Tuesday, September 11, 1U53 YELLOW SPRINGS AMEn,, . . . PAGE THREE Rural Reports Furnished by the Ohio Slate Agricultural Extension Service, Columbus, Ohio. C. A. .Reese, extension apinrl.st at Ohio State University, maintains that home owners enn kill bee* nesting behind weather-boards of a house with DDT powder. The bee speclallsst suggests that owners apply a 50 tier cent du?t a- bove the bees so it settles over the nest and brood. Ho says gardeners can use their garden duster without the metal deflector to make the ap­ plication. Digger wasps In the ground and social wasps under a roof or enves- trough enn bo killed with the same treatment. The apiarist suggests, however, that wasps be eliminated at night for obvious reasons, Ohio Stale's Extension Agricultur­ al Engineer 0. K. Kline reports that extension cords limit- performance and snfety of electrical appliances. Ho adivJses homemakers to re­ place cords with the same type cord ns the one that came with the ap­ pliance. Extension cords should be largo enough for the appliance. If too small, the wire heats and Insul­ ation becomes brittle or otherwise deteriorates. Cords with damaged In­ sulation are n shock hazard. Cords for heating appliances arc more bulky than those for light wat­ tage equipment, Mr. Kline says. They have asbestos around the wire ant! under the cotton coat on the outside. If the cotton becomes fray­ ed, it may be repaired with friction tape, Removing asbestos from cords creates a hazard. Mr. Kline further advises home­ makers to look for the Underwriters Laborltorlcs seal of approval on ex­ tension cords. This will be In a flag label slipped over the cord. Different colored labels indicate different things. If the label Is yel­ low, only the cord is approved. A blue label applies to a cord set, and indicates that wiring devices at each end also are approved. A green label identifies a power supply cord which Is a length of flex If You Want To Buy or Sell Your Farm or Town Property CALL Or WRITE LEON H. KLING McSavany (a) Co.

Drivers who permit a license, to lapse more than three months must pass n driver examination to obtain n new one. Persons who have obtained a lic­ ense by passing a test within t,he past two years will not be required to obtain a renewal license until ex­ piration date noted on the license. State Reglgtra of Motor Vehicles H.E. Foley warned thet in addition to n fine and possible Jail sentence, any person convicted of operating a motor vehicle without a driver license Is now subject to the p ro v i­ sions of the new Safety Ressponsi- billty Law.

It is a life nnd death matter for Parents to tench their children hab­ its of safety. "Children should bo taught early in life the basic rules of safety," as­ serted Dr. Johnson. “They should leam never to run out into the street or play in the paths of cars; to look both ways and then walk, not run across the street; to know nnd obey traffic signs and signals; nnd to learn the safest route to sch- oo” . He added that boys and girls who ride bicycles should be taught to obey all traffic rules and not to de­ pend on car drivers to give them the breaks. They must keep them­ selves from having an accident by remembering not to stunt or weave in traffic; to have lights at night; to be ‘sure the bicycle has good brakes and lo dismount and Walk their blcyclcs across heavily trav­ eled streets, "Not only must we teach our children traffic safety," said Dr. Johnson, "but we must set a good example, especially when we arc in the driver's sent of our own auto­ mobiles. One traffic accident to a child Is more than enough reason for drivers to drive with extra Care In school zones, residential areas nnd in neighborhoods of playgrounds athletic fields nnd the like. "Drivers o f automobiles must look out for children and expect them to do the unexpected. Even the best and smartest of children will dart into the street now and then, or cross the street with eyes nnd minds elsewhere," Chenoweth Motor Sales Your Dealer For BUICK a n d PONTIAC 6 M C TRUCKS F o r G r o o m C o u n t y GUARANTEED — Used cars o f all makes and Models.

McFarland - ■ ■' % Yellow Springs 7-7267 Xenia 2-6947 CARRYING THE MAIL A few weeks ago the National Ru­ ral Letter Carriers Association met in Cliicaga to celebrate Its Golden Jubilee. The occasion marked 50 years of service to nearly 10,000,000 rural families. The rural mailman lias fully earned great public esteem. His routes are faithfully served, often under extremely difficult conditions of road and weather. But the mailman’s Job would be impossible without another agency, which also provides an essential service In all seasons and under all conditions. That agency Is the Am­ erican railroads. Some DO percent of all non-local mail moves by rail. For transporta­ tion of the average letter the rail roads get about one ninth of ohe cent. The rails also furnish facilities for sorting and distributing mall en route. When the payments for the use of these traveling post offices are Included, their total revenue for handling the average letter comes to about one fourth of one cent. By contrast, the government pays the airlines around 10 times as much for the average letter as Is pnid the railroads for both transportation and the use of railway mall cars as traveling post offices—and the air­ lines have no facilities for sorting mall in transit. Even taking Into Consideration the fact that the ave­ rage air-mail letter travels some 2 one half times ns far ns the ave­ rage letter moving by mall, the dif­ ference In cost is notable. The railroads handle the mail, as they handle everything else, with mnximum economy and efficiency. $9,600 A YEAR FOR NOTHING Do you wonder what happens to ■nil that money the government takes from you nnd other taxpayers? Much of it Is spent usefully. But a lot Is wasted. For instance, a State FINK & HEINE CO. Buyers Of CATTLE — HOGS SHEEP rid CALVES AT DAILY MARKET PRICE Springfield, O. Phone 3-D721 Department employee recently told a House committee that in more than a year of bejng on the payroll at $9,0<J0 per annum, lia’d never been given any specific job to do. He didn't even know what the bran­ ch o f the Department he was work­ ing for was supposed to accomplish. What excuse can be offered for this kind or waste? WONDER OF THE WOULD There Is considerable confusion as to Just what Is happening to the cost of living. On the one hand, of­ ficial barometers of prices have been rising, even though only fractionally, and have touched new highs. On the other hand, many commodities are selling well under the levels of the recent past. In some cases, beef and household appliances bejng dropcoiiaplcuous examples, the price drops have been sharp. In any event, the consumer can be sure of one thing -our free, com­ petitive economy i8 working to pro­ tect hla dollar as lx>st it can, so f«r as consumer goods are concern­ ed, virtually everything is In abun­ dance. The result Is a buyer’s mar­ ket, In which strenuous Efforts are made by all concerned to attract and please the public. Wo see this in full force on the retail level today. The emphasis is on intensive selling, with all that im­ plies in the way of better service, more attractive displays, Increased advertising and promotion, price In­ ducements, nnd so on, The flood of goods that finds ith way Into the American home is one of the econ­ omic wonders of the world. hunting nnd fishing areas and to develop those which the State al­ ready owna for mlxlmum game pro­ duction, Dingell-Johnson funds are being used on three projects’, a study of the effects of land use im­ provements on stream fisheries in the Little Miami watershed, an evaluation of rough fish removal at Lake St. Mary's, and Improvement of fisherman facilities at Knox and Logan Lakes now under construc­ tion.

Although H would appear that squirrels arc not very plentiful yet It is reported that Ohio, Inldlana and Kentucky bagged approximately 8,000,000 squirrels in 1949. This Is still a far cry from the earlier squir­ rel kills. On August 22, 1822, a group squirrel hunt was held. It was re­ ported to be a poor day for hunting; so much so that many hunters never came in to tally their kill. Yet 19,- 960 squirrels were taken that day.
