sea, and in the air have given
their lives to halt the spread of
Communist subjugation in Korea,
and as a further tribute to the
courage and faith of the American

preserve the freedom and ideals

whole American people, becomes
one single unified instrument of
‘Power For Peace.’ ”

lina, South Carolina, Georgia,

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.

Accidents Lead
To Discoveries
Taka any history of science and
you’ll find that it is a history of
accidents and hunches. 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.”

“The Art or Clear Thinking”

Easter Bunny
Visits Korea
WITH THE FIRST MARINE DI
VISION IN KOREA—The Easter
bunny left a nest egg this year
for some 400 children at a Roman
Catholic and Episcopal orphanage
in Korea.
Through the efforts of Roman
Catholic Chaplain Francis P. O’
Malley and members of Marine
Air Group 12, 500 sections of rice-
land will be purchased, to make
sure the children have enough to
eat after Uie Leathernecks leave.
Chaplain O’Malley terms the
purchase “nothing more than life
insurance” for the homeless waifs.
Catholic members of Air Group
12 were urged to contribute money
during Lent for support of the
Catholic Orphanage at Pyongteck.
Chaplain O’Malley also sought
lenten contributions for the Epis
copal Orphanage in the group
area, also support by the Marines.
The $2,000 for the purchase of
the land is being collected from
the Marines at the base as well as
from their Stateside friends, who
have helped before in drives to
collect clothes and soap for the
orphans.
Chaplain O’Malley’s interest in
young people goes back to civilian
life. He was athletic director of
DePaul Academy in Chicago be
fore joining the Navy. He is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. William O’
Malley, 5135 South Aberdeen St.,
Chicago, 111.
