It's Important As we go to work, drive on ! the highway, or just putter around the house we should realize that safety is important to everyone of us . . . not i just to mark up a good record, to make any headlines, or receive rewards but to keep our fingers and toes, life and limbs. What could be more important? In making our bodies, nature has done a remarkable job. They have been given us with all of our senses but also there has been given us the responsi Dimy oi keeping them safe and taking good care of ourselves.

It's not always easy to keep calm and cool when we are harried with worry and duties. When something goes wrong at the office or plant or in your home, don't "fly off the handle." It does waste nervous energy and is a health hazard. It's very tiring, and it injures the body, not only of the man who does the bawling out, but of the poor, unfortunate "bowlies" who are left hurt, ashamed and rebellious. Disturbing emotions as worry and mental strain can give rise to illness or can bring about flareups in the course of diseases, such as angina pectoris, high blood pressure, peptic ulcers, ar im ins, goner. itchy skin and irritations of the bladder. When you find yourself getting more and more irritable. wanting to snap people's heads off, having insomnia and trouble in concentrating, you had better take it easy or you may be headed for a serious illness. A smile is a curve that can set a lot of things straight. # * * Eating fish may not strengthen the brain, but going fishing certainly stimulates the hope and imagination. Man lied a in the N. Y.

By taking a look at the injuries we have had in the last few years, we can see that handling objects, falls, and machinery cause most of the injuries at Clinton-Lydia. These accidents can be prevented if?we all want to prevent them and work together to try and prevent them. Most of the accidents that we have from handling ob jects arc caused by not lifting the right way. getting our fingers and toes mashed by the objects and by just not looking where we are going. If we would just remember two simple rules which are to bend your knees and keep your back as stiaight as possible when picking up an object and to lift with your arm and leg muscles, we could prevent these occurrences. Those are simple rules, but if we all followed them, the accidents that result from handling objects would take a sharp drop. Housekeeping is the answer to the problem of reducing accidents caused by falls. The better the houskeeping in our mills, the k?ss we have to worry about the accidents from falls. When we work around machinery for a long time, we sometimes forget that machines can hurt us if we aren't careful. Well, machines can cause accidents?bad -wvirlnntc IV/Ta^Ui% ?

Stopping in front of the desk of little Mehitabel, she asked "What is your father's name?" "Daddy," replied Mehitabel. "Yes. I know that," said the teacher, "but what does your mother call him?" Little Mehitabel thought for a moment, then said. "She don't call him anything?she likes him." J, k. fl JOY Bridwell is the niece of Mrs. R. C. Oxner and Mrs. C. W. Woolen, Clinton Weaving.
