This report, by r. H. Baker
and r. B. Schwart, summarizes
the results of four-year study
of accidental deaths of farm
people. During the four years,
1916 to 1949, they found 1,841
Ohio farm people had died as the
result of accidents.
In Ohio, there was about one
fatal accident on the farm every
three days, while in the farm home
there was one every two days. Ac-
cident rate to farm people while
off the farm was one every two
days.
Twice as many men and boys
met with fatal accidents as did
women and girls. About one-halt
of all those having fatal accidents
were more than 60 years of age
Tractors caused the most fre-
quent fatal accidents on the farm
while falls were the chief offend
ders in the home. Off the farm
the automobile caused the most
accidents.
Study of these accidents led the
economists to state that many of
the accidents could have been pre-
vented.
They say that eff fewer chances
were taken and if greater care
were exercised, many of the 1,841
Ohio farm people who met with
fatal accidents in the past four
years might be alive today" =.
There figures contain some
warnings for the months ahead
More than one-half of the fatal
accidents on the farm were in the
four months, June through Sept
ember. About one-half of the fat
al accidents off the farm were in
five months, May through Sept
ember.

Fireworks Sale
Illegal In Ohio

Throughout the Nation on the
Fourth of July, and in some in
stances several weeks preceding
it, many persons are injured,
sometimes seriously, from the in
discriminate use of fireworks.
A warning was issued several
months ago by Harry j. Callan,
State Fire Marshal, stating that
all types of fireworks, with the ex-
ception of paper caps containing
twenty-five hundredths grains or
less of explosive compound are
illegal and can not be sold in the
State of Ohio.
w. T. Holiday, Chairman of the
Board, Standard Oil Company
(Ohio) and General Chairman of
The Ohio Fire Safety Committee,
has this statement to make: DE
spite the fact that fireworks are
not legally for sale in the State
of Ohio, many unethical persons
are bootlegging them, and in many
occasions to children of twelve
years and under who are not per-
mitted to buy them at any time.
Parents, he continued, should
caution their children against
their purchase the same as they
would be cautioned against traf-
ficing with any other person who
is breaking the law"
In some sections of the state it
has been noted that some persons
have already been injured from
fireworks. The State Fire Marshal
has asked the cooperation of all
police chiefs, sheriffs and prosec-
utors in the state for their con-
tinued efforts in enforcing the
law, SO that the lives, limbs and
eyes of Ohio's children will not
be sacrificed.
1t is squarely up to the people
of all communities in the state
to refuse to sanction the boot
Logging of fireworks by not buying
them, and we will not have a
single person killed or injured
from fireworks in Ohio this Fourth
of July, 1850.

the Middle East. Customs officers
went over them carefully and dis
covered a small quantity of opium
glued to the inside of a tarpaulin
in a cargo hold. They also found
more opium in the chain locker.
The master furnished the impor-
tant clue that three of his men
had been arrested in Curacao on
suspicion of smuggling but had
been released and were serving
on other vessels. The British au-
thorities believe the contraband
drugs belonged to them but were
unable to trace it's origin.
The detective story of the mar
cotics cases may never end, but
U.N. statistics show that traffic in
some illicit drugs have been stead
lily reduced while in others it has
increased. In the case of opium,
for example, seizures of illicit
drugs fell considerabley between
1916 and 1948. Seizures of only
one important drug of the Indian
hemp group rose during that
period,

Whipped Cream
And Bananas
For Pretty Pie

June is National Dairy Month.
Dairy Products are important to
good cooking and to nourishing
meals. Fluffy, lavish whipped
cream is one of the dairy products,
and it has interest for the bride
or beginner cook in the easw way
it makes wonderful desserts.
A good example is a delicious,
homemade Banana Whipped
Cream pit. Though this looks like
wonderful sample of the chefs
art, is is actually very easy to
make, as easy as making pastry
with a pie crust mix, whipping
cream and slicing bananas. There
are few cooking techniques as
simple as that, and yet they pro-
duce delectable pie.
A little lesson for the bride is
the banana ripeness story. She
can tell fully-ripe bananas by the
peel. They should be yellow fleck-
ed with brown.
Banana Whipped Cream PIE
Dash of Salt
/ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
Few drops vanilla or almond
flavoring
a to 5 ripe bananas
l baked 9-inch pie shell
Toasted cocoanut
Use fully ripe bananas yellow
peel flecked with brown.
Add salt to cream and beat with
rotary egg beater or electric mix
er until stiff enoungh to hold it's
shape. Fold in sugar and vanilla
or almond flavoring. Cover bottom
of pie shell with small amount of
whipped cream. Peel banana and
slice into pie shell Cover immedi-
ately with remaining whipped
cream. Garnish with toasted cocoa
nut. Makes ! pie.

THE word salary" comes from
the Latin "salarium," which
was that part of an ancient Roman
soldiers pay paid in salt. So
that's why, when you ask the boss
for raise, he takes it with grain

The u. S. has restricted the
movement of Romanian diplomats
in this county to an area within

A move that will surely cramp the

The syndicate case had its roots

PRAYER

A prayer in its simplest

it does not return unto
us void.

The residents of the 1900 block

the name of the street changed
although there is another 1900
block of Emerson street NE.

rename one of the Emerson
