Upward Trend In
SM Bus Wrecks
Parents Urged to Warn
w Children of Open
Road Danger
An upward trend in school bus ac
cidents has officials ,of (the State 1
. Highway Safety {Division, worried.
Since the first of the year, they
said, three children have been killed in
accidents involving school buses.
In a majority of cases the young
sters themselves were morally at fault
the safety experts pointed out. Most
of the totalities oceuring recently have
been traced to children stepping from
in front of the bus into the roadway.
State law, of course, requires that
traffic from both directions stop
when approaching a standing school
bus. However, the law is violated
occasionally and when it is the child
becomes a target.
The Safety Division is appealing to
parents of school age young people
for help. They especially want to
emphasize that the school bus does
not provide 100 per cent protection as
many children and parents think.
Safety equipment is adequate, the di
vision feels. Every bus is painted
brilliant orange, it carries stop lights
at the front and rear and is equip
ped with a stop sign showing both
ways when the vehicle is halted.
.4 "Parents must continually impress
on their youngsters the dangers of
the open road,” the safety men said. i
i “Teach them to look carefully before
crossing the highway.”
Electric Safety Hints
Given By Overman
Late winter is a good time to check ,
your home wiring and appliances for
safety before the rush of spring work
begins, says C. W. Overman, county
farm agent for the State College Ex
tension Service.
He points out that it’s easy to dis
cover and repair wiring defects that •
may lead to a costly fire, shock, or i
interruption in electrical service.
Records of the National Safety
Council show that worn or damaged ■
cords are common ailments of elec
trical appliances.
Before attempting electric repairs, <
always disconnect the current. When .
purchasing replacement cords or plugs,
choose good quality and the right
type for the use intended. Avoid plas
tic caps that break easily or those
which cannot be grasped firmly to
pull from a receptacle.
p(. Use cords with asbestos insulation;
: for heating appliances and heavy 1
rubber-jacketed cords for motor-op- ,
orated equipment. Avoid unnecessary
kinking, twisting, knotting or expos- ,
ure to heat and mechanical injury.
/ Watch your circuit loads and fus- ,
ing. An ordinary household circuit
with a No. 14 wire should be protected ,
by a 16-ampere fuse. Ts you use a ,
penny or heavier fuse the conductors
will overheat and damage insulation .
or start a fire if the circuit is acci- ■
dentally overloaded. .]
The metal frame of washing ma- ,
chines or other electric appliances ,
used in. hazardous locations( where
floor, feet and hands may be damp) •
should be grounded. Worn parts, in
sulation deterioration or excessive ;
moisture may lead to a short circuit ,
and a dangerous shock. For a sim
ple ground, clamp one end of a con
ductor to the leg bolt of washer or
other bare metal parts and the other
end to a water pipe or similar
grounds.
'Hie desire to be beloved is ever
restless and unsatisled; but the love
that flows out upon others is a per
petual well-spring from on high.
—IL. M. Child.

National 4-H Club Wuuk, March 1-9
' V | JT; M . ;V. /
AHNOUHCIHG THE HEW 4H HISTORY
mmm
Democracy has a growing bulwark—
a bulwark that stretches across our
great country and into Alaska, Hawaii,
and Puerto Rico.
That bulwark is 4-H Club work
where boys and girls learn the great
privileges and responsibilities of de
mocracy; individual initiative; active
citizenship; respect for others’ ac
complishments; group cooperation;
healthy competition; love of farm,
home, and community; interchange
of ideas from club to club across
state lines.
The story of the development of
such ,a great bulwark is faithfully
presented in the tint history of 4-H
Club Work, “The 4-H Story,” just
published by the National Committee 1
on Boys and Girls Club Work, 69 East
Van Buren Street, Chicago 5, Illinois.
An exciting panorama is set in
motion by the inspirational words in
“The 4-H Story,” words that came
after Author Franklin M. Reek’s
many months of careful research, in
terviews with pioneers in the move
ment, data checking with the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and State
4-H Leaders, and the reading of all
available records.
j “The 4-H Story,” which the author
says “is too great a movement to be
claimed by any one man,” unfolds
through the early 1900’s when the
country was ready, youth was ready,
the time was right for a great upsurge
of rural power. Simultaneously, in
various parts of the country, com
clubs and canning clubs appeared, as
county superintendents of schools
sought to make education a more
vital factor in the everyday living of
the boys and girls. Then the col
leges found away to let their new dis
coveries be known through youth—
eager, inspired, energetic youth, who
planted the experimental com, who
used the new ideas, who came to
gether in groups for discussions of
better methods and for comparing re
sults. In 1911 the four-leaf clover
with H’s signifying head, heart, hands,
and health appeared, and by 1918 the

term “4-H Clubs” was being generally
used.
With the passage of the Smith-
Lever Act in 1914, the Cooperative
Extension Service was established, and
a national program was on the way.
In 1919 a group of public-spirited citi
zens foresaw a role for industry in
building a stronger 4-H, in strengthen
ing our youth, in participating in the
development of rural areas to which
industry owed so much. From these
beginnings came the National Cotffi
mittee on Boys and Girls Club Work,
National Awards programs, National
4-H Club Congress, and other ser
vices to 4-H Club Work. In 1927,
National 4-H Camp came into being
•to honor 4-H boys and girls with
outstanding abilities in leadership and
citizenship. At this first National
