This may not be an indication that we are to have an epidemic of the disease again, .Nurse Jones said, but it does show that we must observe every precaution to prevent its recurrence, if possible. The disease is not a common one. The chances of being infected in-fected are mighty slim. The after-effects can be minimized, and often eliminated, if proper steps are taken. But these statements state-ments do not mean that we can be lax when the disease is threatening. Polio is a "filth" disease the virus is carried by house flies, which can spread it over a large area, By keeping the flies down, much of the possibility of becoming be-coming infected is gone. Cleanliness and proper health habits will help greatly in con- I trolling the disease. Be sure you do not eat any fruit that has not been thoroughly washed, and keep flies from contaminating your other foods. Avoid overexertion, over-exertion, and sudden chilling. It is possible that the disease will not become very prevalent, but it's best not to take any chances.

ELDERS TO PRESENT PROGRAM IN 5TH WARD Members of the Fifth quorum of Elders, under the direction of Chester Peterson, will present the program during sacrament EDITORIAL Many times the older wild." Youth has answered needs something to use the energy it possesses. Last week a group of teen-agers met at the home of one-of their crowd, and decided to do something about ob taining a recreational center. They outlined a number of ae tivities they would like to include n such a center, and dis cussed plans for money-raising projects to help raise funds. Many teerious thoughts were brought out during the meeting, which showed that the younger folks are in earnest about helping stamp out the juvenile delinquency problem, which everyone talks about, but no one seems to do anything about. They feel that if they have a place where they may enjoy clean, wholesome entertainment in their evenings, they will have something to occupy their thoughts and time, and the fears of their elders will be allayed. Soon this group of younger citizens, our men and women wom-en of tomorrow, are going to ask the support of every man and woman in the community to help them establish a clean, respectable re-spectable place where they may spend their evenings. Let's give them a hand. They're on the right track. LOOK YOUR BEST Mr l A m It f Compare Our Work Quality Cleaning Pays. Fashion Cleaners CLYDE A.

Farm Accidents Take Heavy Toll Did you know that a number of Lehl citizens are engaged in the most dangerous occupation in the United States? That the momentary loss from accidents in this industry totals more than one thousand million dollars a year? And that the loss of life each year totals more than 17,-000, 17,-000, not to mention the 1,500,000 who are injured; 15,000 of whom are crippled for life? This occupation, generally considered con-sidered the safest occupation, is farming. Surveys show that safe as farming may seem, the death rate from accidents on farms is one and one-half times as great as the all-industry average. When we pause to think that these figures show that farming is not as safe as we may have thought, the fact that something must be done about it is the next thought. Since these surveys show that 20 per cent of the ac cidents are caused by machinery. 26 per cent by livestock, 10 per cent by falls, 9 per cent by excessive ex-cessive heat, 6 per cent by light ning, and 20 per cent by all other causes, a checkup of hazards on each farm is in order. Be sure your farm is as safe as it is possible to be. Make an immediate checkup of all danger spots about the farm and home, take extra precaution when handling machinery and live stock, and beware of the extreme fire hazard that exists during the summer months. Remember a life spared, or a body left unimpaired through little extra care, is worth many times the amount of time it takes to be sure that everything is as safe as possible. Unusual Accident Instantly Kills Horse A stroll behind the Memorial Building cost the life of a horse, and gave the two boys who ac companied it quite a shock Tues day when it came in contact with a charged pipe. Paul Bennett, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Bennett, was astride the horse, who was ambling amb-ling along, nibbling at the grass along the side of the race track. Suddenly the horse dropped to the ground, throwing the boy clear. Paul's brother, Jesse, 8, who was sitting on the bleachers, ran quickly to the aid of the horse, which he thought had merely stumbled, and soon found himself unable to let go of the pipe. Paul hurriedly entered the building, located the switch, and shut off the power, thus freeing his brother. Both boys were bad ly shaken up, but no injury was reported, according, to the in vestigating officer. Marshal Niron Fowler and City Electrician Thomas Woffinden, who investigated, stated that the pipe, which has been in use for several weeks to pump water out of the basement of the building, had, in some unaccountable manner, become filled with water and charged with electricity. As the horse was on wet ground, he met his death instantly when he touched the pipe. FORMER LEHI RESIDENT SEES 86TII BIRTHDAY Mrs. Mary B.

L. Daw warned today. to-day. Safety inspection, during the present tune, has assumed a much greater significance than merely compliance with the writ ten law. The purpose of the inspection in-spection can no longer be just the removel of unfit or unsafe vehicles from the highways, but now becomes a means by which all vehicles are conditioned to remain in operation until new cars become available. More and more, defective mot or vehicles are becoming contri buting factors to the accident situation throughout the state and nation. Proper adjustment and maintenance of brakes, lights, steering mechanism, and other items essential to safe op eration, is a necessary factor to ward the successful prosecution of the war against Japan, the safety of both motorists and pe-drstrians, pe-drstrians, and the maintenance of economic stability. Superintendent Dow warns that an unnecessary delay now in securing your official inspec tion certificate can be mean an enforced delay at the termina tion of the inspection period. The supply of necessary parts and ac cessories will become exhausted and cars must remain idle awaiting await-ing the necessary parts, or be driven in violation of the state law. Operators of motor ve hides which do not bear the in spection certificate are subject to arrest and prosecution." - Leah Hacking Reigns At Provo Rodeo Comely Leah Hacking, 16-year- old blonde from Cedar Valley, reigned as Provo Rodeo Days Queen July 21, 23 and 24.
