SAFE PICNICS
Outdoor picnics are among the more
popular summer diversions. Eating
out-of-doors on a pleasant summer
daj seems to make the food taste
better. Moreover, the picnic is one
summer “sport” in wliich the entire

family can participate, regardless of
age or physical endurance.
Anyone would scoff at the idea that
picnics can be unsanitary or down
right dangerous. That’s going to ex
tremes. * But, on the other hand we
I must realize that the intrusion of ants
and insects or a sudden rainstorm
aren’t the only things that might ruin
the fun of picnicking.
The food supply is, of course, the
’ most important part of any picnic.
People who are ill should never pre
oare or serve the food because skin
infections and other illnesses are
easily spread through food. Foods
| which can spoil easly and thus cause
' illness should be kept out of the pic
nic basket.
While on the subject of food, it’s
unwise to “sample” the pretty but un
familiar berries on trees and shrubs
which grow in picnic areas. Most of
. these berries are harmless, but there
are some poisonous ones which can ■
do serious harm to the eaters.
Most people realize that it is dan- 1
gerous to drink from unknown streams
or brooks. But temptation might be 1
strong to “take a chance” if the drinks
I run out during or after a picnic. It
must be remembered that the most •
innocent looking streams can bn con
taminated by deadly germs. Drinking |'
water should be brought from home >
I unless there is a pure water supply
in or around the picnic grounds.
It has often been said that the best -
picnic grounds are always surrounded
by poisonous plants. While this is not 1
literally true, it’s a good idea to watch 1
out for poison ivy, oak or sumac be
fore “setting the table.” 1
Minor wounds—insect bites, cuts 1
from bottle openers, scratches from i
brambles—seem to be a part of many <
picnics. No matter how small the
scrape might be, it is wise to cleanse
the affected area with a mild soap
and apply an antiseptic salv.e or lo
tion, to prevent infection, as soon as
possible.
For all serious “picnic accidents”,
or minor ones which might lead to
complications, the doctor should be
consulted immediately.
Summer picnics are designated for *
fun and relaxation. They always are
(barring insects and rain) when par
ticipants use a little thought in pre
paring the food selecting the spot,
and guarding against accident and in
fection.

Stealing Flowers
Nets Jail Sentence
Recently a story appeared in The
Herald regarding theft of flowers and
ether damage done at the old Smith
Cemetery, which Mrs. Joseph P. Gul
ley of Norfolk wants to transform in
ti: a place of beauty.
For the benefit of the has-been or
would-be marauders who stole flowers
from the Gulley property, the follow
ing was clipped from the Norfolk Led
ger-Dispatch in the July 15 issue:
F LOWER LOVERS SENT TO JA'IiL
“Their love of flowers —other peo
ple’s flowers —today sent two men to
jail for 12 months each.”
“They were Randolph Barrington,
of the 800 block of Fourth Street, and
Roosevelt Jackson, of the Queen’s
City section of Princess Anne County.
Each man was given three months in
jail on each of four charges following
their hearings before Police Justice
Leonard H. Davis today.
“They are charged with stealing
150 azaleas from the nursery of H. F.
McFarlane, 2920 Lens Avenue, and 12
Sold In Edenton By
MITCHENER’S
PHARMACY
1 azaleas from T. F. Dixon, 2129 East
Indian River Road. McFarlane said
his azaleas disappeared 50 at a time
on three different occasions.”
Not only have flowers been stolen
from the Gulley property, but a num
ber of times flowers have been stolen
from graves in Beaver Hill Cemtery.
The above item is, therefore, reprinted
as a warning to those who might be
tempted.
