Accidents Can
Occur On Your
Vacation Trip
Families cannot afford to leave
safety at home when they pack up a
| part of their belongings and move
into summer quarters at the sea
shore, in the mountains or on some
cool inland lake. Accidents occur
just as frequently in and around a
beech cottage or a mountain cabin
as they do around the permanent
‘■family home.
. One of the best ways of insuring
your family's' summer safety, accord
ing to the Institute for Safer Living
is to make a step by step inspection
of the new home ,and its surround
ings immediately upon arrival. This
is especially important if the accom
modations are being used for the
! first time.
i The institute lists four areas of
i summer home hazards which should
be carefully checked before the fam
ily jetties down to enjoying warm
j weather activities:
1. Summer cottage or cabin:
Thoroughly inspect each room for
i protruding nails, splintered or loose
i aid and other subsidies they can get boards in floors, stairs, walls and
'from both state and federal sources. !«ther woodwork. Check porches,

Weevils Seen
Serious Threat
To S. C. Cotton
Clemson, June 9.' — A heavier!
than exepected early emergency of
boll weevUs in cotton fields (
throughout the state has brought
about a serious threat to this year's'
cotton crop. This heavy emergen- j
ty of weevils is expected to arouse!
cotton growers to prompt action
for their control, Clemson officials!
say.
Reports from county agents and
from experiment ^.station workers!
indicate that tftere are many times
more overwintered weevils in cot-;
toq fields of the slate now than
were present at the same time last
year.
These reports also indicate that
growers in general are apparently
not concerned about the presence
of weevils in their fields and are
not applying poisons to kill them
off. Reports from insecticide deal
ers are to the effect that sales of
insecticides this spring have been
light.
The Clemson extension cotton
committee today cautioned growers

Lon to insure properties of consti
tuent churches to the end that re
duced fire and casualty rates might
be realized. Such a policy would put
the church in direct competition with
individuals in the pews of the church
who pay licenses and taxes to make a
livelihood, and then contribute from
their income in the support of the
church. Churches have no business
in the fire insurance business, or in a
plan now becoming popular to insure
ministers and other salaried employ
ees of churches. This, too, is getting
out of the primary work in which
they should be engaged and for
which the church was established
two thousand years ago.
It would seem that with the grow
ing worldly competition confronting
the church today that its business is
big enough to require all the thought
and energies of its constituency
without invading into oher fields

with its program.
There should be a wide, distinct

The homage he receives and de
