Prunes, Raisins And
Figs For School Rooms

Schools and public welfare institu-
tions in nine southeastern states will
benefit from recent. price support
purchases of dried prunes, raisins,
and figs. The purchases were made
on the west coast by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
A total Of 26 carloads of prunes
and the same number of carloads of
raisins and two carloads of figs have
been allotted to the nine southeastern
states.
In addition, 80 carloads of tomato
paste purchased by the Department
of Agriculture will be distributed
to southeastern schools participating
in the National Lunch program.
The tomato paste was bought with
federal funds that are to be used
expressly to encourage high nutri-
tional standards in school lunchrooms
through the purchase of high-food
value commodities or products. So
far this year, special food purchases
along this line for southeastern
schools have included cheese, dried
milk, and canned tomatoes
Here's how the dried prunes,
raisins and figs will be distributed
in the southeast.
Prunes: North Carolina, four car
loads; South Carolina, Tennessee,
and Virginia, three carloads each; !;
Alabama, Florida, Kentucky and
Mississippi, two carloads each; and
Georgia, one carload.
Raisins: South Carolina, Alabama,
Kentucky and Virginia, three car
loads each; North Carolina, Tennes-
see, Florida and Mississippi, two
carloads each; and Georgia, six car
loads. Alabama and Tennessee will
get one carload of figs each.
The tomato paste will be dis
tributed as follows:
North Carolina and Georgia, five
carloads each; Alabama, four car
loads; Tennessee, three-and-a half
carloads; Florida, Kentucky, and
Mississippi, three carloads each; and
Virginia, two-and-a-half carloads.

Electrical Safety
Requires Caution

PUT both hands to work" is a
good rule for saving both time and
labor on household jobs, but in deal
ing with electrical equipment it is
safer not to use both hands for diff
ferent tasks as the same time, says
Miss Ruth Current, State m e
demonstration agent for the State
College Extension Service.
For safety when handling any
electric appliance or when changing
a fuse, avoid touching anything else,
advises Miss Current. If the appli-
ance happens to be worn or other
wise defective, causing short cir
cult, there is always danger of a
shock. But there is les chance of
severe shock if one hand is free or
is not touching anything else.
Electricity, says the State home
agent, seeks the shortest and easiest
route to make its circuit to the
ground. 1t should be prevented from
making that circuit through the
body from one hand to the other.
Miss Current gives the following
example of a "two-handed hazard" :"
One hand is running vacuum
cleaner and the other moves metal
lamp out of the way. If either of
these appliances happens to have
loose wire or other defect, the cur
rent may run through the body.
In the bathroom and kitchen,
special care must be taken because
electricity travels through water.
When turning on an electric light
with one hand, take care not to
touch water or the metal water fau
Get with the other. Be sure hands are
dry when handling any electric
equipment, and make sure that the
floor is dry too. Cement floors often
appear dry when actually they hold
enough moisture to be shock haz-
ards. Never touch a radio, portable
electric heater. other electric appli-
ance, or even turn on lights when in
the bathtub or when washing dishes
or clothes, advises Miss Current.
