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

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.
