Tremendous strides have been
made in the past four years to-

The army corps of engineers is
prepared to take prompt action
to meet critical flood conditions
in several Montana e where

damage this spring, Rep. Wesley
A. D'Ewart reports.
D'Ewart said he had presented
eight specific flood problems to
the engineers, and received as
surance they would be given
speedy consideration. Operating
on a limited budget, the engi-
neers must tackle the most crit
ical problems first.
One project, to protect two
bridges on highway SO in Park
county, already has been approx
ed. The bridges are in the vi
cinity of Clyde Park where the
weather bureau forecasts a run
off of 256 per cent of normal, far
the highest in western United
States.
Others recommended by d.
Ewart include bank protection
and flood control measures at
Saco, Chinook Billings, Great
Falls, Miles City, Madison. and
Jefferson rivers near Three
Forks, and Havre.
Funds for emergency work on
flood protection are included in
the deficiency appropriation bill
now pending before the senate.

Food for Thought

by Mary Davenport, Nutritionist,
Delaware State Board of Health
Every purchaser of food and
household supplies is aware of de-
creases in these prices, yet the
story comes to us that family food
bills remain the same, that total
food bills do not show this trend.
Discussion of this statement with
women has revealed that they
grant they are bit at fault. They
say they are buying less carefully
than they did when food prices
were at their peak.
Then a broad look at a recent
Consumers Price Index and a
story of retail food prices, shows
these figures: a price index of s
per cent below the July 1948 peak.
Decreases led for eggs, fats and
oils, meat, poultry and fish.
In contrast fresh fruit and vege-
table prices rose more than 5 per

MANY DEATHS
BY ACCIDENTS
Nearly $4,000 Children Killed
Yearly in United
States
HOME ACCIDENTS LEAD

Accidents are the leading causes
of death among children from
through IA years of age, says the
Delaware Safety Council. Nearly
1900 children in this age group
are killed in all kinds of accidents
in the United States each year. &c
cidents to children also are an out
standing cause of disabling and
permanent injuries.
The Delaware Safety Council al
so reports that forty per cent of
the accidents caused among the
children from L through ID years
of age are home accidents, thirty
four per cent of them are motor
vehicle, and twenty-six per cent
are all other accidents.
A happy home, where parents
and children love and respect one
another can't help but be a whole
some and enjoyable place in which
to live. More than that, it will most
likely prove to be a safe place, too.
Children are imitators, and no
amount of safety education the
parent gives his child can be COM
pletely effective unless Mother and
Father obey the rules, too. In safe
ty, as in everything else, children
absorb the attitudes of their par
ents and copy their behavior. Tell
ing Johnny to cross the street only
when the light is green is not 60
ing to seem important to him if he
sees you dashing across on the red.
And if Mary sees her mother
standing on a wobbly chair to get
something down from the cupboard
she's not unlikely to use ladder
or other sturdy support when she
needs to reach for something her
self. If you make sure that your
ways of doing things are reasonab-
1y safe and correct, you will find
that your children are likely to de-
ve1op safe practices, too. They will
take pride in acting as Mommy and
Daddy do and will soon learn that
the safe way is really the best way.

Fair, an Ancient Idea

Fairs are as old as mankind. For
centuries men have held fairs to
exhibit and sell the things they
make. In the Old Testament the
Book of Ezekiel refers to the fairs
Of Tyre. where merchants showed
their jewels, animals and spices.
Jerusalem had a famous fair held
during the Passover season. Nine
yah, Babylonia, Athens and Rome
held fairs, and as civilization
spread across continents fairs were
established as trading centers.
