TAlPEH BOOMING

TAIPEH, FormOsa - up - This
capital of Nationalist China has
more than trebeled it's population
since it was restored to Chinese
rule after World War II. The pop
ulatiOn now stands at 100000 and
is still growing, despite govern
ment efforts to get nOn-essential
residents to leave to avoid the per-
il of possible Communist air at
tacks.
Chinese hocked in from the main
land after the Communists triumph
there appeared assured and there
is steady influx from the country
side.
The population includes tens of
thousands of squatters who have
built crude shacks wherever they
could find space-in some instances
even on the sidewalks.

Check Your Farm
Workshop For Safety

Orderlines, good lighting, safe
tools and equipment make shop
work easier and safer, says County
Agent George Vapaa. And a care
full workman is a basic require
ment for a safe workshop
Go over your farm shop with
critical eye to locate accident
hazards and inconvenience, the
agent advises. Some of these may
have remained unnoticed for years.
The next step is to correct them,
and the solution is usually obvious
and does not require special in
structiOns.
Question the way you work, and
have a determination to change
unsafe habits that are hazardous.
Do some hOusecleaning and set
things in order if the benches,
storage cabinets and work areas
are Obstructed or cluttered Don't
work in the dark; see that danger
Gus corners and work centers are
we'll lighted Avoid storing loose
materials overhead and see that
all tools are kept in a safe con-
ditiOn and in a safe place. ADEQUATE
ventilation to remove harmful
fumes is also important.
Don't overlook fire hazards,
warns the county agent. Besides
safe heating equipment, avoid un-
safe use and storage of flammable
materials. Check for defective cleo
trical appliances or wiring and
avoid unnecessary accumulations Of
greasy or oily rags. Install a fire
extinguisher or other fire suppress
sion aids so you have a chance to
check small fires that get started.
