Church Provides
Childrens Treat

The children at the Madison
County Childrens Home had
prolonged THANKSGIVING tro t
through the generosity of Trinity
Episcopal Church.
For the annual community
Thanksgiving service which was
at Trinity this year, the Reverend
Sanford c. Lindsey, had decorated
the church altar in a most unusual
motif.
To remind the worshippers of
some of their blessings, he had
employed every imaginable vege-
table and fruit in magnificent de-
sign. Heaped on the altar were fra
grant punches of grapes; spicy ap-
pies and pineapples; bananas; tur-
nips, eggplant; pumpkins, peppers,
to mention just a few that were
massed in the artistic and sugges-
tive ornamentation.
Before the altar were suspended
ears of corn in husks and tiny
pumpkins, while at either side
were stately stalks of corn with
vegetables heaped at the bottom.
3 The altar remained lighted until
Friday, that any who cared to,
might see the unusual decorations
and then baskets of the fruit were
taken to the children's home by
church vestrymen for Thanksgiv-
ing treat.

New Chauffeur's
Lie Laws Are
Effective Dec. |

Drastic changes in the procedure
for issuing chauffeur's licenses
were revealed today by the Ohio
Department of Highway Safety in
a major action to keep unqualified
drivers from operating commercial
motor vehicles.
The new regulations, announced
by Corporal P. J. Peterson, Com
manding Officer Of the State High
way Patrol Post at London, are
effective tomorrow, Tuesday, De-
cember l. Corporal Peterson said
the new regulations are uniform
over the state and will be admin
istered by the Driver Examiner
Section Of the Patrol.
Under the new rules setup by
the Ohio Department of Highway
Safety persons holding regular op'
orators licenses will be required tC

Postmaster Gives
TIPS On Mailing
YuIe Packages

mo one" says Postmaster Sch
lechty "is as busy these days as
the average postal employee un-
less it's the average housewife. I
doubt if either will have time to
think twice about anything before
Christmas rolls around"
It's true, Mrs. Homemaker. So
true that it will pay you many
times over to follow the PostmaS-
ter's advice on how to mail your
Christmas cards and gifts correct
ly-the first time!
For example, the Post Office has
little interest in how pretty your
gift packages are wrapped. But it
is definitely concerned about how
well each parcel is wrapped.
Postmaster Schlechty warns
that, THE Christmas mail will be
heavier than ever this year. If
your gifts are fragile, mark them
Handle With Care Well do our
best to protect them"
He also suggests you select a
mailing carton of corrugated fib-
erboard. Use a heavy wrapping
paper and strong cord tied over
and under several times. Christ
mas seals and do Not Open IN
til Christmas" stiCkers should be
placed on back of the parcel, so
the address remains easy to read.
The package itself may not be
sealed, unless the return address
and this inscription appear: Con
tents, Merchandise-May be open
ed for postal inspection"
Both the sender'S address and
that of the recipient should be
written inside of the mailing car
ton, for emergency use. Limits on
size and weight this year vary aC-
cording to destination. Ask about
them when you visit the Post Of
flee to buy stamps.
As for Christmas cards, the
Postmaster strongly recommends
that everyone, Forget the two's
and use the three's. With a three
cent stamp Christmas cards are
sorted and delivered first, and
they will be forwarded or return
ed if necessary.
That eliminates any worry
about whether your Christmas
cards went astray, provided they
did carry a return address. Also
you can write a personal message
on them, when only a signature is
authorized at the third-class rate"
Delivery of your Christmas
cards can be speeded up, too. Just
tie them in two separate bundles,
and attach the special labels
marked ALL FOR LOCAL DE-
LIVERY" and ALL FOR OUT
OF-TOWN DELIVERY" These
tags can be picked up at the Post
Office, and you'll find other help
full mailing instructions printed on
back.
IF you begin now, there's plenty
of time for delivery by Christmas
Eve. Christmas cards going to
other states should be posted be-
fore December Is, those with local
addresses at least week before
Christmas.
Parcel post requires more time.
So mail your out-of-state gifts by
December ), and the local ones by
December 10. After these dates
are past, better use air mail serv-
ice for both gift packages and
Christmas cards.

that any emergency first aid kit be

not be large, but should contain

Unit type kits have complete

These kits are arranged in cases of
Is, "a or 80 units. Each unit package
contains one or mere individual
dressing or ampouies. Each dressing
is complete In itself and is sealed in
a wax paper wrapper. 1t contains
just enough material to treat a single
injury.
1t should be remembered that an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure-and that ordinary
caution and care can prevent many
accidents that require the use of
first aid kit.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-07-15

because of the increased activ-
ID ity on our farms of today,
well equipped first aid kits should
be an integral part of every modern
farm.
Not only is first aid kit essential
in the home, but it should be placed
in the barn, the milk house, and the
farm shop or machine shed as well.
1t also is recommended that a first
aid kit be easily accessible on every
piece of equipment such as tractor,
combine or hay baler. Every auto
mobile and truck should carry it.
Even the most careful farm worker
may need first aid at some time.
Cuts, bruises, blisters and burns, no
matter how small, should be given
prompt attention. A small cut can
result in a very big infection. Any
thing other than minor injuries,
however, should receive the atten-
ton of doctor.
First aid kits need not be expen-
sive or difficult to provide. They
can easily be assembled at home by
family members. No great outlay
of money is necessary.
In the Home
For the home, perhaps the most
convenient place to store first aid
supplies is in the medicine cabinet.
Many medicine cabinets, however,
serve only as resting place for
ancient prescriptions and unlabeled
bottles, and are an invitation to dis
aster. Check through the following
points carefully:
/. House-clean the medicine cab
met. Throw away everything in it
that is no longer needed.
2. Drugs prescribed for one mem
Der of the family should not be used
to treat another. Most prescriptions
are tailored for one person and
should not be taken by anyone else.
3. Organize your medicine cab
met. Keep the top shelf for anti
septics and other dangerous drugs
Be sure all poisons are labeled as
such.
4. Check for any old medication:
that may prove dangerous. Some
antiseptics such as iodine, grow
more powerful with age as a result
of evaporation.
Assemble Supplies
After the container has beef
checked thoroughly, assemble tn
supplies and place them in conven
lent location in the cabinet. If
medicine cabinet is not accessible
a tight box, preferably metal, sucl
as a cash box or fishing tackle DO;
could be used. If the medicine cab
met is used, definite part shoul
be set aside for first aid materia
and it should be kept in neat an
orderly fashion.
Certain other articles may b
needed occasionally for specific ir
juries but in general this is all tn
material required. Epson salts, o
of cloves, calamine lotion and sue
items may be found in the HON
medicine cabinet, but are not cor
sidered as first aid supplies. Bical

Kousin Kay Has
Tenth Birthday
In Broadeastinu

Walt Kay of Radio WDOK is
observing his tenth year in the
broadcasting field.
Strictly an ingenue and without
experience or training, Kay began
his radio work with station VIM
RN, Marion, Ohio in 1943. After
years apprenticeship he returned
to his native city as a staff an
nouncer at WTAM.
1t was then Kay developed the
idea for an "all-kidish" show, spin
ming only those records exclusive
for juvenile consumption. Within
months stations everywhere were
doing a similar program.
To get away from the familiar
"Uncle" and "Big Brother" routine,
Kay chose the name "Kousin Kay"
upon the conjecture that many
youngsters were without cousins.
After six highly successful years
at WTAM, Kay joined the new
WDOK station. His "Kousin Kay's
Korner" became permanent
lunchtime fixture. His "Album of
Music" is worthy contribution TO
good listening. His Merry Co
Round over WXEL is excellent.
Kay, 32 and his wife Virginia and
their four children, Marilyn, 10;
Ronnie, 8; Jimmy, Z; and Pamela,
l and a half years old, reside in
Brecksville, moving from Van
Buren st. in East Cleveland re-
