I or Food Handling ' Jn Cause Illness

/ By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent f Poor food handling practices in the home often cause illness in the family, even though the foods were safe to eat when purchased or just prepared. Outbreaks of illness from food contaminated by harmful bacteria are especially common during hot summer months when perishable foods are carried on

picnics and cookouts) without proper refrigeration. To avoid the spread of bacteria thoroughly clean all dishes, utensils and work surfaces with soap and water after each use. Bacteria can be destroyed by rinsing utensils and work surfaces with chlorine bleach in the proportion recommended on the package. Cutting boards, meat grinders, blenders and can

openers particularly need this protection. Staph is the most common type of food poisoning. This bacteria grows profusely between the temperatures of 44 degrees and 115 degrees F. Symptoms of the illness include vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Generally this is a mild illness and the person infected believes he has had the flu. Staph poisoning can be prevented by keeping cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Salmonella a more severe food poisoning can be transmitted by several methods including household pets. Homemade ice cream made with cracked eggs that are not cooked is often a cause of salmonella poisoning. Cooked meats, gravies and meat dishes held without proper refrigeration can be the cause of Clostridium Perfringess poisoning. The symptoms include nausea without vomiting, diarrhea and acute stomach inflammation. The victim is usually well again within twentyfour hours. The rarest and deadliest type of food poisoning is botulism. The fatality rate is high, in the United States about 65 per cent. Botulism spores grow and produce toxin in the absence of oxygen, such as in a sealed container. Home canned foods are usually the source of this illness. Green beans are most often the source. Never use a hot water bath to can green beans, use a pressure canner. If you have used a hot water bath for beans in the past and have never had any problems you have been lucky. Botulism doesn’t cause the food to smell or look spoiled. Be especially careful during the hot summer months to protect your family against food borne illnesses. When attending picnics and carry in dinners, keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Recipe: The recipe this week comes from the Chit Chat club. This is the chicken salad that was served at the Presidents Council meeting. Hot Baked Chicken Salad 2 cups chicken chopped, 2 cups celery chopped, ¥2 cup almonds shopped, 1 cup salad dressing or mayonnaise, ¥2 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. onion minced, 2 T. lemon juice, Vi cup cheese grated, 1 cup potato chips crushed, 2 hard cooked eggs chopped. Combine chicken, celery, almonds, salad dressing, salt, lemon juice.and onion. Pour into a greased casserole dish. Mix remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over casserole. Bake 450 degrees F. for 10 minutes. Yield — 6 servings. Ebenezer Ladies Hold Meeting Mrs. Mary Harper was hostess fix' the July meeting of the Ebenezer Ladies Aid with 18 members and four guests in attendance. Mrs. Calvin Beck, president, opened the meeting with the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arm”. Mrs. Harper gave devotions and read an article on silence, followed by group participation in “The Lord’s Prayer.” A report was given on the sick and the fact Mrs. Melbem Rapp had fallen and was unable to attend the meeting. Mrs. R. Wilkinson closed with prayer. Mrs. Arthur Morris assisted the hostess in serving. refreshments. SIGNALS ARE IMPORTANT The Chicago Motor Club-AAA says a signal in time may save lives. A late, or too brief, signal is littje better than no signal at all. Other drivers don’t know what you intend to do — even though you do. Use directional signals well enough in advance of your driving maneuver.

Building Trades Class To Construct Storage

Lakeland school board members gave approval last night (Tuesday) for the building trades class under Rudy Cesco to construct a storage building for equipment at Wawasee high school. Mr. Cesco, with almost 20 years experience in the building trades industry, before he became an instructor will use the building as a class project during the 1972-73 school year. The new building is to be 136 x 28 feet and will house the heavy equipment owned by the school corporation and the field equipment of the track, baseball and football teams. It is to be made of cement block with frame construction inside and wooden rafters. Old lights from the Syracuse school will be used and a soffet trim on the outside will blend it with the rest of the buildings at the high school site. It will be built parallel to the fence on Kern road on the back side of the school’s property with the area in front to be used for parking. The building will have no windows, two overhead doors and two service doors. Business manager Marion Lantz is to work with Mr. Cesco and his class in purchasing materials for the building which is expected to cost $9,000. The money will come from the capital outlay account. Books Audited The books of the corporation and the extra curricular accounts have recently been audited by the state board of accounts with no comments being made on the way the corporation books had been kept during the past two years and no errors being found. The corporation was advised to use a more detailed account and a new form, which is currently being designed, for the extra curricular accounts which are handled by the various schools and organizations in the corporation. Mr. Lantz, who serves as the school corporation’s treasurer, stated it was the most thorough audit ever received here and he appreciated it. The board agreed to move the sick room and nurses station at Milford junior high school from the second floor to the main floor so it would be near the principal’s office. It will be opposite the girls restroom with lavatory and vanity to be added to the room at a cost, of S3OO. The permanent nurses station will be in this area. Radiators in the hallway at the Milford school will also be moved to two classrooms that are hard to heat in the winter and a third radiator will be moved from

Syracuse to the old stage area in the upstairs where there has been no heat. This will cost approximately S4OO. Superintendent Don H. Arnold recommended Nancy Nelson, first grade teacher at Milford, to fill the reading specialist position left,vacant by the resignation of Sharon Pearl. Mrs. Nelson is qualified as she has a master’s degree in reading. The superintendent’s recomwas accepted. The board also agreed to hire Donna Long to fill the first grade position left vacant by Mrs. Nelson. Mrs. Long is a graduate of Huntington college. Board members signed the vocational education agreement which had been proposed by Lakeland and accepted by the Fairfield Community Schools to provide for any student from Fairfield who desires enrollment in the programs at Wawasee. Construction Report The progress report on the current construction and remodeling programs was given by the superintendent. The work at Wawasee high school is completed except for carpet in the classrooms. This is to be done the first week in August. The Syracuse building is nearing completion and will be ready for school. Work at Milford has slowed but the contractor has promised to

Motorists Must React Correctly To Emergency

More than 100 million Americans will take to the highways this year in pursuit of vacation pleasure. Chances are that many of them will be confronted with an emergency driving situation which allows little or no time for decision making — and many will make the wrong response. Correct automatic reactions to highway emergencies must be learned in advance, cautions the Chicago Motor Club-AAA. A driver can’t actually “practice” proper reaction to many of the critical situations which occur, but knowledge of what to do, coupled with mental rehearsal, can help a driver learn to react correctly in many emergencies. The Chicago Motor Club offers these tips on what to do in emergency situations: — BRAKE FAILURE. If your brakes fail, pump the pedal to build up enough pressure to restore some braking action. If this fails, apply steady pressure to the parking brake. Caution is necessary because the parking brake controls the rear wheels and you must be prepared to release the brake if the rear wheels lock. If your car has a manual transmission, downshifting also will serve as a braking force. Watch for an escape route, a safe exit from the highway and alert others to your difficulty by sounding your horn and flashing your lights. In extreme cases you may have to stop

“get moving” again with the building expected to be ready in time for school to start with hopes to move equipment to the third floor by August 15. The rest of the building will be completed if necessary equipment is received from the North Webster school. School will be opened at North Webster with the work continuing on the building. Temporary classrooms are expected to be used thru September. The work in the cafeteria is being held up because equipment has not been received from the supplier, Hillman’s Equipment of Fort Wayne. It’s been, “all promise but no action,” with the board instructing attorney Robert Reed to write a letter and send a copy to the company and another to the bonding company as Hillman’s have had the contract for over a year. County surveyor Charles M. Brower has been contacted to survey the 150 foot strip of land to be purchased for a new building for the mechanics class which is in need of space. Board members are currently looking into the possibility of a metal building which would be about half the cost of a brick and block building similar to the building now in use. They plan to go to Wabash in the middle of August to see the metal building now in use by the Wabash Vocational school.

your car by other means, such as running along an embankment, driving into bushes or hedges, or against a curb. — TIRE BLOW-OUT. The first thing to do if a tire blows out is to keep a firm and steady grip on the steering wheel. Hold the vehicle on a straight course and concentrate on maintaining or regaining control. Never slam on the brakes. Ease up on the accelerator, allowing the engine to slow the vehicle, and once you have the car under control, apply the brakes with a firm and steady pressure. A front tire failure will cause the car to pull to the side; a rear tire blow-out can cause weaving or fishtailing. — RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. If you should run off the paved shoulder of the highway, maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel and keep the car traveling straight ahead straddling the pavement edge. Do not whip the vehicle back on the pavement. Next, ease off the accelerator so the car will slow gradually. Avoid braking if possible, but if necessary, use a gradual pumping action. Before returning to the pavement, make a complete visual check ahead, to the side and the rear. Never return to the pavement when a car is approaching. When the way is clear and your speed has been greatly reduced, turn the wheel sharply, permitting the vehicle to climb the pavement edge to get back cm the roadway.

— FIRE. If a fire breaks out under the hood, turn off the ignition and all other electrical switches. Use a fire extinguisher if available. If not, use a blanket to smother the fire. Since fires usually are from electrical short circuits, use a jack handle to rip out all burning’wires. If the fire is out of control, move at least 100 feet away since the gas tank may explode. - COLLISION. The goal of any driver is to avoid collisions. But if a colission appears inevitable, the best thing to do is try to minimize the consequences. By using the safety equipment in the vehicle, the driver and passengers can help reduce their chances of injury or death. Locked car doors, for example, greatly reduce the chances of being ejected from the car. Seat belts and shoulder belts should be worn at all times to prevent occupants from being tossed about inside the vehicle during a collision. If a collision appears to be unavoidable, the driver may be able to reduce the seriousness of

the accident by staying alert and using the vehicle’s maneuverability to select his own type of collision. A head-on encounter with another vehicle or with an immovable object is the worst kind of collision, so it is best to hit some object capable of absorbing part of the collision energy, such as a bush, shrub, sapling or — in winter —a snowbank. > Social Security Q — If I die young before I’m married, can any social security benefits be paid? A— Yes. If you worked long enough, a lump sum up .to $255 could be paid to the person who assumes responsibility for the funeral expenses. In addition, if you have a parent who was receiving at least one-half of his or her support from you in the year prior to your death, that parent could be entitled to benefits.
