Appliances, lamps and ther comforts that we take jr granted are as safe as ig;d quality control during lanufacture can make them, et. misuse of electricity Trough carelessness in the ome causes considerable anual property losses in this >untry. Two groups of experts. The iternational Association of lectrical Inspectors and The afe Electrical Cord Commit?e off u" twelve easy - to illow rules for safeguardmg our home and your family lectrically. 1. Don't connect too many lamps or appliances to a single circuit. This can cause overloading, which leads to blown fuses. 2 Don't run lamp or appliance cords over radiators or pipes. Heat causes deterioration of insulation, and if the bare wire touches a metal surface. a short circuit or fire can result. 3. Never touch an electric appliance, radio or light switch while you are in the bathtub. Never stand in a puddle when connecting laundry appliances. Never touch any electric appliance with wet hands. 4. Don't place cords in door jambs. The constant closing of a door will damage insulation. 5. Use convenience outlets in the walls, not lamp sockets, for connecting electric appliances. H. Don't run cords under rugs. Walking on the c o r d s will eventually damage the insulation and this damage will bo unseen beneath a rug. 7 Never touch any grounded metal, such as a radiator, when handling connected electric appliances. 8. Don't "yank" plugs out of sockets bv pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug itself to remove it from a socket. 9. Inspect all flexible cords regularly for frayed or cracked insulation. 0. Disconnect electric irons when you are not using them. 1. When buying lamps, appliances. extension cords, power supply cords, or cord-sets, look for Flag Labeled cords carrying the words "Inspccted-Underwri tors' Laboratories. Inc." All components of cords bearing this label have been tested and proven electrically safe under rigid inspection. 2. Employ a qualified electrical contractor to make repairs and additions to your house wiring after securing approval from the local inspection bureau in your community. QOME SPRING a little bit of Holland will be seen throughout our communities. Recently an opportunity to purchase Hyacinths. Tulips, Narcissus. Daffodils and Crocusses direct from Holland was made available to all employees by the Woman's Club at each mill. The bulbs have arrived and many have already been planted; however, any time this month may be considered as the ideal time of year to plant most spring flowering bulbs. Root growth begins soon after the bulbs are planted and continues until severe coia weatner. lhis is the reason for planting in the fall rather than winter months. The growing of bulbs is simple. Most of them will grow in any good garden soil. They should have a welldrained soil, preferably one with sand and humus in it. Bulb roots grow very deep, so it is advisable to pulverize the soil 12 to 15 inches deep. When the soil is being pulverized. liberal amounts of bone meal should be added. This is the only fertilizer needed until early spring.

It is estimated by the United States Public Health Service that 20.000.000 Americans were stricken by the disease in the last four months of 1957 alone. Details of the course and character of last winter's epidemic as revealed by the experience of the Metropolitan I, I f o Insuranpp Pomrianv'c millions of industrial policyholders. include the following: The epidemic produced an appreciable increase in the total death rate. Among the company's industrial policyholders. the death rate from all causes combined in the last quarter of 1957 was 16 percent above that in the cor 5 through, a small amount of complete fertilizer should be worked into the soil very shallow around them. Arrangement of the bulbs when planting is usually done in two manners, either in beds or borders. The depth and distance apart is shown in the planting chart. When planted in beds, they should be massed in a conspicuous location easily seen from the house and the street. They may be planted alone or with other flowering plants, such as pansies. In borders the best effects are achieved by grouping me bulbs. Groups of three or more depending on the space give beautiful splashes of color during the spring blooming period. After the bulbs have finished blooming in the spring, remove the dead blooms, but never remove the leaves. The leaves grow a new bulb for the following year. Occasionally, bulbs should be dug, divided. and replanted. There is no set time to do this. Usually, it is every three to five years, but the best guide to follow is when the bulbs produce many leaves and few blooms.

Among children and young adults, the highest incidence occurred in the earlier weeks of the epidemic, while among midHlo-afr>H anH nlH nonnlo -r>~ ? * ' ? the outbreak reached its peak appreciably later and subsided more slowly. Tbe mortality was largely concentrated among the very young and the aged. A large proportion of the deaths attributed to influenza occurred among people who had pre-existing chronic disorders. Especially vulnerable were middle-aged and old people with chronic heart disease.
