‘Blakely Lions Join
Campaign To Destroy
Old Refrigerators
\ In a plan, originated by the Bain
bridge Lions Club, and which is ex
’oocted to spread throughout the na
tion, the Blakely Lions begin this
‘week to interest people in destroy
ing old ice boxes and refrigerators.
The idea came to the Lions after
reading in the papers where so many
youngsters died from suffocation
while playing “hide and seek.”
. Bert Tarver, chairman of the
Lions Health & Safety committee,
asks that every person who has such
)m old box or refrigerator lying use
)le- around the house to destroy it,
or take the door off. It might, he
said, save the life of some little
child. He paticularly calls attention
to furniture dealers to destroy all of
‘\thc boxes before they are sent to
the junk yard. These boxes serve
only as death traps for children,
he said, and he hopes this campaign
will be the means of getting all such
jce boxes and refrigerators de
stroyed. |
TURKEY PRODUCTION
There has been a steady increase
in Georgia turkey production in re
cent years, but 1953 estimates indi
cate g;out fa 20 per cent Greduefion
over tof a year ago. oolrm
grew out 620,000 turkeys in 19562, as
compared with an average of :I—o“
170,000 per year during the pe
1940 to 1949,
COST OF FENCE BUILDING
A large part of the cost of build
ing a fence is involved in setting
posts and attaching the wire to
them. If untreated posts of mnon
durable wood are used, this J:
must be repeated every two to
vears. The coldsoak method of
treating posts is well adapted to on
the-farm use.
