“Don’t let that long week end coming up become a ‘lost weekend,’ ” was the advice today of Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner.
Cautioning Labor Day vacationers, Dr. Shanholtz said that “jvith a little advance planning . and a lot of caution your Labor Day weekend can be a gain to you in health and Relaxation rather than a loss in lives.” Some important health and safety rules for the September 3-5 holiday were listed . by Dr. Shanholtz to insure everyone a happy homecoming. His suggestions were:

Food poisoning can unexpectedly upset any vacation and the best prevention is to eat hot, freshly cooked or canned foods. Stay, away from high protein foods unless you know they have beeif properly prepared, covered from flies, and refrigerated. All milk and water should be safe to idrink and if there is any question whether the milk has been pasteurized and refrigerated or whether the water comes from approved sources, it is best to use bottled drinks while on the road.
2. Take sunbathing gradually, increasing the time of exposure to the sun each day. Too much exposure results in severe sunburns which require a physician’s care. Cloudy and windy days can also , cause much discomfort. Avoid sun' stroke or heat exhaustion by covering the head and avoiding unnecessary heat, too much eating or , drinking, and strenuous exercise.
