Here Rnd There In Businese Fofeign-Based Firms In Illinois Employ 2,700 Long Service Twenty-seven foreign- based firms employing more ihan 2,700 people have located in Illinois since 1978 according to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA). The firms represent a total capital investment of more than $64 million and their products and services in­ clude bicycle parts; con­ c r e t e ; c h e m i c a l s ; photographic - supplies; containers; steel; electronic video games; banking; and warehousing. "These 27 firms represent only those we assisted or are aware of." .John W Castle, DCCA director, said, "and by no means represent the iota! foreign investment in the stale since 1978 "Twenty-one of the companies are European ' based," Castle said, "and the remaining six are" Japanese The most recent addition is Hella North America of Germany. The company's automobile lighting component factory was dedicated June 6 in Flora." A The preponderance of European firms in Illinois is undoubtedly due to the early establishment of the State of Illinois Brussels, Belgium office in 1968. Illinois offices in Hong Kong and Sao Paulo, Brazil, were opened in 1974 and 1976 respectively. "Our efforts in Asia and South America are just now beginning to pay off on a scale equal to the European office," Castle said "We have intensified our efforts significantly in the Near EasK and Far East," Castle said "The annual building and construction outlay among Arab nations exceeds $27 billion," Castle said, "and we're determined to help secure a significant portion of that market for Illinois.

ILL <385-9670 Garbage Cans And Can's (The following in­ formation is reprinted from Family Safety). Several years ago " wo small" boys found a bottle that had been tossed in a vacant lot behind their babv sitters home. They thought it contained "stuff to polish cars with" and rubbed it on a junked automobile. But the bottle contained insecticide, not a car polish, and one child died and the other became ill after they played with it. Carless disposal of rubbish may injure the unwary, and it's not just thoughtlessly discarded litter, but household garbage aid old appliances that can bring you to grief. What's good for you and your ne.ghbor will also be good for your garbage collector. More than one- fourth of the injuries suf­ fered by refuse collectors on the job are due to carelessly disposed sharp objects and dangerous chemicals, ac­ cording to the National Solid Wastes Management association. And while you may have a good idea of what's in the trash, your refuse collector doesn't, so cuts, eye irritations and chemical burns are com­ mon. Separating sharp items from the rest of the trash will help prevent anyone getting cut. Place broken glass in a paper bag and wrap it in newspaper before discar­ ding, or put it in empty cans or milk cartons. Remember, glass jars can break in the trash if several are thrown on lop of each other. Slip the lids from tin cans into the empty cans before you toss them out. If an old TV set is left outdoors, kids may be tempted to break the glass. A picture tube can implode and send sharp splinters of glass flying. Ask a qualified technician to dispose of the set for you, if possible. Burned-out fluorescent tubes and large glass iter^s such as old storm windows should be set out at the last possible moment-even as the garbage truck ap­ proaches. Drain cleaners, ammonia and other household chemicals can burn the skin if allowed to spill from containers. Rinse the con­ tainer and replace the cap before you throw it, out. There can be ertbugH residue on just the inside of a bottle cap to cause injury. Car batteries can cause acid burns and should not be left where children can play with them. Most service stations and stores where batteries are sold will take them back and even provide a small rebate. Check the label for special instructions when disposing of hazardous chemicals such as pesticides. An explorative child will think nothing of sifting through the garbage if given the opportunity. And a child may try to taste the contents of a mysterious container. Don't dispose of chemicals or poisons in cups, soft drink bottles or containers that normally hold food or drink. 'Never throw old medicines into the trash. Even a child­ proof cap may not stop a pint-size explorer. Flush old drugs down the toilet and rinse the container before tossing. If you aren't certain matches and cigarettes are completely out, dump them into the toilet, the garbage disposal or a covered metal can. v Don't leave flammable substances out for your refuse collector, eithfer, because they've been known to catch fire in garbage trucks. The National Solid Wastes Management association suggests you contact your fire department or solid waste disposal agency to advise on safe, legal ways to dispose of unwanted gasoline or solvents. Aerosol spray cans may explode when punctured or thrown in a fire. If you burn paper trash in an incinerator, never put non-burnable trash with garbage to be burned. This includes glass jars with the lids on. Batteries may also explode from the intense heat, as may light bulbs. An old refrigerator sitting in the back alley or on the curb is an invitation to a child to come on in. And loo many kids who do don't come out. Last year in just two incidents - one in Canada and the other in New Mexico - six children died in abandoned refrigerators. Between 1970 and . 1977, 74 children died in refrigerators, according to Refrigeration Service Engineers records. Although refrigerators manufactured today have magnetic seals rather than old-fashhioned latches, this won't ensure against tragedy. Many children play h i d e - a n d - s e e k i n refrigerators and suffocate before they are aware of any danger. Anyone with an unused refrigerator should remove the door and then have the refrigerator carted away. In many states it is illegal to leave a door on a refrigerator being junked. Wait until the last possible moment to set a refrigerator out for pickup. Employment Suryey ~ Local representatives of the Bureau of the Census will conduct a survey of em­ ployment in this area during the work week Of July 14-19, Stanley D. Moore, director of the bureau's regional office in Chicago, has announced. The survey is conducted for the U.S. Department of Labor in a scientifically designed sample of ap­ p r o x i m a t e l y 8 4 , 0 0 0 households throughout the United States. In May, the survey in­ dicated that of the 105.1 million men and women in the civilian labor force, 97.0 million were employed. The nation's unemployment rate was 7.8 percent, up from 7.0 percent in April and 6.2 percent in March.
