NEW BAN ON FLAMMABLE
MATTRESSES
Mattress fires are one of
the major types of single fa
tality fires for both adults and
children. Hopefully a new Fed
eral standard for mattresses
will drastically reduce such
tragedies In the future.
Government tests indicate
that present mattresses, when a
lighted cigarette Is placed on
them, will ignite at least 50
per cent of the time. Mattr
esses complying with the new
standard resist Ignition 99.9
per cent of the time.
The new standard, which co
mes from the Commerce Dep
artment, includes other bedding
Items--mattress pads and all
Items of furniture having de
tachable mattresses, as sofa
beds and rollaway beds.
In announcing the new Fed
eral standard, Commerce Sec
retary Peter G. Peterson st
ated that 99 per cent of all
mattresses now being sold co
uld not pass Its specifications.
MAKE WAR ON MOSQUITOES
Some species of the needle
nosed insect known to us all
as the mosquito are carriers
of diseases such as malaria
to men, encephalitis to man and
horses and heartworm to dogs.
And the bite of all species of
the six-legged pest causes it
ching and unsightly red welts.
All mosquitoes are a nuisance.
The best way to make your
home and yard comparatively
mosquito - free is to eliminate
all standing water, according to
the Entomology Research Di
vision of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. Mosquito eggs
cannot hatch unless they are in
water.
With this in mind, look for
pools of water on your grounds;
eliminate them. Then make sure
your premises comply with the
following checklist:
(1) Remove any receptacle
where rain or any run-off water
might accumulate.
(2) Throw away any tempor

Program
To Begin
Bright, blue pamphlets are
appearing all over the county
this week. They tell about a new
voluntary program for young
children which begins Aug. 25.
Mrs. Betty Benson, Curri
culum Director for the Forsyth
County Schools and the general
director of the new program,
says that children under six In
our county should benefit
greatly by the activities and
services offered.
There will be a regular ki
ndergarten at Ducktown for
five-year-old children, as well
as an educational program at
home for handicapped children
who are three, four and five.

(3) Place discarded bicycle
and automobile tires in places
where they will not collect
water.
(4) Tightly cover cisterns,
cesspools, septic tanks, fire or
rain barrels and tubs where wa
ter may be stored.
(5) Check your birdbath—
empty it and thoroughly wash it
at least once a week.
(6) Clean out rain gutters so
clogged areas will not cause
water to dam up.
(7) Check potted plants. Mos
quitoes cannot breed in damp
soil, but water enough for br

saucers under the plant.
LET’S SAVE BREAKFASTS
In today’s changing times,
the good old-fashioned break
fast, like many pleasantries of
the past, seems to be in dan
ger of extinction. An increas
ing number of restaurants and
snackshops, and probably a mo
dern trend toward early morn
tng idleness are probably the
primary threats to the healthy
breakfast at home.
Your family deserves a good
breakfast and here’s why:
This morning meal is an
ample source of protein, vita
mins and minerals— materials
needed to build and repair and
maintain a healthy body. Itpro
vides fuel for body energy—
for quick starts on both hot
and cold mornings. And the best
argument for breakfast —it
tastes good.
A suitable breakfast pattern
could range from a simple fruit,
cereal or bread, milk, or other
beverage to a hearty breakfast
fare of fruit, cereal or bread,
eggs with meat or ham. Sound
planning shruld provide at least
one-fourth of the day’s food at
breakfast.
So, gather the whole family
'round the table tomorrow mo
rning for a wholesome break
fast. It’s a good way to start
the day.

Johnson said, “Although the

for only a few years, it Is
gratifying to see the organiza

being Invited to sing with such
an outstanding orchestra and
with such an accomplished con
ductor as Mr. Devine.”
