ANOTHER KIND OF POLLUTION!
Much talk is heard about pollution . . . what it is doing to our natural resources, our air, etc Pollution definately has grown to be a problem. but one more form of pollution is to the ridiculous point, that being litter pollution that being litter pollution. It might not harm the resources like smoke, exhaust, waste materials from manufacturing .etc., but the pollution of our land from a sight standpoint is getting ridiculous. The unexplanable urge to throw things here, there, and everywhere has made many roadsides a deplorable thing to see. Add to this the many so called junk yards and salvage places that pop up here and there without any real method or orderly fashion of disposing of this material, and you have some of the biggest eyesores you could ever hope to see. The fact that this happens and many governmental agencies are trying hard to clean it up. brings to point one more item . . . money ... an item

that is dear to everyone. It is taking locally thousands of dollars and man hours to eliminate something that shouldn t be there in the first place. The time it takes for a crew, whether local, county or state to clean up a one mile stretch is really something and to do this on all roads as it should be .is just an impossible job due to time and money. Most people are guilty of throwing something from a car window now and then, but a continued assault of this type plus just simply dumping junk and other materials along the road because no one is looking, is completely uncalled for. What the answer is to the problem is simple . . . simple if you could get the cooperation of everyone. It boils down to simply just the matter of getting the people to stop this foolish action. This is a next to impossible job. but any percentage of help that can be given is a step in the right direction. It starts with you and me . . . every individual to help blot out this problem.

Spring cleaning is about to begin or in some cases already has. The spring season brings out the best in most people and they usually have a lot of vim and vigor. The cleaning of the house is an everyday chore, but w hen spring comes, the whole place is gone over inch by inch. One thing to keep in mind Is not to do too much all in one day. Save some of that energy for tomorrow. Use the easy cleaners and polishers to help save yourself from a loss of elbow grease. — MSG — Also with spring comes the thoughts of cooking outdoors. Aly, that outdoor cooking sure does have a flavor all its own. A few ideas are to save yourself from having to gather together each time the meal moves outdoors, the various spreads and seasonings your family likes, such as nonperishable condiments and spread to be in Special containers that can b»> carried back and forth all spring and summer long. Also do the same with refrigerator items, maybe a lazy Susan type refrigerator type carrier could be used to just place in a basket to be carried anywhere Outdoor eating-only dispensers of salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, ketchup and must ard containers that are unbreakable should be thought of Most men get a kick out of cooking outdoors if they have just one or two dishes to cope with and not with the whole menu. So keep up their enthusiasm by preparing some of the food ahead of time indoors. It also makes is easy on the wife too. Another handy item on the market is foil, it can be used for many things, even pans. Have fun by cook.ing outdoors this year. —MS G — How to spend less time gardening and more tune enjoying your garden one obvious solution to the problem of finding more time is to devote more yard space to paving, less to things that grow and have to be tended Not only is paving practical as a means of saving labor, but it can be highly attractive. The intelligent use of paving in yards and gardens
gives a sense of orderliness and establishment that our ancestors found attractive. Brick is probably the most generously and practical material for paving, whether for patios or walks. Also avoid the hard-to-<mow spots where you have to use shears to clip straggly wisps ( of grass. The easiest spots to i get rid of are the tight, rectangular corners Dig 'em up, i plant a shrub or tree, treat the soil in the dug-up area liberally and repeatedly with a reliable , preemergent grass and weedseed killer and then apply a deep gravel or pebble mulch all around the shrub or tree. Fin- , ally put down a brick mowing strip as an edging. Don’t plant too many fussy things such as pansies and petunias, for example, they have to be kept picked all the time if they are to do anything. Hybrid tea roses call for very regular spraying and have to be pruned just so, else they won’t perform well. If you don't have much time for gardening plant a lot of things that will get along with almost no care at all. such as ivy, vinca, hosta, daylilies, marigolds, lavender, colons, Stokesia, balloon flowers, portulaca, perennial sweet peas, daffodils, bearded iris and lythrum. Then if you must, have one small bed where you can concentrate on all the things that call for frequent attention. Better still, try potted plants. A few pots of showy flowers azaleas in early summer, geraniums during the hot season, mums and asters during the fall can be stuck here and there in beds devoted to carefree plants such as English ivy or vinca The foliage plants will conceal the pots quite effectively and the result will be attractive and quite imposing. —Ms G — The workmen began tearing out the trees and brush by the roots to clear tiie property on Michigan Street in Walkerton where a new business is to go up in the future. Fill dirt has been brought in and is being spread around to improve the property. —MS G — It is a crying shame the way we Americans throw trash out on the highways and along the berm If you want to get disgusted, just travel along the highway. A good project for a service club would be to pick up this trash and sell the aluminum cans. It would be worth looking into. Remember.

The Drug Dilema Drugs Linked To Defects Medical research is presenting convincing evidence that certain drugs can be definitely linked to birth defects and other physical damage. Dr. Cecil B. Jacobson, a George Washinnigton University geneticist, has reported finding a serious kind of brain and skull defect in four out of 14 stillborn babies of women who had used LSD. This is an incidence of more than one fourth Ihe usual incidence of this effect in normal childbirth and stillbirth is only 4 3 cases out of 1,000. Dr. Jacobson also found "moderate' to 'severe' chromosome breakages defects in genetic material, capable of being passed on to offspring in "at least 50 percent” of 75 female LSD users examined at George Washington University since the summer of 1967. He found the same kind of chrmosome defects in the young women who produced defective babies, and in the babies blood cells and tissues The findings of Dr. Jacobsen represent one of the most powerful pieces of evidence to date that LSD use, by prospective father or mother, may produce defective babies. The babies of the LSD using women were born with the brain outside the skull of some and other problems. Drugs other thna LSD have been linked with physical defects. Dr. Carl S. Alexander, a heart specialist with the Veterans Administration, cautions that two kinds of tranquilizers and antidepressant pills apparently can cause heart damage if large doses are taken for a long time. The damage shows up in disturbed heart rhythms, enlargement of the heart or in heart attacks. Dr. Alexander said in describing eight such instances. Other medical reports linked the drugs with suspicion of being the cause of sudden deaths, he told the American Heart Association. The two classes of drugs, he said, are phenothiazin tranquilizers and antidepressants, or psychic energizers of the family known as imipramines. Most instances of heart damage have been noted among patients in mental institutions, he said. For them, large daily doses of the drugs are prescribed for months or years to treat schizophrenia and anxiety states, or to combat severe depression. But one of his eight patients was a 30 year old man, a nursing assistant, who showed heart flutter and enlarged heart after self-dosing himself with antidepressant drugs because of gloom over marriage troubles. Dr. Alexander said.
