HOW TO BE SAFE AT HOME
Every year, about 25 mil
lion Americans are injured
in their own homes! Many
of these accidents might
never have happened if a
few do’s and don’ts had
been adhered to.
Do fasten any electric
cords to the baseboards.
Left loosely on the floor,
cords can cause falls, under
rugs they can lead to fires.
Don't put pressurized
cans in the furnace or trash
burner where they may eas
ily blow up
Do tack down any throw
rugs that are not rubberized
on the bottom, and keep a
rubber mat in your tub or
shower
Don’t keep medicines
around too long, or keep
prescription medicines after
they’re no longer needed
Keep all medicines away
from small children and
don’t “prescribe" at home,
giving one person’s pills to
another who shows similar
symptoms

Do keep some salt, bak
ing soda or a foam fire
extinguisher in the kitchen

pan catches fire. Water will
only make things worse.
Don't walk on bare floors
with stocking feet, and don’t
wear smooth-bottomed slip
pers unless all your floors

Do rid the house, attic,
and garage of piles of old
newspapers, magazines, rags,
mattresses, and clothing,
which could cause a fire.
Don’t let your heating
unit go more than a year
without being checked and
fixed if necessary. At least
one fire out of every 10
begins in a defective heater..
Do get quality utility
tools such as those marketed
and guaranteed by the Ritco
division of The Ridge Tool
Company. They are not like
ly to slip from your grip
Don't let stairways stay
in the shadows Light them
from top to bottom and
provide a continuous hand
rail If your stairway is 44
inches or more wide, there
should be a railing on both
sides Keep storage items off
attic and basement stairs
and paint the top and bot
tom steps white for better
visibility

Consumers’ Corner
la Sewing Always Economical?
Making your own clothing ra
ther than buying them might not
be saving you any money.
If you are using a complicated
pattern and quality fabric, you
will save the most by making
this garment, since it would be
high priced in a store.
But, if you’re making a less ex
pensive, simple garment that
could easily be mass-produced,
such a shift, buying is probably
the better bargain.
The time you spend is import
ant to include in the cost of mak
ing a garment. So ’to figure the
real cost of making a garment,
keep track of the hours you
spend, multiply by the minimum
wage and add in the cost of the
fabrics, pattern and notions
After you consider your time,
the construction and fit of the
garment and the quality you
want, decide whether you should
sew or buy.
