Take Care This Summer
When Near The Water

"The swimming season is now at
its height and extra care should be
taken to insure safety in swimming
and other water sports" says Miss
Louise r. WhitcOmb of the state
farm safety advisory committee and
home management specialist, Uni
Versity of Delaware.
National Safety Council records
show that approximately $500 per-
sons drowned in 1852 and of these,
about $500 were nOn-swimming ia
talties, consisting principally of
persons slipping or stumbling and
falling into water.
Here are some recommended pre-
cautions to reduce the needless loss
of life from water sports.
l. Make a thorough investigation
regarding the safety of swim
ming facilities.
2. Don't swim alOne-never go in
to the water when tired, over
heated or Immediately after
eating.
). Don't overload a boat. There
may be seats for more people
than the boat should carry.
4. Always step into the center of
the bOat-never jump; never
stand up in a boat; never per-
NIT hOrseplay.
.. Old tubs, boilers, jars, or other
containers should not be left
around the farmstead. 1t takes
as little as two inches of water
to drown an infant.
6. Protect stock watering tanks
If possible, fence them off or
cover them.
Z. Never swim in polluted water.
Wait for an hour following meals
before entering the water and do
not swim if Overheated. Avoid ex-
erting your strength and never dive
into strange water where the deptb
and condition of the bottom are un-
known.

Quality Eggs Increase
Profits

You can get between II and 20
per cent more money for your eggs
if you are careful about quality,
says w. T. McAllister, marketing
specialist for the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service. Putting
it another way, having 80 per cent
of your eggs A quality or better
can mean as much as a dollar a
bird extra profit each year.
To get this extra profit, you must
sell on a market that pays a prem
ium for quality eggs, McAllister
points out. He says there are plen-
ty of these markets available to
Delaware pOultrymen if they will
take the time to develop them.
Egg routes such as those where
the consumer buys direct from othe
farm usually require the highest
quality eggs and return the highest
prices to the farmer. Many res
taurants, hotels, industrial cafe
terias, and retail stores recognize
the sales appeal of quality eggs and
are willing to pay premium for
a dependable local supply.
On the other hand, egg buyers
such as grocery stores, feed deal
ers, hatcheries, and many of the
country egg buyers or hucksters
pay little attention to quality when
buying or trading eggs.
Good egg markets just don't
happen" McAllister observes, "they
are developed by progressive pOul-
trymen who are looking for ways
to increase their income. County
agricultural agents will be glad to
help poultrymen with their egg
marketing problems" ,"
Keeping summer eggs in good
quality for that premium price is
also important. For best quality
eggs should be collected in wire
baskets three or four times daily
They should be stored in a cool
damp room at temperatures of Sc
to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The eggs
and cases should be cooled before
packing. For best quality, market
at least twice a week.

Puts On Program

Camp Arrowhead On Rehoboth
Bay reached its halfway mark Of
the 1858 season Sunday when the
majority of 80 boys departed after
completing fOur-week camping
period, and were replaced by new

tired, who once served as football
coach at West Point. Some boys re-
mained for the entire eight-week

with great glee by the boys one
night the past week in the mess hall,
when they set up the traditional
Christmas tree and gifts were dis
tributed to all campers
This was topped off with an old
fashioned turkey dinner with all the
'fixings." Another gala event, the
annual birthday party, was staged
last Saturday night. The boys were
allotted seats at a table correspond
ing with the month of their birth.
Each of the twelve groups presented
a skit in competition for prizes
awarded by the camp.
Athletic awards and medals for
riflery were presented at the close
of the evening to boys who had
completed their fOur-week period.
Colonel Sasse says riflery is the
most popular activity this season,
with riding and overnight sailing
parties next in favor.
Visitors Day will be celebrated
Aug. 8, when parents of all campers
will be guests at an outdoor slipper
Two outstanding August events
planned are the annual horse show
and wild west show. A banquet will

SNAKE TROUBLE

CHATFIELD, Man. - (R) - The
Chatfield area, IS miles north OF
Winnipeg, lays claim to the most
prolific snakes in the wOrld-and
the healthiest.
Every spring, harmless garter
snakes turn the town into some
thing between a hangover and a
nightmare, but it doesn't seem to
worry Chatfielders.
A few snakes were reported in
town this year but nothing to what
it was three years ago. First signs
of the invasion were reported on
the highway, where numerous
snakes, apparently summing them
selves on the gravel, were killed by
cars.
Three years ago an attempt was
made to wipe out the reptiles with
chemicals, Dut it had no noticeable
effect.
I'VE just had to learn to live
with them" said A. B. Martin. mu-
nicipal clerk at InwOOd, a nearby
village.

Rent Chief Says ORs

SIum Rehabilitation
By Robert J. Lewis

II A city needs a vacancy rate
of from 2 to 4 per cent, including
for-Sale houses, before rent con-
troll can be lifted without i'm
posing hardship on tenants, Rent
Stabilizer James McI. Henderson
told The Star today.
Mr.. Henderson believes a 5 per
cent vacancy rate is about

"I don't think that it should
necessarily be that high before
decontrol would be justified. ]

Mr.. Henderson discussed in an
Interview a recent report of the
agency's work made to the; Eco

He said he thought that re-

was possible even under rent
control, though he said he recog-

further encourage owners to
halt deterioration, and to re-
habilitate already -deteriorated
dwellings,.
The ORS director said he be-
slieved rent control should be
removed as soon as possible. but
that decontrol should be on q
city-by-city basis to avoid
hardship. He said that while

remaining problem was still one
