C., and ask for Farmers' Bulletin 1993, "Decay and Termite Damage in Houses," a new publication which suggests yearly inspections to determine possible decay and; sports season, the National Safety. Council makes some positive rec-| ommendations based 'on research and study into the water safety problem. Swimming is fine ex ercise for those in proper physical condition, but if you are not feel ing well, stay out of the water, es pecially deep water. Also, take it easy at the beginning of the season until you are in good con dition. Wait for a time following meals before entering the water and do not swim if overheated. Take suf ficient time to cool off before go ing in the water even though the temptation may be great. It is advisable to swim only with a good swimmer or lifeguard. Avoid exerting beyond your strength and never dive into strange water where the depth and condi tion of the bottom are unknown. If possible, take a few lessons in life saving?it may prove to be a great advantage some day. Mr. Snipes pointed out that one does not need to be a "landlubber" i with a canoe, rowboat, or outboard motor. Needless tragedies can be avoided by using good judgment. The National Safety Council rec ommends the following safety pre cautions. Never ovedload your boat.'There may be seats for more people than I the boat should carry. Know and heed weather signs and avoid staying out in storms. Always step into the center of a boat?never jump; and never stand up in a moving boat. Never smoke while fueling. Make sure your motor is not too powerful for the boat. In case of capsizing, stay along side the boat and hang on to the side but don't try to climb in. A boat with air tanks will stay afloat indefinitely and will sup port several persons. Relax, be calm, signal for help and wait for it to arrive. \ Ask Your Srocer For 7ke Ofjkelfa** ' f Don't be surprised when soon you find your JFG c fe? in this new, more beautiful Package. STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER (By Ruth Current) State Home Demonstration Agent Entomologists advise DDT pro tection after cleaning clothes clos ets. Apply a DDT spray to walls, woodwork, baseboards and shelves as a protection against clothes moths and carpet beetles for the warm weather season. An oil spray is best for this purpose be cause it does not leave a white deposit.as a water spray does. It should be a residual spray rather than one of the so-called aerosol bombs or space sprays if it is to be effective over the months in killing insects which come in con tact with closet surfaces. Aerosol sprays kill flying insects or those which happen to be exposed at the time but they are without lasting effect because they leave little or no residue. DDT solutions also may be sprayed lightly on wool clothes without injuring the fabric. Too much of the solution may show up in whitish traces on dark clothes but these can be removed by brush ing or dry cleaning. DDT spraying is useful for pro tecting clothes hanging in closets while the more familiar moth flakes or crystals are advised for clothes stored in tight bags, trunks or other containers where a fumi gating effect is desired. Added pro tion may be given to stored clothes by spraying them and their con termite damage to the wood parts of houses. The bulletin was pre pared by forest pathologists and entomologists of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. It .contains many helpful photographs and drawings. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Crisp of East Flat Rock spent la:t weeTs^here visiting relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Joel M.
