tober 8, 1980 Fire safety tips Cleaning up helps prevent home fires Doris W. Thomas, Exten- sion Home Economist, has some tips for fire safety in the home. Dispose of ordinary trash and rubbish regularly. Keep attic, basement and closets free of accumulations of old clothing, mattresses, cur- tains, drapes, lamp shades, newspapers, and books. Hang up oily mops and keep oily rags in closed metal containers. Empty . ashtrays only when the contents are com- pletely cold, and use ashtrays large enough and deep enough to keep burning cigarettes from falling out. Have your heating equip- ment checked and cleaned at least once a year. Check appliance and ex- tension cords regularly for broken or frayed insulation and loose connections, and replace promptly when faulty. Store paints and solvents away from heat, and dispose of empty and nearly empty containers promptly. Keep garage free of clutter, and store gasoline only in tightly capped, clearly marked metal cans— never in glass jars or jugs. Keep the kitchen range clean of grease spatters; exhaust ducts should be cleaned out so smoke can travel through them easily; keep the fan and suction mechanism and other parts of the exhaust hood over the range free of grease. Include the outside as well as the inside of your property in the spring clean-up schedule, so dry leaves, grass and branches left after winter’s storms do not become fire hazards. Acting on these hints will mean more safety for your family.

[continued from back page] petrated by evil people for evil purposes. And no good can come of it. You are rallying your people for evil purposes. And no good can come of it. You are rallying your people for a dash to destruction, but you, Mr. Khomeini, will die in a warm bed from the worn out body of old age. You have no right to determine the fate of all the youth of Iran. Again recalling the Greek story of Pandora, Mr. Khomeini, there is still hope. As the poet says, “hope springs eternal.’”’ All great religions of the world teach that hope will sustain and inspire us. People come and go, as the poet says, “‘like footprints on the sands of time,”’ but life continues and hope remains. I believe that Allah talks to you, but I don’t think you hear him. I believe that He speaks of mercy and compassion and forgiveness and love and peace on earth. I appeal to you, Mr. Khomeini, listen closely for these things Allah is saying. There is still time, still hope. Make your peace with Him now. Return those evil forces to the box and clamp the lid on tight. Let my people go and bring an end to their nightmare of terror. Counsel with those who advocate peace in your country and your heart may yet be filled with light.
