Farm Home Isn't

COLLEGE STATION, Aug. 9
—The farm home is not the saf-
est place on the farm. More
farm accidents occur in the
home than in any other single
place on the farm and the kitch-
en ranks as about the most dan-
gerous room in the house. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Bernice Claytor,
extension home management
specialist of Texas A. & M. Col-
lege, there are several reasons
for the high accident rate in
kitchens, but few outrank care-
lessness and household disorder.
She points out that a well kept
kitchen, one that is provided
with plenty of convenient cabi-
net and storage-space,- is most
likely to be a safe room. How-
ever, a poor job of housekeep-
ing can nullify the safety fea-
tures of even the best planned
and constructed kitchens. A fire
caused by an explosion, spilled
hot grease cr from the use of

worn-out electrical equipment or
wiring will not only ruin the kit-
chen and probable the ontire
home but may even result in
death or serious injury to the
housewife and other members of
the family.
In the well-managed home, all
gas connections are checked reg-
ularly. Kerosene is not used to
j start fires in wood and coal
I burning stoves and all electrical
equipment and wiring is kept in
good condition. Children are not
permitted to play with matches
and care is exercised at all times
by the homemaker when she is
cooking.
Many accidents also occur on
stairways and steps. The Na-
tional Safety Council reports
I that most home accidents, 24
| percent, result from falls. Faulty
j steps should be repaired and all
steps and stairways should be
| well lighted. Scatter rugs should
I never be placed at the bottom
j nor the top landings Of the stair-
way and loose or frayed run-
I ners cn the stair steps are al-
j ways dangerous.
The stairway treads should all
be of the same width and risers
the same height, says Mrs. Clay-
tor, and the treads should not be
polished. It's always dangerous
to climb or descend stairs or
steps when both arms are loaded
and it's doubly so when the
stairs and steps are cluttered,
great number of home accidents
great numer ot home accidents
can be presented and at the
same time fire hazards can be
removed from the home if
homemakers will dispose of
worn out appliances, make re-
pairs to equipment every day in
the year.
Drinking Blamed In
One Traffic Death
Out Of Every Five
CHICAGO—To stay alive,
don't drink and drive!
That was the conclusion of the
National Safety Council after
its figures for 1950 showed that
in one cut of every five fatal
traffic accidents the driver or
pedestrian had been drinking.
The 1951 edition of the Coun-
cil's statistical yearbook, "Ac-
cident Facts," states that 17 per
cent of the drivers involved in
fatal accidents and 22 per cent
of the adult pedestrians killed in
motor vehicle accidents bad
been drinking.
