Throw Some Light
On The Subject

Are you working under enough
light? Can you really see what
you are doing without having to
put your nose into your work?
One of the reasons for that
headache may be eyestrain due
to improper lighting. 1t may also
account for those mistakes you're
making and that close shave you
had with your fingers in the ma
chine.
If you're in a position to con-
troll your own lighting, try ex-
perimenting with the light until
you find the right angle. Avoid
having the light throw shadows
on your work. Try larger bulb
but be careful to avoid glare.
If a light fixture is very dirty
or if a bulb is out or missing, why
not bring it to the attention of the
son - charge? Pickering flu
crescent light tubes can be very
annoying.
If you're lucky enough to be

HEAL-T THFULLY
YOURS
By Robert A. voqeI NJ. o.
Health Commissioner
Modison County
Let's Eat

You don't see many people with
bow-legs these days This is due
to another of those miracles of
nutrition discovered by food scien-
fists.
The bones of the body are made
up of a mineral called calcium.
Now there may be plenty of
calcium floating around in the
blood, but the problem is how to
get it into the bones. That's where
Vitamin D comes in. Without this
valuable substance to guide and
set the calcium in the bones, they
remain soft and weak.
Vitamin . is to calcium in the
body what water is to cement.
With water mixed in, cement soon
hardens into rock. With plenty
of Vitamin D. calcium forms hard
bones and teeth. Growing children
especially, need plenty of Vitamin
D. But hard working adults need
it also to maintain sound healthy
teeth and bones.
While most babies and chill
dren get additional amounts of
Vitarnin . in their cod liver oil
and other kinds of special prepa-
rations, adults can get all they
need from their regular diets.
Dairy products are rich in Vita
min d. That's why people are
urged to drink plenty of milk
and to eat butter, cream, ice
cream and all kinds of cheese.
Eggs are a very good source of
Vitanin d and these should be
included in the diet.
If you like to eat fish you will
be happy to learn that tuna, sal
mon, herring and sardines are all
rich in Vitamin D.
Since all these fish can easily
be used to make sandwiches, this
offers a fine way to get some of
your necessary Vitamin D in at
lunch time.

Keep Alert And
Stay Alive If
Walking Roads

T. j. Kauer, Director of the
Ohio Department of Highways, to-
day urged all those who have to
use the highway as a walking
place to keep alert and stay alive.
Fifty pedestrians were killed on
rural state highways during the
first six months of 1850, accord
ing to statistics compiled by the
State Highway Departments Di-
vision of Traffic and Safety.
Director Kauer pointed out
that it was particularly dangerous
at this time of the year for per-
sons afoot, since Fall and Winter
months mean earlier darkness,
which greatly increases pedestrian
hazards.
When walking along the high
way where there are no side
walks, pedestrians were strongly
urged to walk to the left of the
roadway, facing approaching traf-
fic. Then it is possible to step off
the highway in quick order
should the occasion demand.
Moreover, don't depend on the
motorists seeing you at night"
cautioned Kauer. Assume respon-
sibility for your own safety.
Wear light colored clothing or
something that will reflect light.
Carry a flashlight, for instance,
or knot handkerchief on your
arm or carry newspaper"
All pedestrians were also eau
toned to look carefully and not
to start across the highway unless
there was plenty of time to get
all the way acrosse before ap-
preaching traffic could bear down
on them.
Walking carefully" reminded
Kauer, lis a step in the right
direction"

State To Operate
Dressing Stations
In Deer Season

The Ohio Division of Wildlife
will once again operate deer
dressing and weighing stations
during the 1850 Ohio deer sea-
son, extending from Jan. 2
through Jan. 5.
The checking stations, nine of
them, are to be located in eight
of the 10 counties which will have
an open season.
DR.. Floyd Chapman, assistant
chief of the game management
section, who will supervise the
organization and operation of the
stations, has announced that the
stations will be maintained both
for the convenience of the hunt
ers and for gathering accurate in
formation on the health, weight
and measurements, age, food hab-
its and reproductive success of
the Ohio deer herd.
He urges all hunters to bring
their kill to the stations not
dressed.
If hunters will bring their deer
promptly, the Division will "hog-
dress" the deer free of charge,
and will also have a photographer
present at each station to make
pictures of the kill.
1t is hoped that the results of
the weighing station check will
produce the best records yet on
Ohio's deer population and kill.
But the cooperation of the hunt
er is necessary if the project is
to be successful.
DR.. Chapman has advised that
the 1850 records will aid greatly
in determining next years season.

 James Wilson of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating As sociation reported that Palmer could be supplied with water for emergency use, although not for firefighting, even if the storage tank were destroyed. A direct flow will fill the mains in suffi- cient quantity for drinking pur- poses.
 It was strongly urged that all families avoid large quantity pur- chases of commodities likely to be scarce. However it was recom- mended that everyone stock enough food for a normal weeks supply.
 Further plans for Palmer's civil defense will be developed at a meeting to be held next Monday evening in Palmer School at eight o'clock. MT. Huntley urged that everyone interested in prepara- tions for the towns defense be present at these meetings. Com mittee heads will need workers to carry out assigned tasks, he said. Also, he feels that more effective planning can be derived from a group than from a few individ- uals. He needs the ideas of ev- eryone, he explained, in order that Palmer may have the best possible defense program.
