The Consumer Products Safety
Commission has allowed chain saw
manufacturers to develop their own
voluntary standards. According to
the commission, chain saws were
involved in 76,800 injuries in 1976
?lone, of which 29,000 required
hospital emergency room treat
ment. Most of the injuries were
lacerations to the hand, lower leg.
lower arm, and the head area
caused by kickback. At least 30
deaths were attributed to chain saw
accidents in a recent four ? year
period. A chain saw industry trade
association proposed to develop
safety standards rather than have
the commission develop mandatory
standards. This cooperative project
between the Consumer Products
Safety Commission and the Chain
Saw Manufacturers Association
could become a model for other
industries to follow whenever the
commission thinks voluntary
standards are a viable solution to a
safety hazard problem.
WOOD TO BURN
If you haven't done it already,
it's time to get your winter's supply
of fuel for your fireplace or wood -
burning stove. Procrastinate much
longer and you'll probably end up
paying more, because supplies of
seasoned wood will become scarcer
as winter closes in.
Burning seasoned wood is impor
tant for your comfort and con
venience. Green wood can be 50

percent water, which makes it
difficult to burn and saps 20
percent or so of its heating capa
city. When you're shopping for
wood, ask when it was cut. It needs
to have been air ? dried for at least
six months if you plan to burn it
right away. Look for cracks on the
ends of logs as a signal that the
wood is seasoned.
You also have to know what kind
of wood you're buying if you hope
to get the best deal. Pound for
pound, all species give off about the
same amount of heat when burned
but some woods are denser and
heavier than others and firewood is
usually sold by volume rather than
weight. A cord of seasoned oak can
give off about 22,000,000 BTU's of
heat, for example, whereas a cord
of white pine produces only about
13,000,000 BTU's.
Another advantage of hard
woods such as oak, maple, birch,
and ash, is that they'll give you a
long - lasting fire. Pine, cedar, and
other softwoods are easier to ignite
and produce hot flames, but they
burn out quickly, which means
you'll spend more time stok
ing the fire. A mixture of
hardwoods and softwoods is
your best bet because the com
bination can give you an easily
ignited, long - lasting fire. One
problem caused by burning only
softwoods is the buildup of creosote
in the chimney or flue pipe because
of resins in the wood. This creates
the possibility of having a chimney
fire. Add a log from a fruit or nut
tree - cheny, apple, hickory, pecan
- and you'll enjoy a pleasant aroma.

WASHING UP IMPORTANT
AFTER EXERCISE
Back ? to - school means a return
to studying, often coupled with
basketball, cheerleading, parties,
and perhaps, a job after classes.
Daily grooming goes hand ? in -
hand with the action. A cleanliness
routine is always important to help
control odor and maintain healthy
skin, but especially for active
teenagers.
It's a fact that teens are more
prone to excessive perspiration
than other age groups. Perspiration
comes from skin pores at an
average rate of two quarts a day!
Odor occurs when moisture inter
acts with ever - present bacteria on
the body.
To keep bacteria at a minimum,
soap and water washing, via a
shower, bath or sponge bath is
necessary. Lather thoroughly, pay
ing particular attention to areas
where perspiration is heaviest.
Shampoo hair, if necessary, to
remove oil and dirt. Use a deo
dorant after washing for added
protection.
Face washing helps prevent dirt
and oil from clogging pores and
causing blemish problems. Always
massage warm soapsuds gently into
skin with fingertips. Rinse carefully
with warm water and finish with a
splash of cold. Brush teeth; comb
hair and shave, if needed.
Following such a grooming rou
tine regularly, will help you feel
good, look your best and give a
positive impression to others. To
maintain a clean and neat appear
ance. necessary cleanliness tools for
a shower after the big game,
practice or exercise can be stocked
in a school locker for convenient
use afterwards.
Things to keep on hand include,
soap, deodorant, a face cloth,
towels, shampoo, toothbrush and
paste, a razor, nail files, shower
cap and a hair dryer, if desired. Be
sure to have clean underwear and
socks or pantyhose; an extra pair of
clean jeans or pants. A T-shirt or
blouse may come in handy, too. For
repairing emergency rips and tears, A
a mini - sewing kit is a good idea. "
Also wearing thongs in the bath of
shower area helps prevent athlete's
foot. A terry wrap is comfortable
for walking through locker rooms.
A small duffel bag or other
carryall can be used to take soiled
towels, washcloths and clothing
home in exchange for freshly
laundered items. By the way. dirty
duds should not remain in a locker;
soil and stains are easier to remove
if garments are laundered prompt
ly. In addition, a locker should be
cleaned out periodically, to rid if of
paraphernalia that seems to ac
cumulate so readilv.
