To Ward Off Tragedy Farming is a dangerous business. Every day at least 10 persons on U. S. farms lose their lives by fire or accident, and at least 800 are injured. and of Many these accidents fatalities could be prevented by making farm repairs promptly. Today when every farm worker is needed in agricultural pro- duction, it is doubly important that preventive measures be taken on all farms to avoid the tragedy of accident or death, or interruption in the work program. Every farmer should make up a household tool kit consisting of a small hammer, a small and medium driver, an adjustable nail sets and pliers. Put the tools in a homemade tool roll fitted with pockets or in a carrysize screw ing box. Easier to Repair. With such a tool kit handy it is a lot easier to take care of repair jobs. Engineers of the U. S. bureau of agricultural chemistry and engineering place loose floor boards and stair treads high on their list of farm and home hazards. The short time required to repair such conditions could well be spared from even the most important farm work. Uneven and badly worn floors are dangerous, too, as are loose or broken hand rails, especially at steep stairways. Broken window glass should be removed. Badly worn sash cords, often factors in accidents, should be replaced. Weak or broken ladders are the cause of many injuries. Going through ladders is more unlucky than walking under them. Steplad-der- s are a special hazard because they are used so frequently and are not so simple in their construction as straight ones. A loose board or a door with a broken hinge can be picked up by the wind and do great damage. The farm shop usually has the equipment for such repairs. They should be made as soon as the need is noticed. Boards with nails in them left lying around are a frequent cause of serious accidents and a threat of dread lockjaw. the heat waves.

You can do a number of things to help keep yourself cool as you go through your daily routine. For instance, the first thing to remember to do is to dress cool. Dont wear heavy, tight fitting clothing. Clothing has been devised from the time when animal pelts were the style both for man, woman and grown-u- p children as a protection from the elements whether sun, rain, snow, sleet or biting wind. Dont use winter style of dressing Shed some of for the summertime. those clothes! You ladies who are handy with the scissors, needle and thread can whip together some dandy summer work, play or visiting dresses easily enough these days. There is still plenty of dress material to be had. Ready-mad- e dresses are also plentiful, and re&sonably priced, too. Take a look at your favorite store. Youll see both plenty of dresses, and material to make them. There is no reason, either, why the men, young and old, shouldnt be dressed to combat the heat. Many men, when asked why they are dressed so hot in the summertime, usually give an answer which seems to suggest they hadnt thought about it or were too busy to do anything about it. Meanwhile they continue working with the sweat rolling down their temples. Men are slow in changing to new, even a more comfortable style of clothing. Those that arent so con servative arent getting shoved around by the heat this year like their more backward brethren are. They were more willing i.e., the married men, the fathers to see their daughters going around in shorts, rather than themselves. When really it was the men, not the women that needed them! Maybe, when shortages in cloth, dress goods begins to appear, which it hasnt, as yet, it will be the usual thing 'for the men to be wearing them.

Like clothing, food in the summertime has much to do about keeping one from being knocked out, figuratively or actually. Dont eatso much heavy food even though you do have - to eat plenty of food, either because of your job, or your nature. Eat but little, but often holds more true for summertime than any time of the year. That little, but often holds for the light foods which you see advertised in your grocery, meat shop, fruit store and delicatessen.

They, too, are the ones who should be reminded that what they formerly used to do, just to help out, shouldnt be done in the hot weather. For there is a debilitating effect of the sun quickly noticeable on the aged and weak. One of the pleasures of the summer months are the outdoor picnics, the family reunions, the parties and fishing trips both for the youngsters and the grownups. Although rubber restrictions will cut down on many of the long auto trips on such picnics and outdoor excursions, it wont at least it shouldnt for the ingenious cut down on the outings held in the nearby woods, or even in the side, or back. d It is on such picnics, and excursions that real summer time meals, old style Dutch Lunches can be served. Meals having salads, cold cuts, cheeses, lemonade, iced-teand other fruit juice drinks. The little extra equipment needed for such meals that break the monotony of eating indoors all the time is' available at any of the local retail stores. It used to be during the not far past days that it was thought necessary to travel 15 to 50 miles to a favorite picnic spot. There there would be the steak fry on the fire pits, or the weiner roast. Today, with plenty of room available, alongside or behind the house, or, in the field or woods near home, there is no reason why similar picnic equipment isnt available.

Today, when ra tioning has stopped that there is no reason why the shower equipment at home shouldnt be given an extra workout. You know, just because it used to be only the kids who had a good time with the outdoor shower is no reason why you couldnt enjoy one, too. Of course if you dislike the idea of imitating the kids and enjoying the whirling spray, why not rig up an outfit for you and the rest of the older persons. Such an outfit could be dropped from one of the trees in the yard, or attached to a post used for the washline.
