Severe Sun Burn
Could Be Serious
“A severe sunburn may; be
just as serious as a fairly serious
burn by oil or fire,” states Dr.
Gordon Bates, General Director
of the Health League of Canada.
Sunburn is cited as being the
greatest single bause of disabili-
ty in industry during the sum
mer months,
A severe burn should be
avoided at all costs, said Dr.
Bates. An even tan looks be
coming, and may be beneficial,
but this should be obtained gra
dually in order to reap
benefits of the action
sun’s rays,
The actinic rays of
are those which produce
ricket-preventing vitamin
when they act upon the waxy
substance called cholesterol,
which is always present in the
skin.
An even tan may be obtained
easily and comfortably by ex
posure to strong sunlight in gra
duating doses. Exposure the first
day should be limited to a few
minutes, and that time doubled
the.next day, and so on, until a
protective tan is arrived at, Be
particularly careful when s
ning yourself near water, for the
added reflection from the sur
face of the water results in an
intensified glare.
These basic rules may only be
broken if one of the proven pre
parations for preventing sun
burn is used. Even these prepar
ations should not be relied upon
completely, to the extent of lying
in the sun for a whole day, for
instance, for the first time. The
sun can be friend or foe in the
summertime—it all depends
on moderation and in being
sible.
A tourist was crossing a pasture. “Hey, there,’’ he cawed
to the farmer, “is tins bull
safe?”“He’s a heck of a lot safer
than you are,” was the farmer s
reply.

Court Fines
Over $900
Over $900 in fines were levied
by Magistrate J. C. Dunlap in
Grand Bend and Sarnia courts
this week against liquor and
highway offenders at the sum
mer resort.
In the two days of court, 68
cases were dealt with, illustrat
ing the intensity of the drive by
Grand Bend provincial police to
“clean up” the holiday centre.
Two $100 fines were paid by
St. Marys and Galt men on
liquor counts. Stewart Road
house, St. Marys, was found
guilty of having liquor not ob
tained on his individual permit,
and William Scarland, -of Galt,
was convicted of having liquor
in a place other than his resi
dence. Several similar cases
were laid over for later courts.
Corporal Neil Chamberlain,
head of the detachment, reports
the drive against offenders is
paying off in a better behaved
crowd at the summer resort.
Over the weekend, despite a
heavy, influx of tourists, the
crowd was one. of the best be
haved in recent years, the cor-
ppral said.
He also stated there was a
decided decrease in the number
.of minor traffic violations since
the campaign started.
Since the new licencing by
law was passed, cottage owners
have given full co-operation in
refraining from renting to un-
desireables.
Lawn Red?.
Crabgrass!
While color in many things .
a matter of individual prefer
ence, Everyone agrees -that a
good lawn should be green. When
a lawn turns dark red or purple
in July, August and September it
is a sign that something is wrong
and that something is always
Crabgrass, says the Field Crops
Branch of the Ontario Depart
ment of Agriculture.
This grass is an annual, coarse
in texture and with broad,,short
leaves which, along with the
stems, turn purple in midsum
mer. The stems spread along the
ground, with roots, forming at
the nodes, and this crab-like be
haviour is responsible for the
name. The seed head is a group
of spikes radiating from the
stalklike fingers; so that it also
goes under the name “finger
grass”. A large amount of seed
is produced and this, along with
the habit of taking root at the
nodes of the stems, makes it
difficult to control.
Since Crabgrass
sun and hot dry
thrives vigorously
midsummer when „
grows more slowly. During this
season it is advisable to mow
a little shorter and collect the
cuttings to remove as many of
the seeds and seed stems as pos
sible. Wild white clover also
thrives well during - this period
and offers serious competition
to hot weather weeds. Where
Crabgrass is a problem, the ad
dition of white clover will help.
Care should be taken in water
ing as light frequent■ watering
benefits Crabgrass without help
ing the deeper rooted lawn gras
ses. Therefore, watering should
be done only when necessary and
be thorough enough to reach the
roots of the lawn grass. ’
When a lawn becomes infested
with Crab grass it is not neces
sary or even advisable to break
it up and reseed, as there is like
ly to be enough seed in the
soil to re-infest a new lawn any
way. The most practical method
is to take the Crabgrass out with
chemical treatment, then reseed
the bare spots in the fall.
Chemical treatment should be
applied before Crab grass has
headed, but at this stage it has
not turned purple and so is often
not noticed Until too late for
best results. In late June or early
July lawns should be examined
closely for this weed, the leaves
of which, are broader and a
lighter shade of gredn than lawn
grass. They are hairy, sharply
pointed and about one to one
and one-half inches in length.
Spray with one of the commer
cial Crabgrass killers according
to directions on the container, or
with ' potassium cyanate one
ounce in three gallons of water
on 400 square feet of lawn. Two
or morefl applications are neces
sary, at about two-week inter
vals.

Twister Hits
Dublin Area
A twister roared across north
eastern and central Perth county
Sunday afternoon, levelling
buildings, uprooting trees, and
causing damage estimated at
nearly a Half million dollars.
Fierce gales cut a wide
swath above Mitchell, dealing
heavy blows near Dublin, Monk
ton, Atwood and Listowel. Born
holm was also hit. Crops were
flattened.
Other Western Ontario centres,
including Mitchell and Brod-
hagen reeled under a back lash
of heavy rains and wind in the
worst storm of the season.
Headed For Cellar
A Dublin area farmer Sunday
night told how he and his family
planned to seek refuge in the
cellar when the storm struck
their barn, garage and concrete
pump house in turn and knocked
two chimneys from their home.
Thomas Dorsey said the noise
Was “terrible” as the wind blew
the big barn off its foundation
and left it in shambles. From
their farm home, the Dorseys
saw the garage and pump house
levelled in turn.
The twister mowed down “like
kindling wood” a row of tall
pine trees stretching from the
house to the barn bordering a
laneway.
Several pigs and three young
calves in the barn at the time
were unhurt, The Dorspys wefe
preparing to enter the cellar of
their home when the witid veer
ed away.
No Trace Of Building
Across from the Dorsey farm,
a portion of the roof was blown
off the home of James J. Kraus*
kopf and the windows of liis
home were smashed. His driving
shed roof was lifted by the Wind
and a colony house 20 feet from
his home disappeared without a
trace.
