Health Tip (From the American Medical Association) POISON IVY Plants of the poison ( iyy family are likely the single most often encountered cause of painful, itchy skin rash in the United States today. This family of plants can grow in the great variety of conditions of soil, water and sun present in all states of the nation. There are several varieties, all causing the same trouble. Poison sumac is a shrub or small tree. The others are vines. Except for the sumac, all are marked by three leaflets arising from the node. Remember the old saw: "Leaflets three, let it be." Washing with soap and water soon after exposure might help reduce the skin rash, the American Medical Association says. Cold water compresses will bring relief from itching and reduce inflammation. Calamine lotion will hasten drying of the blisters. Ex­ tensive and severely un­ comfortable eruptions may require medications prescribed by a physician. The only method for preventing poison ivy rash is avoiding the plants. There is no effective skin protectant or immunizing technique. The plants can be dug out, or destroyed by herbicides. Actually, the poison ivy is misnamed. It isn't really a poison. It is an allergen, which causes the body's defense mechanisms to over-react. First exposure might not produce a rash, but later ex­ posures will trigger the reaction. • • * • Millions of youngsters . can tell you exactly how many school days are left at this stage of the game.

It's YOUR Money BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY HOW TO APPLY FOR SOCIAL SECURITY If you want to start getting Social Security benefits as soon as you are eligible, it's a good idea to apply some three months in advance. It may take that long to get infor­ mation through the gover­ nment pipelines and start pumping money out. Notify the Social Security Ad­ ministration before you stop working or before you reach 62. whichever is later. Even if you plan to work after 65. you'll want to establish your eligibility for Medicare. You'll need your Social Security card and your spouse's (if he or she is ap- plyng for benefits based on your credits). If you can't sup­ ply the cards/ some other record on which your Social Security number appears may be acceptable. Proof of age is vital. Optimum proof is a birth certificate or a baptismal certificate. If you don't have one. you can sub­ stitute other documents (you'll need two) - passport, school records, signed statement of a doctor or midwife who delivered you. employment records that include the date of birth, militory records, in­ surance policy, marriage cer­ tificate, etc. If you are applying for joint benefits, bring along your marriage certificate. If you're applying for benefits based on a former spouse's account, you'll need divorce papers, too, to prove you were married at least 20 years. Bring along your most recent W-2 tax form, too. It will give an indication of the Social Security taxes you have paid, and what benefits are due you. If you're self-employed, bring a copy of your latest in­ come tax return and proof of tax payments made. Social Security makes payments where they are due: having the necessary paperwork on hand makes the whole application process easier.
