ents have been asked to provide
transportation from the school TO

Thanks to the many projects
in which the public participated.
the travel expenses of the entire
group were cut to practically nil.
Early estimates had placed the
fare at $3.50 per student. Tag

Commissioners Buy
Crushed Limestone

The Noble county commission
erS accepted the petition Of John
MenGenhall, ct. al, that a GER
tain section Of the highway be
placed on the township system
in Seneca township. There were
no objections filed at the hear
ing.
The commissioners also pur-
chased 1900 tons of No. As crush
ed limestone at Sl75 per ton
from the Lawrence King quarry.
The said price at the quarry
was to be billed and paid out
of the 1857 appropriation. All
the commissioners favored this
purchase.
They also allowed Ernest
Thompson expenses not to eX-
ceed $4,000 to attend the dog
wardens' convention in Colum-

Ohio Injuries

Agriculture was the most dan
gerous occupation in Ohio in 1855,
a statewide survey Of injuries COM
pleted this month by the Industrial
Commissions Division of Safety
and Hygiene disclosed.
While Ohio industry in general
was posting a substantial reduc-
tion in injury frequency, agricul-
ture set a new high-23.47 against
1886 the year before.
However, the severity rate of
agriculture dropped from 1880 in
1854 to 1885 in 1866. The severity
rate is based upon days lost per
1-million man-hours.
The safest employees continued
to be those in the trades. Their in
jury frequency (lost time injuries
per 1-million man-hours) was only
3.97--or drop from 4.46 in 1854.
Service was second with 6.52,
which was slightly more than the
1854 rate Of $50.
Other industries with high rates
included construction with 21.41 /;
mining, quarrying, oil and gas
wells with 20.16, and transporta-
ton with 17.72. Severity rate for
construction and transportation,
however, dropped. Mining, quarry
ing, oil and gas wells was higher.
Figures are based upon reports
to the Industrial Commission of
Ohio's Division of Safety and
Hygiene.

Select Carefully WooIen
Fabrics For Home SeWinq

Say the word "Wool' and most
people think of winter clothing.
For the seamstrcss who is turn
ing her attention to wooden gar
mcnts, Edith Berry, Ohio State
University extension clothing
specialist, has the following prac-
tical and helpful information on
selecting the right fabric.
Think Of your own sewing
skillS when buying your fabrics, ="
said Miss Berry. Although wool
is easy to mold and you can
easily shrink in unWanted full
ness or shape q collar with it,
1t is still material easy to spoil
with tightnesS in stitching, too
hard pressing, or by any look of
tension and stiffness.
Some fabrics are easier to
handle than Others" continued
the specialist For instance, a
lightweight, firmly-WoVcn tweed
or flannel is easier to handle
than loOscly-Wovcn tweed or d
crisp Worstcd, like gabardine. A
heavily-napped wooden fabrics
should be tackled only by the
person who is well skilled with
her sewing machines
Miss Berry s;.yS that it doe.
not matter if you buy your pat,
tern or your fabric first, Jus
as long as you end up with ;
fabric and a pattern that belonl
to each other. Soft, lightweight
! wool crepe or jersey are nice fo,
gathers, draped lines or impress
cd pleatS. Heavier, smoothc
( fabrics call for a pattern Will
! smooth, tailored lines.
For a dressy wool garment, tn
specialist recommends a pattern
fabric and color to suggest rich
ness and softness. A TAILORED
! garment has a more business
line look while the sports gar
ment suggests a certain rugger
or sturdy look.

Ohio Industrial Injury Rate
Hits New Low, Survey Shows

The injury rate in Ohio's in
tdustries dropped to an all-time
low in 1866 and the severity rate
also tumbled, figures released this
month by the Industrial Commis-
sion Of Ohio show.
The frequency rate for JOHN
! iuries was 7.87 for last year, COM
Ipared with a frequency rate of
I8.1S in 1854. This rate represents
lost time injuries per 1-million
man-hours.
The severity rate is based on
days lost per 1-million man-hours.
1.-THE new report shows a severity
rate of $50. This compares with a
lseverity rate Of TO in 1854.
Severity of injuries in Ohio in
Idustry is considerably less than
the national rates as 4 whole, the
Commissions figures brought out.
The National Safety Councils COM
parable figure is 815.
Fatal job injuries in Ohio in
1856 totaled 307 or rs less than
the previous year. Permanent total
disabilities were ID against 26 the
year before, and permanent partial
disabilities also were down, 1888
against 1898 in 1854.
Total disabling industrial injur-
les in the state for 1866 We're
43,302, considerable reduction
over 1954's 45,006, despite more
employees.
The Industrial Commissions
chairman, Richard w. Morse and
James H. Fluker, Superintendent
of the Division Of Safety and Hy-
giene, credited the improving rec
ord on three factors: Cooperation
Of management and labor in the
.safety program Of the Commits
sion; improved and increased
safety programs and materials
developed and promoted by the
Commission, and the continuing
work of the Commissions safety
advisors. In 1856 advisors made
1923 inspections in Ohio indus
trial plants.

In addition, an average of 30
persons died every day as a
result of all fires in the United
States. And an untold number
are horribly burned or manned
for life.
On the other hand, many per-
sons, apparently trapped by
flames, manage to save their
lives because they understand
what to do and what not to do
in case Of fire, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters re-
ports.
Here's what you should do;
Be prepared. Recognizing the
possibility that fire may strike
your home, decided now how you
could save your life were you
tonight to awake and smell
smoke.
Figure out two possible routes
to the ground from any upstairs
bedroom. 1t is unlikely that both
escape routes would be cut off
by flames during the early stage
of the fire.
If fire starts, arouse every
one in the house. Make it your
first duty to get everyone out Of
the house.
Cali the fire department i'm
mediately.
If you smell smoke, do not
rush out into the hallway. In
stead, place the palm Of your
hand against the door. If the
door feels hot, that hallway is
already filled with deadly heated
gasses. Escape either through the
window, if you are on ground
floor, or wait at the window for
rescue. Arouse people by shout
ing. If there's a phone in the
/ room, use it to turn in an alarm
Immediately.
If the door does not feel hot,
open it slightly. Hold your head
/ away and brace the door with
your foot. Put hand across open
ing to determine temperature of
air. If the hallway appears safe,
use the exit you had already
/ planned.
Knowing how to report a fire
may save your life and your
| home.
Write down the correct tcle-
/ phone number of your local fire
department, and place it near the
telephone. OF, if the procedure
in your town is to call the opera
tor, make note Of that.
Give your address clearly and
distinctly when you call.
Know the location Of the fire
alarm box ncorest your home
Famlliarizc yourself with the
directions and how to operate it,
If you turn in an alarm for I;
fire, wait by the box to direct
the firrmen to the scene of the
blaze.

that the Puritan Parliament out

observance declined until the
middle of the 18th century, when
Charles Dickens published his
"Christmas Carol" The heart
warming story helped revive the
Christmas spirit and Dickens is
often called the father of the

The Puritan leaders in Mas
