Avoid Summer's Boating Hazards
By Heeding Common Safety Bules
? A
Take a good supply of common
sense along if you go boating
this summer.
This warning is issued by the
Institute for Safer Living of the
American Mutual Liability In
surance Company, which predicts
a 1953 minimum of 2,864 drown
ings resulting from boat accidents
by September 1, About 80 per
cent of all drownings are caused
by boating mishaps, the Institute
finds.
A study of numerous boating
accidents shows that most have
one thing in common. One or
more principles of common sense
boating practice had been violat
ed by the person responsible for
the safety of the craft and its
passengers. * ?

SEA FOOD FOR SALE
In. 1951 the total cosh value of North Carolina's
commercial fish haul was over 16% million dollars.
Modern refrigerated trucks and modern roads have
brought prosperity to this industry and its people,
to make their work and living in North Carolina
more pleasant.
Another contributing factor to more pleasant living
for North Carolinians is the brewiryg industry's self
regulation program where brewers, wholesalers and
retailers? in counties where malt beverage sale* ara
permitted under State control ? cooperate to maintain
wholesome t e ditions for the legal sale of beer
and ale.

enjoyed In safety if the follovying
precautions are taken:
If the boat belongs to you,
make sure that it is kept water
tight and in safe condition. Don't
use one that isn't in safe condi
tion.
Know how to handle your boat
safely under all conditions. Be
prepared for the unexpected.
Take along life preservers ?
even in row boats. Do not swim
or dive from boats.
Learn the facts about unfami
liar waters such as depth, ob
structions, current or tide condi-.
tions, and prevailing wind direc
tion. Don't go far from shore in
unsettled weather. Heed all storm
warnings, and remember that
squalls often strike with little
warning.
Have proper respect for motor
boats or larger craft that may be
operating in your vicinity. Learn
the "rules of the road" so that you
will know what is expected of
you in water traffic. Cooperate
to avoid a collision.
Don't stand up in roWboats or
canoes, and don't horseplay.
Don't drink while out in a boat,
especially if you are responsible
for passengers safety.
When fishing, never allow the
excitement of landing a big one
to distract you from safe hand
ling of the boat.
Small craft should not be over
loaded. A good rule is not more
than one person per seat. Keep
the gunwale of a small boat at
least 8 inches above water. Ex
cept in calm water, canoes should
be paddled from a kneeling posi
tion ? not from seat.
Don't get panicky if your boat
should start capsizing in deep
water. Usually it will not sink.
Stay with it and hold on until
help arrives. A capsized canoe
may be overturned and hand
paddled toward safety.
If someone should fall into the
water from a small boat, the oc
cupants should not try to get him
back into the craft. Have him
grasp the stern, and tow him to
safety.
A large share of this season's
drownings have stemmed from
violation of the above safe boat
ing practices. Remember them,
whether you paddle a canoe, row
a boat, or pilot a cabin cruiser.

Reports from North Carolina
growers indicate that 4,200 acres
of green peppers will be harvest

1952.

Skin Care Advised
In Summer Weather
Almost immediately, when you
hear someone talking about "sav
ing your skin" during the sum
mer, you think of sunburn. But
actually sunburn is but one of
the hazards to beware of during
the long summer months.
Vacationers, picnickers, and
stay-at homers, need to .take note,
says Ruth Current, state home
demonstration agent. Poison ivy,
and sumac are currently in sea
son. Just a careless step through
the woods can land you in bed
with a good case of poison ivy.
When you go for a walk, keep
your legs covered and be on the
look-out for these poisonous
plants. It's a pretty good idea,
too, to take a hot shower with
plenty of soap after you come in
from one of these wood excur
sions. Such preventative mea
sures can save you a good deal
of agony later.
Insects are anot'.^r skin bug
gaboo. If you plan a picnic, "be
sure to take along a reliable re
pellent to ward off these "man
eating" intruders.
And sunburn, of course, takes
heavy tolls every summer, says '
Miss Current. If you're a first
timer at the beach, lake, or even
in your own back yard, take it
easy. Remember that the burn
rarely shows up until after you've
gone in to cool off. And remem
ber too, that the sun's rays can be
very penetrating even on the
cloudiest days. Once you've been
well-burned, there is very little
you can do to bring relief. The
best treatment for sunburn is to
prevent it!

Are .you getting tired of run l
ning the cultivator. and wielding!
the hoe in your garden in a los I
inn battle with weeds and grass?
Why not use a mulch? It is sur
prising how few gardeners make
use of mulches as an aid in the
conservation of moisture, and the
control of weeds. A mulch may
be any material such as hay.
straw, strawy manure, leaves,
leaf mold, peat, sawdust, pine
straw, or paper which can be put
down on the ground around the
plants for the purpose of con
serving moisture during the hot,
dry summer weather. At the same
time it will keep down most of
the weeds. I recently read of one
gardener who collected all the
cardboard boxes he could get at
the store, flattened them out, and
put them on the ground around
his plants as a mulch ? rind the
results were excellent.
Many vegetables, flowers,
small fruits and snrubs are good
subjects for mulching. Tomatoes,
peppers, eggplants and cucum
bers may be mulched with straw,
leaves' or paper. Azaleas, camel- I
lias and blueberries wnich desire
an acid soil may bo mulched with
sawdust, leaf mold or peat. Red
raspberries. ,d e w b or ties and
grapes may bo mulched with
*
str.tw or strawy manure. ?
in ail rases the. mulch should !
hi* applied after the soil has been I
well moistened by rain or irriga- j
lion. If fertiliser is necessary it -
also should be applied before the j
hmlch is laid down.

dens a mulch \vitl help solve many j
