FOR REPAIRS Greene county home owners will spend an esttlmatcd $2,112,000 dur­ ing 1953 on repairing and moderniz- zing non-farm dwellings, according to a rejiort just released by the Tile Council of America. ’’As lhc great postwar home build­ ing boom begins to slnken, home repair and reconditioning will as­ sume major importance to the build ing trades lu every community," snjd Robert Bnllcy, chairman of the Co­ uncil's residential construction com­ mittee.

The resulting demand for new major equipment, clay tile for counter toils and drain boards, and kitchen cabi­ nets means prosperity in the com­ munity for many concerns and for skilled workmen, the report points out Home repair expenditures through out the nation will total almost $4 billion in 1953, the Tilc Council re- !squirrel season..

It Is tha second consecutive year that Ohio has had a 30—day squirrel season. Tim bag and possession limits are the same as in previous years - four per day and four In possession. There arc no bag limits on the red or plney squirrel According to the 1953 hunting se­ ason predications of the Ohio game management section based on cou­ nty-wide surveys and mast crop good crops of both gray and fox squirrels. The survey showed the fox squirrel populations fairly high in the farm­ ing sections of Ohio, although the mast survey Indicated a fairly light crop of hickory, beech nnd oak mast. Fox squirrels are less dependent on fluctuations In the acorn and hickory nut mast crops than grays, finding a great deal of their food in cornfields. Gray squirrels are expected to be as plentiful as last year. However, due to the light hickory and oak crop, the hunters may have some difficulty in hunting the grays. It is quite likely that the hickory nut crop will have been cosumcd by the opening day, particularly in the southern and southeastern se­ ction of the state. Game management men are pre­ dicting that the weather will play a vital part In the success of the PRACTICE GUN ISAFETY DURING HUNTING SEASON Columbus, Ohio -----With Pra­ ctice Gun Safety During Hunting ; Season the advent of the 1953 sq- juirrei season , a new fall hunting ■season will be Ushered fn — which. following the usual pattern, will un­ port estimated.

Hunt­ ing without the consent of the land- owner is in violation of the law and violators may bo prosecuted. To preserve a sport as old as the country Itself, hunters are cau­ tioned to observe the rules of good sportsmanship. Don’t shoot near buildings or inhabited dwellings Don't tear down fences, block dri­ veways or gates, and at all times re ­ spect the wishes of the landowner. GET PERMISSION NOW and HAVE A GOOD HUNTING SE­ ASON doubtedly take the lives of some O hioans through shooting and hunt­ ing accidents, The Ohio Division of Wildlife Iras issued a plea to all hnuters to ex­ ercise oxrcme care In the handling of their guns this season to prevent such tragedies. Last year In the United States, the number of fatal accidents dur­ ing the hunting season increased per 100,000 licenses sold, This was true In Ohio also. In the 1953 sea­ son 1GOhio hunters lost their llvcss and 87 more suffered injuries ns a result of shooting accidents. The previous year only 7 were killed, while 112 were wounded. Let’s decrease that total in 19531 Use good, common horse sense while hunting—and follow the Ten Com­ mandments of Safety. 1. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun. This Is the cardin­ al rule of gun safety. 2, Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your automobile, camp, and home. 3 Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. 4. Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stumble. Keep the safety on until you are ready to shoot, 5. Be sure of your target before, you pull the trigger. 6. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. 7. Never leave your gun unattend­ ed unless you unload it first. 8. Never climb a tree or a fence with a loaded gun. 9. Never shoot at a flat, hard sur­ face of the water 10. Do not mix gunpowder and alcohol.

To wipe out the rat menace, you schould get to know their habits. The conduct of rats follow regular Patterns. They perform fantastic feats to sadsy their drive for food and Water, They have been known to form pyramids in slaugh­ ter houses to reach meat hung from the ceiling. Rats can swim for as much as a mile in open water, They can do a standing high-jump of two feet, They can cover eight feet while dropping 15 feet-withont a running start. pGOP’e think rats will attack humans. They will, but usually when being chased. Sleeping children, however, have been attacked without the slightest provocation Domestic rats are to be found wherever there Is a supply of food. That explains preference for farms. But they thrive in coties, too, part­ icularly food warehouses, food hand­ ling establishments and garbage dumps. Rats follow man wheaver he goes even Into the best constructed buildings. Breeding period Is throughout the year. Pregnancy period of the rat is 25 days. 6 to 14 rats are born in each litter, A female can have from three to seven litters per year, or up to 98 young annually. Tire young can reprodee In three months. The life of a fat Is about two years— unless some concerted effort is made to shorten It. On farms, rats go into the fields in the springtime to search for food, making grain one of their biggest diets.

Kill them, dcstory their nests, keep foor or feeds away from them and rat proof your buildings. One of the most effective rat poi­ sons on the market today is ^War­ farin, Other materials which can be used are Red Squill, ANTU, and Zinc Phosphide. Poisonous gases, es­ pecially Calcium Cyanide, aro best for killing rats In out-of-doors burrows. But oven the best of poisons are worthless over a period of time un­ less tireIr feed supply is cut off. Keep garbage cans closed tightly, ratproof grain bins with hardware cloth or sheet metal.
