WIPE IT OFF
"Grease, fqpd and liquids spilled
on the kitchen floor, and using
rickety chairs and stools to stand
on to reach high places, are the
main causes, of falls in . the
kitchen. Playsafe, wipe up spills
as soon as they are made; use a
sturdy kitchen stenladder when
you have to reach a high shelf.
USE IT OFTEN
The more food that "goes
through" the freezer, the less op
erating cost there will be per
pound. Families who arrange to
"live out of" their freezers as
much as possible, and thus have
a rapid turnover of frozen food,
make the most economical use of
this appliance.
