vided ard maintained and that safe
practices are followed.
The time to prevent an accident
is NOW before it happens.

stool, or other steady support when
reaching high places about the
home?
2. Do you have a flashlight and
'first-aid" tool kit containing a

Homemade First-Aid Kits

First aid kits can provide
prompt and correct treatment of
minor injuries occurring on farms
or in farm homes" This reminder
was issued today BY Maybelle Lig-
on, Sussex County Home Demon
stratiOn Agent, who pointed out
that such facilities may save life
or prevent Serious infection from
injury.
A satisfactory first aid kit can
be made at home and at small cost.
A tight box, preferably metal,
such as cash box or fishing tackIo
box or even tightly covered tin
can, will serve as a suitable con-
tainer. The box should be thorough
ly clean and well labeled.
The National Safety Council re-
cOmmends the following articles
for each kit: rolls of adhesive tape
Of varying width, sterile cotton.
swabs and sticks, sterile white
cloth for large bandages and tour
niquets, tube Of sterile white vase
line for minor burns, scissors,
boric acid, compound tincture OF
benzoin. an accepted antiseptic,
aromatic spirits of ammonia.
The council further suggests
that several first aid kits be provid-
ed on each farm so they may be
located in the home, the barn, the
farm shop, and other work areas
Small kits might well be located on
the tractor, combine, and other i'm
poTtant equipment.

JUNKETS CALLED
MONEY SAVERS
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON - One of Con-
gress' many European travellers
said this week he is confident the
trip was a good investment for the
taxpayers.
II am certain that our junket, if
anyone wants to call it that, was
worth far more than it cost the
United States" Senator Flanders
(R-Vt.) told a reporter.
Housing Studied
Flanders was one Of four senators
who visited England, Holland Swe-
den Norway and Denmark. They
were inspecting housing with an
emphasis on coOperatives and gov
ernment aids.
Others were Senators Sparkman
(D-Ala.), Frear (D-Del.) and Brick
er (R-Ohio). Flanders estimated
cost of the trip to the taxpayers at
about $1,000 for each senator, as
we'll as two staff members from
the Senate banking subcommittee
on housing.
Learned Great Deal
"We learned a great many new
facts about housing that will mean
better legislation" Flanders said.
at is hopefully possible that these
facts may save hundreds of millions
and possibly billions Of dollars in
this field"
Flanders said he assumes the
same will result from the numerous
other trips of senators and House
members to Europe and other parts
of the world.
In all, 80 senators and 120 House
members have taken, are taking or
will take, trips outside the United
States. If their travel averages ST.
800, it would cost $27O,0O0 plus the
expenses of numerous committee
staff members who go along.

workings of their addressograph
tax system to officials from the
collectors office and assessors
office in Broward county.
They came here at the sug-

Through the installation of the
addrcssograph two years ago,
Monroe county's operational tax
system has been on a par with
the leading counties in the state.
The addressograph is operated
in Tax Assessor Gandolfo's office,
and it provides plates that accel-
crates the sending out of tax
statements. Descriptions of land
on the plates remain the same
and when transfers are made
the name of the former owner is
stamped out and the name of the

German Railway Workmen In

Strike; Want Western Marks

Going To And

Riots Caused By
Communists Who Try
To Keep Elevated
Trains Operating
Thy ,rhe Assoria led press,

BERLIN, May 21.. Twelve
Thousand railway workers, chiefly
on elevated trains. are on strike
in the soviet zone of Berlin.
Today rot was caused when
crowds of communist workers
tried to take over the operation of
trains.
The strikers asserted that the
Soviet command had spurred on
the Reds to try to break up the
strike.
In the American zone, it was
reported that the command will
back up the police with soldiers if
found necessary to maintain ord
er in that area, where much ex-
citements has been caused by the
strike.
Railway men are not striking for
higher wages out are demanding
that they be paid in western
marks rather than with marks
used in the Soviet zone.
An American mark, it was
pointed out, is worth four times
as much as a mark issued by the
Russians.
Five hundred thousand per-
sons use elevator trains in the
course of day, and the strike
has caused delay in Germans 60
ing to and returning from work.
The strike has also resulted in
slowing up freight trainsa enter
ing and leaving the american,
British anod French zones.
1t was charged in those zones
that communist hoodlums are de-
liberately trying to stir up trou-
bic that will cause delay in sup
plies reaching the Allied zones.

CHARITY FESTIVAL
TO BE GIVEN BY
LEGION At POST HOME
Money To Be Used
For Child Welfare
And Rehabilitation
Programs

AT a meeting in the Post Home
on Stock Island yesterday, pre-
liminary plans were laid for the
launching of the American Le-
gion Annual Charity Festival to
be held at the Home oneJasay ist,t
End, 3rd. and 4th.
The festival will be held for the
purpose of raising funds for
charity and for use in the Child
Welfare and Rehabilitation Pro-
grams. Funds for use in these
programs are low and must be
replenished if the American Le-
gion is to be enabled to continue
this aid according to its past
standards.
In order to answer the ques-
tions concerning the use to which
these funds are to be put, Post
Commander A b ert DiNegro
points with pride to the fact that
the American Legion donated
the cash sum of $4,000 to the Ma
tional Heart Association for use
and research on rheumatic fever,
and that the American Legion
has spent over $4,000,000 on it's
Child Welfare Program.
Commander DiNegro also states
that the Arthur Sawyer Post is
doing its part we'll and in the
past years has used over $500 of
its funds in Rehabilitation and
Child Welfare, in addition to
donations to regular charities.
It is anticipated that the Festi-
val will be a gala event with
games and prizes being awarded,
two large dances in the ballroom
OF the club. A very popular fear
ture of the Festival will be fire
works display on Sunday night,
July 3rd, during which colored
designs of all descriptions will
be seen against the sky.

ways and acquisition of National

The ee-cornered deal which

The detailed agreements were
presented to the civil aeronautics
