taiZiNjafS Leia (Mrs. Ken) Harkless quietly marked her 78th birthday on Friday, but flatly denied it when her jovial husband told the “little secret” to this column. Upon being pressed, she did admit to being 78 years young **l was going great until I was 85." she confessed, "but then I slowed down." Anyone who has watched the Harlilesses on the dance floor would be hard pressed to think either of them has slowed down one iota. After this little revelation. Mrs Harkless pointed out that Ken would be 79 on February 12 — Lincoln s birthday. Lakeland superintendent Don Arnold informed this column that we were in partial error last week in an item concerning the employment of a dean of students to relieve principal Henry Smith of a growing responsibility in the field of counseling. It was true, he confirmed, that the school corporation was seeking a man to handle the duties of a dean But no one has been considered at this point, and the post has not been offered to anyone as yet. The item we printed said the job had been offered to former Syracuse high school principal Robert Slavens. Mr. .Arnold said this was untrue. We printed this information on what we considered good authority, but feel a responsibility to note Mr. Arnold’s denial. We regret this inaccuracy and hasten to correct it.

30, tells of his birth in 1885 in a log house on a 700-a ere farm belonging to his great-grandfather in Holmes County, Ohio. Yeater gives a personal recollection of the events of the first five years of his life, of moving to Blachleyville, a small village with a population of less than 200, where their home was located on the north edge of the school grounds. In the middle of March, 1900, the family decided to move to North Dakota. That move was made in April. Waldo, however, was destine to spend the winter and spring of 1900-1901 in Missouri and recalls this in his book. He also recalls returning to Dakota, a blizzard of 1902. He tells about taking pictures, his school teaching career and of his college days. He tells of his marriage in Bismarck, N. D., on Christmas Day 1908 to Nellie Ebeling and ends the book with the family's move to Upland in 1911. Yeater helped to found the Farmer's Exchange in 1926 and served there as editor and publisher until 1962. Waldo is now working on a second book which he hopes to finish by August 1. It will deal with his "life with Nellie." She died in 1952. In 1958 he married the former Martha Carpenter and he is already planning volume 111 to be "Life with Martha." Besides writing Yeater likes to travel. He claims he and Martha have spent about half of their married life traveling. One of the places they have visited is Scotland where Alice lives with her family. All who know the Yeater family will want to be sure and read the book and learn of life at the turn of the century.

equipment.” There are three levels of electrical current that are dangerous. McKenzie continues. These are reaction current, let-go current and fibrillating current. Fibrillating currents are high enough that they cause an effect on the heart that is known medically as ventricular fibrillation. This essentially means stoppage of normal heart action and blood circulation.

“Once the human heart goes into fibrillation, it rarely recovers without assistance,” says McKenzie. “Thus, the important point to remember is that immediate and continuous artificial respiration is essential. If trained individuals are present, external heart massage should also be given. The only way to remain safe around electrical equipment is to practice safe techniques and procedures.
