Carbon Monoxide A Deadly Killer Says Dr. DeKleine

Three recent accidental deaths In Michigan f rom carbon monoxide poisoning call attention to these suggestions f rom Dr. William De-Klelne, State Health Commlsslone r : "Check your water heater, your furnace, your chimney; be sure they don't leak."

Each winter the Michigan De-partment of Health gets from 10 to 20 death certificates with these words written In as the cause of death: "Carbon monoxide, faulty furnace; carbon monoxide, water heater, or, carbon monoxide, chim-ney."

"Running a car in a closed garage is a common danger, but our rec-ords show that the faulty heating system in the home is the cause of most of our carbon monoxide leatha," mid Dr. DeKlelne.

Dr. DeKlelne explained that leath from carbon monoxide is a

result of suffocation; the body doesn t get enough oxygen. The f l rs i symptom Is a sharp headache. This Is usually followed by nausea and a groggy feeling. There is lit-tle or no warning and the condition develops so rapidly that by the time the victim realises something is wrong he may not be able to turn an Ignition key.

Firs t aid Is relatively simple. The patient should be carried feet f i rs t into fresh air and he should be kept warm. A pulmotor f rom the f i re department, the police or hos-pital should be used to provide oxygen. If no pulmotor is available, a cylinder of oxygen from a nearby garage can be used successfully.

Don't Pay High Fees Deal Direct Instead f

Don't let talk of red tape scare you into paying high fees for what you can do yourself in two minutes, is the advice of the conservation department's lands divisions to pei^ sons interested in buying state lands.

Keata Vining

Born and reared on a farm near Lakeview, Montcalm county, Vin-ing majored In agricultura at Michigan Stata college and became a teacher of agriculture in Fre-mont high school upon receiving his bachelor of science degree a t East Lansing. Emmet county fa rm-ers drafted him from the Fremont school Job.

Vining reports he has witnessed many changea in Kent county agri-culture in 26 years and for the most part the changes have been for the bettor. He said agricultural production has become more diver idfled and production per man has beon greatly Increased through the mechanization of farming. His proudest achievement is the help he has given thousands of +-H club members to ge t started in farming. Some boys and girls in the first clubs organized 25 years ago now are parents of youngsters enrolled in 4-H clubs and chapters of the Future Farmers of America.

The Kent county 4-H Fair, held at Lowell every August, is another project in which Mr. Vining Is en-titled to laudable pride.

Camp Vining, the 4-H club outing place at Bostwick Luke, was named In his honor in recognition of the part he played -in founding the camp and later improving the facilities, including about a dozen log cabins.

The 4-H club camp project won him the 1945 achievement award of the National County F a r m agents association In recognition of out-standing service to farmers.

Mr. Vining has had a part In or-ganising nearly all branches of Kent county agriculture. He as-sisted in organising the Kent coun-ty rural f i re department, rated as model by the United States depart-ment of agriculture.

Cbristmas Mail Start It Going

Important Instructions All Patrons Should Heed

To Avo;d Delays

Strike Near End Is The Question

Bulletin—3:15 p. m. Wed-nesday. United Mine Worken were fined SS.SOO.OOO and John L. Lewis, penoiially, was fined SIO.OOO by Judf t T. Alan GoldsborouKh for re* fusal to obey a federal dist-rict court order designed to avert the soft coal strike.

At 4 p. m. attorneys on both sides began arguing the matter and it appears at this writing that the UNW and Lewis intend to carry the case to the Supreme Court

Acting postmaster, Mabel Btbbier, and ail postotffice employees, in-cluding city and rural carriers, are appealing to the patrons of the Lowell postofflce for whole hearted cooperation in holiday mailing.

They are asking readers of The Ledger to bear in mind that postal workers have a terrific load to carry during the Christmas season and depend upon postofflce pa-tons to aid them materially in the discharge of their duties.

The proverbial "mail early" plea is no hollow ei:ho. I t is sincere and a direct appeal to the dear-thlnk-Ing postal patrons.

Common sense tells most persons that with the coal strike, many trains must be cancelled. Thus, those that do keep operating will have a double load. This will slow the movement of mail and make a difference of possibly two days in normal delivery.

'Mailings for distant states should be deposited well in advance o f jThe Dec. 10, if you would have them reach their destination before Christmas.

Greeting cards for delivery in or around Lowell should be mailed not later than Dec. 15 for delivery by Christmas. Patrons are warned that one and one-half cent stamps on cards make those cards third-class mail.

Third-class mail does not receive directory service, is not forwarded I T . , h n v m

COMING EVENTS

are large enough to be zoned will not receive your greetings on time If you fail to Include the zone num-ber In the address.

All could help alleviate the situ-ation by writing legibly.

Parcel Post Packages

Because of the ooal strike par-cel post packages are now limit-

ed to 5 lbs. In weight, 18 Inchea In length and 60 Inches In lejjjth and girth combined.

Parcel Post Packages

A warning about the proper pack-ing of parcel post is added. Unless packages are wrapped firmly, tied with steut cord and presented in proper condition at the windows, clerks will refuse to accept them.

Packages should be wrapped to withstand the most severe handl-ing as during the holiday rush the parcel post is not usually handled by regular postal employees. I t is thrown and dumped without much regard except those packages bear-ing large "Fragile or Glass" stick-ers.

If a small, improperly wrapped package is thrown or has a large heavy package dumped on It, there Is no chance of saving the contents and sometimes the package Itself Is so badly smashed it cannot con-tinue In transit.

A wider use of postal Insurance for parcel post and registered mall for expensive tiems and important letters is suggested.

Anyway, remember there won't be so many train* and that mail will be heavy, delays a regular thing and postal employees over-worked. iHelp them if you can and everybody will be more satisfied and have a merrier Christmas.

The above suggestions apply not only to Lowell but to every other postofflce as well.

fiditorial THE SHORTAGE OF TREES

When the earliest American settlers were cutting down trees and sawing out boards so that they could build their houses they said that there were enough trees on the Eafitern Seaboard to "last forever."

A oouple of centuries later the settlers in Ohio and other States were saying that there were enough trees "to last forever." Only fifty years ago the people In Michigan and Alabama and Louisiana were saying that there were enough trees to "last forever."

When Theodore Roosevelt was President more than 40 years ago a conference of the Nation's leading Industrialists was convened at the White House. Great lumbermen who were operating In the Middle West predicted at that great gath-ering that suoh limber as pine would be scarce throughout the en-tire TTnited States In fifty years. No one paid very much attention to the prophecy whldh has already come true. Wisconsin, Minnesota and other North-em States have practically exhausted their tre-mendous timber that would "last forever."

The lumber mills are still doing .business In Washington, Oregon and other Western and Southern States. But the white pine pro-ducers have recently given notice that their boards will probably sell In the near future at $S0 a thous-and board feet Black market operators placed such lumber on the market at as high as |76 a thousand board feet. Those prices seem to be quite a boost from prices ranging from |15 to |20 a thousand feet In Wisconsin and Minnesota at the beginning of the present cen-tury.

The original forest area of the United States is estimated to have covered 820,000,000 acres, or nearly half of the land area of the United States. The present area of com-

Mset trouble like a man and cheerfully endure what you can not cure.

A little skidding can go a long way!

merclal forest land was officially estinated In 1940 at 461.697,000 aero., •with only 120,832,000 acres of

• "saw timber areas." There are 158 National Forests Which are oper-ated on the basis of "sustained yield" of timber. That reminds us of the bereft farmer who locked his barn door after his horse had been stolen.

• ON PAYING DEBTS

From the Indiana Farmers Guide we clip the following sound sugges-tions to farmers on the matter ef paying off their debts:

"Your best buy for a dollar to-day is payment on a debt.

Back in 1932, It took 303 bushels of corn to pay off $100 In debts. From 1935 to 1939, It took 145 bush-els to pay that amount In 1945, only eighty-seven bushels of corn would bring $100. In July, 1946, It took fifty-two bushels of corn to pay $100 In debts.

"A dollar does not go far in buy-ing things today, but In paying debts, a dollar Is still a dollar.

"Another comparison. It took 2.5 beef cattle weighing 1,000 pounds to pay off a $100 debt In 1932. In the period from 1935 to 1939, It took only 1.5 cattle of the same weight - b u t in July of 1946, the $100 debt could be paid off with .6 of one beef cattle.

-Back In 1932, It took 9,100 lbs. of milk to pay off $100. During the 1935-39 period, this amount of debt could be liquidated with only 2,800 pounds of milk to pay the same account.

'Tarmers whe- are debt-free or who have succeeded In reducing their debt to a safe level will be prepared financially for the period ahead when prices may be less favorable than the present."

Farmers In the Sparta area are going to have a chance to go to school again this winter.

Sparta public schools are offer-ing a farm shop program starting January 14 to run ten weeks, two nights a week. This work li under the supervision of Kenneth Van-Hoesen, shop instructor, and Fred Humlston, Agricultural instructor.

These schools have been popular with the farm folks in that area. Many machines have been over-hauled, repaired and new ones built.

We have watched with interest the day classes offered to farm students in regular classes. The Sparta teachers are urging farmers to sign early so they can make their program.

Enoch Carlson, Bowne township farmer. Is one of two Michigan farmers showing pens of barrows at t h e International Livestock Show this week. Carlson Is show-ing a pen of Durocs. It is his first appearance In National competition although he has been a consistent winner In state swine rfhows. The Carlson children have shown cham-pionship swine in 4-H club shows.

Wo are glad to know that the Sparta Shipping Association is In operation again. For many years this organization served well the farmers In Kent and nearby coun-ties. They were forced to dose due to lack of a manager and govern-ment regulation.

Lynn Bradford, president of the association, tells us they started operations Tuesday of last week and will continue to ship every Tuesday if there is enough live-stock to warrant.

SOUTH BOWNE Una. JENKIB PARDEE

Greenhouse men In Kent and other counties will meet at the Gortsema Brothers greenhouse on the South Belt Line. Monday, Dec. 9, to dis-cuss with folks from Michigan State College some new wrinkles in growing greenhouse crops, one of which will be an easy way to in-sure fertilization of greenhouse tomatoes. The local growers antic-ipate quite a delegation of visitors from out of the county.

One of our farmer friends who has always been a so-called deer hunter came home last week and told his wife he was surprised how many good looking women there were In the camps where his hunt-ing party was located. Seems that Instead of staying at a runway he went visiting and according to all reports had a good time hunting deer.

i e In 1983 hybrid com was planted

on one acre out of every 1,000. In 1939, 80 percent of all com planted was a hybrid. In 1946, 75 perecent of all corn planted was a hybrid. The rate of Increase from 1987 to 1944 was 7 million acres a year. Hy-brids yield an average of 20% more than open pollinated varieties. t

There are four things you should do If you are going to use your tractor this winter and many farmers think of the tractor for all-year operation. First thing Is to fill the radiator with an antl-freeze solution. Second is to put a winter grade of oil In the cran4c case. Third winterize the transmission and fourth get the motor tuned up, start early in cold- weather. Do these things and avoid some pos-sible cussing if things go wrong.

A SCIENTISTrBELIEVE8 IN GOD

The Reader's Digest for Decembr, 1W6, carries an interesUng article entitled, "Seven -Reasons Why A Scientist Believes In God." Have you read this article? If not, get your copy of the Digest, and read It today.

The moat interesting point to us is that this scientist argues that there Is a God In PRflDOISEILY THE S A M E W A Y THBOIXXJEANB HAVE ARGUED FOR CENTUR-IES.

These arguments, to which many unthinking people have said, 'Ta that so?" are clearly set forth and defended by this learned scientist

It looks like the Churchmen have been right all along. It reminds us of an old adage that "Truth vin-dicates itself," and also of the Im-mortal words of Bryant, who said: 'Truth crushed to earth shall rise'

again; The eternal years of God are hers; But error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies amid her worshippers."

During the next three weeks, the column will heVp the reader analyze this article In the Reader's Digest It will be shown that true science finally concludes in barmony with true theology. Until next week, then, do some good thlnlclng of your own about a Supreme Being.
