Treatment Listed
For Heat Illness
High temperatures and the rush
of summer work make it easy tc
he overcome by any of several
forms of heat illness, County far
mers were warned this week by
the State College Extension Ser
vice.
It was explained that sunstroke
fellows prolonged exposure to the
sun, whereas heatstroke is caused
by excessive heat with or without
exposure to the sun. The effects
are the same and either may he
fatal.
Symptoms are hot and dry skin,
face red and flushed, breathing
hard and loud, pupils enlarged,
and, in rmo cases, unconscious
ness.
Prevention is the best cure but
everyone sho'uld know what to do
in ease heat illness does strike.
Here is what the National Safety
Council suggests for sunstroke or
heatstroke:
1. Move patient to a eooi, shady
place, strip to the underclothes,
lay on back with head and shoul
ders raised.
2. Apply ice or cold wet cloths
to head, cool the body gradually

with a cool bath or with a hose or
wet clothes and rub limbs toward
the heart.
3. After treating for several
minutes, stop and observe patient.
If skin becomes hot again, resume
treatment.
4. If patient is conscious, give
cool drinks, not ice rold. Do not
give stimulants.
5. Get patient to a doctor or a
hospital as soon as possible. Con
tinue the treatment in the ambu
lance
In cases of heat exhaustion, the
patient’s skin is cold and clammy.
A simple rule may serve as a
guide and prevent confusion as to
treatment: If the patient is cold,
make hi warm; if he's hot, make
him cool.

Interest In Geese

While commercial production of
geese is not practiced to any great
extent at present, many North

Dearstyne says his department
in recent weeks has received cor
respondence concerning geese
from all sections of the State. This
awakening interest, he adds, may
lead to a new infant industry in
North Carolina.
Geese usually are raised in
small numbers on general farmsJ

The birds commonly are known

the rows in cotton patches. The j
diet may be supplemented with
home-grown grains or wet mash. [

are provided in boxes or barrels
