ELECTRICAL SAFETF
REQUIRES CAUTION
"Put both hands to work" is a
good rule for saving both time
and labor on household jobs, but
in dealing with electrical equipment
it is safer not to use both
hands for different tasks at the
same time, says Miss Ruth Current,
State home demonstration
agent for the State College. Extension
Service.

electric appliance or when changing
a fuse, avoid touching anything
else, advises Miss Current." If
the applicance happen^ to be worn
or otherwise defective, causing a
short circuit, there is always
danger of a shock. But there is'
less chance of severe shock if one
hand is free or is not touching
anything else.
Electricity, says the State home
agent, seeks the shortest and
easiest route to make its circuit
& to the ground. It should be prevented
from making that circuit'
through the body from one hand to
the other.
Miss Current gives the following
example of a "two-handed haz- 1
ard." One hand is running a
vacuum cleaner and the other
moves a metal lamp out of the

In the bathroom and kitchen,
special care must be taken because
electricity travels through water
When turning on an electric light
with one hand, take care not to
much water or the metal faucet
wi n the other. Be sure hands are
dry when handling any electric
quipment, and make sure that
the floor is dry too. Cement floors
often appear dry when actually
they hold moisture to be shock
hazards. Never touch a radio,
portable electric heater, other
electric appliance, or even turn

i Aviation Cadet Program
To Broaden Schedule
Local men interested in a flying
career now have a wide choice
of starting dates to conform with
their personal convenience when
they begin their training under thej
new schedule set up for Aviation;
Cadets by the United States Air,
Force.
Beginning in April 1949 thei
Aviarltion Cadet system will be
changed from a three-class per
year to an eight-class per yeart
system. This change is designed
to benefit both the USAF and
Aviation Cadet applicants. For
the USAF training program, it will
level off the peak loads of stu-..
dents entering training to a mOfe^
lev?l flow, and the applicant will
be able to adjust his personal af- j
fairs to suit himself before he begins
training.
To facilitate the transfer to the
new schedule, the starting date for
the next class has been moved
from 1 March 1949 to April. There
will be no March class. Beginning
with the April class the established
quota will be 600 for each class
and there will be eight classes per'
year instead of three. Classes,'
thereafter, of Similar size, will i
begin every six weeks.
Aviation Cadet pilot training is
conducted in three successivestages
? Basic (Phase I), Basic i,
(Phase II), and Advanced Basic ,
flying instruction is given at either j i
Randolph AFB, Goodfellow AFB, i
Perrin AFB, or Waco AFB, all in j Texas.
Following basic4 training, j
Aviation Cadets are assigned! 1

Percy B. Ferebee Donate!
$100 For Senior Class Gifi
A donation of $100.00, from Mr
Percy B. Ferebee, president of th
Citizens Bank and Trust companj
of Andrews, gave the senior class
a much-needed lift in securing
the money to purchase the senior
class gift to WCTC.
Mr. Ferebee was approached by
a local friend and an appeal was
made to him for assistance on
the gift. He responded with a
check for $100.00.
The seniors, after considering
a number of projects, decided to
buy an electric scoreboard and
clock for the gymnasium which will
; cost $400.00.
Lawson Brown, president of the
senior class, appointed a number
of team captains to collect money
for the clock through donations by
seniors, other interested students,
and faculty members.
