HOUSEHOLD POISONS MAY
CAUSE DEATH
Curiosity can be, a healthy
thing in a youngster unless your
home is a death trap. Families
are' being warned against care
lessly storing insecticides and
other poisonous chemicals within

them. Products that make your

death to your child; some poisons
act very rapidly.
About two persons out of every
100 who die accidentally in this
country every year die from tak
ing poison. And about every
fourth person who dies from ac
cidental poisoning is between the
age of 1 and 5 years.
Considering the safety of your
home, you might ask yourself:
Is your medicine chegt- where
your toddler can’t get to it if
you’re out in the yard hanging
clothes?
Is your garden and house spray
on the garage floor by the lawn
mower or up out of reach of
clutching fingers?
Are your household cleaners
such as detergents and bleaches,
lye, behzine, and kerosene on a
shelf safe from an eager, pudgy
hand?
Is your cellar, attic, or back
yard trash barrel free of half
full containers that could be put
to a little mouth
Are your food or beverage con
tainers used only for food or
beverages and'not fo poisonous or
inflammable substances?
Is there gasoline around that
may spread fumes or start fires 7
It pays to be cautious, because
somewhere in your home there
may be a jar, a bottle, a can, or a
box that contains a killer your
curious child can get into.

Q I purchased a new gas en
gine of a given horsepower and
price The dealer installed a
smaller and less expensive engine
on the tractor. He billed me for
the larger engine and I paid him
before I saw what he had pulled
me for Is it possible to have
him make this right 9 E.E Chris
tiana, Pa.
A. Yes, he must either replace
the smaller engine with a larger
one or refund to you'the differ
ence in price. If you specified a
given horsepower you should be
careful before you accept a less
er power even with a price ad
justment so that the tractor will
do the job you intend it to do If
the dealer does not make good,
you may sue him.

A. Yes. All privately owned

industry in the northeast.

man and turkey grower, was nam
ed the new “Poultry Woman of
the Year” by the Northeastern
Poultry Producers Council. She

Dehydro Frozen Peas Please Patrons,
Owners of Restaurants, Tests Show
Dehydrofrozen peas are highly
acceptable for use in restaurants,
and there is a possible large mar
ket for them through that chan
nel, according to a marketing re
search report issued today toy the
Agricultural Marketing Service,
U S. Department of Agriculture.
Dehydrofreezing consists of re
moving about two-thirds of the
water content from the peas and
then freezing them. The process
reduces the volume and weight of
the peas by about half, with sav
ings in transportation and stor
age costs. In cooking, the peas re
constitute to a condition compar
able with that of the fresh pro
duct The process was developed
by the Western Utilization Re

prominent m the Daughters of
the American Revolution, her
church and several lodges, as well
as in charity work.
As a poultry woman, she does
all bookkeeping work on-the fami
ly 105-acre farm and assists her
husband in caring for a hatchery
which produces 75,000 chicks
each year, and helping with 2,-
000 layers and 200 turkeys on the
farm. She was sponsored by the
Vermont Poultry Assn.
Mrs. £arey, runner-up in the
contest, helps oversee operations
of a large hatchery turning out
about 800,000 chicks a year. She
takes care of the payroll, helps
grade chicks and processes ord
ers.
Other contestants in the 14-
state event were Mrs. Eugene W.
Wright, Nasonville, R. I.; Mrs.
Shaeffer N. Falmer, Northumber

Frederick, Md.; Mrs. Celia M.

of the Agricultural Research
Service at its Albany, Calif., lab
oratory, and personnel of that di
vision provided technical aid in
the marketing study.
Most of the restaurant opera
tors in the experiment agreed
that dehydrofrozen peas are as
easy, or easier, to prepare for
serving as are canned or frozen
peas Savings in marketing costs
because of the reduced bulk and
weight of the product are more
than enough to offset the cost of
dehydrofreezing, the report indi
cates. A major benefit to restau
rant owners was reduction in
freezer space required to keep
the peas, as such space is usually
short in most restaurants.
