Vitamin A Potency

Milk fat has long been established
as the most important source Of
vitamin A, which largely governs
growth, development, vision and
maintenance of buoyant health in
the animal body. AS result of one
of the most comprehensive research
projects ever undertaken on a
nationwide scope, the bureau of
dairying has announced that the
weighted average vitamin A
potency of all butter is between
$1,000 and 10000 units per pound.
This is almost double the vitamin
A potency originally assigned butter
by early and limited investigation.

Safe Chimneys

Chirnneys located on side roof
should extend at least 21S feet above
the roof peak; located at the peak
they should extend 2 feet above it;
on a fiat roof at least 3 feet above
the roof. Every masonry chimney
should have fire-clay fiue lining.
House roof, floors and walls should
be built so no eombustible material
is within q inches of the chimney.
and this space filed with fireproot
insulating material, Masonry Chin
neys must be free-standing-giving
no support to and receiving none
from the house. A spread footing
below frost line should support the
chimney. A stone or concrete CHM
ney cap sheds water and preserves
the masonry.

COrny Discovery

A piece of Peruvian pottery taken
from Incan ruins in 1919 and rushed
to the United States was proclaimed
after due study to be true fossil
of an ear Of corn. Agricultural his
torians were crossed up by the an
nouncement by the archeologists,
because there had been a general
agreement that corn probably erigi'
mated within the last 1,5OO years.
But here was petrifeation offering
undeniable proof that good maize
existed 100000 years ago. All corn
research progress had to be un-
done, it seemed, until DR.. Roland
Brown Of the United States geologi-
cal survey discovered that the pot.
terry was a perfect double for corn,
all right, but that it was hollow and
a clever clay copy. Perhaps it had
been a Peruvian ehild's plaything.

Poison Gas

The introduction of poison gas as
an effective weapon in warfare
dates from April %, 1915, during the
second battle Of Ypres, when the
Germans discharged chlorine gas
from cylinders on a wide front at
Langemarck opposite a French
held sector. Coming as a complete
surprise, it wiped out Allied resist
ance for several miles around.
Within a few days Allied troops
were equipped with a crude form
of gas mask and the immediate
danger was eliminated. Allied use
of poison gas came during the Bat
tie of the Loos, September 25 to
October 10, 1915, when the British
attacked with cylinders of ehlor.

,idents in Union county.

cidentS in Union county.
This campaign has been in act
ion for some time and never rests,
because accidents are always lurk-
ing, watching for "a place to hap
pen". Further impetus has been
given our local program by the
issuance of a proclamation by the
President of the United States
calling upon the Nation to observe
the week of July 21-27 as Nation
al Farm Safety Week. In his proc
lamation the President has sug-
gested that the farm people OF the
country observe National Farm
Safety Week by resolving to elm
mate at least one hazard a day
until their farms are as safe as they
can possibly make them, We are
asking that a special effort be
made by every farm resident in
Union county to carry out our
Presidents suggestion.
The hackers of the Union county
Safety Program believe their cam
paign to be important for several
reasons. First, farming has one of
the highest accident ratio of all
occupations. Actually, Agriculture
has more accidental work deaths
than any other major industries,
more farm home accident fatalities
than any other type, more motor
vehicle than any other off-farm
accidental deaths, and a large farm
property fire loss. Second, farmers
generally are not covered by work
mems compensation laws, as are
most workers in industry. A ser
iouS accident may cause untold
hardship to a farm family. Third,
accidents can be prevented. Actu-
al records show that time and a.
gain accident rates have been cut
in half in a county where people
realized the dangers and removed
or guarded against hazards be-
fore an accident happened. In 9th

Safe Transport

Railroads handled 50,000,000 tons
of high explosives for military pur-
poses as well as great quantities Of
poison gas during the recent World
war without a person being killed.
In one month alone in 1945, the
quantity of military explosives ham
died by the railroads exceeded the
tonnage handled during the entire
period of the First World war. From
records available, it is apparent
there was a total of approximately
so, 600, 900 tons of military explosives
delivered as originating shipments
to rail carriers during World War
II. This tonnage was handled with
no loss of life which can be charged
directly to the transportation Of such
explosives. In addition, since 1888
approximately 3,6O0,O00,0OO pounds
q, 300, 900 tons) of commercial ex-
plosives have been handled with no
loss of life due to their transporta-

animal InteIIlgence

The intelligence of animals has
for a long time been controversial
topic. Some people infer, from the
human-like actions and reactions Of
animals, that they have a high de-
gree of intelligence, pointing out that
wild beasts set sentries when dan
ger is imminent and the migration
routes of birds appear to be 'charted
Systematically to avoid travel haz-
ards. Most authoritative writer's on
this subject maintain, however, that
these and similar examples of So
called intelligence are the result of
a fine instinct which guides animals
where human beings would employ
reasoning processes. They contend
that an animal is incapable of fig
uring out conclusion after con-
sideration of facts and thus is in
capable of reasoning. Many deeds
which have won animals great affec.
ton and applause have been accom-
plished as the result of their highly
developed senses of sight, hearing,
touch, taste and smell

Speed Control

In a detailed study of 892 acci-
dents reported by the u. s. bureau
of public roads, speed excessive for
conditions was given as one of the
accident causes in 636 cases -
three out of four. According to this
report, speed outranked by far any
one of the other accident factors.
One expert of a large casualty
company after years of study OF
highway accident causes and pre-
Vention, asserts that the record
shows clearly THAT the control OF
speed is the greatest single need in
the field of highway safety" add
ing that in the last year of unra'
toned driving, l94l, exceeding the
speed limit caused 1l,3lO deaths"

Smoking Fat

To get the best use from fat in
cooking as well as to save it for use
again, heed the mo smoking" rule.
When fat reaches the smoking
point it starts to break down chem
ically and three unfortunate things
happen; the flavor of the fat and
of the food cooked in it is dam
aged; food fried in smoking fat may
have an unhappy effect on the di-
gestive tract; fat that has reached
the smoking point viii turn rancid
more quickly than fat which has
not smoked if saved for use again.
To prevent fat from smoking, keep
heat low when melting fat for sauce
or pan-frying. Cook meat at mod
crate temperature which is best for
the protein as wei as the fat. Re-
member, fats vary in the amount
of heat they can stand, Butter, oleo-
margarine, drippings and olive oil
all tend to smoke quickly,

Atomic Particles

Mesotrons are particles INTO
which the primary rays OF the sun
are believed to split after entering
the earth's atmosphere, These
mesotrons, about 200 times as
heavy as electrons, have snort
life = only a few millionths OF a
second. The secondary particles are
believed to represent the end prod
ucts of an atomic disintegrauon'
Virtually all the primary cosmlc
rays are used up in forming Sec
ondary radiation before low altl-
tudes are reached.

Faulty EyeSight

In a group of 44,59l applicants
for driver licenses in Connecticut
only 24,272, or little more than half
of the applicants, were found to
have normal vision. OF the 2o,S19
found to have visual shortcomings,
70 were denied licenses and 1902
were granted unconditional licenses
because their shortcomings, at the
time Of examination, were not great.
OF the 7,215 who. without glasses,
had visual errors sufficiently great
as to render them unsafe drivers,
only 4,436 were voluntarily wearing
glasses, The balance had apparent
