Cautions On Safe
Use of Electricity

Use electricity safely on the
farm, or it can be a quick killer
in an off-guard moment, cautions
County Agent George Vapaa. He
warns that the ordinary 115-volt
lighting circuit can be as deadly
as high voltage lines.
He joins with Bill Larsen, Agri-
cultural Engineer of the Undvers-
ity of Delaware, in recommending
that electric wiring, additions, or
repairs be checked by a qualified
person. When poorly installed, a
new extension or repair job can
make a safe wiring system haz-
| ardous. Z.
Even the best wiring system
needs a little attention now and
then. vapaa suggests: Outside,
you should check frequently for
broken insulators, frayed insula-
tion, and loose or sagging wires
that may contact trees or other
distractions. Inside the buildings,
watch for defective outlets or
switches, loose connections at
functions, damaged insulation or
worn fixtures. Appliance cords
need frequent attention. When
defective, discard or repair cords
Immediately.
Don't delay repairs. 1t may
cost life. Even for minor re-
pairs, you should be sure the cur
rent has been turned off before
work begins. Water is a good con-
ductor of electricity so remember
to be especially cautious in damp
places. When you purchase elec-
trical appliances, look for the
"UL" label signifying that the
equipment has been tested and ap-
proved by the Underwriters Lab
oratory.
"When a fuse blows, some
thing is wrong-too much load on
the circuit or a short circuit some
where. Locate and remove the
source of the overload or short
before inserting a new fuse, and
be sure to use the proper size
fuse"

Blind Application
Of Roll Roofing
Conceals All Nails

Asphalt roll roofing, often used
for garages, farm service build
ings, and other utility structures,
can be applied so that all nail
heads are concealed.
"nl;nd mailing" is an excellent
method of application wherever
roll roofing IS used and Is par
ticularly recommended for use In
windy areas. Where one strip OF
roofing laps another, the edge OF
the bottom sheet Is nailed to the
roof deck while the overlapping
edge OF the top sheet is cementeo
with quick-setting asphalt cement.

If you want a screen door that
doesn't look like one, a newly
developed louver panel that fits
on the outside of the door is the
answer.
The louver panel can be in
stalled on a new door or door
already hung. After conversion of
a door to a combination louver-
screen, the smart-looking wood
louvers supply attractiveness,
while the hidden screen keeps
insects out.
The louver panel is made en-

The ponderosa pine panel can

standing of the resources for adop-
ton that are available in the Negro
community, if sought.
In the % communities where the
Leagues are actively engaged in
foster and adaptive home projects,
several methods have been used
successfully to increase the num-
Der of homes. In some instances,
many agencies of the community
worked together to do the job. In
others, individual agencies hired
additional staff to handle the prob
lem.
jackson pointed out in his report
that: There is also a general

Of opening up homes for Negro
children does not simply involve

involves the total community ana
also agencies and their practice"
In New York City, for instance,

eating their interest in the Urban

governed by a Board representing

After giving an account of other

Every year this sorority selects
the most outstanding woman of the
year The woman who had rem
dered more of her service to the
community, then any other, is Sc
lected. This year the Zetas selected
Miss Arlena Seneca as the "Wom-
an of the Year."
Reverend Greenfield was chosen
by the sorority to preach for the
occasion, and he chose for his SER
mon a very fitting subject Char
acter;stics of a Good Woman" He
pointed out the following: Good
women are kindhearted, generous,
faithful, understanding, thrifty,
courageous, and most of all, God
Fearing.
Reverend Greenfield also en-
phasized the point that Men do
not seem to give women their
rightful place, but tend to tramp
them down, and try to become the
more superior. But" Mr.. Greenfield
said, there are many women who
are far superior to men; for they
Surpass them in many characters
tics, fields, and careers"
Many good points were gathered
from Reverend Greenfield'S SER
mon.
