Sand Paint
Slick Steps
By DOUGLAS TUoMEY
Contributing Writer

According to the insurance
companies reports and other
sources of household acci-
dents, the slippery condition
of the steps leading into a
house is responsible for many
a broken leg, hip, arm and
ankle.
In most cases these acci-
dents happen on wood steps
and not on brick. Brick is
rough and it takes quite a
buildup of ice or SluSh to
make them slippery. On the
other hand. a well-painted
wood step is a bad piece of
footing during freezing and
icy spells of weather.
Eosy Solution
No less an authority than
the National Paint, Varnish
and Lacquer Association has
come up with a very SenSi-
BILE and economical solution
for the condition. and 1t
makes most excellent sense.
The procedure is as follows:
The next time you paint
your front or kitchen door,
steps have a pail Of good.
clean. white sand on hand.
AS soon as you have fin
ished spreading the paint.
put some sand in q small
can or cardboard box which
has a small hole in it, and
sprinkle the sand uniformly
over the fresh paint. The
granules will sink into the
paint by themselves and as
the paint hardens they will
be we'll embedded.
Good TFoetion
A second coat after the
first has thoroughly set will
produce a good buildup Of
nonslippery surfacing. Under
ordinary use and wear. this
type OF safety tread should
last through two or three
seasons. and it does not
change the color Of the paint
in any respect.
Another suggestion has
been made which provides
for mixing the sand in the
paint before it is used.

There was dancing and drink

was that the top brass es-

Thruston B. Morton.
The 900 or so energetic Repub-

time dancing till midnight to a
jazzy, 15-piece orchestra. But it
wasn't what you'd call a gala.
AS Chairman Lyman Brown

It was the first time a transition
ball was held and people
wouldn't take it seriously" Es-
pecially, it seemed, in the midst of

"~oVEREATING DISEASE"

When lambs are brought into
our valley each fan for the winter
feeding season, enterotoxemia or
more commonly called ''overeating
disease" is always a hazard. This
disease has a habit of striking
down the latest, best fed and
greediest lambs in the bunch.
Warning signs of the onset may
include nervousness, pushing
against objects, staggering, circ-
ling, and either excitement or de-
preston. Due TO the seriousness of
the disease, local veterinarians
have generally recommended, and
progressive lamb feeders have
made il a practice, to vaccinate
each lamb for enterotoxemia. 1t
is a tendency, however, for some
feeders 70 become careless and not

?. Check the condition of heat
ing equipment including chimneys
and tlueS. Make all repairs nee

3. Check electric wiring for
wear and loads - replace worn
and inadequate wiring; use only
l5-ampere fuses unless a circuit
has been especially designed for
larger loads.
4. Your fire fighting tools should
be easily accessible in an emer-

for escape and fighting roof fires.
5. Have the right eN,inguiSherS

SOIL AND WATER
RESEARCH CENTER

The announcement that Sidney
would be the site for a Northern
Great Plains Soil and Water Re
search center came as a welcome
surprise 10 us all. This type of re-
search center has been discussed
for several years and according
TO word from Senator Metcalf, the
severe drought situation in the
Northern Great PLANS has speed
I'd approval OF the project.
10 IS Our sincere feeling that
findings by this new center will
greatly aid in St~ahilizing farming
and ranching over the Northern
Great Plains. Throughout the
years this area has a history OF
either feast or famine. The state
ment that concentrated research
will greatly aid in improving the
stability OF the farm economy is
based on what little research that
has already been done in the field
Of soil and water conservation.
Most farmers and rancherS who
went through the dry ThirtieS will
testify that present dryland farm
ing methods. which have resulted
largely from Experiment Station
research. have been Of utmost help
IN cuShioning the present drought
period Most people, however, will
also agree that much more needs
20 be known about conserving our
soil and water resources. Such a
center as we will have here at
Sidney viii be equipped to ex-
plore into many of the unknownS
and viii bring us new knowledge
and methods.
We would also like 10 feel that
the new center is the result OF the
research that has been conducted
in the past by our own Montana
Agricultural Experiment Station
system. This past effort has help
cd TO develop local enthusiasm and
support for further basic research
which is so badly needed in our
Northern Great Plains area.
