Screen Products Co. Open House Proves Successful Affair

Open House last Saturday after­noon at American Screen Products Company was attended by approx­imately five hundred people.

Factory tours were conducted in groups by various supervisors of the company. These groups were taken from beginning of pro­cess to the end for the complete fabricating of the screens.

Some of the more interesting processes seen on the tour includ­ed the slitting of coil aluminum into various widths which was then processed through the rolling mill.

Various saw operations and pre­assembly operations were per­formed to fabricate the complete screen frame. The screen frame i and aluminum wire cloth were as- j sembled a t final assembly ma- 1 chines which completed the units ( for shipment.

The weaving of the aluminum screen cloth is initiated by wind­ing three to four thousand feet of wire on Warp drums. These drums are then inserted into looms, which in turn weaves the cloth into the desired widths and lengths. This particular aluminium cloth is then painted in a large forty foot paint tower where the paint is applied and dried by gas jets. This doth is then cut to size and used in the final assem­bly of screens.

Refreshments of coffee and donuts were served by the wives of the foremen and Mrs. Lenore Eacret, office secretary.

A public address system set up by Ortman Electric furnished mu­sical recording background selec­tions for the occasion. Rosemary Ortman, besides being sound en­gineer, supplied records and was also in charge of checking the a t­tendance.

Upon entering the building col­orful bouquets of flowers were in evidence sent for this special day. Added touches of color were th e ! bright, colorful sport shirts worn by the guides, typical of their home office state of Florida.

Kenneth Hanson supplied fold­ing chairs to meet the needs and comfort of the visitors.

T^e rraracernent feels it was a most sucessful open house and wisfies to thank those who a t­tended, and sincerely hope the visitors enjoyed It as much as American Screen Products Com­pany did in holding an open house for them.

From an observer’s standpoint the cleanliness of the building and workers, clean factory machinery, together with safety device mea­sures was most outstanding. The work and assembly was done cleanly, each worker wearing a white shirt, some wearing leather gloves for protection. I t was evi­dent that the factory was a most healthy place to work and it was noted that wherever possible workers were seated a t their var­ious special jobs. Impressions of a substantial, long lasting busi­ness for Chatsworth was visual­ized by those in attendance.

The most interesting opera­tions viewed by the spectators in the factory truly makes American Screen Products Co. an asset to the community of Chatsworth.

Mr. Curtis has sanded the desks and tables. Sad to relate, the initials and drawings of several genera­tions of famous alumni were thereby obliterated and removed from the prying gaze of posterity.

The new football field has been graded and leveled, but not seed­ed. The old athletic field will still be in use this year.

New desks were purchased for the sixth grade and a dozen extra seats have been added to the first grade.

The large enrollment in the grade school is causing a problem both in the seating and from a teaching point of view. The final grade school schedule has not been settled upon as yet.

Drouth Will Make For Hardships This Coming Winter

“The real pinch on this drouth is going to start next winter.” That was the remark made by George H. Reuss, State Director of the farm and Home Administra­tion, to which 30 farm leaders, credit men, and representatives of Government agencies, meeting at Greenville, Illinois,, Friday. His comments summarized the many problems under discussion at the meeting which was called by the Illinois Agricultural Association to find ways of softening effects of drouth in southern Illinois.

Representatives of 31 counties in the southern third of the state unanimously approved a resolu­tion requestion that cross compli­ance acreage allotments not be in­cluded in the 1955 agricultural stabilization program for the drouth disaster counties of Illinois.

The resolution introduced by Ar- thus Monke, president of Mont­gomery County Farm Bureau, is aimed at clearing the way for the planting of barley and other small grains this fall to replace the corn lost in the drouth. The barley is to be used as livestock feed in lieu of corn.

Farmers at the meeting also ap­proved a resolution asking the Il­linois Agricultural Association board to study the present effects of having the drouth area declared a disaster area. The resolution further asked the IAA to act on the basis of its studies.

During the morning session of the meeting, the variety of prob­lems confronting farmers as a re­sult of the prolonged dry spell were discussed.

“Our situation is serious as far as grain is concerned, but it’s des­perate for roughage,” stated one- farmer. A man from a different -’ren said. “We can get a lot of feed out of the damaged chrn, hut if we don't feed it, it's all waste. What we need is credit for buying livestock.”

He was followed by Reuss, who explained the Farm and Home Ad­ministration production emergency loans could not be permitted for purchase of livestock unless live­stock was already an established part of a borrow's operation.

In explaining the 3% emergency loan, Reuss said they could be us­ed for feed, seed, pertoleum and other direct production needs. Reuss said the emergency loans were for use only to back up the frrmer’s primary sources of cred­it, such as banks. He said the greatest problems were encoun­tered by young men just starting to farm, who went through the drouth period with large debts. He said in such cases an emer­gency loan may be worked out with the borrower and his bank so that the farmer has an opportun­ity for the production that would improve his status as a risk.

Speaking for the bankers, Mr. G. J. McCune, a Greenville bank- -- *nd piemhor of the Illinois \ Bankers Association Agricultural committee, said, "We are ready to see this thing through with the farmers.” He pointed out that the Federal government could help by insuring a large supply of hay and seed grain at a low cost. This, he said, would help to prevent stretching private credit resourc­es farther than they should go. |

The Greenville meeting w as1 chairmaned by IAA Vice President Otto Steffey, a Stronghurst farm- ! er. The IAA is the statewide 1 Farm Bureau organization.

It was announced at the m eet-' ing that three bins of Government owned com, in danger of being j damaged by the angoumois moth \ in southern Illinois, had been sold to farmers at current market pric­es.

Edmund C. Secor, acting chair­man of the Agricultural Stabiliza­tion committee, spoke before the group on the problems connected with releasing, at current market price, more of the Government- owned com stored in the angou­mois moth section of Illinois. He pointed out that not all of the nearly 3 million bushels held by the government in the area could be released to prevent loss. But he said that an inspector is now at work to determine which bins could be released.

Don’t Vaccinate Unless You Have Swine Erysipelas

Vaccination against swine ery­sipelas is usually necessary only on infected farms, according to University of Illinois veterinar­ians,

Since erysipelas varies on se­verity on different farms,work out your own vaccination program with your veterinarian. Research

, has shown that the live culture and anti-erysipelas antiserum now

I being used will not “seed” the dis­ease on your farm. The treat-

, ment is allso safe to use on preg- I nans .sows. Two new bacterias ' for swine erysipelas are being ! tested, but don’t appear to be as effective as the culture-antiserum treatment.

I Erysipelas is taking a heavier toll of swine in Illinois this year than in the past Pigs that get the disease and recover are often stunted and unthrifty, and may pass the disease to other animals.

Call ydur veterinarian if you suspect that any of your pigs have this disease. TTie common symp­tom of the chronic form is an en­largement of the joints. Acute erysipelas symptoms resemble hog cholera and the wrong treatment may be disastrous to your herd.

The disease is spread in drop­pings and will live in the soil for several years, so keep healthy stock off pastures which have been used by affected pigs. As sheep and turkeys can also get erysipelas, keep them on separate pastures.

If erysipelas shows up, burn or bury any dead animls. Cultivate your old infected lots and pastures end keep swine, sheep and turkeys off of them. Clean and disinfect your houses and equipment with a solution of one pound of lye mixed in 30 gallons of boiling water.

You can get a very painful dis­ease called erysipeloid by handling infected animals. To prevent this, always wear gloves and wash and disinfect your hands after hand­ling diseased animals.

VVHAT FERTILIZER TO USE WHERE

When fertilizing this fall, try this rule of thumb. For flowers and non-leafy vegetables, use 5-10-5 fertilizer (5 % ^ nitrogen, 10% phosphate, and 5% potash.) For grass, evergreens and leafy vegetables such as spinach and cabbage, use 10-6-4. For root veg- eables, such as potatoes, use 5-10-10. Whenever possible, of course, this should pe supplement­ed by barnyard manure and com­post. — Changing Times.

keeping his regained health.But medical check-ups to make

sure tuberculosis isn’t ruining one’s health are not only a con­cern of the former patient. Every individual 15 years of age and over, whether or not he looks and feels healthy, should get a chest x-ray as part of his annual phy­sical examination to make sure that his lungs are sound.

A person can have tuberculosis without knowing it, and without looking or feeling as if he has it. For when tuberculosis first strikes it seldom makes itself known with obvious symptoms. Hence, a person unaware that he is ill with tuberculosis will unwittingly allow his illness to progress until apparent symptoms cause him to visit his doctor. These outward symptoms rarely appear before the disease has reached an advanc­ed stage—when tuberculosis is dif­ficult to cure.

But there is a way of detecting tuberculosis in an early stage, the stage that is easiest to cure. It is by means of the chest x-ray which can show up evidence of tu-

1 berculosis in the lungs in the earliest stages.

A chest x-ray shows one of two things. The chest x-ray film will be clear, indicating that there is no evidence of disease and a per­son’s lungs are sound. Or, the

I film will show up shadows or sus- j picious signs, indicating that | something may be wrong and that j further investigation is needed. Diagnosis of tuberculosis is NEV­ER made on evidence of a chest x-ray alone. Other tests are made before final diagnosis.

One good report on an x-rav film, however, does not guarantee a person against tuberculosis for life. We cannot be certain that tuberculosis will not strike at a late date. That is why your doc­tor, your health department, rnd your tuberculosis association urge that every adult have a chest x-ray at least once a year.

It is estimated that there are about a quarter of a million "un­known” cases of tuberculosis in this country—people unknown to the health authorities, many of whom do not even know they are ill. If every adult had a chest x-ray annually, these “unknown") cases would be found and tuber-1 culosis would be discovered more often in an early stage when it is easiest to cure.

If you haven’t had your annual FREE chest x-ray, today is the day to get it. I t is a wonderful feeling to know that you are safe from this dreadful disease, and to know that you have done your part In this very important com­munity program.

REFUSING FREE CHEST X-RAYS IS STUPID

It is most surprising the ex­cuses that people give for not ac­cepting free x-ray examination of the chest. There is really nothing to it. There is nothing embarrass­ing, you don't have to undress, very little time is Involved—all one has to do is fill out a card, step up to the machine, and bingo, it’s over. A few days later yqu receive a confidential report on what was found.

Simple isn’t it? There is no cost involved. It might save a life, and you would think people would be glad to have the x-ray. However, that isn’t true. For many people have to be “sold” on the idea, and several absolutely refuse. How stupid this is when continued re­fusal might lead to serious illness —perhaps death!

The excuses for refusal are many. Some vain persons don’t want to tell their age—they for­get that all information is confi­dential. Also, unless an issue is .-nade, it is very rare for an a t­tendant to remember such infor­mation.

Did you ever say, “I don’t have the time right now." It's a com­mon excuse, and very often an ex-ray could be taken in the time one takes to explain why he does­n’t have the time.

Older people will often tell you, “I'm too old to get it now." What a fallacy! TB is no respecter of age, anyone can get it. Because of the fact that years ago there was no definite control program, and chest x-ray was expensive and new, there are many older persons who may be harboring the disease and are daily jeopardizing the lives of their loved ones and their friends.

Another excuse is “I’m too

tired.” Better look into that tired feeling. It could be a danger sig­nal.

“I’ll be back later,” “I had an x-ray a few years ago," “I’m not sick,” and “I'm too bashful" are a few more reasons that have been offered for not taking ad­vantage of the x-ray examinations offered in connection with a tu­berculosis control program.

However, the excuse given most frequently, and the one which up­sets us the most, is “what I don’t know won’t hurt me”! There is no doubt that we can’t fear what we don’t know. It is also true, wheth­er we. admit it or not, that we can't live forever; but we should take advantage of any protective measures offered by medical and scientific research, and perhaps we can delay the fateful day by several years. Whether it be a tuberculosis control program or any other health program, there is reason for it's existence, and it is sheer stupidty when we fail to take advantage of the protective measures offered.

In his most recent drouth re­port, Dr. A. M. Buswell, chief of the Illinois State Water Survey Division, said that southern and south central Illinois face more serious water shortages than oc­curred in 1953 unless there are heavy rains to recharge water so urces.

He said streamflow and ground- water conditions appear worse than they did at this time last year.

The southern one-third of the state had a rainfall deficiency of from seven to 12 inches during the period from October 1953, through May 1954, Dr. Buswell said.

In plainer words — Buick today is outselling all other cars in America except two of these so-called “low- price three.” And this has come about because of Buick’s advanced year-ahead styling, great V8 power, big-car room and comfort — all for prices starting right close to the lowest.

A new complaint has been reg­istered against the birds. A farm­er, living near the Illinois river, claims that large flpcks of barn

1 swallows are sucking the milk out of his corn. He believed that near-

| ly half of the ears in his field were damaged. The swallows swoop down into the field, peck at

| the husks and strip them down as much as half way when the ears are in the milk stage, then press their beaks into the kernels to sip out the milk.

WANTA BUY A USED FIRE TRUCK?

A city in Iowa had 35 old fire | trucks that were no longer very effective for fighting fires. They decided to junk them. Then of­fers began coming to buy the old engines, so the city council de­cided to raise a little money by putting the old trucks up for auc­tion.

INVENTION PREVENTS CRACKED HEADS

Two men in New York have In­vented a device they claim will save lives in traffic accidents. The leading cause of automobile deaths is striking the head against the dashi>oard. The invention is to prevent this type of contact. A scissors type assembly attached under a car seat operates when a knob on the front of the car is hit in a collision. It sets a hy­draulic piston in action and the "scissors” open. This tilts lAck the seat and throws the rider's feet up and his head back to pre­vent him from being catapulted into the dashboard. In sudden stops, the force of inertia would have the same effect. The invent­ors believe their gadget would provide safety and be more ap­pealing than safety belts. That theory is somewhat questioned, however, for elderly people espe­cially might protest against doing backward somersaults or barrel rolls into the rear seat, especially if it happened very often.

BUILDING BOOM WILL CONTINUE NEXT YEAR

i This year a million houses will i be built, and it looks as if next ! year will be another housing hup> dinger. This is also the biggest year yet for the construction of new school buildings. A total of one billion, 800 million dollars is being spent on the public schools. And more than a half billion will be spent on churches this year.

Stores, office buddings, high­ways, — the boom continues. But not as mny new factories are go­ing up. Still factory construction will continue to be high for the foreseeable future—a bright sign for a healthy economy ahead. — Changing Times.

BOMBS CHANGE LIFE ON EARTH

A scientist claims that atomic radiation is at work changing hu­man life on the earth. This was going on slowly by natural radia­tion, but the process has been speeded up by the explosion of the atomic bombs. The scientist fears the changes will be for the worse. He predicts the production of nu­merous defective individuals, if the human race survives for many generations. He conceded the gains derived might outweigh the damage done. Of one thing he was sure and that was human be­ings of the future would be differ­ent. These changes would be pass­ed on to the offspring. Some of | the changes indicated are color blindness, night blindness, sersi-

, tivlty to certain tastes, mental de­fects and early death. More dis­cuses attributed to heredity would probably be found, according to the scientist.

Hail Takes Heavy Toll of Crops In State This Season

Hail has taken a heavy toll of Illinois farm crops, inflicting an es-

I timated $12 million in damage this season. This was released recent-

1 Iv by Darrell Achenbach, manager of an insurance company affiliat­ed with the Illinois Agricultural

| Association. He also stated that this loss is only partially covered by insurance.

"Farms In some 90 Illinois coun­ties, ranging from Jo Daviess in the north to Alexander in the south have suffered from hail storms,” Achenbach said. He sard this was the largest number of

! counties hit by hail in the com­pany's history.

“A record, number of 13,000 claims have also been reported to the company," Achenbach said. The IAA is the statewide Farm Bureau organization,

i A survey made by the company shows that hall can strike several times in the same area. For ex­ample, McLean, Sangamon and Mercer counties have each had 13 hail storms to date, he said,

j Fourteen counties have reported more than 10 hail storms and 45 counties have reported from 5 to 9 hail storms this year. Only 12

i Illinois counties have not reported any hall storms during 1954, Ach­enbach said.

| One of the worst storms this year occurred August 9, when 36 counties were hit, and another on

1 August 2, when 29 counties were | hit. A July 6 storm damaged the crops in 20 counties. On 70 days

. this summer, hall storms have struck farm crops somewhere in rural Illinois, he said.

Dwight Stages Very Successful Centennial

The neighboring town of Dwight celebrated its centennial last week and the citizens really put forth an effort to make their program a success. Store windows were load­ed with antiques. There were spin­ning wheels, an ancient wooden coffin, mustache cups, shaving mugs, curling irons, old wooden planes, cradles (both the kind used to harvest grain and the kind for babies to sleep in), soap stone foot warmers, flat irons, beautiful antique dishes, candle molds, butter paddles, old books', queer little bone dishes, and even a baggage holder from the Chats­worth wreck. An interested spec­tator could spend hours looking at the exhibits.

A pageant, The Growth of a Village,” was presented several evenings at the high school ath­letic field. Atx&t 570 persons had a part in the pageant. Local citi­zens were made up and costumed to represent as nearly as possible the founding fathers. A fine band and choral group furnished a background of music.

As the narrator related the story he mentioned settlements that existed at the time Dwight was founded and one of them was Oliver’s Grove. Early arrivals came by covered wagon and mule teams. The prospectors went through town with their little burros. The ever present Indians rode through and some of the young ones (grade school chil­dren) stayed to put on a war dance.

An important event was the building of the railroad; then came the long awaited moment whgi the first train arrived. A very realistic looking train came puffing in, blowing smoke and clanging its Bell.

One of the incidents portrayed was the visit of the Prince of Wales, later King of England. He came out to shoot prairie chick­ens. In the absence of prairie chickens they released a few pig­eons as targets. A sidelight on this event (not part of the pageant, but a story recalled by Chats­worth people) was that Mrs. Re- beccah Sterne, mother of the late Mrs. E. R. Stoutemyer, was a little girl living near Dwight at that time (1860). The prince’s hunting party stopped there to get a drink of water. The well was a peculiar type, operated with a chain. The city bred people did not know how it worked so this little girl, who later became “grandmother Sterne” went out and pumped water for the Prince of Wales and his friends.

There was an attempt at one time to change the name of the town. One group wanted it to be called “Dogtown.” but this lost by one vote and the name Dwight was retained.

One of the most touching scenes was when the Lincoln funeral train passed through Dwight, with its flag draped coffin. The entire town was in mourning and came out to watch the train, eveq though it was the middle of the night.

On the lighter side was the fire of 1870. Of course a fire isn't fun­ny, but the men running around in their night shirts, underwear and comical little nightcaps pull­ing an ancient fire engine and forming a bucket brigade to put out the fire, were very funny in­deed.

There was a lamp lighting scene that wasn’t supposed to be funny, but drew a chuckle from the aud­ience. The first gas U...p (syn­thetic variety) was installed near the depot. Along came the lamp lighter with his long pole to light the lamp He tried twice and fail­ed, then he walked away In dis­gust. A young man ran out, plugged in a cord and the light came on by itself, much to the amusement of the crowd.

The evening closed with a half hour display of very colorful and unusual fireworks.

On Sunday there was a double celebration, for both the centen­nial and the ho§pital day. An esti­mated crowd of 45,000 watched the parade that lasted more than 1V4 hours.

Chatsworth people who drove old time cars in the parade were Mr. and Mrs. Leland Koemer, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Baltz and a Legion car operated by Wes Johnson, Jim Edwards and Floyd Edwards.--------- o---------O. O. OLIVER NAMED VICE PRESIDENT OF ILLINOIS BRAHMAN ASSN.
