Bummer conves the school vacations—^children playing in the streets, in vacant lots, at the lakes, in the playgrounds, and near ly every place you could mention. Have you done anything toward teaching your children where and how to play safely ? If you haven’t you are shirking your responsibil ity! It is only natural for chil dren to play, and if no playground is available, they will play in the streets. When we are driving our cars and approach a group of chil dren, it is well to remember that they are liable to do unexpected things. They do not react the same as a grown person. Remember that, and proceed with caution. With summer also comes vaca tions for all of us. There are a lot of hazards connected with vacation ing. The most formidable, per haps, is the highway traffic hazard. However, when city folks take to the woods and lakes, preparations for camping should be made before leaving home. Hatchets and knives should have shleaths, firearm^ should be in a locked container, particularly if any children are in the party. Study a good first aid book in advance. Learn to recog nize poison plants, such as poison ivy, poison oak and sumac. Also be prepared to treat such poisons in the event a member of the party requires treatment. Spend a little time thinking about what your activities will be, and think about what might happen—then prepare yourself to meet those emergencies; should they occur. Take plenty of warm clothing and a first aid kit. Get plenty of sleep and rest. Eat simple food. Do not overindulge in physical activities. Remem ber if you are not used to much ex ercise, you cannot get used to stren uous exercise in a few days. A. good sunburn or strained muscle may spoil the balance of your vaca tion. Give a little serious thought in planning your vacation and you'll enjoy it much more.—E. R. LEH MAN, Safety Director, Interstate Power Co., Dubuque, Iowa. - Gordon Leader Named Officer in NCTC Drive Mrs. I. S. Magowan, of Gordon, has been elected a vice-president of the National Consumers Tax Commission, it was announced at the commission’s national head quarters in Chicago today. The announcement was made by Mrs. Kenneth C. Frazier, of Dallas, Texas, retiring presiderit,1 who is elevated to the chairmanship of the board. Mrs. Melville Muckle stone, Chicago, succeeds tb the pres idency as the NCTC enters its sec ond year. In announcing the election’s out come, Mrs. Frazier said the can didates first received the almost unanimous endorsement of the na tional committee. Ballots were then sent to the 5,000 chairmen who head local NCTC tax study units throughout the country and an overwhelming proportion of those returned approved the nominees. Long identified with women’s ac tivities, Mrs. McGowan is corres ponding secretary of the Nebr. Fed eration of Women’s Clubs. She has, for the last year, been na tional committee member and state director of the NCTC for Nebraska, guiding the organization’s crusade in that state against “consumer penalizing taxes.” “Any nation-wide, non-partisan organization which can succeed in arousing tax consciousness among women and stimulate an interest in getting more for their money— both in government and in their own households—must necessarily be a great force for good,” Mrs. Magowan said. “I am sure that under Mrs. Mucklestone’s leader ship the commission will continue the first year’s amazing progress, and that within the year we will have 2,000,000 women studying the problems of taxation.” Other officers elected were: Mrs. William T. Hannah, Waynesvile, N. C., Mrs. John S. Harvey, Hunt ington, W. Va., Miss Marie Ames, St. Louis, Mo., vice-presidents, and Mrs. James C. Carmark, Provi dence, R. L, sec. Mrs. Lelia B. Nor man, Miami, Fla. was re-elected treasurer. There is always one way to tell if O’Neill wives are good cooks. Look and see how many tin cans are in the rubbish. Seeing the outfits worn in the many Eastyif parades, we figure they all looked pretty good on the outside but what about how they felt on Ifca-inside?
