for the moment, unhappy country"
He said he has conferred by tele-
phone with the Czech Minister to
Canada, Frantisek Nemec, who also

Mr.. Nemec plan to postpone any
decision on their future activities
until they see what Czech ENJOYS

slavia and Bulgaria in joint anti

WARNING TO
AUTO DRIVERS
State Board OF Health Gives
Advise On Dangers OF Car
bon MOnOXide Gas
MANY WINTER DEATHS

The greatest number of accident
al deaths from the absorption of
poisonous gases takes place during
the cold weather between Novem-
ber and March, according to Mr..
Cecil Marshall, State Board of
Health Statistician, who reports
that an average of four to five ac-
cidental deaths result from gas
poisoning each year in Delaware.
Carbon monoxide gas is a stealth
killer, warns the State Board of
Health, since it cannot be seen, as
it has no vapor or color, and can
not be smelled since it has no odor.
When coal, wood, utility gas and
many other fuels that contain car
bon are burned carbon monoxide
gas is released into the air. It
sneaks into closed rooms, cars,
workshops and strikes its victims
silently. However, when there is
plenty of fresh air in motion, the
carbon monoxide mixes with it and
can do no harm. The carbon mon
oxide hazard usually is associated
in the public's mind with a running
motor in closed garage, but the
poisonous gas is also responsible
for many needless deaths in homes,
says the State Board of Health.
Gas poisoning may occur from
leaky gas pipes or valves and de-
fectiye vents, or an improperly adj
justed furnace. It is a dangerous
practice to burn gas excessively
high in poorly ventilated room
or to use cooking ranges as heat
ers. It is safety measure to have
all heating and cooking appliances
checked frequently and to always
have fresh air entering the room.

Japan's Wheat Crop

From a position Of relative unin-
portance, wheat in recent years has
become one Of the major crops in
japan. During l941-45. production
averaged 46.5O5, 300 bushels per
year from 1892, 900 acres, with an
average yield per acre of 2.3 BUSH
els. Both acreage and yields per
unit area have been greatly inn
proved within historical times.
Based on five-year averages for the
periods 1882 and 19S8-42, the
areas in wheat have increased about
ll9 per cent, yields about 140 per
cent and total production about 425
per cent.

At Last-Dry Salt

A tiny electric oven for drying out
humid salt and sugar shakers has
been patented. The oven contains
an electric heater with a shallow
base and vertical housing. Salt
shakers and sugar bowls can be
placed in the housing to dry out
the contents whenever necessary.
Smyrna times., 1948-12-09

The first signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning are a feeling of tightness
across the forehead followed by
dizziness, nervousness, and some-
times vomiting, say health officials.
Red eyeballs and a flushed face are
also the results of a slow steady
breathing of even small amounts
of the deadly gas before becoming
unconscious. When large amounts
of carbon monoXide gas are breath
ed however, there is no time for
the warning signals. The victim
loses consciousness before he real
ICES he is in mortal danger. Vic
TINS of carbon monoXide poisoning
should be carried at once to the
fresh air, says the State Board of
Health, and a doctor called immed-
lately. If breathing has stopped or
the victim is gasping, give artifi-
cial respiration. Loosen the patti
ent's clothing. Rub his hands and
feet. Keep his body warm with

attack of carbon monoxide on the
heart. When this happens, the
patient may collapse and die before
