The WHISPERING PINES Dining Room in CASHIERS serves DELICIOUS FRIED CHICKEN, STEAKS Refreshments Avoid Sun Stroke And Heat Exhaustion With the approach of high tem peratures and the rush of the .larvesting season it is easy to be ?vercome by heat illness, says H. .\1. Ellis, in charge of Extension Agricultural Engineering at State College. | When heat illness strikes it can . be serious, sometimes fatal, Mr.j Ellis said. Be on the guard against heat sickness and take the neces sary precautions this summer to avoid over-exposure to the sun or prolonged physical exertion in ex treme heat. Heat exhaustion and sun stroke are two entirely different things, even though both may seem to re sult from exposure to high extern al heat. With heat exhaustion, the patient's skin is cold and clammy ?while with sun stroke, the skin is not and dry. A simple rule may serve as a guide and avoid con fusion regarding the treatment. Briefly, it is this: If the patient is ccld, make him warm; if he is hot, Our store is headquarters for working clothes.

JOHNSTON FARMERS 1 PRAISE WEED KILLER Use of 2,4-D chemical weed kill er has proved to be both practical and profitable for two Johnston! County farmers, reports John E | P.lnnd, county agent for the State College Extension Service. They are J. L. Matthews, Route 1, Clayton, and L. A. Martin, Route' 1, Princeton. When heavy rains prevented the growers from doing the usual amount of plowing in late MayJ their corn fields soon became cov-t ered with cockleburs and other! broad-leaved weeds. In some places the weeds were so high that' no corn could be seen. Facing the prospect of having to turn out their corn or else plow if up. the farmers decided to treat their fields with the new chemical.. They used the recommended amounts of 2,4-D, and followed approved practices. As a result.1 they obtained perfect control of all broad-leaved wee^s. Mr. Martin has about 10 acres of corn which he was able to save! in this way. Mr. Matthews, who] las 18 acres, said he used only make him cool. You can protect yourself against heat sickness by following these National Safety Council recom mendations: Avoid overexei xion, particularly in the early part of the heat wave. Avoid too much exposure to direct sun rays, or extreme indoor tem peratures and high humidity? wear a hat while out of vloors. Wear light, porous clothing and avoid tight fitting clothes. Increase the use of salt on food, or use salt tablets or salt in drink ing water to offset the excessivej loss of salt from the body through I perspiration. Drink water o'ten throughout' the day, one glass at a time. 1 Eat nutritious food but avoid overeating?vitamin C lost through perspiration should be replaced with fruit juices. Get plenty of sleep' arid bathe regularly. Avoid ice cold water and alcohol. PERSONALS { Bobby Hall left last week for.
