EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Wed. Aug. 22. 1962 Pig 10 Householders Reject 'Safety First' Warnings NEW YORK flJPIi There's no place like home lof landing in the hospital. Statistically, accidents in the home outnumber any other types of nonfatal mishaps, re ports the National Safety Coun . cil. The number has shown a gradual decline through the years. But one insurance com pany study indicates the Ameri can householder is still a clumsy oaf. safely campaigns notwithstanding. More women than ever be fore are taking .tumbles over rugs and on floors, steering into Printed Patten iH wtrW in. Ihe furniture and the wall- mounted can opener, falling : down stairs, walking through glass doors. "The causes of accidental in juries of today as compared with 30 years ago indicate that the space age American is be coming a pathetic tanglefoot." said researchers for the. Travel ers Insurance Companies. Travelers took the years 1931 and 1961 for comparative pur poses. It said that in '31. 30 per cent of all its policyholders who collected for mishaps were vic tims of home accidents. By 1961, the percentage had jumped to 44. The insurance company re searchers found that 16 times as many of its policyholders fell on floors and rugs in their homes last year as did in 1931, most of them female. Spike heels maybe? Inanimate objects appear to be fighting back. Six times as many policyholders collided with furniture, television sets, wall-mounted can openers and the like. Twice as many fell down stairs. Entering and exiting seems to present problems too, for twice as many managed to get caught in doors and windows in 1961 as in 1931. One woman policyholder in Florida moved into a new house with a glass wall opening onto a patio. She walked out to the patio one day right through the glass. Bills for medical care ran to $2,785 said the insurance firm. And one policyholder com plained that his false teeth bit him. He'd taken them out of his mouth because they were uncomfortable, tucked them in to a rear pocket, and forgot about them until he sat down. 'Dear Abbyf Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: How long does it take for a grown man to forget where he went to college? A friend of mine is almost 50. and two minutes after he meets someone he manages to get into the conversation that he went to Harvard. Now 1 know lots of men who went to Harvard, but they don't mention it 25 times a day. It so happens I never went to college and my income is easily double that of my Harvard friend which proves you don't have to go to Harvard to he a success. What can I say to this Harvard grad to let him know he sounds ridiculous? WOODROW WILSON HIGH, 1933 HEAR W. W. '33: Persuading a 50-year-old man that he "sounds ridiculous" is a hopeless task. It's just another case where the hoy got through college but college never got through the boy. Forget it. DEAR ABBY: Nease help settle a family fight: I have two sisters. They got into a real battle and are not speaking lo each other. I steered clear of the fight and am friendly with both of them. One sister says that if 1 continue to be friendly with the one SHE isn't speaking to, our friendship will have to come to an end. I don't think this is right. What do you think? THE SISTER IN THE MIDDLE DEAR SISTER: It's your sister's privilege to fight with whomever she chooses, but she has no right to force you to non speaking terms with her enemies. DEAR ABBY: My husband is the world's dullest man. Whenever we go lo a friend's home he goes off by himself and listens to the radio. Or else he just sits and talks to the dog! He never has a thing to say. I try to draw him into the conversation and he answers with a YES or a NO. What does a wife dow hen she is married to a moron like this? BORED AND EMBARRASSED DEAR B AND E: Who picked this moron? And why? CONFIDENTIAL TO HIGH POCKETS: The guy who always winds up with the check is not necessarily a "good kid." He is more of a goat.
