StFETY SIGNPOSTS FOR
FARM FAMILIES

Modern methods in farming have
uot eliminated the traditional prac-
tice of farm butchering. Nor have
tbev removed the hazards which
result in accidents dur
ing the butchering operation. OBJ
serve the simple rules of safety and
avoid the usual run of accidents
the coming butchering sea-
son warns John w. Webster, New
Castel Co. Agricultural Agent. Will
liam E. Tarbell. Kent Co. Agricultu-
raj Agent. William II. Henderson
Sussex co. Agricultural Agent.
According to the National Safety
Council one of the greatest causes
of injuries is falls due to slippery
footing. Ice should be removed and
ashes sprinkled on the ground
where butchering operations are to
take place. If the job is done in
doors, sand. Sawdust or crushed
rock salt help the footing.
The National Safety Council,
Webster. Tarbell and Henderson
said. offers the additional ten sug-
gestiOns to make butchering opera
tiOns safe:
Keep all butchcring knives in a
knife rack when not in use
Keep knives sharp and handles
i'm good condition.
Observe all the ordinary precau-
tions with firearms used for stun
ming the animal. Keep them un-
loaded when not in use.
Use tamper to force meat into
the meat grinder.
Keep children away from all but.
CHEERING operations.
Clean or mop up all grease from
floors Immediately.
Use extreme care in handling the
scalding water.
Whet knives away from the body
Avoid strain from Overlfting.
Always cut or chop away from
your body.

Veterans News

When the Servicemen Readjust-
June %, 1914. it very generously
provided for the personnel of our
Armed Forces. 1t also provided very
severe penalties for those who fail
Ell to abide by the rules and regula-
tions of the Act. This article is in
tended only for that minor number
at Veterans who are fla2rantly vio-
latinS those provisions. These few
offenders are inflicting great
hardship on the majority of Ser
Vlcemen and women. who are
tdnscicntiOusly trying to make an
honest adjustment of their lives as
provided under the conditions Of the
Law.
Title V. Chapter VII" "Readjust-
ment Allowance for Former Mem
berS of the Armed Forces who are
Unemployed" 1t is under this Title
that the most serious violations are
being perpetrated. The Act provides
for the payment of $40 per week
for period not exceeding fifty
two weeks, depending on length of
Service. Many persons are either
disillusioned or improperly inform
ed as to the conditions under which
this allowance is Obtainable, al
though it is clearly defined as pay
able only to the "UnemplOyed" or
to those self-employed who fail to
earn a sum equal to the allowance.
Some of these diSillusiOned Vets
are employed and still drawing
their allowance, which not only is d
criminal offense, but Il moral Of
tense, in that it casts Il stigma over
the great majority who are honest
ly and cOnscientiOuSly trying to adj
Just themselves into useful mem
! bcrs of society in their cOmmuni-
ties.
If in doubt as to whether you arc
on the safe side of this mattery in

Safety Council Notes

The skillful driver according to
the Delaware Safety Council, con-
fines his attention when he is at the
wheel to the business of driving. He
knows that the operation OF motor
vehicle on our traffic snarled roads
is a full time job. He does not per-
nit his mind to be lured off duty by
private distractions, worry, day
dreams, the passing scenery or an
interesting riding companion. He
knows that any of these things will
cause his vigilance to be relaxed
and that he will be only half pre-
pared to meet an emergency. He
knows that while his mind is snap
ping out of it's temporary ''vaca-
ton" much can happen.
The skillful drfver knows and
minds strictly the rules of the road.
He travels to the extreme right of.
the roadway. He KEEPS to the
right :. except when about to pass
another car :. and before pass
ing he makes sure that he will have
sufficient time and space to do so.
He does not weave in and out OF
traffic spectacular as this open
field work may appear to others. He
knows the proper positions from
which to make right and left turns
and when to place himself in these
positions. When approaching a traf-
fic signal he slows his speed in
anticipation of a change of lights. If
the lights turn red . he brings his
car TO smooth stop i'll its proper
position in line he does not
sneak up ahead. He knows who has
the right away at intersections
but he does not contest that right.
He waits for the lights to give him
permission to Go" before leaving
a corner his movement from that
position is orderly and in line he
does not jockey for favored posi-
tion nor does he pass vehicles with
in the intersection. He dccelcratcs
and keeps his car under control
when approaching side roads
homes roadside stands and
human beings He knows and uses
the hand signals that customary in

he drives his car completely off the
