UntMl on Nhqf. 12 As farmers work in the field an increased number of hours this planting season, this is a good time to remind them about the need to protect their hearing, says Mrs. Ella Martin, chairman of the McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's committee. "We think of rural areas as being quieter and less hectic than cities, but consider the possible sources of loud, con­ tinuous noises on the farm," she urged. Power equipment, tractors and combines, feed grinders, snowmobiles, power tools, and firearms contribute to noise pollution, she warns. The farm home also has its share of noises, from stereos with the latest teen-age hit, to a garbage disposal grinding away or a power lawn mower breaking the quiet just ouside the bedroom or living room window, she suggested. A U.S. Public Health service study shows farmers have a higher incidence of hearing loss than men in other occupations. One of the most common ear troubles seen by doctors in farming areas is hearing loss due to acoustical trauma. Boys often begin operating farm equipment at an N early age. They're around it quite a few years and their hearing is damaged, Dr. John Gregg of the University of South Dakota warns. What should you do about the onslaught of noise? Mrs. Martin, who lives on a farm west of Marengo, offers some . suggestions: Control the source Of the noise; enclose the source of the noise, and protect the ear with appropriate ear protec- % tors. 1. All who wodt in agriculture should have their hearing tested. 2. Use ear protection-muffs or plugs-on all noisy jobs: Operating farm machinery, blasting, while driving snowmobiles and other noisy vehicles, and when grinding feed, for example. 3. Regard quiet operation as a plus when considering the purchase of equipment, in­ cluding household equipment. 4. Keep equipment well lubricated and maintained. Replace defective mufflers and exhaust system parts, 5. Many uninsulated tractor and combine cabs can be, quieted with acoustic treat­ ment. --; ^ 6. Stationery equipm sometimes can be quieted enclosing noisy components, erecting an acoustic barrier or a partition. 7. Get away from a loud noise if you don't need to be around it. Opportunities Exist In Health Care Fields Career opportunities do exist in the health care field at salary levels that are competitive with other professions and skills. That's good to know for both young people looking for a worthwhile career and for people restless and desiring to perform useful services for others. Memorial hospital for McHenry county, which ob­ served National Hospital week this past week, is a good example of varied careers and professions requiring different amounts of education and training. Some require ex­ tensive education but others can be learned while on the job. Over half the hospital's 290 employees are nurses, but that still leaves many good job opportunities awaiting con­ scientious, caring people. The list of jobs in large hospitals extend to more than 100. At Memorial hospital at least fifty distinctive skills and professions are in evidence. Many of them offer em­ ployment opportunities now as this nation continues to em­ phasize improved health care. Among them: Physical t h e r a p i s t s , m e d i c a l technicians, X-ray technicians, medical records, pharmacists, r e s p i r a t o r y t h e r a p i s t s ; dietitians, operating room registered nurses, engineers, housekeepers, puFdNfeing s p e c i a l i s t s , m a t e r i a l s management, public relations, social work,' and hospital management. Improved quality care that includes a team of skilled people on the hospital and medical staffs are contributing to a reduction in the number of days people stay in hospitals now. The patient's stay is shorter, helping reduce the overall cost per person. BIBLE VERSE "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me?
