a weekly series of eighteen programs devoted to vegetable gar­ dening. Five University of Illinois Extension hor­ ticulturists serve as the resource persons for this four or five minute offering. "Garden TAlk" will be aired until July 5. Tornado Season is Here Tornados occur in all fifty states, but the midwest and southeast ^re the most likely targets. Sixty-five percent of the tornados that hit Illinois come in March, April, May and June. Illinois ranks eighth nationally in the total number of tornados, but ranks first nationally in deaths and second in property damage caused by tornados. Tractor Operators Recently, there was a typographical error on the dates for the four meeting series. The correct dates are March 19, 26, and April 2. Call 1138-2727 or 4747 for details. Ruuiwui m CviiiiO! Various cultural and chemical measures are available to effectively control or help reduce corn rooiworm damage. Also, perhaps crop rotation is still the most ef­ fective method where it is possible. All Illinois research indicates that corn following soybeans is uPilikciy to heve rooiworm problems. Each year that crops are rotated helps control rootworm populations. The problem in McHenry county is that it grows approximately 127,000 acres of corn and only 35,000 acres of soybeans. This leaves approximately 92,000 acres where crop rotation is not possible this year. Chemical soil insecticide application remains an essential part of rootworm control. Planter and cultivator applications are all successful. No insecticide will give com­ plete rootworm control, but all recommended ones should reduce populations to an ac­ ceptable level. If a soil insecticide gave fair- to-good control in 1976, it will probably give adequate control again this season. But if an insecticide has been used for several consecutive years on the same field, and rootworm control was poor last year, switch to another insecticide this year. Carcass Shows Committees to plan the 1977 Hog and Beef Carcass shows are beginning to put together the details for this year's shows. The hog committee includes Owen Richardson, Spring urove. The beef carcass show is sponsored by the McHenry County Livestock association and ihe hog carcass show is sponsored by the Livestock association and the McHenry-Lake Pork Producers association. Certification To date there are four training sessions offered for interested McHenry county producers to apply for their Private Pesticide Applicators certificate. Persons can also pick up a take home exam from the office that will accomplish the same thing. The McHenry County Agriculture Extension council has tentatively scheduled the next local training session for Dec. 7. Anyone wanting to apply for the certificate before then, but doesn't want to use the take home exam should consider attending the March 17 training session in Belvidere or the March 18 session in Capron. Either way, advanced registration is required. Call 815-544-3710 to register and to get meeting details.

MARCH 16, 1977 HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Bell Requests Dual Name List In Directories Beginning next fall, Illinois Bell's residence customers may request dual name listings in telephone directories at no monthly charge under a proposal the company filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission. If approved by the com­ mission, the company said that customers couia begin ordering dual name listings in October, 1977. This would allow time for necessary modifications in order and directory For many years, the Illinois 4-H foundation has assisted in supporting the 4-H Youth programs through its Cooperative Extension service. The sole purpose of the State foundation is to collect funds from the community for general support and interest of 4-H within the state. This program has been successful and continues to be to the present. An interested group of citizens within McHenry county involved in the county-wide 4-H program, have determined that a county-wide foundation in addition to that of the state, would serve the purpose of channeling more funds at the county levels. Consequently, in the spring of 1976, eight interested 4-H adults met to determine the feasibility of developing a county-wide 4-H foundation program.. The program was deemed feasible; and consequently, the cor- procedures, the company said. Illinois Bell said it had been considering dual name listings for some time and had con­ cluded there was sufficient public interest to make listings available to those who want them. There would be no monthly charge for the inclusion of a second given name in the primary listing in the direc­ tory. A service ordering charge changing OF adding 5 listing would apply. The service or­ dering charge helps offset the cost of modifying company records. poration was effected in the fall of that year. The foundation will be governed by a board of directors composed of the following individuals: A.B. McConnell, Jr., Paul D. Withington, John Cowlin, Vern Schiller, Arthur G. Beard, Robert Collier, Robert Seaver, and Ray J. Pensinger, M.D. The officers of the assocation are: A.B. McConnell, Jr., President; John Cowlin, Vice President; Paul Withington, Secretary; Arthur G. Beard, Treasurer. The specific purpose of the foundation is to collect funds from commercial and private sources within McHenry county for the specific purpose of advancing the interest of 4-H, Extension youth, and other related education activities of the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service in McHenry county. A team of "agents" will soon be organized, on a county-wide basis, one per township. These persons will be working to contact commercial interests, civic organizations, 4-H groups, Homemaker Assistance units, and individual men and women and their families to solicit funds for the 4-H related efforfe in McHenry county. It is the hope of the board of directors that the foundation will act as a single source collection .agency. The foundation will seek to avoid duplication of solicitation efforts within the county. The 4-H movement within McHenry county centers around the efforts of individual 4-H clubs and the County Ex­ tension service. David Plocher, the 4-H Extension advisor for the county, stated that the future of 4-H is bright and with the influx of new families with the county, it should continue to prosper. There is an obvious need, however, to coordinate the fund raising efforts as well as the dispersal of those funds. In McHenry county, the 4-H Youth foundation hopes to fill this void. McConnell, the Foun­ dation president, wishes the residents of the county to be aware of this new organization and of the efforts planned for the future. Additional details will be forthcoming once township agents have been established. For additional specific details, contact: David Plocher, 4-H Extension advisor, McHenry county 815-338-3737 or 4747. Aussles Report On Belt Law Australia garnered world­ wide publicity in 1971 when it made wearing seat belts man. datory for automobile drivers and passengers throughout the country. Now the gov­ ernment there has taken a hard look at how well the statute is working. In two reports, the Traffic Accident Research Unit of the Aus­ tralian Department of Motor Transport credits the seat belt law with significantly reducing highway deaths, but concludes it has not been a safety panacea. One major problem: after the initial flurry of publicity, some Australian states have gone back to their old habits, with compliance with the law falling off substantially. But even belt-wearers have been maimed and killed in some Australian car crashes. The Research Unit dug into the details of 136 such fatali­ ties. It reported, "most of these crashes were found to have occurred on fast roads, most were at or near roadway curves, and most involved collisions with objects such as poles ana trees or colli­ sions with a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction." Medical X-Rays Medical x-rays hold great benefits for every individual, but also hold the potential for harm if not used prop­ erly. Even when x-rays are ne­ cessary, care should be taken to avoid unnecessary repeat examinations, cautions the Food and Drug Administra­ tion. Be sure to tell your doctor and dentist about any x-rays you have had taken recently. He may be able to use them.
