Health Tip From the American' Medical Association INSECTICIDES Do bugs eat up your garden? Most insects can be knocked out with sprays, powders and other poisons, but the unwary gardener sometimes can suffer from the effects of the bug sprays too. Some tips on use of in­ secticides are offered by the American Medical association. Read the directions on the container carefully - and follow them. The manufacturer spells out the proper usage and safety precautions. If the directions call for rubber gloves, protective clothing or goggles, leave this one for the experts and use a less potent poison. Store the insecticide in its original container, with original label, in a safe, locked compartment, away from children and pets. Destroy empty containers immediately. Apply downwind, to avoid inhaling sprays and dusts. Stay out of freshly sprayed areas the rest of the day. Do not smoke while spraying or dusting. Some of the chemicals are flammable. And you might inhale poisons along with the smoke. If chemicals are spilled on the skin, wash immediately and thoroughly. Cover bird baths, dog dishes and fish pools before spraying. Pour leftover spray down a drain or into the soil. Don't leave it around in pans or pails. In case of accident, follow the directions on the container. If in doubt, call your physician. Illinois State police warn that love affairs with skateboards could present some very real threats of danger. The beginning of the skaie board phenomenon - the latest craze for our younger generation - has* also brought along a number of other real problems that parents should be aware of. Children love speed--the sheer physical exhilaration of moving rapidly through space, the feel of the wind, the sense of heightened power--but they also love competition. There has to be a way of knowing which child is best, and a way in which each child can make an organized attempt at becoming best; which is to say there have to be tricks. The first is learning to "pop a wheelee" by pressing or kicking the back of the board hard enough to lift the front wheels. This allows the rider to do interesting things like mount a curb or stop on a dime. Then there are the jumping contests in which a stick is suspended eight or ten inches in the air. The rider approaches at high speed, jumps over the bar while his skate board rolls under, and rejoins his board on the other side. There are standing tricks, like the "one-eighty" or "three- sixty" in which one simply turns in place by twisting the body, and combination tricks like the helicopter in which the rider does a series of "one- eighty's" while rolling down a hill. Speed is the main element, the main appeal. There have to be tricks, the daring semi- horizontal sweep around a banked curve, the daredevil leap down an asphalt hill, etc. The dangers of head injuries are always present and parents should always make certain that their children wear protective headgear. In ad­ dition to headgear, knee pads would also be an asset for the very serious skateboard en­ thusiasts. One direct result of the skateboard fad i$ that children are out scouting local terrain looking for that perfect ramp--and this, state police warn parents, is where \he real danger lies. More and more youngsters are taking their skateboards to the streets, even on a little-traveled residential street where the danger still exists. Since the skateboards are not considered vehicles, skateboard riders have the same rights as pedestrians and the same obligations while in the roadway. The skateboard rider is definitely in violation of Illinois law if he or she clings to a vehicle to hitch a ride, and the law also holds parents responsible if they allow their ^children to violate this section of the law. Parents are reminded that according to" National Safety council statistics, the pedestrians most frequently involved in accidents are young people under fourteen years of age. Children playing in the streets account for a large percentage of these deaths. Many young children in­ volved in pedestrian accidents are injured or killed on residential streets while playing during daylight hours. The state police urge parents to instruct their young children not to , play or ride their skateboards in the street, and a special appeal should be made to all drivers that they should be particularly watchful on streets at times when children are likely to be playing State police remind parents that they have the respon­ sibility of seeing that their children make use of off-the- street play areas and that drivers have the responsibility to take proper precautions to avoid collisions with pedestrians at all times, (even if the pedestrian jay-walks). Under no circumstances is the driver Of a motor vehicle privileged to exercise the right- of-way over a pedestrian. T h i n k i n g u s u a l l y means less talking; In 1968. Paul Spitzer. a nineteen-year-old college student started a research project that ultimately saved the osprevs of Ix>ng Island Sound from extinction His goal was to find out how DDT was causing the decline of these large fish hawks. "We didn't know precisely what was happening then," he remembers, "whether the poisons were affecting the parent birds or their eggs." So he worked out a way of determing whether DDT was affecting the parent birds, making them destroy or abandon their eggs, or whether the eggs Were poisoned by the chemical and unable to produce viable chicks. He swapped "clean eggs from Chesapeake bay" with the contaminated eggs on Long Island Sound. It worked. Clean eg^s hatched in nests along the Sound. "Dirty" eggs - with thin, weak shells -\vere crushed by the body weight of their adoptive "parents" in the .Chesapeake. The experiment meant something else. It enabled Paul Spitzer to bring enough osprey eggs and fledglings to New York and Connecticut shore areas to restock the bird population there without threatening ospreys in the Chesapeake Bay region. Today, the decline in ospryes along the New York and Connecticut shores has been "In a world in which cause and effect are often unclear.' he says, "this seems like something I can do. where 1 can see the effect " One person can make a difference. Haul Spitzer proves it. CONSUMER GUIDELINES Saving Energy Americans are increas­ ingly aware of the need for conserving energy, follow­ ing a winter which brought extreme shortages in some sections of the country Summer brings on more 31 problems, with greater de­ mands on energy resources -- for air conditioners, electric fans, home appli­ ances. Much energy can be saved if homeowners will use electric and gas appliances wisely....such as washing half a load of laundry except in emer­ gency situations. «*»• jfOIWSBYS " f a m i l y e n t e r s - PRICES IN EFFECT APRIL 13 thru APRIL 15 LADIES SLEEVELESS BLOUSES $2 17 Reg.3.64 A lovely addition to your warm weather wardrobe.
