to som ething unusual each time.
As another precaution against
disease coming onto your farm,
lx1 strick about letting poultry-
buyers en ter your chicken house
with dirty coops. You are asking
for trouble if you perm it them
to do so. Simply ask your hateh-
erym an to disinfect all of his
• quipment and shoes before he
culls or blood-tests your birds.
If a neighboring poultrym an has
I an outbreak on his farm , be sure
you stay away from his premises.
Also, present losses from rats.
Enforce a rigid program of rat
control. R ats can carry pullorum
disease, parasites, and other dam
aging diseases to your poultry
flock. And don't harbor sources
of infection, such as sparrows,
ducks, geese, stagnant pools of
w ater, stream s, bram ble patches
and dark places under buildings
where chickens are likely to con
gregate.

DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE
Why don’t drinking and driv
ing mix? The answers are no
longer guess-work, says the
AAA driver training' book,
“ Sportsmanlike Driving.” The
facts are now known.
Alcohol reduces reaction time.
A drinking driver is slow to
sense danger. He’s slow to re
act to it. He feels relaxed and
confident. He loses normal fear
of consequences.
He gaily
throws caution to the winds.
Oh, maybe he isn’t “drunk.”
Maybe he “had only a drink or
two” — like the late George
Brown!
“George insisted the left side
of the white line was ours,” said
his wife—in the hospital after
the accident. “He pulled right
in front of that big truck.”
Attention wanders; eye mus
cles misbehave; judgment goes
bad. Drinking drivers misjudge
their own and other cars. They
are hazy about critical things—
speed, distance, road width,
lanes.
There’s mighty good sense in
the old advice, “ When you drive,
don't drink; when you drink,
don’t drive.” It's taking a smart
detour around hospitals and
cemeteries!
