safety is taught to children. Over
head blinker signals, true-to-life
reflective signs, traffic control
lanes and airmen-policemen add
realism to the village. The signs
help teach the importance of safe
ty after dark as well as in day
time.
Called Safetyville, U.S.A., the
miniature town, logically, is pop
ular attraction for children of the
area.
Safetyville programs, conducted
every Saturday afternoon, include
bicycle and automobile safety, Pc
destrian safety, family automobile
safety and safety in play. A motion
picture made for the children fea-
lures lead character, Dopey, by
name, who insists on doing every
thing wrong. His heroic counter
part is Safety Sam, an airman
dressed as a clown, who rides the
streets of Safetyville in a battery
powered car. A string of children
in pedal cars follow close behind
Sam, and when he signals for a
turn, the youngsters copy his lead.
No wonder the children love Safe
tyville. What youngster could re-
sist the appeal of a child-size vii
lage, free movie and a clown to
lead all proceedings?
You may ask if the town teaches
any lasting lessons. Or does il Just
KEEP children from underfoot Sat-
urday afternoons?
Some indication of the effects of
the program can be measured by
the report from a father rebuked
by six-year-old boy when he
started TO leave the car on the
street side. Hey, Dad you're get
ting out on Dopey's side" said the
youngster.
There's also the story about the
wiz dSrCd IlCI
mother to stop because her door of
the car wasn't locked. And an IL
year-old boy who had been attend
ing Safetyville classes insisted that
his father check his bike for safe
working order.
Perhaps the most significant
measure of the Safetyville pro-
gram is in the greater care taken
by children at school crossings and
pedestrian croSswalks. The actions
of Safety Sam have replaced
careless impetuousness. The 14th
Fighter Group has done something
significant-made safety education
both entertaining and effective.
Everybody agrees that there is a
vital need for safety education,
and the 14th Fighter Group has
shown how it can be made fun for
all concerned.

but in dry periods the surface
moisture may be exhausted. 1t is
an advantage to get the roots
deeper into the ground.
Frequently the subsoil is tight,
infertile and acid. If we open up
such a soil with a chisel or deep
plow, fertilize and apply lime it is
possible for the roots to penetrate
deeper This will result in getting
them to the water supply that is
stored deep in the ground
This opening up of the subsoil
also has the advantage of allowing
excess water to get into the ground
quickly and penetrate to depth
where it no longer fills up the por-
es that should be open for air to
enter and to be available for the
plant roots. In this way subsoil
fertilization can serve both to in
sure moisture reserves in dry sea-
sons and to help drain the soil in
wet seasons.
Many soils are fertile to a con-
siderable depth and have never
been compacted to any degree. 1t
is not likely that subsoil fertiliza-
tion can help them much. Howev-
er, most of our soils, while fairly
fertile in the plow layer are acid
and infertile farther down and
frequently oompacted. These are
the soils that promise to respond
best to subsoil fertilization.
1t is believed that, generally
speaking, subsoiling should be at
least IA inches deep and might go
as deep as "a inches. 1t should be
done. when the subsoil is dry so
that the chisel will shatter the
ground. Subsoiling in the spring
hurts the ground because it smears
together.
Fertilizer should be applied thr-
ough a spout Immediately behind

Germ Filled Air
Is Blamed With
Causing Much TB

BALTIMORE - Up - New
evidence has been uncovered that
germ-laden air, rather than per-
sonal contact, is the No. l source
of pulmonary tuberculosis.
A six-member research team,
reporting its findings to meeting
of the Hopkins Society of Hygiene,
also said that ultraviolet light is
an effective control against
spreading the disease--by sweep
ing the air clean of germs.
The researchers were headed by

They used rabbits in their ex-
periments, subjecting them to air

Subsoil WORKINGS
May improve The
Overall Yields

Higher crop yields result from
improved soils Recent research in
dicates that we can greatly i'm
prove yields from many soils thr-
ough fertilizing and lining the
subsoil.
Plant roots need water, nutrients
and air to properly perform their
life functions. To produce large
crop yields the roots of plants
must have plenty of each. If we
supply fertilizer to the surface
soil, there will be plenty air and
nutrients available for these roots,
