Stack the lumber in the conven-
tional way, he advises, to allow
circulation of air. Foundations
should be substantial, and sufficient
stickers placed between layer to
prevent warping.
A roof over the lumber pile, Tar
bell explains, is necessary to keep
the sun rays off the top layers and
to keep out rainfall or snow.
Lumber seasoned for 3 or 4
months may be considered fairly
dry, he adds, but it will still shrink
if used in dry places.
The best woods for boards, par
ticularly for tight enclosures, Tar
bell points out, are the pines, hem
lock and poplar.

CHECK ELECTRIC WIRING
LIS Volt Lighting Circuit Can Be
AS Deadly AS High Voltage Lines

It's easy to have "killers" or
'firebugs" hidden in an electric wir-
ing system, according to w. e.
Tarbell, county agent. The ordin-
ary lis volt lighting circuit can be
as deadly as high voltage power
lines. The National Safety Coun-
cil's records show that there is too
much power packed into electric
wires to gamble with.
Even the best wiring system
needs regular inspections. Outside
the building you should check for
broken insulators, frayed insula-
tions, and loose or sagging wires
that make contact with trees or
other distractions. When checking
inferior wiring, watch for defective
outlets or switches, loose clamps
and damaged insulation or worn
fixtures. Appliance cords need fire.
quent attention. When defective,
discard or repair them immediate
Ily. When a fuse "blows" some
thing is wrong-too much load on
the circuit or a short circuit some
where. Locate and remove the
source of trouble before inserting a
new fuse and be sure to use the
proper size. Never attempt any re-
pair work on an electrical system
without turning off the current.
Water or dampness is a good
conductor of electricity so remem-
ber to be especially cautious with
electrical circuits or appliances in
damp places such as milkhouses or
Easements and where your body is
not insulated from the ground: All
appliances in hazardous locations
should be grounded.

NIGHT TRAFFIC
ACCIDENTS HIGH
Fatal Traffic Accidents Are
High in Proportion to
Day Fatalities
CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS
"Afraid of the dark ?"

Afraid of the dark 2"
According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council, you have a right to be,
because of the high proportion of
fatal traffic accidents occurring at
night in comparison to daylight
fatalities.
Traffic deaths at night, said
MIR. John D. Reeder, President of
the Delaware Safety Council, fare
two to three times more numerous
than during the day. Over a period
of year this means that three out
of every five fatal traffic accidents
take place at night-in 1948 this
totaled nearly 10000 lives"
The chief causes of night traffic
accidents cited by the Delaware
Safety Council and the National
Safety Council include: reduced
visibility; excessive speed; fatigue;
drinking drivers; and failure on the
part of pedestrians to realize how
invisible they are from a drivers
seat.
"As a means of combating the
high cost of night traffic accidents
in human lives, the Delaware Safe
ty Council has outlined, several
ways in which such accidents can
be reduced" Mr.. Reeder said.
These, he said, include:
/. Providing adequate street
lighting.
2. Increasing the visibility of
signs, signals, and pavement mark
ings.
8. Lowering night speed limits.
4. Educating drivers to the spec
ial caution needed in night driving,
5. Educating pedestrians as to
where and how to walk safely in
darkness.
6. Strictly curtailing speeding,
drinking, and recklessness among
night drivers.
z. Insisting on safe and courte-
