In general, about 26 percent of all industrial injuries to the body happen on the hands or fingers. Of * course, that's natural since we * do most of our work with our hands. 1 Here are a few pointers on r how to protect your hands 1 from injury: 1. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. t A tool that's too light or heavy, too big or too small for c the job may cause serious in- ( jury to the hands. Using a ? wrench for a hammer, a file for a lever, pliers for a wrench ( Ldn i uui equipment ana aiso hands. * 2. USE TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION. Dull cutting ' edges, mushroomed heads, * cracked handles, stripped * jaws are all potentially dan- c gerous to your hands. Don't 1 use a poor tool just "one more time." Tools can be replaced. No one has been able to replace a finger yet. 3. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM OPERATING MACHINERY. Before repairs are started on any operating ma ^ E'V M chinerv your first move z should be to cut off the dis- 4 connect switch. More hands t iiave been amputated or 1 mashed b ecause someone s made some other move first. 1 I 4. USE CARE IN HANDLING MATERIALS. Wear gloves j when von'ro handling nnv. . - - - - - f, . thing that is sharp, blunt, j jagged or splintery. Make , sure your hands are clean when y o u pile materials. Don't sandwich them, don't 1 squeeze them, don't crush ( them. 1 5. GET IMMEDIATE TREATMENT FOR SCRATCHES. CUTS, SPLINTERS.

Don't put your hands into trouble. Tliov are your wageearners. your servants. Take care of them. + * * While the diagnosis of the patient, who had eaten and imbided very generously, was proceding, the sick man said: "Doctor, do you think the trouble is in my appendix?" "No." said the doctor, "the trouble is in your table of . contents!" , Safe Haunting Hallowe'en is on us again, iere are a few ways to keep he trick or treating safe for he little ones ... ?Use burnt cork, grease >aint or other make-up. It's nessy but it's a lot safer han a rubber mask. ?Make sure that all cloth?s worn are short enough so hey won't get tripped over. S oft rubber weannnc rnly! Even a wooden sword ran be dangerous if it breaks md splinters. ?Absolutely no candles or )ther open flames. Flashights only, preferably with a elastic lens. ?Don't let toddler set off vith older children. They'll "orget about him and he'll jet lost.

Walker Osborne, and Bluford 7 iiJiOw course, no child ever goes trick or treating alone! Adult supervision, discreet and from a distance, is a good idea. Parents can get together and work out a rough plan of assignments on this. You can protect your own property from the older kids in the neighborhood by giving a community Hallowe'en party. Everybody chips in for the punch and doughnuts. You don't need a finished basement or regular rumpus room. Just clear everything away from the center of the floor and set up long tables for refreshments against the walls. A phonograph can provide the music and the kids will provide their own entertainment. It may be a bit noisy but it will be a lot easier on everybody's fences, gates and automobile tires.

The water was thrown back into the pond to conserve it. Advantages of our modern equipment was convincingly proven to each man by contrast with the old. Several men had a difficult time using the old playpipe type nozzles when Chief E. P. Taylor ran the pressure up by starting the fire pumps. One man can easily, safely and very effectively use the new 11spray nozzles at pressures in excess of 100 lbs. No fire was extinguished. The drill was designed to permit everyone to get the feel of the hose and to build confidence and respect for the equipment and to improve the brigades' ability to put it in service quickly and effectively if necessary.
