Thousands Die Early From Smoking Diseases Each pack of cigarets sold in the United States carries the warning that smoking may be harmful to your health. What exactly does this mean to smokers? There no longer is any scientific doubt that tobacco smoking, and par­ ticularly cigaret smoking, is associated with shortened life expectancy. Some 300,000 Americans die prematurely each year from diseases related to smoking. Smoking is a major cause of lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Tobacco smoking also is strongly associated with cancers of the larynx, mouth, esophagus and urinary bladder. Smoking is associated with increased risk of strokes and other circulatory diseases. In most diseases related to smok­ ing the heaith hazards are directly pro­ portional to the number of cigarets smoked per day, the earlier the age at which smoking was started, and the number of years smoking has con­ tinued. Those who start young, smoke heavily and keep it up for many years are the greatest risk. Fortunately, those who quit smoking begin to decrease the risk to their health as soon as they quit. Most smoke-related diseases develop over a long period of time, but every single cigaret affects a smoker, says the AM A pamphlet: Smoking: Facts You Should Know. Even one cigaret increases blood pressure and heartbeat and slows down the action of the cilia inside the bronchial tubes. The cilia work like tiny brooms to keep the lungs clean and when they are not working pro­ perly the lungs are vulnerable to all kinds of infection. Smoke,product of combus­ tion, contains hundreds of chemical substances, including nicotine, tars and carbon monoxide. Nicotine in­ directly causes blood vessels to con­ strict, which in turn forces the heart to pump harder and faster, increasing the stress on the cardiovascular system. Tars in smoke are tiny particles that settle on the membranes of the breathing passages and delicate lung tissues. Tars contain chemicals that have produced cancer in experimental animals. Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen-carrying ability of the blood by driving oxygen from red blood cells. As much as 10 per cent of the oxygen that would normally be carried by the red cells is driven out by the carbon monoxide. Seventy-five years ago cigarets ere not recognized as an important real to public health. They were not a major article of consumption. To­ day they are both. January, 1978 Frank Chappell Science News Editor AMA According to the Illinois Department of Pubic Health, hundreds of Americans die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning. Since winter is the time of year when carbon monoxide poisoning is most likely to occur, here is a true or false quiz to test your knowledge of this potential killer; 1 - Carbon monoxide has a "sweet" smell. T F 2 • Carbon monoxide in the air may cause a bitter taste in your mouth. » T F 8 - Carbon monoxide gas can leak into your car while you're driving. T Y 4 - Cooking on a charcoal grill inside a house, trailer, mobile home or other enclosed place can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. » T F 5 - An unvented gas kitchen range can produce deadly levels of carbon monoxide. » TF 6-Carbon monoxide poisoning is always fatal. TF 7 - Fuels which burn incompletely cannot produce carbon monoxide. T F 8 - A gas space heater can produce fatal amounts of carbon monoxide gas. T F 9 - If you get struck in the snow in your car, you should keep a window open at least an inch, and run the engine no more than 10-15 minutes each hour in order to prevent an accumulation of carbon monoxide. T F 10 - Using a hibachi grill in an enclosed place probably will not cause carbon monoxide poisoning. <- TF Answers 1-False. Carbon monoxide has no odor at all. 2 - False. It is also tasteless and cannot be seen. 3 - True. It can leak in through the engine exhaust. 4 - True. Burning charcoal releases high levels of carbon monoxide. 5 - False. When used properly, a gas kitchen range does not represent a carbon monoxide hazard. 6 - False. Although it can kill, it often causes dizziness, nausea and convulsions. 7 - False. Carbon monxide is produced when fuels burn incompletely (as almost all fuels do to some extent). When a generous supply of fresh air is available, however, and the fuel is burning properly, there is little danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. 8 - True. Any unvented fuel-burning appliance can produce potentially deadly levels of carbon monoxide. 9 - True. Also, be sure to keep your exhaust free of an accumulation of snow so that it will not become clogged. 10 - False. It is just as hazardous in an enclosed place as is a standard charcoal grill. If you answered eight, nine or ten of these questions correctly, you are aware of the causes of carbon monoxide poisoning and know how to prevent it If you answered seven or less correctly, it might be a good idea to re-read the questions and answers in order to learn more about carbon monoxide hazards. "Focus On You" Theme Of 4-H Leaders Meet GE 1 - PLAIND^AI.FR . WEDNESDAY.

Percy Bigger Kernels Black walnut kernels will come out in much larger pieces if the nuts are soaked in boiling water for about 40 minutes before they're cracked. "Focus on You" is the theme of the Thursday evening, Feb. 2, meeting for McHenry county adult 4-H volunteer leaders, according to county Home Economics Extension Adviser Kathi Heberer. The main speaker for the evening will be Mary Plocher, a student of social work at George Williams college. Downers Grove. 4-H Leaders are the backbone of the county 4-H program. Plocher will be discussing with the 4-H leaders their role in the group dynamics of the com­ munity 4-H club. 4-H leaders must know themselves well to be effective in their highly important position. Leaders will have the opportunity to share experiences and meet new leaders. To conclude the evening, according to Heberer, a special surprise experience is being planned. The meeting will be held at the Extension office in Woodstock at 7:30 p.m. First Census The first U.S. census was taken in 1790. Year-end assessments of Congressional performance are producing mixed reviews on the first session of the 95th Congress that adjourned just before the holidays. On balance, I think Con­ gress did a good job. Although much remains to be done when Congress meets, again in January, it is fair to say that the Congressional ses­ sion just completed tackled some long-standing problems and scored some important successes. The greatest disappoint­ ment of the session was the failure to complete work on the energy legislation pro­ posed by the Administration in April. Members of the House and Senate will meet again in January to resolve their differences, and we are hopeful that their delibera­ tions will be speedy and fruit­ ful. But the root of the failure to complete work on the energy legislation remains a problem. Basically; too many Members of Gorigress simply will not make hard choices when it comes to forging a national energy plan. The worsening energy crisis is a tough problem that demands tough solutions. We have to make policies that look be­ yond the next election and address the national interest instead of narrow political interests. We did make progress on other fronts regarding energy. Creation of the Cabinet-level Department)of Energy puts most energy related activities of the federal government under one roof. And we passed a stripmining law, which contains a provision I proposed that will protect our prime farmland in Illinois in a way that is fair to both mine operators and farmers. On the economic front, we passed a tax cut and dis­ carded the unwise $50 rebate. More tax cuts will be needed in 1978 and in following years to help provide economic stimulus that will create badly needed jobs and at the same time control inflation. Tax cuts are expected to be part of the Administration's overall economic policy that will be outlined early in the year. Congress passed an exten­ sion of the farm bill that pro­ vides acceptable levels' of financial support and loans for farmers. We still need to work diligently to build " an agricultural policy that puts emphasis on the freedom of the marketplace so farmers can produce, sell and export at will. Congress also took steps to build public confidence in government by passing legis­ lation to limit outside income by Members^^CSngress and require financial disclosure. These measures should «help create the trust between citi­ zens and their representatives in Washington that is essen­ tial to good government. The agenda for the second session of the 95th Congress will be a lone But the BIBLE VERSE "Whatsoeverye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through« him." 5 f 1.
