Relief Prdjgram Includes Safety 'SVERY PRECAUTION TO HALT INJURIES TAKEN ON ALL ERA PROJECTS Every foreman on a work proj ect promoted by the South Caro- ina ERA is a safety man. Like the safety man on a football team it is his duty to see that the oppo nent. “old man injury,” does not slip through for a touchdown. Every precaution is taken by the Safety Department to avoid acci dents and every foreman is in structed in first aid practices, sc f hat immediate treatment can be given to any person who is injured on the job: There is a first aid kit on every project but in case a per son is hurt bad enough to require medical attention, he is sent direct ly to a practicing physician or hos pital for treatment. The works supervisor or the en gineer in each county is the di rector of safety and the foremen are under his supervision. The State ERA maintains a state direct or of safety, and. all matters per taining to injuries are referred to him. It is his duty to see that all projects are made as safe as pos sible and also to inspect not only work prefects but office buildings and other ' structures where ERA workers are employed. Not only dees the Safety Depart ment look after the elimination of hazards but it makes every effort to care for the health of the men while they are on the jobs. imiLIZEBS I have a supply of the following fertilizers: Royster’s, Armour ? s, Planters’.

LOST FAT Because She Heeded DOCTOR’S ADVICE AND DIDN’T LISTEN TO GOSSIPING NEIGHBORS! Mrs. H. H. . Long of Clarinda, Iowa, writes: “Kruschen was rec ommended to me by my doctor. Weight when starting was 226. Weight now after 3 jars is 208. Doctor says I’m doing fine.” When Kruschen Salts is pre scribed by reputable physicians to safely take off fat and greatly im prove health—why listen to gos- sipers who don’t want you to be slender? Envious! Have a mind of your own—get a jar of Kruschen to-day (lasts 4 weeks and costs but a trifle). Take a half teaspoonful in a cup of hot water every morning—tastes fine with juice of half lemon added. If you don’t lose 12 lbs. and feel years younger — money back.

Chevrolet Carryall Suburban Introduced Chevrolet has announced the In troduction of an innovation in transportation units, called the carryall suburban model, which can be used interchangeably for the hauling of merchandise or as a passenger vehicle seating eight persons. Wide acceptance of the new type body is predicted, be cause of its versatile utility. It is designed to fit the needs of owners of small businesses who primarily require a commercial vehicle, but who will use it also as a family car; and to appeal to schools, camps, clubs, hotels, and other purchasers whose first need is for a passenger vehicle of greater capacity than regular models, for ready use also for hauling baggage, supplies, and other loads. The carryall suburban body is mounted on the Chevrolet 112-inch wheelbase chassis equipped with 5.50-17 tires. The new model car ries a list price of $680. For commercial purposes, the body provides a load space 75 inches long, 52 inches wide, by 51 inches high. Loading is through the rear, which is provided with a horizontally divided closure, the lower half dropping to serve as a sturdy tail gate, and the top half opening upward, its weight car ried by a spring-balanced safety support. As a passenger vehicle, the car seats eight persons, the front and rear seats holding three each, the middle seat two. Entrance is by the right frent door, past a tilting coach-type single seat and an aisle alongside the middle seat. All except the front seats are readily removed or replaced, providing for the conversion of the vehicle for 3ither commercial or passenger use. Quick-acting hold-down bolts are used to fasten the seats securely to metal plates set flush in the floor Cn appearance, the car is essential ly a passenger car of the station .vagon type, with rounded contours if body panels both at the sides ind the rear giving the appearance 3f a sedan. A wide range of color combinations is available. The three large windows on each side of the ear are fitted with rtiartbal Ventila tion controls; the two rear windows are mounted in rounded frames in ■.he upper half of the back closure. The spring cushion seats are up holstered in high-grade imitation leather. The chassis is of standard Chev rolet design, carrying the 70- horse-power Blue Flame engine, tk.ree-speed syncro-mesh transmis- s on with silent second, cable-con trolled brakes, and wire wheels. X 7,740 Automobile Wrecks Last Year Due To Blowouts t > : » • ' v-* ' AKRON. Ohio, April 29.—Acci dents following blowouts at high speeds were responsible for a large proportion of the 36,000 deaths and 954,000 injuries xaused by-automo bile accidents in 1934.

I. j Home Of Anderson's New Radio Station « Station WAIM, Anderson’s new and modem radio station, located in Anderson College, is one of the South’s most modernly equipped plants. New Western Electrie broadcast equipment is used throughout and re ports on test programs indicate that the station is covering a w.de area. It is operated in co-operation with The Anderson Independent and DaiW MaiL ’nsurance company, also show that 7740 automobiles were wrecked by blowouts during the year. With average driving speeds in creasing, danger of serious acci dent following a blowout increases and need of some sort of safety device becomes more and more ap parent. Engineers cf The Good year Tire & Rubber Co. believe they have the answer to the problem in the new Goodyear LifeGuard tube for automobile tires, recently made available to motorists. “It is a well known fact that danger from a blowout increase^ four times when speed is doubled,*' declared a Goodyear executive. “That is, a blowout at 80 miles per hour is four times as dangerous as on© at 40 miles per hour. “Goodyear engineers were assign ed the problem df developing a safety device to combat this danger several years ago. After testing out more than 1300 types of tube construction, the new LifeGuard is the result. “The LifeGuard is in reality a ’double tube,’ one inside the other and joined together at the base, with the inner and outer air chambers connected only by a single small vent hole. When a blowout occurs air escapes instant ly from the outside tube but can escape from the Inner air chamber only through the small vent hole. The tire drops down to ride on the inside tube, which is built up of two plies of fabric, and the driver has several minutes in which to bring bis car to a stop undfcr <perfect coptrol without endangering him self, his car or the TlVes qf other motorists.” Hundreds of tests were conducted in which tires were purposely blown out by dynamite caps, by automatic knives and by funsxtog; ttfem. over plates studded with' huge railway spikes, and in every case the Life- Guard tube allowed the driver to continue down the highway in com plete control of the car. When ordinary tubes were blown out the car swerved violently off the road way and skill of the professional test car driver was taxed to the ut most to avoid serious accident. v THINGS WORTH KNOWING About 600 Indians have been graduated from recognized schools of medicine in the United States.
