Negro Home Demonstration News
By MBS. ONNIK S. CHARLTON, County Negro Home Eeoaomlea A Kent
All home demonstration clubs
are scheduling Clean-up Cam
paigns which will be climaxed
when they have their spring gar
den tours. Through our clubs
and community organizations in
formation is discussed and plans
made on how to get the job done.
It is timely to remind home
makers that serious home injur
ies are on the upward swing dur-'
ing “spring cleaning” time. This |
information comes to us from the I
Accident Prevention Section, N. j
C. State Board of Health. “Too
many homemakers try to hurry ]
up and get everything done in a j
single day, and sometimes the re
sult is a painful injury. Instead'
of planning to do the job in one
day, take more time and work in
a relaxed and easy manner.
Many house-cleaning jobs re
quire that somebody do some
climbing. If a stepladder is used,
be sure it’s fully spread and
locked, with all four legs rest
ing on a level base. The top of
the stepladder is not meant for
standing; there is danger of los
ing one's balance and falling. If
a ladder is used outside, don’t
forget that the ground may be
soft and the ladder will sink al
most by its own weight. Place a
board beneath the ladder feet to
keep it from tipping. Be sure,
too, that shoes and ladder rungs
are free of mud, grease, or oil. i
When climbing, grip the ladder
firmly with hands and place feet
squarely on the rungs.
When washing the stairs, don’t
absent-mindedly leave the scrub
pail on one of the steps to serve
as a “booby trap” ready to catch
unsuspecting members of the
' family coming downstairs; the
1 same goes for brushes, mops and
; raes. When the task is done, re
move the tools promptly. Store
cleaning supplies neatly in one
place with all .household poisons
I safely out of reach of children*
and oily rags in airtight metal
j containers.
Don’t slight the attic in your
srring cleaning. Throw away all
old newspapers, magazines, brok
en furniture, old clothes, every
thing that is a potential fire It.iz-
dent of the Association.
The consultants for Friday af
ternoon’s session were alumni.
Many trades and professions
were represented.
A social hour was held which
climaxed the week’s activities.
Thanks are extended to all
who helped to make the week’s
program a wholesome and enjoy
able event.

Electricity is a good servant,
but learn to respect its power to
injure and kill as well as to
serve. Even good equipment is
subject to wear and human care
lessness. Don’t connect too many
appliances to an outlet. If a cord
or any part of an electrical ap
pliance happens to get wet, be
sure it is thoroughly dry before
turning on the current.
The football player wears
shoulder pads, helmets, and oth
er guards; the industrial worker
wears the proper personal pro
tective equipment for his partic
ular job. The smart homemaker
wears the right kind of clothing
for her job, too. Safe shoes are
absolutely essential; the shoe to
do the job is the one with a low
heel, good arch, and non-skid
sole. Streamlined garments are
more chic than frilly ones, as
well as less hazardous. Button
ed down the front dresses are an
noying to many homemakers
who find buttons getting caught
on drawers or popping off wher
they kneel to dust or get utensils
from lower shelves. Smooth
hems will eliminate potential
tripping hazards.
