Keep Your Guard Up One of the first things to learn if you want to become a good prize fighter is "never drop your guard." You must always stay alert to danger. Whether you're a potential prize fighter or not, it's a good rule to follow. Never drop your guard. Always he aware of mistakes. Always be on the lookout for possible errors. If a mistake does occur?make sure that it never has a chance to happen again. Find out why it happened and what you can do to make sure it doesn't occur again?ever! How embarrassing it is to find out you have made the same mistake. Don't let it happen to you. Keep your guard up! Keep your worn error-tree. And you'll never be knocked out or counted out. You'll be a champion! I've got an idea that's worth a fortune?invent a windshield-wiper that spits out parking tickets. ;OYEES' CHILDREN William Jonie o. 2, and Mrs. Rob Hamrick are proud are Keely Johnson, 3; Erin. 2; William parents are Keith and Juanita Johnson VACATION TIPS FOR The vacation season now is in full swing for Clinton employees. It's a fun time of the year. But it also can be a dangerous time. The National Safety Council offers the following suggestions for having a safe summer. On The Road Before starting the vacation, get the car ready. Check the tires, lights, wipers, steering and brakes. Pack a flashlight, emergency flares and first aid kit where you can get to them. Wear your seat belts. Take only what you need. Load the car so your rear vision isn't blocked. Use a car ton rnrrior if ? r WVOi.BlJ.. Study your route in advance and be ready for turn-offs. Indecision, unexpected maneuvers and sudden braking can cause a pile-up on modern highways. If you miss an expressway exit, keep going to the next one. Try to make a rest stop to stretch or change drivers at least every two hours. Plan a reasonable schedule. Don't get trapped by distractions. Pull off the road and stop if you want to look at scenery, cheek the map, settle the kids or swat a bee. Pulling A Trailer Always start slowly, apply power gradually. If you must pass, remember th:?t your passing zip is nearly all gone. And, being twice as long, you'll need twice the space to get back in line. Your car should be equipped with two outside mirrors to help you check your position at all times, particularly when passing. CLOTHMAKER 4 Q's & A's About Our Group Insurance Q ? If I become 65 years of age and continue working, will I still have hospital coverage under our Insurance Plan? A ? No, it is recommended that an individual contact his local Social Securitv Office nt lo^ct A urc J J prior to the month in which his 65th birthday occurs for details regarding enrollment. It is important that this be done in order that the individual may enroll for Medicare when he first becomes eligible to do so. Q ? Does the Life Insurance have cash, loan, or paid up value? A ? No, because of the low cost of this insurance, such provisions are not included. 4 CLINTON EMPLOYEES Allow plenty of extra space for stopping. When turning a corner, swing as wide as you safely can to allow the trailer to clear. Practice is the key to successful backing. Go slowly and don't oversteer. You can't recover if you go too far. Use a vacant parking lot for your first few practice attempts. Swimming If you get tangled in water weeds while swimming, don't thrash about. Move gently, shaking arms and legs clear of the weeds. If you can't buck a current, swim diagonally across it, moving with the flow. A swimmer developing a leg cramp a should take a deep breath and assume a face-down position. Boating Stay off water during bad weather. Don't overload boat. Hang on to a capsized boat you can't right. The boat usually will float and is easier to spot than a lone swimmer. Also the swim to shore is usually longer that it seems. Boaters should stay alert for larger ? power boats. The operator may not have seen you as his boat heads straight on a collision course with your boat. Steer to your right and have someone wave a white T-Shirt, towel or his arms to attract attention. Boaters should know distress signals and always carry a marine distress kit.
