By Max Smith

I'D LIKE TO repeat the
recommendation of careful
disposal of old pesticide con-
tainers and the safe storage
of surplus chemicals about
the home and the farm.
Spray materials are a part of
many cropping programs in
modern agriculture but must
be handled carefully. Left-
over materials should be stor-
ed in the original containers
in order to maintain the lab-
el and spray directions; they
should be stored away from
children, pets, and livestock
and away from any kind of
garden or farm seeds to be
used next year. Pesticide
safety requires careful atten-
tion to these materials; emp-
ty containers should be bur-
ied or disposed through com-
mercial disposal concerns.
SHEEP producers should be
making some plans for the
winter management of their
floc. When the ewe flock is
housed the forage that is fed
should be equal to good
pasiare. Good quality legume
hay or silage is a must for a
successful sheep raising pro-
gram. Either corn or grass
silage can replace part of the
hav but the silage must be
top quality and free from
mold and frozen chunks. Re-
gardless of the forage fed, it
is aiways safe to let the ani-
maz's have free access to both
salt and minerals; clean wa-
ter at all times along with
daily outside exercise will
help bring success. Stemmy
hay left-over from the pre-
vious feeding should be clean-
ed out of the hay rack and
used. for bedding. Little or
no grain is recommended de-
pending upon the condition
of the ewes.
SYIIPTONS of shipping fev
er in feeder cattle might be
worth reviewing at this time
of the year; this infection is
one of the most common a-
mong cattle and takes a
heavy toll each year. Ani-
mals suffering from fever us-
vally stand or lie alone with
one or both ears hanging
down and drip excess saliva
from the mouth; they may or
may not have a discharge
froma the nose. Rapid, short
breathing is a sign of lung
congestion or pheumonia;
they appear dull and will eat
very little; a hacking cough
often accompanies shipping
fever infection. Temperatures
will usually exceed 100 to
102 degrees which is consid-
ered normal for many cattle.
Careful observation of the
antinals for the first three
wercks afier shipping for the
above conditions will detect
trouble and dictate early
treatment. Delayed treatment
is costly and may mean the
loss of the animal.
THE PROPER location to
plant trees is often a prob-
lem» on many premises; since
some trees may be planted
yet this fall and many more
next spring, I'd like to sug-
gest that advance planning
enter into this decision. Keep
trees away from overhead
telephone and electric lines,
sidewalks, curbs, driveways,
and away from sewer lines
and disposal fields. The roots
of most trees will grow to-
ward moisture and if sewage
disposal areas are present,
the small roots will clog up
the system. Keep shade trees
at. least 30 feet away from
buildings in order to prevent
structural damage when the
trée reaches maturity. Late
fall or early spring are the
recommended times to plant
. «+ + + + + bst shade trees inthis. area.

“Oh, Dr. Crane, please tell

CONSULT GOD
When your loved one is in
the hands of earthly medical
experts, then you better con-
sult the Chief Physician of
this universe,
He is God Almighty.
Far too many of you Am-
ericans think an M.D. is
God, but that is a sad mis-
take.
We medics can’t even heal
a scratch on your hand or
foot!
When we remove an in-
flamed appendix, we suture
the muscles and skin togeth-
er, just so God will have an
easier time of making the
two cut surfaces knit or
grow fast.
The Worry Clinic
Home Ec Teachers should spotlight Laura's trag-
though a college graduate,
use a cookstove! She can
but not operate the kitchen
range properly, So scrapbook this case or mail it to any
d the house!
CASE Z-494: Laura B., aged 4, is now in a hospital.
“Oh, Dr. Crane,” her frantic mother cried, “I don’t be-
doesn’t live.
“She reached up this noon at the kitchen stove and
took hold of the handle of a pan full of boiling cabbage.
It tipped over on her and now she is so terribly burn-
the balance.

TO CONFERENCE
Ragnar F. Hallgren, super-
vising principal of Donegal
school district, has been in
Bedford Springs, Pa., for
three days this week attend-
ing sessions of the state su-
pervising principals’ associa-
tion.
AUTO SAFETY BELTS
Experts estimate that more
than 5,000 lives would be
saved each year in the United
States and that injuries would
be reduced by one-third if
everyone used auto seat belts,
says the Insurance Informa-
tion Institute.

But we medics cannot
make skin or muscles grow
together!
1 say this, not to reduce]
your faith in doctors, but to
remind you to quit indulging
in the popular idolatry now-
adays of worshiping physic-
ians.
In many cases, we can help
the Almighty and often tip
the scales in favor of recov-
ery by our timely assistance
and quick surgery.
So consult your physician
immediately when necessary
but don’t forget the ONLY
DOCTOR who can actually
cure you!
And will you mothers
PLEASE make it an inexor-
able rule to use the back two
burners on your cook stove
before you ever place a pan,
skillet or coffee pot on the
front burners?
Instead, most of you light
the front burner first and
thus endanger your toddler.
Until you need 3 burners,
you should NEVER use a
front burner!
And when you do, be sure
to turn the handles sideways
so they do not project out-
ward to tempt the upreach-
ing hands of toddlers!
Most of you wives can
drive automobiles safely for
you have often taken driv-
ing lessons in high school.
But it is vital that you al-
so take safety lessons regard-
ing that dangerous instru-
ment called a kitchen stove!
Yet you may graduate from
Home Economics at College
and still thoughtlessly use
the front burner when the
back two are idle!
Train yourself, the way
aviators are taught, so you
don’t have to think but will
automatically and habitually
do the right thing at the
right time.
Thousands of children are
critically burned at kitchen
stoves every year, many fa-
tally, yet their mothers are
intelligent, well - educated
women.
But they lack proper safe-
ty habits in their own Kkitch-
ens!
While much of medical folk-
Tore is now obsolete and largely
forgotten, there are still many
completely erroncous beliefs
about their health held by size-
able numbers of people in our so:
called age of enlightenment.
TODAY'S HEALTH GUIDE,
the American Medical Associa-
tion's manual of health informa-
tion for the American family,
points out that grandma is not
always wrong in her concepts of
health. But she often is wrong.
The book lists some of the
common misconceptions about
health—
e Eating between meals is al-
ways harmful (untrue).
e Bad breath mcans
(not so).
e Milk should not be taken at
the same time as sour fruits (not
50) .
e Proteins and carbohydrates
should not be eaten at the same
meal (incorrect).
e Daily bowel movements are
necessary for health (untrue).
e Pain in the back must indi-
cate kidney disease (incorrect).
e Pain in the abdomen means
an overloaded stomach (wrong).
e A laxative is good for abe
dominal pain (it is sometimes
' dangerous) .
| e Food kept in an open tin can
‘is necessarily poisonous (not if
discase

properly refrigerated)s

Medical Folklore
Usually Wrong
e Scales from scarlet fever and
measles spread the disease (nose
and throat secretions actually do).
e Sewer gas makes people sick
(no—it’s just unpleasant).

e Pimples and boils indicate
bad blood (they are due to in-
fections) .
e Boric acid strengthens the
eyes (it does not).
e Fried and highly seasoned
foods are harmful (not in moder-
ation). :
e A cold can be broken up or
cured (it cannot).
e You feed a cold and starve a
fever (no).
e Eye muscle exercises will
eliminate the need for glasses (a
dangerous fallacy). |
e Vegetarianism is good for
health (it simply makes good nu-
trition more difficult), 10/30/67,

Discipline Vs
Punishment
Discipline and punishment
are not the same, yet some
people tend to use them in-
terchangeably.
Discipline is teaching and
training, and punishment in-
flicts discomfort on the offen-
der, explains Mrs. Marguerite
Duvall, extension specialist
in child development and fa-
mily life of Penn State uni-
versity.
Leading, shaping, and
guiding behavior are involved
in discipline. The goal of dis:
cipline is self-discipline, self-
reliance: One step toward
self discipline is accomplish-
ed when children accept its
usefulness. The fact that dis-
cipline is desirable is often
overlooked.
Punishment may be bodily
pain, such as slapping or
whipping. It may take the
form of scolding, shaming,
or depriving the child of cer-
tain pleasures, says Mrs. Du-
vall.
Fear is connected with
punishment. The fear of pain
and the fear of the loss of
love are deeper emotions than
most adults realize. Punish-
ment works because it threat-
ens the child’s security by
fear. The success of punish-
ment depends on whether he
will remember the fear well
enough to stop action the
next time. The child comes
to think of himself as bad
because he wants to disobey,
and weak because he is afraid
He feels guilty and helpless.
To be effective, Mrs. Du.
vall points out that punish-
ment must be used with an
understanding by the child
of why the crime is a crime,
of what makes it undesirable.
However, when both parent
(and
that is discipline), punish-
ment often is not needed.
