Make Farms Safer To Help Stop Accidents A thorough spring cleanup of the farm premises Is good In surance against loss of property and man hours later. County Agent P. B. Ezell''points out that a few hours spent In cleaning out fire and accident hazards and in putting things in order will be time well spent. He says a recent National Safety Council study of hospitalized home accident cases showed that the largest single cause of injuries, other than poor judgement, was disorder. The study showed that disorder was responsible for put ting one out of every five of the accident victims in the hospital. Records show that in the na tion farm families alone lose about 3,500 lives and $125,000,000 worth of property annually from fires. Much of this loss could be prevent ed by the removal of fire hazards and the observance of fire pre vention practices. Suggestions of the local agent for the cleanup include: Remove trash accumulations such as papers, rags, and rubbish and scat tered boxes and boards that may have accumulated from basement to attic. Medicines, drugs, and insecticides should be clearly labeled and kept out of the reach of children. Check through the farm shop. Are tools in their right places, hammer and axe handles secure and in good condition? Is there an accumulation of barbed wire, glass, scrap metals, loose boards, weeds, grass, etc., about the farmstead? Barns are the principal ^ork centers for daily farm chores; so it is important to find suitable locations or storage places for feed, tools, harness, and other equipment in order to keep alley- ways and work areas clear. “If every farm family would conduct a ‘spring cleanup cam paign’ inside and out, it would go a long way toward eliminating fire and accident hazards, provide a more healthful environment, and make for better ease in doing farm and home work,” Mr. Ezell states. Jasper Chapter Holds Meeting The April meeting of Jasper Chapter, D.A.R., was held at the home of Mrs. P. D. Johnson. Mrs. R. B. Baker, regent, called the meeting to order and Mrs. Johnson, chaplain, led the members in prayer. The salute to the flag and the American’s Creed were led by Mrs. P. M. Nichols.

Owen, was read. Mrs. Baker, regent, and the other retiring officers of the chap ter were given a vote of thanks for their splendid work during their terms of office.

If you’re interested in accidents, scientific history looks like this: In 1786, Luigi Galvan! noticed the accidental twitching of a frog’s leg and discovered the principal of the electric battery. In 1822, the Danish physicist Oersted, at the end of a lecture, happened to put a wire conducting an electric current near a magnet, which led to Faraday’s Invention of the dynamo. In 1858, a 17-year-old boy named William Henry Perkin, trying to make artificial quinine, cooked up a black-looking mass, which led to his discovery of aniline dye. In 1890, Prof, von Mering and Prof. Minkowski operated on a dog. A laboratory assistant noticed that the dog's urine attracted swarms of flies. He called this to the attention of Minkowski, who found that the urine contained sugar. This was the first step in the control of diabetes. In 1895, Roentgen noticed that cathode rays penetrated black pepper and discovered X-rays. In 1929, Sir Alexander Fleming noticed that a culture of bacteria had been accidentally contami nated by a mold. He said to him self: “My, that’s a funny thing.” He had discovered penicillin. Of course, all these accidents would have been meaningless if they hadn’t happened to Galvani, Perkin, Roentgen and so on. As Pasteur has said, “Chance favors the prepared mind.” —Rudolf Flesch in “The Art or Clear Thinking” !
