Great Glebe Garage Sale Find

So, Saturday I (along with the rest of the universe) headed out to the Great Glebe Garage Sale. I didn't really find anything of note, but one of my fellow translators, Michelle, came across a prime find.

It's a children's book called Safety Every Day circa 1940. Now, every day we read parts of this book to help us get through the day (and through life safely). This was very timely as we both just attended a course on Workplace Health and Safety.

Luckily for you, I am here to pass on these pearls of wisdom.

Today's helpful tip (this is a direct quote):

Flies Are Enemies

The board of health tries to teach people that flies often spread the germs which cause disease. You can help your board of health to make your town or city a safer place by killing every fly that you can. A good time to kill flies is in the springtime. If flies are not killed in the springtime, they will lay many, many eggs that will hatch out very quickly. The new flies will also lay very many eggs that will hatch out very quickly.


The next page also includes a picture of two kids sitting by a swimming pool and says:

"Come in, come in," says the swimming pool.
"I'm safe and clean.
I'm clean and cool."
P.S. The Board of Health says so.

Not only does it talk, it is also apparently best friends with the Board of Health. :o)
