Avoid Summer's Boating Hazards By Heeding Common Safety Bales Take a good supply of common sense along if you go boating this summer. This warning is issued by the Institute for Safer Living of the American Mutual Liability In surance Company, which predicts a 1953 minimum of 2,864 drown ings resultlr^ from boat accidents by September 1. About 80 per cent of all drownings are caused by boating mishaps, the Institute finds. A study of numerous boating accidents shows that most have one thing in common. One or more principles of common sense boating practice had been violat ed by the person responsible for the safety of the craft and its passengers. Boating and canoeing can be SEA FOOD FOR SALE l? 1951 the total cash value of North Carolina's commercial fish haul was over 16)4 million dollars. Modern refrigerated trucks and modern roads have brought prosperity to this industry and its people, ? to make their work and living in North Carolina more pleasant. Another contributing factor to more pleasant living for North Carolinians is the brewii>g industry's self regulation program where brewers, wholesalers and retailers? in counties where malt beverage sales or? permitted under State control ? cooperate to maintain wholesome conditions for the legal sale of beer and ale.

Don't use one that isn't in safe condi tion. Know how to handle your boat safely under all conditions. Be prepared for the unexpected. . Take along life preservers ? even -in row boats. Do not swim or dive from boats. Learn the facts about unfami liar waters such as depth, ob structions, current or tide condi tions, and prevailing wind direc tion. Don't go far from shore in unsettled weather. Heed all storm warnings, and remember that squalls often strike ? with little warning. Have proper respect for motor boats or larger craft that may be operating in your vicinity. Learn the "rules of the road" so that you will know what is expected of you in water traffic. Cooperate to avoid a collision. Don't stand up in rowboat's or canoes,' and don't horseplay. Don't drink while out in a boat, especially if you are responsible for passengers safety. When fishing, never allow the excitement of landing a big one to distract you from safe hand ling of the boat. Small craft should not be over loaded. A good rule is not more than one person per seat. Keep the gunwale of a small boat at least 8 inches above water. Ex cept in calm water, canoes should be paddled from a kneeling posi tion ? not from seat. Don't get panicky if your boat should start capsizing in deep water. Usually it will not sink. Stay with it and hold on until help arrives. A capsized canoe may be overturned and hand paddled toward safety. If someone should fall into the water from a small boat, the oc cupants should not try to get him back into the craft. Have him grasp the stern and tow him to safety. A large share of this season's drownings have stemmed from ; violation of the above safe boat ing practices. Remember them, whether you paddle a canoe, row a boat, or pilot a cabin cruiser. ; ? ! Tar Heel small grain farmers can obtain price support loans through the Commodity Credit Corporation.

Skin Care Advised In Summer Weather Almost immediately, when you hear someone talking about "sav ing your skin" during tin? sum mer, you think of sunburn. But actually sunburn is but one of the hazards to beware of during the long summer months. Vacationers, picnickers, and stay-at ?homers, need to take note, says Ruth Current, state home demonstration agent. Poison ivy, and sumac are currently in sea son. Just a careless step through the woods can land you in bed with a good case of poison ivy. When you go for a walk, keep your legs covered and be on the look-out for these poisonous plants. It's a pretty good idea, too, to take a hot shower with plenty of soap after you come in from one of these wood excur sions. Such preventative mea sures can save you a good deal of agony later. Insects are another skin bug gaboo. If you plan a picnic, be sure to take along a reliable re pellent to ward off these "man eating" intruders. And sunburn, of course, takes heavy tolls every summer, says Miss Current. If you're a first timer at the beach, lake, or even in your own back yard, take it easy. Remember that the burn rarely shows up until after you've gone in to cool off. And remem ber too, that the sun's rays can be very penetrating even on the cloudiest days. Once you've been well-burned, there is very little you can do to bring relief. The best treatment for sunburn is to prevent it! I ~|l NEWS ; of SERVICEMEN IN KOREA Pvt. Clyde H.

Arc you getting tired of run- 1 ning the cultivator and wielding ) the hoe in your garden in a los- j ing battle with weeds and grass? Why not use a mulch? It is sur prising how few gardeners make use of mulches as an aid in the conservation of moisture and the control of weeds, A mulch may be any material such as hay, straw, strawy manure, leaves, leaf mold, peat, sawdust, pine straw, or paper which can be put down on the ground around the plants for the purpose of con. , serving moisture during the hot, dry summer weather. At the same time It will keep down most of the weeds. I recently read of one gardener who collected all the cardboard boxes he could get at the store, flattened them out, and put them on the ground around his plants as a mulch ? and the results were excellent. Many vegetables, flowers, small fruits and shrubs are good subjects I or mulching. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and cucum bers may be mulched with straw, leaves or paper.
