Urbana, 111. - (CPD - Hurried homemakers in the kitchen may be headed down the road to the hospital, a University of Illinois safety specialist says. "Many women never drive over 35 miles per hour on the highway," O. L. Hogsett said, "but you'd never know it by the way they speed around the kitchen." Slow down and take it easy Rushing and carelessness causes many accidents, he added. . Using a box instead of a sturdy kitchen stepladder to reach top shelves is a quick ticket to a hospital. So is stor ing jars on a stair-way instead of buying shelving. Take time, Hogsett warned to turn handles of pans on the range out of the way so that you won't bumj them and spill hot food. Invest a little time and money in safety, Hogsett ad vised. The hospital bills you have by planning' for safety will more than cover the cost.
