All Members Conduct
Accident Removal Campaign

Accidents just won't happen if
all Delawareans become as safety
conscious as members of the Mt.
Nebo All Club. These IA boys have
removed AZ possible accident haz-
ards around their farms and homes.
According to Miss Louise Whit
comb, extension home management
specialist, the removing Of these
accidents spots has been part of
the Mt. Nebo clubs safety program
as well as of All Clubs throughout
the state. Under the leadership of
William Redding, IA boys from
the Mt. Nebo Club have inspected
and repaired farm machinery and
tools as well as pointing out home
safety hazards. William reports the
following list of accident hazards
removed by the boys.
3-fxed hay racks; inspected
ladders; 5-found a safer place for
hay forks; inspected head and
foot of stairs for unanchored rugs;
ANCHORED down scatter rugs;
1-covered dangerous holes; p
wiped grease or water from the
kitchen floor; removed danger
our trees, picked up broken glass
and nails; 5-put scissors out of
reach of small children; 2-made
knife racks; 3-taught children
careful use of sharp tools; a.
warned mothers not to have pan
handles extend over stove edge.
This action program on the part
of the MT. Nebo boys was encour-
aged by the findings of a safety
survey made last year in which fall
and hurts from machinery were
found to be happening too often on
Delaware farms.
More than 70 Delaware All
Clubs are taking part in the same
type of safety program, which is
also being carried on by 62 home
demonstration clubs.
This elimination of hazards is be-
ing carried on in the form of a
safety contest sponsored by the
Extension Service in cooperation
with the Delaware Safety Council.
This contest started April 1st and
will end october 31st. Monthly re-
ports of hazards removed are be-
ing kept by safety chairmen. The
number of accident hazards re-
moved during the year and the
club story accompanying these
safety activities will be the basis
for judging the state and county
winners of this contest. These win
ners will be announced in Novem-
lber

works and doiings of the Association
it is impossible to instruct those who

thetic to see a man attempting to

II is bit pathetic to see a man
or woman trying to instruct, advise,

when you don't know, you just don't

in the quarterly board meetings,
however, as long as those of us
know what the boards are held for,
we do not have to worry to become
alarmed over what some Individual
might suggest or would like to see
done in these particular boards, This
procedure has not just started. II

LEARNING TO LIVE WITH
YOURSELF
DR.. j. S. Bonnell

Every one born into the world who
lives to maturity is faced with
dual problem, that of learning to live
with himself a d learning to live
with other people. These two prob
lens are intimately related. The
first achievement must precede the
second Until man has learned to
live with himself, he cannot live sue
cessfully with others.
Life is not an easy matter for any
of us. 1t demands self-mastery We
must bring under firm control our
own inner drives and desires and
passions. We must discipline our
emotions, establish constructive hab-
its of thought and Of conduct, and
develop self-reliant and Well-adjust-
ed personalities.
Now, the measure of success that
we have in mastering ourselves Will
determine, to a large degree, our
ability to live happily with others.
The person who cannot G It along
with anybody is invariably at war
with himself. His impotence, his
uncontrolled temper, his domineer-
ing ways, are all projections upon
other people of his own inner con-
flict.
