BEFORE stairway drafts

Old-fashioned windows and
stairways are vicious heat rob-
bers in many homes. Single
glass panes are the cause of
considerable heat loss while cold
downdrafts leak in around the
window frames.
Stairways behave almost like
chimneys, allowing the warm
air to rise to the second floor.
Where windows are adjacent to
the stairs, the glass area not
only chills the rising air but
generates cold downdrafts. In
aased heating bills result.
Though there is no effective
of keeping the warm air

farmstead periodically to locate
hazards and remove them to make
safer working conditions"
1--WE will keep shields in place
on power machinery at all times
and observe rules for safe opera
tion."
1--WE will encourage members of
our family and neighbors to work,
play, and drive safely"
1--WE will consider safety fea-
lures in farm buildings and struc-
lures when we plan to build or re-
model"
1--WE will handle poisons and ex-
plosives carefully, keeping them
well labeled and out of reach of
children"
Regardless of the emergency,
we will not permit young children
to operate or ride upon farm
machinery"
''We will speak to animals when
approaching them and be especial
ly cautious around bulls"

out of reach of children"
