'UL' Label Should Be On Appliance Gifts When the homemaker re ceives her White Christmas gift of an electric kitchen appliance, she should look to make sure a "L'L" label is attached. These two initials stand for Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. And the label means the pj-od-: uct is as reasonably safe .as science and engineering skill can make it. . To win the label, an appliance has' to pass a series .of exacting tests. The Laboratories want to make sure the appliance can be operated safely, that it won't create' a fire hazard or electric shock hazard. Manufacturers of portable appliances . furnish them with underwriters' "Flag Labeled"- cord sets and- power supply cords. A small blue or green paper label an the cord signi fies that the cord, connecting devices and their, assemhlv complies with "UL" safety re quirements. . Established more than 60 years, ago, the Laboratories are non-profit and sponsored by the National Board of Fire Underwriters.- It is your assurance of. safety for your whole family.

Wash With Sudsy Cloth When the range is cool, wash with a. sudsy cloth and finih with'a clean damp clo'th. A mild household cleaner may 'be used for stubborn spots. '."
