Hint To Save Lives It might be a good idea for par ents, with small children, to be sure that window screens are firmly held in place and that the screen itself is strong. The warning is appropriate in view of a news story telling of a three year-old boy who recently fell from a window, twenty feet above a concrete areaway. Luckily, the little fellow escaped serious injury, receiving only a fractured collar-bone. This luck will not hold for all the children who happen to fall out of windows when they lean against win dow screens. flirt. In short, the Russian leaders may follow the strategy of Adolf Hit ler and risk a war in order to test the firmness of the Western powers. It should be pointed out that the United States is taking the lead in the opposition to Russia, with the Labor Government of Great Britain firmly standing by our side. The British air lift into Berlin demonstrates this be yond doubt The French, however, are not as firmly fixed in their posi tion but have, so far, gone along with the English-speaking nations. It should be understood in this country that if war comes to Europe, the brunt of the suffering will fall up on the nations of Western Europe. It is questionable whether the Russian drive could be stopped before it runs over most of the territory of Europe. Whether the British Isles would be invaded is problematical but the suf fering and devastation that would fol low a Russian invasion of the West would be terrific. Growth Of Television Is Really Amazing To Make Life Better It is important for us to understand the values of urban life and to ap preciate the advantages that it brings to human beings. We must, of course, accept the responsibilities associated with its existence. Here in Hertford we have hund reds of families living together to en joy the benefits which none could pos sess living alone. If we are to se cure the maximum results from our urban civilization, we should under stand the possibilities of urban civili zation and make a concerted intelli gent 'effort to capitalize upon them as far as possible. Hertford, of course, like every other municipality, has its selfish citizens who are here solely to get something for themselves, without having the vision to comprehend the greater benefits which would be theirs if they cooperated with other citizens for mu tual profit. We do not denounce sel fish individuals because we recognize that they are the product of ignor ance and the result of their inability to think clearly. We have also in our midst many individuals who are considered public spirited and generous. Some of them are intelligent and some of them are as ignorant as the selfish group. It is not enough for a man or woman to be carelessly generous or haphazardly public-spirited. tTrban life, to reach its full fruition, must be the result of intelligent planning, well directed en ergy and steady, persistent activity. The progress of this community is not to be measured by the exceptional individual, whether they be at the top or the bottom of the social scale. Our progress depends upon the average life of those who live in Hertford, whatever that average existence might be. It is built upon the general level of intelligence, health, prosper ity and the development of all peo ples who live in our midst. It is essential, in connection with planning of the progress of Hertford that all of us understand that its pro gress must be based upon mass im provement, rather than upon indivi dual achievement A few brilliant in dividuals, leading the parade, are very important but more valuable is the personnel of the rank and file of marchers and extremely dangerous are the scattered spectators who, for one reason or another, do not partake of the social movement although they stand ready to swoop and secure the gains. Slow Gains At Moscow A newspaper dispatch from London says it would be hard to find anybody who believes that the four powers will gain anything but time through the consultations going on in Mos cow. The dispatch adds. 'that for those who feel this way "one side or the other must give way if war is to be avoided. This is a capsule summary of the international situation created by the unilateral action of Soviet Russia in Europe. It does not follow, however, that war is inevitable because the pos sibility exists that one side or the other may modify its position. The danger, as we see it, lies in the unbalanced military situation on the Continent, where the Red Army of f -n.t - - i t iti ouviei imssia jjuBSBBBeH wnat inignt be termed overwhelming strength. There is no counter-balancing force and the Russians, in addition to their own armies, have control of the mili tary resources of the satellite states. It is a dangerous situation because the leaders of Russia, conscious of their strength and their immediate power in Europe, may become confus ed and conclude that the Red Army can be used without danger of a con- Washington Though television is. still an expensive entertainment me dium for the producer,- and though it is still some time away in small towns, its growth here is amazing. As smaller cities (those of about 100,000 population) get television sta tions, listeners within 60 miles will benefit. Farmers within a 26-mile radius would have excellent chances of good reception. Those further away would experience various re sults. Here in Washington, some of the city's residents can tune in Baltimore with comparative ease, and others can't get either of two Baltimore sta tions. Television workmen say it all depends on the physical obstacles between your aerial and the station transmitter. In other words, if a large building stands just across the street from your receiver in the di rect path of the station transmitter you are in for trouble. Baltimore is between 40 and 60 miles from Wash ington. To give the newspaper reader some idea of the speed with which televi sion is growing, the statistics on sets sold will suffice. On January 1 less than 200,000 television sets were in the hands of private and commercial owners. Today the 400,000 mark has been exceeded and . the half million figure will fall soon. By early in 1949, the million mark is expected to 'be passed. Stations are also multiplying rap idly. At the first of the year, 17 sta tions were operating all in the east. Today 31 stations are in operation. A mid-West television network is ex pected to hook up with New York by October. The east and west coasts are scheduled to be joined by Christ mas. In other words, the Rose Bowl game may be televised next Janu ary 1st. One of the great milestones for televisron was its coverage of the re cent political conventions. Already proven in sports, television coverage of the political conventions put the new medium over in the news report ing field. Here in Washington, where television is at its best because of Congress, Congressional hearings and other government functions, the sale of television sets is rapidly increas ing. Already tried and true in sports and news reporting, television is just beginning to prove itself in the field of plays, movies, radio-tvoe shows. etc. Hollywood studios are now work ing on movies especially for television and English-made films have been made available to television stations. For months now, the refusal of Holly wood studios to lease first-run movies for television shows has crippled the movie side of television. But the tele vision industry is getting around this with foreign-made especially-produced turns. Fred Allen recently made television history when his radio show became the first to be regularly televised. Plays are televised two or three times a week in various cities and are re produced on television screens in number of eastern cities all on one chain hook-up. Television may be along time off in the country's small towns, but it's not as far distant as some people tnmK. wnen the million mark in sets sold is passed and when national net works are in operation, the expense or running a small station will de crease since elaborate shows can be piped to smaller stations along the network: line. And since the field of science is ever-improving, television can be ex. pected to improve as ranidlv as radio did two decades ago, with new dis coveries In this new field. county agent said. . The Safety Council, Mr. Yagel continued, cautions farmers never to gamble with a: home-made electric fence controller. Precision equip ment is required to regulate electric current within safe limits. The or dinary lighting current must be re duced to a small fraction of an ampere and interrupted at short intervals. No fence should be energized from any electric, source except through a controller approved by a recognized testing agency. In addition to the use of an ap proved controller, the Extension Agent said, the following precautions should be observed:" 1. See that the equipment is in stalled correctly with good ground and lighting protection. 2. Instruct everyone around the farm how to disconnect the controller in case of emergency. . 3. Do not depend upon en electric fence to restrain bulls, boars or other vicious animals. 4. Teach children not to tamper or play with an electric fence. 6. 'Provide insulated gate grips for opening and closing gates. 6. If anyone in the community is using an improvised or unsafe elec tric fence installation, try to have it removed and warn others of the danger. monkey malaria.' ; This being'true, we know that naas the-sairie effect in the husaan, and helps to remove this danger, aa well as cure the disease. .

Yagel, county . agent for the State College Extension Service, today urg ed farmers to exercise extreme eare in the selection and use of electric fences.

It is an amazing new discovery, and opens up a vast field in the realm of medicine. We know that one of the main functions of the circulating blood is the supplying of oxygen to the count less tiny cells that make up the tissues of the body. Thousands of years, ago, the great est lawgiver and leader of all time, Moses, the Hebrew, proclaimed that the "blood is the life." This is liter ally true. Now we are receiving new proof of this, through 'the use of larger and better microscopes. Many diseases produce sticky sub stances in the blood, which coat the red cells, causing them to adhere to gether in clumps called sludge. Sludge slows down the flow of blood, and later begins to plug the capillaries, Which are too small for it to pass through, thus slowing circulation. As' the plugging continues, more and more areas of circulation and neigh boring tissues, deprived of vital oxygen which only circulating blood can bring them, die. If the process keeps up unchecked, death comes to the whole organism. Malaria is one of the diseases in which there is sludged blood, as has been shown by the investigators. At the American Medical Associa tion in Chicago, there was an exhibit and movie, by the physicians who have brought us this knowledge on sludged blood. The illustrations show ing the microscope and the con dition of the blood vessels containing sludged blood were also published recently in Life, and also in medical journals. Malaria was shown to be one of the diseases in which there is sludged blood. Until quinine was introduced to civilization about three hundred years ago, no medication was known with which to combat malaria; and nothing better has been discovered since. An English army surgeon Sir Ron ald Ross, discovered that malaria was transmitted by the bite of a mosquito, the anopheles. It introduces a para site, which increases very rapidly in the blood stream. They invade the red cells, causing them to burst and disintegrate. This being the case, we do not wonder that sludged blood is found to clog the blood vessels of a person suffering from malaria. The medical profession is made to realize, as never before, that malaria is one of the most dangerous and in sidious diseases that affect mankind. There scientists found that quinine breaks up blood cell masses in TEMPTING MEALS The Year Hound FCCDLCCKE3S...
