son, S. L. Homewood, county ag-
ent for the State College Extension

According to the National Safety
Council, one of the most frequent
causes of injuries is slippery foot
ing. To avoid this danger, remove
the ice and sprinkle ashes on the
ground where the butchering is
done. If the job is done indoors
sand, sawdust, or crushed rock salt
will improve the footing. Fat meat
trimmings should be kept off the
floor.
The county agent called atten

gestions recommended by the Ma
tional Safety Council.
All hoisting equipment should be
checked and put in good repair.
Keep all knives in a suitable rack
when not in use.
Observe every precaution in the
handling and use of firearms. KeeI

Use a tamper to force meat into

Keep children away from al

Always cut or chop away from the
