SAFETY, a crop to be harvested on every farm and in every home, is receiving special attention from more than one-half million 4-H Club members taking part in the 1955 National 4-H Safety Program. As a part of their 4-H Club work, members in all 48 states are correcting hazards such as those seen in the above drawing. They are attempting to reduce the Nation’s annual farm toll of 14,600 livest, 1,250,000 injuries, and an economic loss of about a billion dollars. 4-H’ers, working as individuals or in groups through their local clubs, conduct surveys to locate hazards, then report the unsafe conditions. To assist the Cooperative Extension Service in conducting the 4-H Safety Program, General Motors has just published a new "4-H Safety Handbook for Local Leaders," which provides how-to-do-it ideas for carrying out successful safety programs. Copiers of the manual will be distributed to volunteer 4-H leaders through County Extension Officers. In addition, GM provides incentives in the National 4-H Safety Awards program which is arranged by the National Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work. Medals are made available to four county winners; an all-expense trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. State Controller Gives School Factors Robert C.

Not a cliché in a Fewer An occasional little click—that's all you'll hear of the old "clickety-clack" as you glide over stretches of new continubus welded rail on the Santa Fe. And these stretches will be growing longer and more frequent on Santa Fe. For we're laying more all the time — 103 miles of it this year. In fact, we're using a new electric welding process (for the first time by an American railroad) to help bring Santa Fe's new smoother ride to more people, more goods. But that's only part of the story. Just as a railroad is no better than its track, track itself is no better than what's underneath it—the roadbed, the ties, the ballast. So we've been busy with new machines even now. The Controller States School Facts Mart C.

Starching Care For Household Cotton! It's time to use those easy-to-care-for crisp cotton curtains and slip-covers. For an extra-crisp finish on your curtains or for just a light starch finish in your cotton silipcovers, use economical Argo Gloss laundry starch, a favorite with homemakers for generations. Starch makes all household washables easier to keep clean and easier to launder. For Extra-Crisp Starched Curtains 1. Mix ½ cup Argo Gloss-laundry starch with 1 cup cold water until smooth and creamy. 2. Add 2 quarts rapidly boiling water, gradually, stirring constantly until starch thickens and clears. 3. Dilute with 2 quarts cool water. Strain and use warm. (For less crisp finish dilute with 4 quarts water.) Make all curtains in one room uniformly crisp by preparing enough starch to cover them all at one time. Dip and squeeze curtains several times, then squeeze firmly or wring lightly to remove excess starch. Dry, sprinkle, wrap and hold until evenly moist all over before ironing (about 2 hours) or dry only to ironing dry and iron. Starch Soaves In Your Washer For Extra-Crisp Starched Curtains 1. Mix ½ cup Argo Gloss laundry starch with 1 cup cold water until smooth and creamy. 2. Add 2 quarts rapidly boiling water, gradually, stirring constantly until starch thickens and clears. 3. Dilute with 2 quarts cool water. Strain and use warm. (For less crisp finish dilute with 4 quarts water.) Make all curtains in one room uniformly crisp by preparing enough starch to cover them all at one time. Dip and squeeze curtains several times, then squeeze firmly or wring lightly to remove excess starch. Dry, sprinkle, wrap and hold until evenly moist all over before ironing (about 2 hours) or dry only to ironing dry and iron. Starch Slipcovers In Your Washer For an easy, quick, light starching job on your cotton slipcovers, let your washer do the work. 1. Follow 1 and 2 in recipe above, doubling amount starch and cold water. Do not dilute with cool water. 2. Add warm starch solution to third or last rinse in washer and continue to end of cycle. *If automatic washer has overflow final rinse, turn back to "wash" period, with "warm" temperature setting, add starch solution, complete wash cycle and then skip to final spin. Quarter-mile lengths of welded steel rail curve around a foothill like wire cable. Not a "clickety-clack" in a carload A Fe's new continuous welded rail... Fewer joints mean a smoother ride for you with new improvements here, too. For instance, our own specially-devised ballast "dry cleaner." This unique machine cleans our ballast, keeps it more resilient so the track lies flat and even. And today we're replacing old ties with longer and stronger new ones—specially treated to stay strong and sturdy for 30 years and more. Day after day, something new is being done to make "America's New Railroad" even newer and better. Santa Fe is spending many millions of earned dollars every year for new roadway and new equipment. And not one penny comes from the taxes you pay. SANTA FE SYSTEM LINES What about expansion In these quarter-mile rails? Near Newton, Kansas, where yearly temperatures vary from 20° below to 114° above, we laid a 5-mile experimental stretch of welded rail. Here we found that anchoring the rail to every other tie restricted expansion to the area between anchors. Thus, overall expansion was reduced to the merest fraction of an inch between rail ends. In other words, expansion is no problem whatsoever.
