That's the statement from Pr. Harold M. Erickson, -"He health officer, in connection with Ore gon's observance of Child Safety Week in an attempt to reduce the state's toll of 172 fatal child ac cidents during 1953. The state health officer point ed out that accidents now kill more children in Oregon than all the communicable diseases com bined and emphasized that "most of these" could be pr. vented if parents would practice and teach good safety habits. Pr. Erickson pointed out that accidents in and about the home top all other classes of child ac cidental deaths, including traffic accidents. He urged that every Oregon parent take time this week to remove potential killers and cripplers in the home area. He said that free home safety check lists are availaw,e through county health department offices. Among the common safeguards listed by Dr. Erickson were: 1. Keep insecticides, medicines and cleansing agents in a secure ly locked cabinet out of the reach of children. 2 Turn all pot handles to the back of the stove. 3. Keep fire arms in a locked cabinet 4. Make sure that you can see where children are when backing the family car out of the garage. 5. Make sure electric cords and appliances are in good condition, and keep unused electric outlets covered. . Make sure that baby's toys do not have loose eyes, buttons, .or stuffing which could strangle a child. 7. Never leave a baby any time In his bath even for "just a mo ment." 8. Keep knives and tools out of the reach of young children. 9. Keep fireplaces screened and do not allow very young children near. Dr. Erickson emphasized that children should receive complete protection for the first year or so of their lives, and that parents should then begin to relax the protection and increase the child's safety education.

Shown Toxins Schine's Appearance Before Probe Committee Tempered By Military Training Effects By ARTHUR EDSOV AP Newsfeatures Writer WASHINGTON :P In one re spect at least. G. David Schine is a very model U. S. Army pri vate. The young man about whom so much has been said during the Ar my - McCarthy hearing Thursday made a sudden, unexpected ap pearance before the Senate com mittee he once served as an un paid consultant. And from the first question put to him will you please state your name? he showed the effects of his brief military training "Gerard David Schine, sir," he said. Carefully Adds "Sir" From then on, on almost every question asked. Schine carefully added the "sir." All told, he "sirred" the committee more than 300 times. It's ironic that this polite appear ance should have been made Thursday. For it produced some of the roughest language used yet in the six-day hearing into charges 1' by Army officials that Sen. McCarthy iR-Wis' and aides used pressure to get favors for Schine and 2 by the McCarthy camps that Army officials used blackmail tactics to halt an inquiry into al leged subversives in the Army. Until Thursday, both the Army counsel, Joseph Welch, and McCar thy have been gracious and defer ring to Ray Jenkins, the special counsel who is supposed to be un prejudiced, whose lone function is to dredge out facts. McCarthy Insists But Thursday afternoon McCar thy insisted that Jenkins was going IDEAL COUNTRY FUEL CAPITOL LUMBER CO. 2860 N. Chny At.

Jenkins denied he had done any bragging about his lawyering abili ty. He said the only thing he bragged about was his intention to be fair, to get at the truth, "let the chips fall where they may." And he said he wasn't badgering here he dropped his voice to a sweet, unbadgering whispering. In the morning, while Secretary of the Armjr Stevens was on the stand, it had been Welch who was complaining. Put Gently Only he put it more gently than McCarthy did, in this way: "I am informed, Mr. Jenkins, that you have tried many murder trials and with great success, but may I remind you. my friend, that this is not a murder trial, and that you are examining the Secretary of the Army. "It may feel good to me when you jump down the throats of the witnesses on the other side, but I beg of you, this witness is entitled, I think, to at least ordinary cour tesy. "In your zeal, which I admire, I think by the tone of your voice you may convey an impression to the country that you would not wish to convey." Since Schine's appearance had not been announced in advance hel created a stir from the moment he walked into the room.- Schine is a tall, good looking blond. Other witnesses have brought along volumes of reference material. In his hand he carried but one thing, his service cap. But even in the hubbub his polite ness never escaped him. Jenkins asked Schine if he felt CLEAN EFFICIENT ECONOMICAL he had been abused during the questioning. Schine didn't answer that ques tion directly for a moment, but he finally said, polite as ever: "If you are abusing me, sir, it doesn't bother me." MORE CARS NEW YORK (INS) The U.

INDEPENDENCE AT SEA (INS) All I can say is that it sure was a sorry showing for the South. Why it was enough to make the blood of a Daughter of the Confederacy run plumb cold. Maybe it's because it was all thought up by a damyankee in the first place and happened on board this ship which runs out of New York City, but anyway here- is what happened. The other day we were sailing south along the coast of India when one of the members of the cruise staff from a northern state came up with some his torical data. He said we were going to pass an island called Anjengo just off the Indian coast where that great naval hero, Admiral Raphael Simms, took the battleship Ala bama for refitting after he had sunk practically the whole north ern navy during the War Be tween the States. Ceremony Suggested As a fitting memorial to this man, he suggested that some of our boys and girls might want to conduct some sort of ceremony. They gave us so little time to pre pare that we couldn't have pos sibly done justice to the occa sion. It was just about sunset when they told us we were just about abreast of the island and should gather on one of the upper decks to pay our respects to the late Admiral Simms. The captain of the ship, a man named Switzer from Connecticut, had come up with a lot of ex cuses about reefs and tides and currents and fishing nets so we weren't able to get in close Dixie Captain enough to shore to see the island itself. Several of us pointed out that a seaman of Simms stature ap parently didn have any trouble sailing right 'up to that island with the Alabama, but nobody paid us much heed. They got the band out for us all right, but I'm sorry to say that only about half of our boys and girls even showed up for the ceremony. Stood Around Watching As if that wasn't bad enough Mme. Chiang In Country for Medical Aid TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. Ufi A smiling Mme. Chi ang Kai-Shek, wife of the President of Nationalist China, arrived from the Orient Thursday night by Na tionalist air force plane. She left immediately by auto for San Francisco, where she will un dergo medical treatment. As she stepped from a C54-type transport. Mme. Chiang was pre sented a bouquet of roses by T. K. Chang, Chinese consul general and greeted by other members of the Chinese community in San Fran cisco. Mme. Chiang will undergo treat ment of a recurring skin ailment at Franklin Hospital in San Fran cisco, where she underwent treat ment in 1952. No pictures or interviews were permitted. A large group of Air Force po licemen kept reporters and photo graphers from the landing area. From a distance, Mme. Chiang ap peared lively and in good health. On India Trip you should have seen the dam yankees that came out and just stood around foolish-like watch ing. They told us we were going to have a wreath to fling over the side while the bugler played "Taps." As it turned out they didn't even have any real flow ers for us, just some little old crepe paper ones which they gave to some of the girls. Exactly when we were oppo site where tfiey saia the island was, they blew the fog horn three or four times as a signal to throw the flowers. Then, with those Yankees gig gling and talking in the back ground, a fellow with a cornet played "Taps" so quiet you could hardly hear him. The final crushing blow came when the band played "Dixie" and there were only about a doz en or so of us standing at atten tion and singing. 1 quit myself during the second chorus when I looked around and noticed the man singing the loudest came from New Jersey.
