F R I DA Y , AUGUST 13, 1837. T H E B O N N E V I L L E DAM 815 Children Take Lessons in Swimming Retail Shop Workers To Form Own Local ♦ ♦ Home Electrical Equipment in The Hood River County Swimming j School started on its fifth week of j instruction Monday, August 9. So Need of Care far this year there have been 410 girl and 405 boys from all parts of the county registered and receiving free instruction. The last two weeks of instruction will cover breast stroke and both elementary and racing backstroke. This type of all-around practice in all strokes makes for a better versed swimmer when he received the ben efit of technique in all methods of progress through the water. Swimmers and beginners’ tests will be given in the near future and un doubtedly there will be many who have learned to swim well enough this year to pass the beginners’ tests which calls for a jump into water over the swimmer’s head, and a swim of 25 feet and return without stopping. This is rather hard for a beginner to accomplish, as the nec essary part is leveling off after jumping in and turning. Life-saving tests will be given the last week and there will probably be about 25 or 30 junior life savers pass their tests this year. A water carnival is planned for August 22, to serve as a grand fin ale to the swimming school. Further details concerning that will be an nounced later.

FREE DEVELOPING at Keir's Drua Store 24-Hour Service ♦ Well - kept Household electrical equipment not only will pay good dividends but will be a decided safety factor as well, says Harry L. Garver, investigator in rural electrification at Washington State College. Or course, light bulbs cannot be repaired, but they can be kept free from dust. When one uses dusty and dirty lamps, he pays for light that he does not get. Burned out or broken lamps can be replaced at a small cost. Few homes are adequate ly lighted at best, and nothing is gained by failure to replace burned out lamps. Sooner or later the cost of a lamp that is not replaced must be paid by caring for worn out eyes. Although an extension cord is a simple piece of equipment, it needs a certain amount of care to enable it to operate at highest efficency. Extension cords should never be strung over nails or left to lie even on dry floors, much less wet ones. Extension cords are designed to hang free and for temporary use only, yet one finds them strung along the walls, lying on basement floors, or pinched in door jams. The use of cords in this way constitutes a real fire hazard. When an extension cord becomes broken or the insulation injured, it should be repaired at once. The ends of the broken cord should be scraped clean, without being cut into and should be twisted together as tightly as possible without stretching. The joint thus made should be suf ficiently strong to carry the mechan ical strains that áre apt to occur on the wire. It should then be soldered so that the joint will be permanent and also to give the two pieces good electrical contact. In the soldering of wires use a flux that will not corrode the wire or injure the insul ation. Many soldering fluxes contain chlorine and will harm both the wire and insulation if allowed to remain on them. The joint should be taped with a rubber splicing compound to the thickness of the original insula tion and then covered with friction tape to hold the splicing compound. Caring for Older People In taking care of an elderly per son, be sure to watch his diet as carefully as you would that of a baby. Older people require easily digested foods. A lessening in the amount of meat is urged and more green vegetables to take its place. Give all the fruit and milk they will eat.
