The week of July 20 has been
designated as National Farm
Safety Week by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower. The
President urges all farm fami-
lies and farm workers to join
the campaign to prevent need
less accidents in their homes,
on their farms, and along the
highways.
Start the campaign against
accidents with a breakfast of
juice, milk, eggs and bacon,
toast and cereal.
The family who leaves the
table each morning we'll fed and
happy will use better judgment
in everything ii does. A good
breakfast is pretty cheap insur-

You can remove frost depos-
its while the freezer is in oper-
alton by scraping the surfaces.
Special scraping tools are on
the market, or a broad stiff
spatula or putty knife may be
used. Frost may be caught on
papers or cloths as it is scraped
off, or it may be collected from
the bottom of the freezer with a
dust pan and whisk broom.
If deposits of ice have form
ed or if a complete cleaning is
needed, you may have to dis
connect the freezer and remove
all food. Miss Middleton recon-
mends piling the packages as
compactly as possible and wrap
ping them in insulated material
such as newspapers or chilled
blankets to prevent thawing.
Scrape as much frost and ice
off the surfaces as possible.
Cold water, never hot, hastens
melting. An electric fan placed
so it will blow warm air into
the freezer will help in melting
the ice. Remove ice as it loosens
but do not chip it off with an
ice pick or other sharp tool that
might damage the coils.
After defrosting, wash with a
solution of two tablespoons
baking soda in one quart of
water.
When defrosting and cleaning
are completed, connect the
freezer and let it run for about
As minutes before putting the
food back in, advises Miss Mid

Prepare Freezer
For Summer Work

With your freezer rapidly fill
ing up this summer, Miss Pa
tricia A. Middleton, extension
home management specialist at
the University of Delaware,
suggests you see that you are
getting the most out of it.
Defrosting should be done be-
fore there is more than one half
inch of frost on the refrigerated
surfaces of your freezer. Under
ordinary conditions, defrosting
once year is enough. If humid
ity is high or if the freezer is
opened often, it may be neces-
sary to defrost two or more
times during the year, Miss
Middleton says.

The triple-power package

enough power TO blast the
Atlas over the 6.000-mile In

In the previous eight tests
only the boosters were used at

The missile. which carried
a tactical type nose cone,
