into camp so that you won't have to
depend on an unpasteurized supply.
Take a small bottle of laundry bleach
so that you can purify any doubtful
drinking water; three drops to the
gallon will suffice, and let this stand
for half an hour. You will be better
off to be mighty thirsty than to drink
from a creek or some old well which
might be contaminated.

Choose your clothing to suit the
climate and the type of hunting you
intend to do. Take comfortable hunt-
ing boots and plenty of socks. Wear
red but not white. Be sure to take
adequate bedding; the nights are
pretty cold at this time of year-

You might take along a first-aid kit
so that you can treat small blisters,
burns and scratches which could
spoil your fun or cause difficulty later.

Keep yourself dry, even to the point
of drying your clothes by an open fire
if you get soaked far from the camp.
If you get lost at night, build an open
fire and rest until dawn. Do not ex-
haust and chill yourself by aimless
wandering. Climb trees only in an
emergency, you never know when
somebody might mistake you for a
bear. Watch your footing; look out
for that branch or pot hole ahead.

It is always a good thing to know
how to stop bleeding by placing pres-
sure on the artery above a serious
wound, and how to get to the nearest
doctor just in case.

If you follow these tips and re-
member the ten suggestions for safety,
you should have a good hunting trip.
Of course, it’s important to have fun,
and it’s important to get game, but
it’s more important to get back. * *

Grade crossing tip: Figure the loss
before you cross.

ACCIDENTS COST $14,000. MINUTE

ACCIDENTS KILL
people than any disease.

One out of 15 persons are disabled
one or more days a year by accidents.

Accidents are costing the United
States $14,000 a minute around the
clock, day in and day out.

Such inescapable facts as those
were discussed by 12,000 safety experts
and others concerned with accident
prevention at the world’s biggest
safety convention in Chicago.

The huge drain of accidents on the
nation’s mobilization of manpower
and material was in the minds of the
delegates as they discussed prevention
methods in 200 sessions during the
five-day convention.

Eighty pages of closely printed pro-
gram were required to list convention
subjects ranging from rocket engines
to throw rugs, and wonder drugs to
drunk driving.

All regions of the United States,
Canada and some foreign countries
were represented in the throng which
crowded four of Chicago’s largest
hotels to learn the latest techniques
and methods in traffic, industrial,
school, home and farm safety.

“The National Safety Congress is
not a glamor convention,” said Ned
H. Dearborn, president of the Coun-
cil. “No uniformed parades, no
bands or trick cars or beauty queens.
But I know of no meeting anywhere
which has had more influence on the
day-to-day security and happiness of
everyone in America.

“Many of the things that seem com-
monplace today—the guards on an
industrial machine, the traffic signal
on the corner, safety lessons for school

children—have been introduced or
perfected at the Congress.”

A highlight of the week’s activities
was the annual banquet attended by
2,000 delegates in the grand ballroom
of the Stevens Hotel Wednesday eve-
ning, October 18. Dr. Clarence C.
Little, director of the Roscoe B. Jack-
son Memorial Laboratory of cancer
research at Bar Harbor, Me., and
former president of the Universities
of Michigan and Maine, will speak.

Wallace B. Phillips, British in-
dustrialist and executive committee
chairman of the Royal Society for the
Prevention of Accidents, came from
London to keynote the annual meet-
ing of council members which opened
the convention. * *

Records of the National Safety
Council show that about 1,200 per-
sons drown in each of the months
of June, July and August. When you
get in the vacation swim, be careful.
