One Handed SufetY
Home Demonstration Ager

.Put both hands to work. is one
of the simple rules for saving
time and labor on household jobs
which has been stressed recently
in studies of efficiency in house
work. For example, woodwork
can be washed faster if n hand
washes while the other dries, and
such routine tasks as table set
ting and putting away dishes go
faster and easier with both hands
at work
But when it comes to using
electric equipment, the Rural
Electrification Administration OF
the u S. Department of Agricul-
ture advises against using both
hands for different tasks at the
same time. For safety when
handling any electric appliance
or when changing a fuse, avoid
touching anything else. If the ap-
pliance happens to be worn or
otherwise defective, causing a
short circuit. there is always dam
ger OF shock. But there is less
chance Of severe shock, If one
hand is free - or is not touching
anything else. Electricity seeks
the shortest and easiest route to
make its circuit to the ground,
and should be prevented from
making that circuit through the
body from one hand to the other.
Here are examples of two-hand-
ed hazards: One hand is running
) vacuum cleaner and the other
moves . metal lamp out of the
way. II either of these appliances
happens to have a loose wire or
ttner defect, the current may run
hrough>tbe body.
Yn the bathroom and kitchen,
special care must be taken be-
cause electricity travels through
water. When turning or an cleo
tric light with one hand, take care
NOT to touch water or the metal
faucet with the other. Be sure
hands sre dry when handling any
electric equipment, and make sure
that The floor is dry too. Cement
floors often appear dry wen they
hold enough moisture to be shock
hazards. Never touch a radio. por-

Farmers Central Market

In a recent meeting at the
Farmers Central Market in jack
son it was pointed out by the
manager of the market that there
is a ready market for all farm
produce such as vegetables, fruits,
eggs and poultry.
1t was stated that the farmers
of Mississippi were not furnishing
is of the produce needed at TINS
market and the vegetables and
fruits wer being brought in from
| Georgia, Florida, California n
Texas. We believe that lots OF this
produce can be grown in our area
and marketed on our local mar
kets using our central market at
| Jackson for an outlet for any sur
| plus produce that we may pro-
duce.
The poultry plant will be in full
| operation around March 18th and
will be able to handle 10000 broll-
| ers each day. The breed of broll-
| ers specified for this plant Will be
| the New Hampshire breed so II
you the interested in growing
broilers for this market be sure
that you have full details on what
is wanted,
If YOU are interested in produc-
ing vegetables and fruits for n
Central Farmers Market it would
be advisable to get full informa-
ton as to what is most desired
and at what season of the year
the price is likely to be highest.
It seems that the production
of fall vegetables always finds a
ready market both locally and on
the larger market. In order to pro-
duce fall vegetables sometimes 1t
is necessary to have irrigation.
Our small ponds around over the
county could be used to furnish
proper irrigation needed. II IN
terested in trying small acreages
of vegetables of some kind please
contact us and we will be glao
to assist you in any way possible.
We do not believe that you
should try to produce vegetables
of any kind unless you r an ex-
perienced vegetable producer.
| There are many hazards that you
| would not think of which may
cause you to have a complete
failure. However, we can nelp
you work out these problems if
interested in the production OF a
small Iamount of vegetables.
Tire vegetables needed most at
this market are tomatoes, squash,
snap beans, crowder peas, lima
beans, turnips, mustard, onions,
okra, cantaloupes and there is al
| ways a ready market for apples,
peaches, pears and any other kind
of fruits.

Some justification Seen for Claim
Steel Actually Wanted Strike

board, Mr.. Murray simply could
not give way. Steel management
could hardly fail to understand
this. It certainly could not in the
light of, the settlement reached
between the auto workers and the
Ford company. But electing to
make it Q matter Of principle, y
management rejected any such
settlement and invited the present
strike. What does this principle
amount to? Just about as much
as that enunciated by Mr.. Green,
having in mind that the AFI
finds no fault with the standard
procedure of its railroad union
afiliates, which revolve around
the use of Government boards
It is doubtful that the steel
management would lay claim to
higher principles than those OF
automobile management. Yet here
is what Vice President John S
Bugas of the Ford Company had
to say concerning the terms made
with the Ford workers:
I'VE regard this agreement as
a. fresh and significant approach
to better industrial relations in
Ford plants. Most of all, we be-
lieve that it opens the door on a
long period of sustained labor
peace and productivity"
Labor Leaders Puzzled.
Labor leaders profess to be puz-
zled, and perhaps they really
are, by the stubborn stand of steel
management. The readiest ex-
planation they offer is that Big
Steel wants to make the Taft
Hartley Act stick as a Federal
statute and to force the President
to make use of it now. or as soon
as the situation takes on the
character of a national emergency
This may turn out to be
lf-defeating effort, since on the
question of the Taft-Hartley Act
there is no division within labor
In other respects labor leaders
may seem to have achieved about
the same dubious degree Of un.
ification as the Army, Navy ant
Air Force, but that is not true o1
their attitude toward the law they
are determined to repeal.

On Eli Whitney's birthday I
send bales of cotton to all my
friends, and drink gin sings TO

Senseless Invention.
But there are a pair Of scien-
fists who will get no honor from
me.
They are a couple of tinkerers
who have announced that they
have developed a bowling alley
with no pins. Instead Of pins, they
use rays Of light that react-so
they claim-in the same manner
as pins behave when hit by a
bowling ball. If you hit the Num-
ber / light beam correctly, you
get q strike. Come in the wrong
way, and you get a spare or q
split.
My objection to this ridiculous
invention is that it eliminates
noise which is the chief delight Of
bowling. In the heart Of every
man and woman is a constitu-
tional desire to hit the things and
hear 'em crash. One Of the most
successful concessions at the New
York Worlds Fair. was a booth
operated by Frank Buck of Bring
