Place Cords Carefully Cords should never be run over radiators or steam pipes. Check your needs carefully before you make your purchases and insist on coids designed for use in damp places and where contact with metal Is likely to occur. The dealer will help you select the proper type. Avoid the very dangerous practice of running cords under rugs or placing them in door jambs.

It is proposed, Mr. Johngovernment son said, to buy bonds with the surplus, to mature as the county's outstanding bonds become due. The old levy of 1.9 mill is only enough to pay the interest on the bonded indebtedness, Mr. Johnson said. Poor Fund Dropped The Poor and Indigent fund levy was dropped entirely as the Welfare fund is sufficient to take care of this need. A new levy of one mill was made for Deficiency. The deficiency always occurs in one fund or another, and has always been borrowed from the general fund, which is never large enough to cover the demand on it. Also a of a mill new levy of was made for County Exhibits. Donations for these county events have heretofore come out of the exgeneral fund, Mr. Johnson plained.

Turkey will be the main course of Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years Day on every battlefront dinners where soldiers, sailors, marines, coast guardsmen and airmen are fighting. The request, J. Worth Gutke, FDA state supervisor said, also carries an appeal to processors, packers, hotel and restaurant operators, and consumers to forego selling, serving or eating turkey for a few weeks during the early season until this urgent requirement for American military forces is met. Mr. It is the early bird, Gutke explained, "which is needed to fulfill this request. Shipment must be made so as to assure arrival of the turkeys for the holiday dinners they are destined to grace. This will make it necessary for the producers to market them in ample time for Processors are exprocessing. pected to have 2 million pounds ready for delivery between September 1 and 15, another 2 million pounds between September 15 and 30, and the remaning 6 million pounds as soon thereafter as possible. To make certain that processors will have time to prepare the birds, and that American fighting men will not have to go without this taste of home, producers are advised to begin now by separating the heaviest birds from their flocks and to give them extra feed to finish them in time for the late August and early September markets. For the same period at least, WFA officials pointed out, civilian consumption of turkey meat should be curtailed through voluntary action on the part of wholesalers, retailers, restauconsumers and hotels rants, themselves. While most Americans normally reserve turkey for holiday tables, great dependence is being placed upon poultry meat this year, because war has made red" meats less readily available to civilians This is a factor which could greatly increase early season consumption of turkeys. Increased use is already indicated by the presence of roast turkey on hotel and restaurant menus, now, when it is traditionally "out of season. cent of Normally barely each years entire production of turkeys is marketed in August WFA officials and September, said. For these same months in 1942, following a generally good season for growth and development of turkeys, producers thru the United States marketed nearly 1,600,000 birds out of a total production of about 32,600,000. of early While the number season marketings last year would have more than filled the present emergency need of our armed forces, the backward season this year, together with the scarcity of feed, may reduce the normal percentage of August and September marketings. Once the emergency request is met. however, civilians can buy and eat turkey meat without restriction or heavy consciences. Present indications point to the fact that later in the fall, but well before Thanksgiving Day, civilian consumers can begin to eat what is likely to amount to e an record supply of turkeys. In spite of weather and feed conditions supplies in prospect for 1943 are expected to top 33 million birds. While this production would fall short of the number needed to reach the 1943 goal of 500', 000, 000 pounds of turkey meat, it would exceed 1942 production by nearly 2,500, 000 birds. Based on the present outlook, all requirements for turkeys for the American armed forces, including the emergency request for overseas birds, can be met by considerably less than 10 per cent of the total production anPresent prospects for ticipated, all poultry indicate a per capita supply of about 33 pounds for 'civilians in 1943 against 26 lbs, DEAR DOUG: Continued From Page 1 and it was long after midnight before the bunch finally gave out.

This summer and fall, many youth will be employed by farmers because adult workers are not available. Many farmers will be hiring youth for the first time. With proper guidance and do handling, most youth will good farm work and are an excellent source of farm labor. Inon experienced youth working farms for the first time will repaquire careful supervision, tience and tolerance for best results, says Marden Broadbent, county agent. The following suggestions may be helpful in bringing about a better understanding between the farmers and inexperienced youth: 1.

Remember that untried muscles are soft and that youth tires easily. Break a boy in easily by a. Giving him the lightest jobs to do at first. b. Working him for only a half day for the first few days. 3. A boy may be unaccustomed to farm work. He needs a little extra effort and supervision to teach him how to do the various jobs on a farm. Show him how to do it. Repeat this demonstraBe quick to tion if necessary. praise the hoy and slow to criticize him. 4. Have an understanding with the boy or girl before they actually start work, about farm duties, hours of work, wages and If they are to live pay day. with you, you should also have an understanding as to time off, church attendance, house rules, etc. 5. Treat youth as you would treat one of your own with respect to food and sleeping quarters. A boy gets very hungry and enjoys good food. 6.
