The members repeated the 4-H pledge, followed by the roll call which was "What are the five sens- es and what parts of the body are involved with each?" The members learned about pro- tecting the senses by wearing head protection and three basic types of eye protection, sunglasses, goggles and welding shields. Hearing loss is not a part of growing old; it is caused by exposure to higher -than - average noise levels. Once the hear - in is damaged, it never recovers. Safety► footwear is essential for all types of farm work, including mowing the lawn. Chemical car- tridge respirators should be used when spraying and handling chem- icals. BLUEVALE CLUB The new project started Sept. 25 at the home of Joyce Johnston, with nine members present. President of the club is Julie Nicholson; vice-president, Jenny Beer; secretary, Carla Johnston and press reporters, Katie Skidmore and Marjorie Brewer.
