Spilyay Tymoo Warm Springs, Oregon June 14, 1991 PAGE 7 Basc safety Once a fire starts in your home there are only two things to do. First, get out; then call the fire department from a neighbor'! home. Never go back into the burn ing building. If you think someone is trapped inside, tell the fire fighters. But there are a few simple mca lures that can prevent fires from ever starting, points out Mary Ann Sward, Oregon State University Extension housing specialist. Here are 10 suggestions: 1. Install and maintain smoke detectors. Smoke detectors warn of a fire in time to allow for escape. Install smoke detectors on each level of a home and out side each sleeping area. Test the devices according to the manu facturer's directions. Never bor row the batteries for other uses. 2. Plan and practice escaping. If fire breaks out you must get out fast. With your family, plan two ways out of every room. Fire escape routes must not use ele vators. Choose a meeting place outside where everyone will Involve spouse in household chores Many people who must balance a job and family decide they need more help with the work necessary to maintain at home. Just deciding you need more help doesn't mean youll get more help, especially if you're asking your spouse. Jane Hare, OSU Extension fam ily life specialist, says there are some methods that can lead to more cooperation. Be specific. Complaining about how being tired or how much work there is to do or even that you need more help probably won t work. Instead, pick a time when your spouse is likely to be receptive and say that you both have to come up with some way to divide the household chores be Protect yourself against theft The local police department can offer suggestions about, how to protect your property. Meanwhile, there are several things you can do. Outside doors should be solid core construction with a one-inch throw, dead bolt lock. There are dozens of 'inexpensive security devices at your local hardware store to secure windows. Outside the home, trim all trees, shrubs and bushes offering con cealment. Use warning stickers. Lock your doors and windows. About 44 of burglaries are "Let-ins" not "Break-ins." Don't leave the house key under the doormat or other obvious locations. Keep your garage door locked. When you are away, use timers for lights, televisions, and radios. Also have someone house-sit; open and close drapes, park their car in your driveway, and make your home look occupied. Ar range to have mail and paper delivery stopped, or arrange for daily removal from mailbox or porch. Place your valuables where they can't be seen from the outside. Install outside lighting to elimi nate dark areas around doors or windows. A 35 watt high-pres Recycle today Last year, one of the subjects identified by the Extension Ad visory Committee was recycling and "Responsible Lifestyles." We had originally planned a workshop on that subject but could not put together a date and meeting place. So we had decided to include up dated information in each Exten sion Connection. Consumer decisions affect the amount of material we have to discard. One-third of total waste consists of packaging. The average family of four pays $500 a year for packages and containers. Americans spent more for food packaging in 1 986 than the nations' farmers received in net income. One American consumes more paper in one trip to the super market than an inhabitant of Asia uses in several months. About 70 percent of all metal is used just once and then discarded. Oregon Washington State resi dents generate 2.4 pounds of solid waste every day or an average of 2230 pounds per year for each family. 20 of all food in America is wasted, and 23 of this waste takes place in the home. Use these tips and eliminate waste before it enters your home. Purchase items that are packaged in recyclable containers. Buy returnable containers whe never possible. knowledge necessary for fire prevention gather. Practice your escape plans at least twice a year. Give space heaters space. Keep Cortable and space heaters at last 36 inches from paper, cur tains, furniture, clothing, bed ding or anything else that can 7. burn. Never leave heat."'! unat tended. Caution children to stay away from them. Watch smokers. Carelessly dis carded cigarettes cause tens of thousands of home fires every year. Provide large, deep ash trays for smokers. Put water on the butts before throwing them in the trash. Before going to bed, routinely check under and around sofa cushions for smoldering cigarettes. 8. Be careful when cooking. Do not allow small children to be near the range. Keep pot handles turned inward so they won't be knocked over the edge of the stove. If grease catches fire, 9. slide a lid over the pan to smother the flames, then turn off the burner. Always store matches out of 5. 6. cause you can't do it all and still work, she says. Ask for suggestions and get some commitment before you end the conversation. Limit the discussion to 10-15 minutes. Set another time if you're not finished. Make a list and let the other person choose jobs. Include out side work like car maintainance and yard work. Keep track for a week or two of how often the jobs need to be done and how long they take. The goal is for the two of you to spend similar amounts of time on chores and to divide responsi bility for the tasks, the home econ omist says. Do big jobs together. If the two of you can share tasks such as meal preparation, meal clean-up, or sure sodium light will cost you just $7.00 per year to operate. When shopping, don't leave packages in plain view. Lock them in the trunk. Always lock all doors and roll the windows up tightly. Never leave your purse or wallet in plain view within the vehicle. Park in heavily travelled areas. When at home park in your locked garage. Don't allow a thief to threat en your life. Ta ke a few simple pre cautions to protect your home and family. For additional information or questions, call your local Police Department. For emergencies, dial 911. Simple measures can enhance, improve your general health In 1979, "Healthy People," The Surgeon General's Report on Health Promotion and Disease Pre vention was issued by the Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare. The report said that sim ple measures to enhance the pros pect of good health were within the grasp of most Americans. His list included: Eliminate cigarette smoking. Reduce alcohol misuse. for Earth's future agenda Recycle: -aluminum cans, foil -newspaper -glass bottles and jars -returnable bottles -"tin" cans -computer paper -cardboard -scrap metal -used automotive oil -car batteries -some plastics Compost your leaves, grass clip pings, yard waste. Mulch flower beds & gardens with grass clippings and leaves. Mulch conserves moisture and smothers weeds. If you don't have any use for compost or mulch, find out if you have a neighbor who does. Buy products with the least amount of packaging. Buy in bulk, or get the largest package you can use. Purchase products in reusable, refillable or recyclable containers. Choose durable goods over disposable. Use cloth diapers, real dishes, dish towels and lids instead of foil and plastic wraps. Use disposable products more than once. Share magazines and newspapers with a neighbor. Give away or sell old clothes, toys, furniture and bikes rather than throwing them away. Share your ideas about solving children's reach. In the hands of children, mutches or lighters are extremely dangerous. Teach chil dren from the start that matches and lighters are adult tools, not toys. Use electricity safely. If an ap pliance smokes or smells like it is burning, unplug it immedi ately and have it repaired. Check electrical cords and re place any that are cracked or frayed. Don't overload ex tension cords or run them under rugs or furniture. Fuses and circuit breakers protect the home from fire. Never tamper with or use improper fuses. Cool a skin burn by immediate ly running cool water on the wound for five to ten minutes, to case the pain. If the burn is blistered or charred, see a doc tor immediately. Know to stop, drop and roll. Even young children should know this rule: If your clothes catch fire, don't run! Stop where you are, drop to the yard work, you can enjoy each oth er's company w hile getting the job done. Set a specific time to get chores done. Agree to a specified time, such as Saturday morning, when you both will work on weekly chores such as vacuuming, laun dry, cleaning bathrooms and dust ing. If none of the preceding methods work, then try the following: Use consequences to make a statement. State that when you do not receive cooperation and you are overworked with demands at work and home, you do not have the time or energy for leisure activi ties you would both like to do. "Be careful that this tactic doesn't backfire," she says. The consequences must be the natural outcome of being overworked. You might decline to: entertain because the house is dirty and you're overtired; go to a social event because you're worn out; bake a favorite apple pie because you need the time to do the laundry. Spend money to hire cleaning help. Suggest using money that is ordinarilyspent on family leisure activities like movies, sports or vacation. Decide to work fewer hours outside the home. If your family really needs your full-time salary to meet basic necessities, this won't work for you. Also, if you enjoy working full-time, this idea won't be appealing to you, the home economist says. But for some, this compromise may help cope with home responsibilities. Moderate dietary changes to reduce intake of excess calories, fat, salt and sugar. Moderate exercise. Periodic screening for major dis orders such as high blood pres sure and certain cancers. Adherence to speed laws and use of seat belts. Five national goals were estab lished for 10 years. Each goal would reduce the preventable risks the solid waste problem with gov ernment officials and leaders, manufacturers and your friends.

These goals were sup ported by specific objectives. A new report, "Healthy People 2000," reviews progress in the past 1 0 years and sets some goals for the next 10. Not all the goals in "Healthy People" were met but significant progress was made on each, observes Margaret Lewis, Oregon State University Extension nutrition specialist. For example, one goal was to reduce infant mortality from 14 per 1000 live births to 9 per 1000 live births. Although the goal was nearly met in 1989 at 10 deaths per 1000 live births, our infant mortal ity rate is still higher than most developed nations, she notes. The three goals set for the year 2000 are: increase the span of heal thy life for Americans; reduce health disparities among Ameri cans; and achieve access to preven tive services for all Americans. To accomplish these goals there are specific objectives in 22 different areas including physical activity and fitness, nutrition, en vironmental health, clinical prev entive services and surveilance and data system. "Healthy People 2000" offers a Dress like A noted fashion editor com mented, "Dressing like a million is ultimately a state of mind. It can make you feel competent, confi dent and secure. It can allow you to project the image that you get what you want, while letting you look like you already have it!" To look like a million when you dont have a million: 1. Put together an outfit in one color or shades of one color. Less expensive items look more costly w hen they match. If you plan well around a single color, your good silk scarf or handsome belt will go with everything. 2. Beware of impulse buying.

It is the product of a national effort, involving profes sionals and citizens, private organ izations and public agencies from every part of the country. The first proposed dietary guide lines were listed in the 1979 report. They were developed to change our eating habits and lower the risks of some chronic diseases. They focused attention on the need to decrease our fat and satu rated fat intake and to increase our consumption of fruits, vegetables, and grains, Lewis said. "Healthy People 2000" reports the progress made and sets goals for the next decade. For example, in the past 10 years we have lowered the average intake of fat from 42 of calories to 3 but the goal for 2000 is 30 of calories or less. There are 21 nutrition objectives that will assist in completing the broad major goals for Americans. They highlight the need for increas ing the intake of vegetables, fruits and grain products, and reducing the intake of fat and saturated fat. Weight management is a goal, as is you have often leads to costly mistakes. 3. It you are going to splurge on one item, make it the right one. For women, it's best to splurge on a sweater, blouse or jacket to add an expensive look to less pricey skirts or pants. If men splurge on one item, it should be a sport coat that will add an expensive look to ordi nary trousers. 4. Upgrade a whole outfit with one item of top quality. This might be a strand of pearls, a handsome leather belt, a special silk tie or scarf accessories that are not trendy, but will always be in style. 5.

Along with goals for individual action, there are also goals for industry action including nutriticn labeling, reduced fat and saturated fat processed food products, school meals, home-delivered meals for older adults, nutrition education in schools and work-site nutrition weight management programs. Recommendations also include nutrition assessment, counseling, and referral by the medical profes sion. Finally there is a strong recom mendation about the importance of ongoing studies on the nutri tional status of Americans and research to determine the affects of poor nutrition on the health of individuals at various ages. "Yes, we have the world's most abundant food supply but to assure a long and healthy life, we must learn how what we eat affects our present and future health," Lewis stresses. "Then we must put into action what we have learned. What is most apparent is that the effort must be truly a collective one.

Women who in vest in a basic black suit can change it with a variety of scarves and blouses. For "after five" wear, add a camisole, a small clutch purse, and dressy shoes. For men, a solid or pin-striped suit in a dark blue or gray can provide the basis for a business wardrobe that says, "Ex ecutive suite, here I come" Dress the suit "up" or "down" by varying the style and color of the shirt you wear with it, and the tie you select (red, yellow, and blue are still "power" tie colors, and conserva tive stripes are still the safest patt ern choice for anyone w ho wants to look like boardroom material). 1
