2. Keep guards in place. Manu-
facturers furnish convenient shields
for power take-offs and other ex-
posed hazards that can be guarded,
All you have to do is keep them in
place.
3. Watch out for fire-practice
good housekeeping around your
equipment
Keep manifolds and exhausts
free from trash accumulations,
avoid leaky fuel lines. and never
refuel a tractor with the motor
running.
These are simple things to do.
They are easier than taking a trip
to the hospital, paying doctor bills,
going through life with a stump on
the wrist for a hand, or trying to
get a job done with an empty
sleeve dangling uselessly.

FARM NEWS
Engineer Warns Against
Corn Picker Accidents

Mechanical corn picking has
ended the back-breaking and time
consuming farm job of hand har-
vesting, but the skill of the me-
chanical picker often is nullified by
careless operation" points out Mr..
William Calvert, agricultural en-
gineer for the Delaware Agricul-
tural Extension Service. This
years corn harvest will bring an
other heavy toll of fatalities and
mangled fingers, hands, arms, and
legs, unless safer practices are
adopted.
Here are three rules from the
National Safety Council that will
check these unnecessary mishaps.
1. Stop the picker = the corn
picker has hazardous mechanisms
exposed to do the job for which it
is designed. There seems to be no
practical method of guarding pick

Downtown Area Bans
j 70
On Auto Held Possible

Large cities may soon find 1t neces-
sary to prohibit the use of private
passenger cars in downtown areas,
members of the Alexandria Optimist
Club were told yesterday by Harold
Hammond, assistant manager of
transportation for the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
The prohibition on passenger cars
may result from the increasing num-
ber of privately owned cars, Mr..
Hammond declared. He said If the
ban comes, fringe" parking areas
would have to be provided so
motorists could leave their cars and
board public transportation vehicles
for the business areas.
Most cities will have to rely on
existing street systems for additional
cars, Mr. Hammond said, adding
that the number of automobiles in
operation soon is expected to be so
per cent more than in 1941.
Mr.. Hammond described the park
ing situation as a major problem in
traffic today. He said many cities
are attempting to solve this problem
by providing off-street parking
spaces, while some businessmen have
provided off street parking for Gus
toners. He said many cities had
found it profitable to eliminate
parking altogether on main business
streets.
The Optimist Club met yesterday
in Bendall's Alexandrian Room, 1925
King street. Vice President Marion
B. West presided.
