FARMING RATED
NATION’S 3RD MOST
HAZARDOUS JOB
Between 14,000 and 15,000 farm
residents will be killed in accidents
this year if the 1955 death rate
conforms with that of previous
years. Another 1,200,000 or more
may be injured.
According to the National Safe
ty iCouncil, farming is the na
tion’s third most hazardous in
dustry, Mining and construction
have a higher rate of work deaths
per 100,000 workers, but agricul
ture has the highest number of
accidental deaths.
Because farm mishaps tend to
.occur most often during late morn
ing or afternoon hours, when
body reflexes are more sluggish,
many safety men recommend that
rural workers emulate office and
factory employees and take brief
coffee breaks about 10.30 a.m. and
3.30 p.m.
In one nationwide industrial
study, 82 per cent of the personnel
men interviewed reported that cof
fee breaks helped to reduce fa
tigue, 32 per cent reported a lower
accident rate.
The National Safety Council in
cluded the following among “ma
jor unsafe acts” which farmers
should guard against: failure to
make regular safety inventories;
hurry (taking shortcuts that
cause accidents); using defective,
unguarded, or wrong equipment;
inattention (daydreaming while
working with heavy machinery or
near hazardous work, improper
animal handling; violating com
mon sense safety rules; allowing
children near dangerous machin
ery.

I However, better methods of care
,and prevention today bring new
hope for young hearts. Know
ing the facts about these diseases
(can spare you needless worry
j over your child’s health. Here are
the questions most people ask—
| and the answers you ought to
know.
WHAT iS RHEUMATIC FE
VER? Rheumatic fever is a dis
ease that may affect any part of
the body—particularly the heart,
joints, blood vessels, skin or
brain. Damage to the heart may
be serious or even fatal, but the
effects on other parts of the body
are usually temporary.
WHAT IS RHEUMATIC
HEART DISEASE ? Rheumatic
heart disease is the inflammation
and scarring of the heart muscle j
and heart valves as a result of
rheumatic fever. This may inter
fere with the work of the vital
“pump” that supplies the blood
our bodies need.
DOES RHEUMATIC FEVER I
ALWAYS DAMAGE THE
HEART FOR LIFE? No. Two
out of three rheumatic fever pat- j
ients get well completely or have !
so little heart damage they car.
work or play like anyone else.
WHAT CAUSES RHEUMATIC
: FEVER. The immediate cause is
unknown. When rheumatic fever
strikes, it usually follows nose
and throat infections that are
caused by a germ of the strep
tococcus family. For example,
“strep” sore throat, tonsillitis or
scarlet fever. Rheumatic fever
often starts about two to four
weeks after the “strep” infection
disappears, but not all “strep”
infections are followed by rheu
matic fever.
HOW CAN I DECIDE
WHETHER MY CHILD HAS
RHEUMATIC FEVER? Never
try to decide yourself. Let your
doctor be the judge at all times.
To Honor
Beauticians
With Mural
Washington, D. C. — The Na
tional Beauty Culturists’ League
has commissioned Lucille D. Rob
erts, well-known Washington ar
tist, to do a mural depicting the
development of the beauty cul
turist field.
According to Mrs. Cordelia
Greene Johnson, president of the
League, Miss Roberts’ work will
be unveiled in ceremonies at the
organization’s headquarters in
Washington during the 36th an
nual convention, August 14-18, at
which time the beauticians will
create its Hall of Fame.
Miss Roberts describes the
mural as being a work expressing
“the underlying philosophy of
‘unity among beauticians’.” It is
designed to increase public un
derstanding and acceptance of the
professional aspects of beauty
culture and the high educational
standards required of people in
the field.
It is expected that around 1,000
delegates from throughout the;
United States and abroad will be!
in Washington for the anunal
convention of the League to be
held at the Masonic Temple, 10th
and U Streets. During the per
iod of August 8-12 the League
will conduct its Institute of Cos
metology at Margaret Washing
ton High School.
Among speakers to appear be
fore the convention and institute
are Fredrick Morrow, member of
the White House staff, Edward
R. Dudley, NAACP, Charles By
num, National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, Donald C.
Stokes, Stokes Institute of Tri
chology ,and Mrs. Carmen Mur

Assure Safety of Salk Polio Vaccine
, - For the first time in history, a
vaccine is protecting millions of
human beings from paralytic
polio. While the Salk vaccine
will not work in every case,
American children are being
safeguarded against the dread
disease, with no more risk than
they would take in a vaccination
against smallpox or a typhoid
shot. The Salk vaccine must pass
elaborate tests under the watch
ful eye of a government inspec
tor at every stage of production.
Then the final packaged vaccine
is approved by the U.S. Public
Health Service for distribution.
Here are shown a few of the steps
that assure American parents
their children are being given a
safe vaccine.
This technician is filtering dead cells and all
other foreign matter from polio virus after it
has grown on animal tissue in glass containers.
Virus is “cooked” in tank with formaldehyde
(from bottle) until it is rendered harmless,
after which it must pass exacting safety tests.
Animal tissue in tubes is inoculated with vac
cine and let stand. If any live virus remains,
it will multiply here, hence can be detected.
This expert is examining tissue
after contact with vaccine, to
determine absence of live virus.
It's all over and it didn’t hurt a bit! Salk vac*
cine makes this little girl safer now from pal*
alytic polio. And her parents feel better too!.,
IT’S AMAZING!_
