Since roses last for a number of years, steps should he taken to ensure that the soil is well- enrichr d with organic material such as well -rotted manure, if manure is unobtainable, dig m leaf mould or peat and sup- plement with an application of conpletefertilizer such as 5-10-15 or one of similar ratio, The rate of application for an average soil would be about pounds per 10iu square feet.

Some Work Savers Have Been Hazards Many of the inventions hroui;ht out in recent years to do jobs faster and more effic- iently have turned out to be hazards. The filmv plastic hags used t'v cleaners to keep garments dustless and mothproof were dis- e:o.tred by youngsters and used as space helmets. The thin fa- bric, sucked into a child's mouth as he inhaled, could suffocate a voungstL r. An industrial gun that fires nails or fasteners cleanly and surely into walls and partitions has sometimes gone far beyond the wall intended and has found a target in a human head. No tool or power equipment should ever be operated by an inexper- ienced worker. MAY I HANDLE YOUR PERSONAL INSURANCE NEEDS—FIRE, AUTO, LIABILITY?

Accidents Kill More Children Than Diseases If smallpox were to reap- pear in Canada and take the lives of 2, 200 children every year, people would be aroused to do something about it, said P. G. McLaren, general manager of the National Safety League of Canada. He pointed out that more than 2, 200 Canadian children under the age of 15 die each year as the result of ac- cidents, the majority of which are as preventable as smallpox. Several years ago when a Canadian child, returning from South America, was found to be suffering from a mild attack of smallpox, all contacts were examined, trains were stopped for a search of possibly infected persons, and the newspapers were full of the case. In the same year more than 2, 200 children died accidentally in Canada and an estimated 600, - 000 more were seriously injured without publicity, nation-wide preventive measure, or deep public concern. National Child Safety Day, being observed through Canada on May 3, is intended to focus attention on this ignored trap, gedy and stimulate preventive measures. "This is something that can- not be left to government ag- encies or voluntary safety or- ganizations like ours," Mr. Mc- Laren went on. "There is no vaccine which health depart- ments can give as in the caseof smallpox. Immunization mea- sures are in the hands of parents who can become better aware of the hazards to children and deal with them. Many hazards cannot be changed and children have to be taught to live safely in a dangerous world. The most effective education is good adult example in safe, re- sponsible living." G. A.
