heroic Sir Launcelot (Hersch
el Mack). Nagging Queen

Housewives in Danger
. 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.
