lied a corps of tonsorialists
for improvement and study of
artistic barbering in greater
Boston.
On each Wednesday closing
day of union shops, the ton
sorialists gather for a weekly
review of previous get-to-
gethers.
Owner Jackson should be
commended highly for his
far-sightedness in promoting
and inspiring fellow barber
craftsmen to checkup on their
skills as a featured require
ment for use in respective
emporiums where they oper-
ate.
This display of qualified
technique can be used to
great advantage by barber
artisans, who have attended
Owner Jackson's of ff-the-record
discussions on improvement
and mastering all of the in
tricacies of barbering. Each
artisan who attends becomes
enthusiastic and firmly be-
lieyeS in future attainment of
benefits of long duration in
any emporium of the nation
wherever he or she may op-
crate.

New Daler On
Display At TRUTHS

A new baler that measures hay
with almost the same care farm
ers use in measuring feed for their
livestock is now in production and
will soon be available to area
farmers at Lloyd F. Truitt, in Mil
ford, New Holland dealer.
The Hayliner, according to Mr..
Truitt, produces bales with even
slices-just like in loaves of
bread.
The local dealer explained the
new baler's action this way:
AS the hay is picked up in the
field, it's fed into a baling chamber
by six forks. The forks, travelling
in a ferris-wheel motion, take a
bite" each time they come down
on the hay. This moves just enough
hay into the chamber to make one
slice of the bale.
If more hay than is needed for
time, they simply retract before
travelling their usual feeding"
distance. Just how much hay goes
into each slice is decided by the
farmer when he adjusts the forks.
The result of years of planning
and field testing, the new machine
brings to average-size farms great
er baling capacity in the small
baler class. 1t can drop its bales
to the side or rear, or send them
sliding back a chute for direct
wagon loading.
And, by a simple adjustment, Mr..
Truitt says, it can spit out its
bales in lengths anywhere between
one foot and 1/3 feet. The farm
er can choose for himself the
length he likes best to handle.
The dealer says the new baler
treats the hay so gently that most
of the protein-filled leaves so i'm
pcrtant to livestock diet now go
into the bale, they're not lost in
the field. And in legume hay, about
three-fourths of the protein cca-
tent is in the leaves.

Safety Council Notes

Don't walk head-down to eter-
nity!"
This advice was offered to pc
destTians yesterday by George w.
Ayars, a director of the Delaware
Safety Council, which is empha-
sizing pedestrian safety in its ac-
cident prevention work this month.
Mr.. Ayars, who is director of
health. physical education and
driver education for the State De-
partment of Public instruction,
asked pedestrians to consider their
posture.
Walking with shoulders hunch-
ed up and head down is unhealthy
in more ways than one, especially
when you're walking in traffic" he
said. Its one of the surest ways
to walk yourself to death"
Mr.. Ayars pointed out that in or
der to stay safe in traffic a walker
must be aware of what's going on
around him, and he can't do this
if his eyes are focused on the
ground or his face is buried in his
coat collar.
But posture isn't the only thing
Mr.. Ayars is concerned about. An
erect carriage won't dc you much
good, he said, if it carries you into
danger.
I'm constantly amazed by the
traffic antics of some otherwise
intelligent people," he said. "They
cross streets between intersections,
dash out from behind parked cars,
and disregard traffic signs and
signals"
AS long as pedestrians continue
to act in this fashion the pedestri-
an traffic toll will continue to be
unnecessarily high, Mr.. Ayars said.
walkers must learn that stay
ing safe in traffic is a serious mat
ter" he said "It calls for complete
attention to the job. One false
move, one split second Of inatten-
tion can be disastrous. The wise
pedestrian walks as if his life de-
pended on his alertness-and, as q
matter of fact, it does!"
