PAHF 4 - PLAINDEAI KR - KH1DAY. OCTOBER 7. 1«>77 Launch Campaign To Reduce Property Loss From v • The Farm bureau's major emphasis to reduce property loss through crime is underway , with the recent launching of the Property Identification ,, program. Law enforcement agencies, including Deputy Robert t Joosten of the Sheriff's , , d e p a r t m e n t , a n d , representatives of several city and village police departments^ are wholeheartedly involved in this area-wide determination to marie property so it can be identified when stolen. The program is being launched throughout Illinois witti Illinois law enforcement agencies coordinating efforts. A Property Identification Numbering program has been ' , established with each county assigned an identification number. "Our next step is to inform the public about this program because efforts extend beyond the scope of farmers," said Larry Harris, Farm bureau manager. "Marking equipment is available to marie heavy equipment such as combines, tractors and plows. A marking > stylus is available for television sets, tape recorders and typewriters. "We will urge people to buy their marking equipment when die time comes to begin our concentrated effort. We plan to talk with *-H, FFA, Scout and other organized groups to seek their active participation to call on friends and neighbors and to take part in the education and a c t u a l m a r k i n g responsibility." Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell has confirmed that property crime in the county is on the increase. - Property crime on farms is escalating as well. The Illinois Farm bureau worked with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to develop this marking program for machinery, equipment, grain and household items. Harris said the die kit to mark heavy machinery includes a holder and ten pieces of one-eighth inch characters type. A code book to mark various pieces of equipment in a special place has been developed. In addition, authorities urge people to mark in a second place they will remember.

McHENRY, ILL 385-0333 FOR RESERVATIONS Filing off the number when cut into the metal by the die kit is extremely difficult since it will show up under the certain kinds of special lighting. The McHenry county Farm bureau Women's committee, Young Farmers committee, and board members are helping get the Property Identification program underway. Larry Heisner of the IAA was in Woodstock recently to talk with county and city police officials about methods proposed to launch the campaign on a systematic basis. Is it effective? Harris cited one example: In one county where 85 percent of the farm persons signed up and took part, the county sheriff reported a 40 percent drop in crime against property six months after the program was begun. Some tips to consider as one learns more about this program: 1. Mark more than one place on the equipment. 2. Make ah inventory of property. It will help authorities find out what has been stolen and help in the identification of it. 3. If a marked item is sold, suggest to the new owner he place his mark below the other. It will help trace property that moves from owner to owner. 4. Grain identification is available-small tabs of paper three-eighths inch wide and three-fourths inches long, each containing an individual code number. It is mixed with the grain when it is augured into a bin. 5. Use the metal scribe or electric engraver to mark household valuables. Record •he manufacturer's serial number. Items most frequently stolen include CB radios, televsion sets, radios, stereos, tape recorders, bicycles, cameras, typewriters, electric tools, jewelry, and musical instruments. Finally, one major aspect of this program is widespread publicity. Let would-be thieves know this is a well-marked county and that much property is identity-marked. They'll go on to an area wherte thievery is easier and less risXyTA decal will be provided to alert would- be thieves that tlfey are in "marked" territory. Subsequent meeting^ on the program and announcements about how to take part will follow in the next few weeks, concluded Harris. The Veterans Administration employs 36,000 Vietnam-era veterans, more than any other federal agency.

BBHBB 4-H Program Stresses Food Safety CHICAGO--Careful food handling can prevent many of the estimated 2 to 10 million cases of foodborne illnesses that occur each year in the United States. When preparing, packaging and storing foods, follow these basic precautions sug­ gested by young people in the national 4-H food con­ servation and safety program: * Start with clean food, utensils and hands, and a safe water supply. Don't handle foods if hands have open cuts or boils. •Keep work, eating and storage areas clean. Protect food from flies and other pests. * After preparing foods, keep them hot (140°F or above) or cold (below 40°F). This is especially important during summer months, or if foods will be transported to a picnic or camping site. 4-H members 9-19 learn- by-doing that handling foods properly ensures nutritional value and wholesomeness. They become aware of the wide variety of foods that can be prepared for cookouts, camping trips and other lei­ sure activities. And they study and apply ^ scientific principles whether handling foods outdoors or at home. 4-H food conservation and safety projects are supervised by the Cooperative Extension Service and supported by Reynolds Metals Company. The company offers incen­ tives to program members at all levels of participation: six national scholarships of $1,000 each, one expense- paid trip per state to the 56th Many of the estimated 2 to 10 million cases of foodborne illnesses that occur each year in the United States could be prevented by proper food handling. In the national 4-H food conservation and safety program, 4-H'ers 9-19 learn-by-doing <«bout safe food preparation, packaging and storage. The program is conducted by the Cooperative Extension Service and supported by Reynolds Metals Company. National 4-H Congress Nov. 27-Dec. 1 in Chicago, and four medals of honor in each county. Winners are selected by the Cooperative Extension Service and awards are arranged by National 4-H Council. More information on the program is available from county extension agents. For a fall cookout or a quick supper at home, try this recipe from "The Safe 'n' Tasty Guide to Charcoal Grilling," a leaflet developed by Reynolds for use in the 4-H food conservation and safety program: HOBO'S DINNER (serves 4) 1 lb. hamburger 4 medium baking potatoes 4 or 6 carrots cut in sticks 2 onions, sliced 1 can whole green beans 1 large pepper, cut in strips salt and pepper 4 squares foil Scrub, peel and cut pota­ toes in slices, place on 4 squares of foil, salt and pep­ per. Season hamburger to taste, shape into 4 patties and place on top of potatoes. Arrange carrots and beans around potato. Put onion and pepper slices on top of ham­ burger. Use bundle or drug­ store wrap to seal foil. Cook over gray coals one hour for medium doneness. Or bake in 325° oven about 45 minutes. Each Hobo serves one person. Hobo may be frozen and cooked at another time-or cooked and stored in freezer, popped in oven or over coals and reheated. $ Microwaves: What They Are, How They Work In spite of the tremendous growth in microwave cooking, just what microwaves are and how they work remains a mystery to many. Understanding this parti­ cular form of energy and how it causes foods to heat up and cook is not essential to using a microwave oven, but it can be helpful. Here are some answers about microwaves from General Electric's Con­ sumers Institute. What are microwaves? They're short, high-frequency radio waves generated by a special kind of tube called a magnetron tube. Microwaves are similar to AM, FM or CB radio waves, but are much shorter. . How do they work? Mi­ crowaves are "broadcast" in­ to the microwave oven cavity and penetrate 3/4 to 1-1/4 inches through the food sur­ face. Inside the food, mi- >:• House Choose now from our beautiful selections and layaway for Ihe holiday season! "LOCATED: RIVERSIDE DRIVE'S DEAD-END STREET McHENRY, ILL. FRI9T0 9 crowaves cause food mole­ cules to vibrate millions of times each second. Friction produced by the vibration creates heat which cooks the food. Why doesn't the dish get hot? Proper "microwave oven- safe" dishes do not get hot because the microwaves pass directly through them. Plates with metal trims or certain kinds of glazing are not recommended for use, be­ cause they are affected by microwaves and can get hot. Can you use your present cookware in a microwave oven? You can check your own cookware for use in a micro­ wave oven, suggests the Con­ sumers Institute, by following these simple steps: Measure one cup of water in a glass cup. Place cup on or be­ side dish being tested. Set the oven at High and heat for one minute. -- -- If water becomes warm, but the dish does not, the dish is suitable for use in the microwave oven. Does food cooked by microwave energy retain any of the energy? No. Hie ener­ gy is converted to heat. Neither the food, the air in the oven, nor any part of the oven is capable of storing mi­ crowave energy.

Green St., McHenry Know {J J3 - l 'T H t What is the normal path of high pressure areas across the United States? Do you know whether your home is on one of the "main routes?" With fall coming on and more high pressure areas ex­ pected, it is good to know the path of these fair-weather systems. Generally speaking, they always travel east. They move in over the United States from California, or that vicinity and move almost due east, in thd southern part of the country. Some cross in near the Washington-Oregon border and that vicinity and cross out to the east between Washington and Philadelphia. Others come in over the Great Lakes region and move out to sea above New York. Cold systems, unlike warm fronts, move generally down­ ward, slightly, as they cross the country. Their center sel­ dom crosses lower Texas or the Florida peninsula. From now through the winter you will experience more and more of them.
