ECONOMY AXE HITS
COUNTY GOVERNMENT

| If rural taxes are to come down,
the economy axe must be applied
ruthlessly to county government.
This is the conclusion reached by
Governor Pollard of Virginia. He
outlines his plan and platform very
clearly and forcibly in an interview
with Wheeler Mcmillan, veteran ag-
ricultural economist and associate
editor of The Country Home, ma
tional farm magazine.
"If county government is not
quickly reformed, economic pres
sure will lead to the counties being
abolished" declares Governor Pol

the people of the county. They lay

taxation on the rural citizen is from

Governor Pollard appointed a COM

WHAT TO DO WHEN INJURED

Vacation time is about mere for
Delaware's 10000 school chilCren.
To many Of the students the ternli-
nation of school in June ushers in
months of play ON the sea5hOre, at
inland lakes, in the mOunIains and
in the woods. TO a great many more
it is time of work TO build I'D a
cash reserve against the next year
OF school.
According to the Delaware Safety
Council, children under the super
vision of their principals and safety
advisory teachers have estal lished
remarkable safety records and the
schools Junior Safety Councils
have contributed substantial
amount of safety consciousness to
the adults of the State. The Della
ware Safety Council urges boys and
girls during their summer vacations
to remember the following funda-
mental rules that all people at all
times ought to follow to be safe.
Am example is TO be found in
the simple process of cutting any
thing with sharp instrument.
Whether you are slicing bread in
the pitchen at home or trimming
underbrush with a hatchet in the
woods, cut so that in case Of a slip.
you won't injure yourself or any
body else. The safe way to cut also
happens to be the efficient, effective
way, so nothing is lost by cutting
the safe way-and a great deal is
gained.
2-Learn how to swim and how to
rescue a drowning person. Everyone
should be able to apply the prone
pressure method of resuscitation. It
is simple and once learned will new
er be forgotten. Learn to paddle
canoe and to row a boat the proper
way. Here again the proper and safe
way is also the best way for speed,
for sport and for enjoyment.
3-Sunburn so frequently ruins
summer vacations that it deserves
special mention. The best advice is,
do not attempt to acquire coat of
tan in one day.
4-Fish hooks are q source of
great annoyance. If the barb is not
engaged, 1t may be removed easily.
but if engaged, it should be pushed
through the skin and then shipped
off. Such a wound should never be
covered with plaster or collodion.
5-Sun stroke is indicated by un-
sciousness, red face, dilated pupils,
hot dry skin and a slow, full pulse.
The treatment is to reduce the tenn
perature by applications Of cold to
the body. Cold treatment is to be
discontinued when consciousness
returns. No stimulants are to be us
ed.
6Dog bites indicate letting the
wound bleed as freely as possible by
pressure around the edges. Never
seal with plaster or collodion. See

we know, or are supposed to know,
that our babies are a great deal bet

most every day. we hear some young
mother say that she doesn't seem to
be able to get Mary or John to bed
before ten O'Clock. There is no ques-
ton but that this new Daylight

loop-hOle for many young mothers
who want to he out riding or at a

either If their children were In bed.
1t sounds so reasonable and seems
such perpleXing problem when

it is still daytime, and WON'T go to

her to bed" But doesn't this same

No, il il ha. dly fair to blame any
kind of time for our weak disciplin-
ary measures. If a child has. from
babyhoOd, been put to bed when he
or she is supposed to go to sleep,
the association will remain, and the
kind of light will have very little to
do with it. And, too, wise mothers
are careful to avid the discussion OF
these things within hearing of the
little tots.

"Tll admist I wouldn't like it"
laughs 5he young mother, as she
starts to pick up the baby from the
porch floor.
Suzanne is a year old; her mo-

experience and training. The devel-

Europe Easily in Lead

Europe is the most Christian Of

Europe has more processing Chris

age of these to its total population
is far higher than that of any other
continent.
But all the Christians in the world
total only 2SA per cent of the popu-
lation, the compilation says, their
number being 55S.O27 1866 and that Of
the on-Christians 1,416,049,56O.
However, if Christianity is COM
pared with the separate non-Chris-
ton religions instead of with the to-

it's 1927 per cent. compares with
17.77 per cent for Confucianism and
