*- •„ (/ -J Several money decisions made at Council meeting

budget for equipment maintenance had been set at $2200, and nearly $2044 has been spent already. Elnore Senff, Clerk-Treasurer, also wanted money to buy filing cabinets. Senff then stated that she has been able to accumulate $2300 by investing surplus

funds from the general Fund. The Council agreed to give the Police Department an additional appropriation of SI,OOO for equipment maintenance and to give the Clerk-Treasurer’s office an appropriation of S7OO for filing cabinets. After the Council had finished the Police Department and the Clerk-Treasurer’s requests, Street Department Superintendent Dennis Zent asked that the Council consider taking funds from equipment repair and place the money into a fund for miscellaneous garage supplies. The transfer was granted for the sum of S3OO. Zent also asked for SSOO from the Gravel Fund be transferred to tires so that the department can recap the front tires from the loader. Fire Department chief Gene Henschen says that his group will be investigating the possibility of replacing the emergency van with anew tanker. Henschen stated that since the EMS handles emergency calls, the van is not needed as often as it had been used in the past. Also, the department’s oldest tanker is beginning to show its age, according to Henschen. Henschen said that he believed that enough money was available for a down payment on a tanker. The Council also gave attention to money in a resolution to transfer appropriations within the Clerk’s office, the Board of Public Works and Safety, the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Emergency Medical Service Department and the Park and Recreation Department. An ordinance was passed to fix the amounts of bonds for the employees of the

j Health Tip j Gardening Almost every American home has its gardening “bug.” And even if you have none, you still have dozens of little jobs to do to maintain your yard and garden. Such activity can be an interesting as well as profitable form of recreation, and one which is comparatively safe. The American Medical Association points out that yard accidents occur more frequently to amateurs and younger ■ gardeners than to experts or adults. Gardeners who are aware of the potential dangers are less likely to get hurt. Select garden tools with care. Use the right tool for the job at hand, and keep tools in good condition, clean and sharp. Dull tools are unsafe. Broken tools are dangerous. Rusty tools are difficult to use. Store tools in a safe place. Lying on the ground or piled carelessly in a corner, tools can cause accidents. Garden spray materials are a useful adjunct in the unending fight against weeds and insects. Used properly, they need not cause health problems. The basic safety warning for insecticides and herbicides is—read the label, and follow the directions. The instructions will include an antidote or first aid if accidental poisoning occurs. Learn how to recognize poisonous vines and shrubs, so you can avoid them, or root them out. Insect bites are temporarily painful, but usually not serious. However, the sting of a bee or wasp can be fatal for someone who is sensitive to insect venom. Treat bites promptly. Cuts and scratches go along with gardening. Usually they aren’t serious if cleansed properly and disinfected. At the outset of the gardening season, it’s important to remember to take it easy. If you’ve done nothing more strenuous than sit by the fire most of the winter, by all means take it easy for the first few weekends. Give your muscles a chance to regain strength gradually, rather than trying to do too much the first day.
