that shooters are safer In the

now exceed hunting niishaps by
about 80 per cent.

southwest Virginia appar-

State Game and Inland Fish
cries Commission for the first
test Of its new pay-as-you-go
trout program.
Under the proposal, Big
Tumbling Greek would be
stocked with a steady supply
Of rainbow trout. Anglers then
would be charged a dollar per
day to fish the stream from
its headwaters to the north
east corner Of Washington
County.
A law, effective last summer,
permits the commission to set
UP the pay-as-you-fish plan
| In not more than three trout
streams. All money received
must be used for stocking and
improvement Of the stream
that produced the revenue.
Limit Probably Five
Charles Peery, Southwest
Virginia district game biologist
would supervise the project
"As I understand It," he said
fishermen would pay Their
dollar and be allowed to catch
q reduced limit, possibly five
trout In one day. In other
streams, fishing licensees may
take eight trout.
Peery said o census would
be kept on the fish removed

Birth Of an Ideu
According TO Lynn, the
students got the idea to form
a Scottish club. complete with
bagpipes. when they heard
that the new high school
was to be named Aspen Hill.
DR.. Dunn told them, Lynn
said. that the name would
lend itself perfectly to the
club because aspens, which

When the name was
changed to Robert E. Peary,
however. there was some con-
fusion, to say the least, the
members Of the club agreed.

Next. the students wrote to
the Macmillan Clan In Scot
land. inquirng II the clan
would allow the club to wear
the Macmillan tartan. Not
only did the clan give the
club permission, 1t also wrote
back that the Macmillan
Club had been formally
adopted by the clan.
With that good news, the
Is members Of the club set
about establishing themselves
in the Scottish tradition.
Meeting twice q week after
school. they formed q chorus
and a dancing group, and
made some stabs at learning
the pipes. They also sent for
and received the Macmillan
cloth from Scotland which
they made into kits.
1t wasn't until Richard
Blair, q music instructor, ar
rived last September that the
bagpipes began to take form.
Mr.. Blair set UP a class In
ba gpipe instruction, and
pretty soon, the students
were lining UP in the corri-
dor. waiting to get into the
class. He took over the chorus
and the dancing group for
the Macmillan Club as ad-
visor. Now the band is Off

Poison Major
Accident Cause

Accidental poisoning, mostly
In the home, has become one OF
the major causes Of accidents
in America, particularly to
small, children.
And no wonder. "A quarter OF
a million products used In the
home and In industry are po-
tentially hazardous, according to
the American Medical Associa-
tion's first aid card on acci-
dental poisonings.
To help emphasize potential
poison hazards, the ANA has
joined with many other national
organizations to observe Ma
tional Poison Prevention Week
March 1928.
To prevent poisoning:
Keep all drugs, poisonous
substances and household chem
icals. out Of reach Of children.
Do not store non-edible
products on shelves used for
storing food.
Do not transfer poisonous
substances to unlabeled con-
tainerS.
Never reuse containers or
chemical substances.
Do not leave discarded medi-
cines where children or pets
might get at them.
Never tell children you are
giving them candy when you are
actually giving them medicine.
Read labels before using
chemical products.
Never give or take medicines
in the dark.

sorption Of a poison. II possible,

poison will determine the first
aid measures. Save and give to
the hospital or physician the
poison container with its label
land remaining contents.
Do not induce vomiting If the
patient is unconscious or in con-
vulsions; or, II the patient has
swallowed a petroleum product
such as kerosene, gasoline or
lighter fluid; or II the patient
b as swallowed a corrosive
poison that causes severe pain
and burning in the mouth and
throat. Corrosive poisons are
found in toilet bowl cleaners,
rust removers, drain cleaners
and household bleaches. II one
lof these is swallowed give milk
or water, one to two cups for
small children, as much as a
quart for those 5 years and old
Ier.
II the patient has swallowed a
non corrosive poison, such as
an overdose of medicine, give
milk or water and induce vomit-
ing by depressing the back end
of the patients tongue with the
blunt end Of a spoon or your
finger. Or, use an emetic, such
as two tablespoons Of salt In a
glass Of warm water.
Il the poison was inhaled, such
as from an insect spray, fresh
air is important. Give artificial
respiration II breathing has
stopped. II the poison gets on
the skin, cleanse rapidly by
drenching with stream of
water from hose or faucet. II
poison gets into the eye, hold
the lids open and wash with a
gentle stream Of running water.
Delay Of even a few seconds in
washing out the eyes may be
serious.
Most important Of all In cases
OF accidental poisoning is to get
the patient to a physician or a
hospital as quickly as possible.
Almost equally important is to
bring along the container, so
that the physician can identify
the poison and thus know how
to proceed with treatment.
Prevention is much easier
than treatment. Examine your
household today for potential
poison hazards to your family,
particularly to small children.
