Poor Housekeeping
A Cause Of injuries
Rv L. R. HARDAGE
Extension Chairman
Some people when they see a
mess can't wait to tear into it,
never stopping until everything
is spic and span. Others find
cleaning up a major effort and a
real bore.
Poor housekeeping about the
farm, usually is a contributor to
farm injuries and fires. Mislaid
tools, litter, and other things
lying about are major causes of
slips, trips, and falls.
Accumulations of paper,
trash, dry weeds, and the like
fuel many fires.
Having a storage place for
everything and keeping everything
in its place will not only
improve but also make you
more efficient, you can find
things when you need them,
also make the place look better.
Cleaning up for safety is only
half the job. You should also do
some fixing up, such as
inspecting and repairing old
electrical wiring and equipment,
servicing and restoring
fai^g mraehtnery, repairing
broken' slepsT'Ik"8ders and etc.
Neglect can result in accidents
that could have been avoided
with a little effort.
With everything ready for
the new farming season your
chances of having a safer, more
profitable and successful year
are much better.

soon as the land is dry enough
to fix and plant.
If you do a good job with the

money, however, many people
plant gardens and don't really
look after them, in this ease it is
doubtful if any money can be
saved.

Loss Of Hearing
May Be Partially
Prevented By Care
IyOss of hearing in later years
may be partially prevented by a
little carefulness earlier in life.
Though often caused by the
aging process itself, hearing
loss is also caused by a lifetime
exposure to noises.
Loud and continuous noises
such as those from power lawn
mowers, rock music and factory
equipment may often be at a
damaging level.
Noise causes a change in
chemistry of hair or in the
nerve cells of the ear, says
Isabelle Buckley, extension
specialist in aging at North
Carolina State University. This
can be compared to extreme
fatigue in a muscle which
requires time for recuperation.
A stock car driver, for instance,
may not be able to hear for days
after a race.
Ear pIuus should be worn
when using a power mower,
when hunting or whenever
feasible to cut down noise
levels.
Homemakers should consider
noise as a factor when
purchasing home appliances.
As an example, shop for the
vacuum cleaner with the most
suction power rather than the
loudest one, which is often
associated with having the
most power. Often the most
powerful cleaner is quiet.
Hearing loss imposes one of
the most disabling penalties on
older persons—isolation from
the fellow human beings.
Conservation of hearing in
younger years may result in
keener hearing later in life.
Homes Should Be
Aired For Safety
1 Resisting the urge to help
warm your house by leaving
the oven door open could save
you and your family from
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Because of the cold winter,
many people are looking for
additional sources of heat for
their homes. In their rush to
keep warm, they may forget to
have a generous supply of fresh
air in their closed-up rooms.
Carbon monoxide is produced
when fuels burn incompletely,
as do almost all fuels to some
extent. However, when fresh
air is provided and the fuel is
burning properly, there is little
danger of poisoning, say the
extension specialists at North
Carolina State University.
Only when an improperly
adjusted fuel-burning heater is
operated in a closed area can
the gas build up to fatal levels.
If you use a fuel-burning
heater regularly, make sure it
is vented to the outside. If you
must use one that isn't vented,
leave a window open at least
one inch. Turn it off completely
at night.
Be particularly careful in
mobile homes which are smaller
and less likely to have adequate
ventilation than do houses.
