The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1950-10-05

Miss Irene Siddon, a resident of
the Bethesda community, and a
member of the Belzoni faculty,
made an interesting trip this sum-
mer to the eastern states.
Her observations written to this
newspaper will be of interest to
her many friends in Holmes
county and our readers. The writ
er is a native of Holmes and was
educated in the schools at Bethes-
da and Moorhead High. She is a
graduate of Delta State Teachers
College and received her masters
degree in math from Ole Miss.
Miss Siddon writes:
Would you believe that there
are so many things of interest in
this country of ours? / have just
returned from a trip through the
eastern states to Washington, Bal
timore and Annapons.
One of the first things to be seen
was the Great Stone Mountain
near Atlanta, Georgia. On this
mountain are carvings that have
been begun, but not yet finished.
Part of the carvings is Robert E.
Lee and his horse.
On our way, we crossed many
beautiful streams of water. The
Potomac River was one of the
prettiest. Many of the highways
are dual highways - for which
the traveller is thankful.
We saw large peach orchards
and grape vineyards in North and
South Carolina; apple orchards
in Virginia and Maryland; and
tobacco fields from Richmond
Va. to Baltimore, Maryland.
During my visit in the Capitol
City, / went on several tours OF
the city and the surrounding
country. One tour included the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
where paper currency is made; the
Smithsonian Institute, housing fas.
cinating exhibits collected from
all over the world; the United
States Capitol in which the paint
ings are said to be the largest anC
most famous in the country. (The
Senate was in SESSION.; the Con
gressional Library which ha:
more than 5000, 900 volumes, many
rare books, first editions, and the
originals of the United State:
Constitution and the Declaration
of independence.
We could not 60 into the White
House due to repair work being
done. We went to the top of the
Washington Monument, a stupen'
dous shaft of granite, 555h fee
high. Other points of interest were
the Lincoln Memorial; the JEFF.
ferson Memorial; Departments o.
Justice, Commerce, Labor anc
Agriculture; the Embassies; the
Pentagon Building; the Pan-Am'
erican Union; and, the evel
famous Connecticut Avenue.

Our next point of interest was
Wilson Dam, the home of the T..
v. A. Wilson Dam is about three
miles from Florence, Alabama.
Last, but certainly not least,
was the large earthen dam on the
Tallahatchie River - the Sardis
Dam. The purpose of this dam is
for flood control of the Yazoo Ri
yer. Other benefits are for agri-
culture, forestry, and fish and
wildlife conservation. The dam
was finished in 1910 at the cost
of 4,000,0 900.

News About
Developments
In Equipment
By D. M. Derwin

Almost daily one reads IN the
papers of youngsters ranging from
months to years of age who
were either severely burned OF
electrocuted in the so-called safety
of their homes by current from
an unguarded electrical outlet
coming in contact with the baby's
wet clothes or from the inquisi-
tiveness of a curious and probing
finger that held a metal hairpin
OF similar metal object.
The number of these tragic ac-
cidents runs into the hundreds in
the course of a year.
Recently a large electrical COM
pany developed two specific elec-
trical devices that will safeguard
countless lives against these haZ-
ards. The first of these is a wall
outlet receptacle built with an
automatic closing feature that will
keep out metal objects. dust, dirt
and even water, and which auto
matically eliminates the possi-
bility of any one getting an elec-
trical shock. The other is a safety
extension cord set which also
eliminates any possibility of elec-
trical shock.
A built-in rotary cap which
automatically closes the outlet
when not in use is the outstand-
ing feature of both of these elec-
trical devices. This safety feature
eliminates all hazards, protects
lives, and keeps the current-carry-
ing parts clean and shockproof
at all times. If you're renovating
or building new construction it
would be we'll to specify these
shockproof safety receptacles. The
receptacles are made of thick
double walls insulating the heavy
duty terminals.
To connect a lamp or appli-
ance, insert the plug prongs into
the rotary cap opening, turn it
a quarter turn to the right and
push in. When the plug is with
drawn, the rotary cap springs
back to its original position and
the outlet is safely closed.
Children, especially small ones,
cannot possibly insert wire, hair
pins or other hazardous articles
into the current carrying part to
cause shocks, burns or short cir
cults. The cord of the cord set
is 9 feet long. Either of these
electrical safety units or both can
be installed simply and easily.
oor-Window Safety Hook.
A new screen door and window
safety hook now on the market
consists of a conventional hook
and eye on which is mounted a
sleeve or collar which tightly grips
the hook end when closed.
The sleeve is held in closed po-
sition by a steel thrust spring,
sufficiently strong so that a small
child cannot open it. Only by
grasping the sleeve firmly and
pushing back against the spring
can the safety hook be disen-
gagged.
Because the same operation is
necessary for locking as for un-
locking, it cannot be locked &C
cidentally. Thus this lock is i'm
mune to accidental opening and
the collar on the lock keeps it

Booklet Explains
Ohio Constitution

Growth and development of
Ohio's Constitution is outlined in
a 16-page pamphlet compiled by
Lauren A. Closer, secretary Of
the Constitutional Convention
Committee of the Ohio Program
Commission.
Purpose of the booklet is to pro-
vide Ohioans with a summary of
provisions Of the states govern
mental "yardstick," preparatory
to voting upon the question in
1852 of whether a constitutional
convention should be held to re-
draft the present document.
The first Constitution, the book
let reveals, was the work of IS
delegates meeting in Chillicothe
in 1903 and required 25 days to
complete. A second draft was
adopted in 1851, but the voters re-
jected another effort in 1874.
The last constitutional conven-
ton was held in 1912 when the
delegates adopted A amendments,
of which 33 were approved by the
electorate. The Constitutional
Convention Committee recently
recommended that further study
be given to the question before
making any recommendations as
to whether such a convention
should be held.

AA good dental examination in
cludes an x-ray because it helps
the dentist find small hidden cav
tiles which cannot be seen by the
eye alone. The X-ray also shows
if anything is wrong with the roots

@. Why won't my druggist re-
fill certain prescriptions for me?
If the medicine was alright the
first time, why can't / keep taking
it?
A. If your original prescription
contained a drug which might
cause harm if continued without
medical supervision, the law de-
mands that new prescription be
presented if the medicine lis to be
used again. This is to protect you.
@. How serious is lump in the
breast and how soon should it be
removed?
A. All Jumps in the breast
should be examined by a physi-
clan to make sure cancer is not
present. The doctor will decide
after examination when the lump
should be removed.

Taft Declares No Farmer

Ed Note-Delivered over select
ed Ohio Stations, October IL. The
following is@a special transcribed
message .from Senator Robert A.
Taft to the farmers Of Ohio.
SENATOR TAFT: r have just
seen the second issue of tab
Ioid newspaper prepared by the
CIO Political Action Committee
which is to be distributed to every
rural mailbox in Ohio. This is
sponsored by.a so-called Farmers
for Ferguson Committee, but it
is obvious that no farmer ever
wrote any of the material in the
publication. Like the preceding is
sue. this scurriIous sheet is full
of PAC-concocted lies and mis-
representations. 1t is supposed to
be an attack on my farm record,
but apparently the CIQ-PAC. has
quickly run out of material :
even pure fabrications, because
most of the second issue has moth
ing to do with agriculture. Much
of the space is devoted to the
amount of money Republicans are
supposed to be spending in this
campaign. This dsaifr. accord with
the Communist, technique of ac-
cusing the other fellow Of doing
what you are doing yourself. Tt
has been Well-known fact for
the past year or more that the
union bosses have organized the
largest political fund in history
to be used against single candi-
date. In Columbus, Ohio, on Aug
ust "a, 1949,. that's more than a
year ago, William Green, presi-
dent of the AFL, said Cost what
it may, we're going to bring about
