One of the life-saving techniques
to Mouth Rescue Breathing. Listed
that every adult can learn is Mouth
below are the exact procedures
you should use:
1. Wipe Out Victim's Mouth
Quickly. Turn his head to the side.
Use your fingers to get rid of mu
cus, food, sand, and other matter.
2. Srtainghten Victim's Head and
Tilt Back So That Chin Points Up.
Push Or Pull His Jaw Up Into Pos
ition to keep his tonque from block
ing air passage. This position is es
esential for keeping the air passage
open throughout the procedure.

3. Place Your Mouth Tightly Over
Victim's Mouth and pinch nostrils
closed to prevent air leakage. For a
child, cover both nose and mouth
tightly with your mouth. (Breathing
through handkerchief or cloth over
victim's mouth or nose will not
greatly affect the exchange of air.)
4. Breathe Into Victim's Mouth or
Nose until you see his chest rise.
(Air may be blown through victint'j
teeth, even though they may be
clenched.)
5. Remove Your Mouth And lis
ten tor the sound of returning air.
If there is no exchange, recheck
jaw and head position. If you still
do not get air exchange, turn vic
tim on side and slap him on back
between soulder blades to dislodge
matter that may be in throat. A
gain, wipe his mouth to remove
foreign matter.
0. Repeat Breathing, renpvtag
mouth each time to allow escape of
air. For an adult, breathe about 12
times per minute. For a child, take
relatively shollow breaths, about 20
per minute Continue until victim
breathes for himself.

Garden Time
This is a story about water, froat
and strawberry plants. It involves
me and two young Raleigh busi
nessmen, one in insurance and the
other in investments. The one in in
surance owns a farm and furnished
the land, the one in investment had
the urge and was in general charge
of the project. I furnished the
"know-how."
All recommended practices were
carried out. Virus free well-rooted
plants of Earlidawn, Shurecrop and
Albritton were carefully set on rai
sed beds in the spring of 1962. The
land was fumigated to control ne
matodes and kill weeds. Spring set
ting meant the removal of blossoms
because the plants were not old en
ough to bear fruit the first year
after spring setting. 'We had hop
ed to plant the previous fall but
had weather prevented this.
We decided to use the hill system
of training which meant the re
moval of runners. This required- a
once-over job of removing runners
every week during the summer.
This was quite a job on one-quarter
acre of plants but it was accompli
shed with a few hours work each
Saturday morning.
The plants grew beautifully be
cause we had given them good care
and satisfied the fertilizer require
ments by first having a soil test
made to guide us. Malathoion and
Captan were used as dusts to con
trol insects and leaf spot diseases.
The plants wintered well and be
gan spring growth in due time. In
fact., we had just about best look
ing plants you ever saw in the spr
ing of 1963. Then the roof caved in.
First a light frost killed some of
of the early blossoms. This it us
ually the case and was of no parti
cular concern. Then we had days
en end ef high .intensity, high woods
and low humidity- even down toftt
percent, the lowest on record, in
these parts. Water would hive
saved us here. A pond had been
built but no funds were available
for an irrigation system to bring it
into use.
Rnf this is not thp end of our
trails and tribulations. A freeze
came. The temperature fell to a
bout 28 degrees, which froze ber
ries as large as the end of your
little finger. From an indicated
crop of about 3,000-4,000 quarts we
actually harvested about 300 quarts.
This was the worst spring on re
cord in Raleigh and the late freeze
was unusual. If we could have es
caped this we would have done
very well.
If irrigation had been available
we could have prevented that first
frost damage and lessened the ef
fect of the freeze. We could have
also prevented the wilting of plants
by reducing the transpiration rate
during the dry hot days.
We usually think of water, tem
perature, light and nutrients as be
ing the limiting factors in plant
growth. It is very obvious the part
that water and temperature played
in this particular project.
The moral of this story is: be pre
with the water necessary to keep
pared to supply your growth plants
them vigorous and healthy.
Now that plants are green and
growing it is a good time to take a
pencil and paper and check over
your entire landscape. It is rare
that some mistakes are not made
in planning and planting. I will
mention a few and I am sure that
you can think of others that may
need attention during the summer,
fall or winter.
Are walks and drives property
placed to serve the family needs?
4 > i - * ?
Is the garage large enough to ac
comodate the new "cat" and alao
area for the children located so it
provide room for lawn mower, bic
ycles and garden tools? Is the play
can be observed from the work
areas the house? Do down spouts
empty o n awalk, driveway, path
or terrace?
Are trees creating a problem?
They may have seemed approxi
mately placed when planted but
no wafter about 10 to 15 years may
be giving trouble. This is particu
larly true if planted too close to
where constant cutting back may
the house or under power lines
ruin their fcharacter and attractive
ness. ' ' ? '
Are large growing shrubs scree
ing outside views form windows? If
so, frequent and sometimes drastic
pruning may spoil their beauty.
Perhaps they should be replaoed.
Do not expect much from your ve
getable garden if the plants are
competing with large trees. Most
vegetables^ require full sun and will
not produce well if shaded and
competing- with large trees. Most
vegetables require full sun and
will not produce well if shaded and
competing with tree roots for mois
ture and nutrients.
If you are having trouble with
grass roots invading your flower
bed or border you can stop this by
erecting a barrier of old brick, 4x8x
18 cinder or concrete blocks or alu
minum sheets purchased from your
garden center. An attractive fen
ce and/or a hedge may be needed
for privacy or for screening out un
sightly objects.
Outdoor living is a popular acti
vity and can be included in the
home grounds at very little added
expense. A shade area, picnic table
and some lawn chairs are the es
sentials. It can always be used
when friend* drop in unexpected
ly. A fireplace or portable char
coal grill may be used for cooking.
The portable grill Is very popular
and easily moved about and stored.
You are reminded to keep your
plants protected at all timeiagataal |
pests. Be careful and foliar instnP
ctions when applying pesticides la ;;
either dust or liquid form. ,

* IF YOU KNEW WHAT
THIS "CAR KILLER" KNOWS...YOU'D BE DRIVING A SOLID, SILENT SUPER TORQUE FORD
This steel-edged pothole is probably the world's toughest test
of a car's suspension. We drive into this car killer at 30 mph,
locking our brakes as we go so the wheels can't roll through
the hole as they normally would. The car slams against the far
edge of the'hole with such impact that it literally bounds out.
If you added up the cumulative effect of all the jars and jolts
your car's suspension system experiences in years of normal
driving, it wouldn't match tlie impact of one trip through the hole.
Yet?a Ford must run this lest three times to prove its strength.
How can a Ford take it? Because Ford's front suspension has
extra beef in spindles, springs, suspension arms?in fact, it's
about 20 pounds heavier than the front suspension of our
principal competitor's car.
We don't expect you to abuse your car the way we do our test
cars. But, however you drive, you'll welcome the extra strength
of a total performance Ford. Ford strength is tested in a thousand
ways in Ford's laboratories and proving grounds?and in open
competition in the world's toughest rallies and stock car events.
Look at Ford's astounding record in open competition this
year in the grueling Daytona, Riverside, and Atlanta 500's, the
World 600 at Charlotte, N.C., and in the demanding Pure Oil
Performance Trials. Only a car with total performance?the be6t
combination of strength, balance,- precision control and road
clinging suspension?could roll up so many wins.
Before you buy any new car, test-drive the solid, silent Super
Torque Ford. If you haven't driven one lately, you can't really
know what a new Ford is like. Make this important discovery: if ?
ifs built by Ford, ifs built for performance...total performance.
