A REASON
What can you, as a friend, say to
help comfort a family in time of sorrow ?
Actually, what you do is often more
important than what you say. Some
times the most comforting deed of .a
friend is simply to listen attentively
to the bereaved's outpouring of painful
feelings.

Hot Weather—
Summer Has Its Share
Os Hazards To Health
Winter is commonly the time
for colds and flu and sneezes, but
there are some diseases and acci
dents that do their worst in hot
weather.
The American Medical Asso
ciation points out that some of
these are obvious. Sun strokes and
heat strokes are more likely to
occur in July and August than in
January. Too much exposure and
too much exercise in the hot sun
may produce sun stroke. Pro
longed excessive heat, either in
or out of doors, can cause heat
stroke. The symptoms are the
same and in either case it is im
portant to keep the victim cool
and call a physician at once. Heat
prostration also is caused by get
ting overheated, but instead of de
veloping a high fever, the victim
becomes cold and clammy. Prompt
medical attention and keeping the
patient as warm as possible are
important.
Sunburn has hospitalized
many a vacationer. Everyone
should know that gradual exposure
to the sun, beginning with a few
minutes a day, is the recommended
course. But many of us forget to
watch the clock and to take pre
cautions against sunburn in the
excitement of the first day at camp
or at the seashore.
The bacteria that cause diar
rhea multiply much faster in luke
warm foods, and it’s important to
keep cold foods in refrigeration
and to keep hot foods hot.
Swimming is fine exercise and
also is good for cooling off on a
hot day. Those with sinus or ear
troubles should be careful about
swimming. Swimmers should make
certain that the water is safe from
pollution. A clear mountain stream
may look attractive. It also may be
loaded with germs. And there still
are cases of typhoid and dysentery
from drinking untreated water.

STAMP OUT COLLISIONS!
Steel Barriers Will Save Lives
Richmond, Va.—(HK) —The
Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike is
the latest toll road to stamp out
head-on collision fatalities.
What is believed to be the na
tion’s longest single span of steel
box beam median guard rail is
now being installed on the 35
mile turnpike, a section of key
Interstate Highway 95 along the
Atlantic coast between the North
and the South, installation of the
entire system is scheduled for
completion late this year.
Ernest W. Farley, Jr., chairman
of the Richmond-Petersburg Turn
pike Authority, says that the basic
advantage of the tough new gal
vanized steel box beam median
guard rail is that when it is struck
by an out-of-control vehicle it
separates from the weak posts
upon which it rests and "eases”
the car along its proper path,
meanwhile slowing it down grad
ually at a rate tolerable to a hu
inan being. The beam and the
posts are not fastened together
since the posts merely fit into
slots on the under side of the
beam. When completed, a series
of individual box beams are
bolted securely together so that
they act as a single unit. Thus,
when the beam is struck, the
energy of the impacting vehicle
is absorbed by as much as hun
dreds of feet of beam and posts.
Practical experience with the
box beam guard rail on an 8.44
mile section of the Turnpike in a
seven month period has shown
that in 25 collisions there was no
instance in which a vehicle went
through the median rail In near-
Dalton, for carpeting, bedspr
eads, and allied lines. The sales
of this operation have now in
creased to the largest per month
in the history of the operations
of the company.
Other lines anticipated may
include industrial and real es
tate development in the State of
Georgia
