How many hazards can you find 70

SAFETY, q crop to be harvested
on every farm and in every home, is
receiving special attention from more
than one-half million All Club MEM
bers taking part in the 1856 National
All Safety Program.
AS part Of their All Club work,
members in all 4S states are correcting
hazards such as those seen in the
above drawing. They are attempting
to reduce the Nations annual farm
toll of Ia 500 lives, ,250, 900 injuries,
and an economic loss of about q
billion dollars.
Alters, working as individuals or
in groups through their local clubs,
conduct surveys to locate hazards,
then correct the unsafe conditions.
They give demonstrations on hun
dreds of topics pertaining to farm,
home and highway safety. Members
present talks before group meetings
and over radio and television; put
displays in store windows; and build
booths at fairs.

Want to be good guest? May
be SO that you'll be invited back
for another weekend or longer
stay? If so observe pointers that
can put you in the good guest
bracket. Here are some you might
note for more enjoyable visits:
/. Arrive at the hour your hos
tess has set. If you are going by
train don't suggest taking one
earlier than she suggests. She'll
pick the time that is most conven-
lent for the family.
2. A little hostess gift is a
thoughtful way to begin the week.
end, although you can wait until
you arrive home to send flowers or
a little thank-you gift.
3. Arrive in cheerful mood. Try
not to complain about your trip or
that your head aches or about
other personal problems. Maintain
a happy mood during your stay.
Avoid looking bored even if you
are.
4. If there is a servant in the
household perhaps you will not be
needed to lend a hand with little
chores. But you should keep your
room neat and respond promptly
at mealtime.
5. A small home will need and
appreciate your assistance in set
ting or clearing the table no doubt.
If the hostess doesn't like an extra
hand she will tell you.
6. Dress appropriately so that
you do not have to borrow from
the hostess. Don't appear at table
in shorts, Slacks or other informal
attire unless the members of the
family do so.
z. Take a travelling alarm clock
with you if you have one. If one
is not available and you are a
sound sleeper, ask your hostess to
Top NAi yOOl uOOI III lijC fllOIIllilSs
Late Sleepers are likely to throw
a household completely off sched-
ule.
8. Try not to be underfoot all
the time. If you are visiting at a
girl or boy friends home, the par
ents will expect you to be around
for meals but at recreation in be-
tween times, unless they make
other plans for you. If you go out
in the evening tell them where you
are going and what time you are
returning.
9. Keep your room picked up.
Hang up clothes. Avoid shining
shoes with towels. Pack every
thing when you leave SO your hos
tess does not have to mail belt or
scarf to you.
10. AS soon as you arrive home
sit down and write your thank-you
note. Be enthusiastic even if il
rained every second of the week

Dark Horse Could
Win Jug Classic

Ever since the heavily favored
Ensign Hanover tipped the first
Little Brown jug in 1916, the
plight of the long shot has been
that of an "also started colt in
the jug summaries.
Winter book favorites such as
the Ensign, Knights Dream, Good
Time and Tar Heel have, with
regularity, graced the winners
circle the following September.
This condition, however, threat
ems to change this year, as several
"Johnnies come lately have sud-
denly sprung up to defy the long
standing jinx.
Tops among the "darks colts" to
date is Sea Eagle, owned by
Saunders Mills of Toledo, Ohio
Although unbeaten in nine starts
as 2-yr.-old, Sea Eagle received
little jug consideration because his
triumphs came chiefly at the
smaller county fairs. Early in June,
the Eagle began to raise horse
mems eyebrows when he toured
the Vernon Downs track in 2:02-
3/5, with first quarter in :27 3/5.
In his next start the son of Goose
Bay came right back with a handy
win in 2:03, defeating several other
jug eligibles. Sea Eagle is trained
by Harry Fitzpatrick.
Another colt who has impressed
this year is Futurity Chief. Raced
only lightly last year, the big grey
son of Chief Abbedale also toured
the county fairs, earning a modest
record of 2:09 3/5. This year Fu-
turity Chief, after few Tightening
up races, broke loose with a 2:04-
AS clocking over a none too fast
Painesville RaceWay track, boost
ing his jug stock considerable. He
is owned by the Montour Farms,
Coraopolis, Pa, and is trained by
Clark Mccoy.
Gold Rise, one of the first sons
of Guinea Gold, earned dark
horse" tab by virtue of his victory
in the Kentucky 3-yr.-Old Pace at
Fairgrounds Speedway. The Pearl
Hungerford owned colt routed a
field of II, including several jug
rivals, in lowering his record to
2:06.

Mobile Gate Adds
Zip To Trotters
At County Fair

The mobile starting gate, adopt
ed from the modern 'motor-age"
to become the salvation of his
toric sport, must be given major
credit for the current coast-to-
coast popularity of harness horse
racing.
Before the introduction of the
starting gate in 1916, the trotters
and PAGERS were sent on their way
by a leather-lunged man armed
with a megaphone and dependent
on the good intentions of compet-
ing drivers. Cooperation was sad
ly lacking and the spectators
yawned as try after try was made

The July 5th meeting was held
at the home of Gary Peters. We
talked about our gardens. Ruth
Steel moved we have a tour of Ho-
landia Gardens and Snyder Park
and also she moved we have a COM

onded and passed. After the bus
mess meeting we toured Gary and
Billy Young's gardens also refresh
ments were served by Mrs. Peters.
The meeting of July II was held
at Phil Henry's house. Our presi-
dent called the meeting to order,

to get a good start.
Those people who had been stay
ing away in droves came back to
the tracks with advent of the
starting gate, assured that long de-
lays were relegated to the past.
Many different types of gates
are in use but all operate on the
same general principle. On the
rear of an automobile are mount
ed wings" or "arTns" extending
across the track
The horses line up behind this
barrier as the car moves forward.
The car increases speed until, at
the starting point, it acceelerates
away leaving the trotters or pac-
ers a clear track ahead.
Madison County's track utilizes
the gate, operated for many years
by Briggs Mercer, a colorful fair
enthusiast.
