Electrical Safety Very Important "The 'killers' and 'firebugs' hiding In electric wires must be kept under control," according to J. P. Choplin, oounty agent for the State College Extension Ser vice. "They may strike without warning. When used safely elec tricity brings happiness to the entire family and helps take the backache out of routine farm chores." The National Safety Council recommends three steps for elec trical safety. The first step is a safe wiring job. All wiring should be in spected by a qualified inspector certified by the power supplier. Circuits, outlets, and wire sizes should be planned to meet the needs without overloading. Tem porary wiring, unnecessary ex tension trrrtlsr ami other Mmtear ish installations should be avoid ed. The entire wiring system is no safer than it8 weakest link. The second step,is good electri cal appliances safely Installed. When you buy electrical appli ances look for the "UL" label signifying that the equipment has been tested and approved as safe by the Underwriters Labora t o r y. Stationary equipment should be grounded and may re quire jspecial circuit's for safe use. Portable equipment used in damp places should also be grounded. The third step is safe use and maintenance of the electrical sys tem and appliances. The best wiring a/nd equipment needs some attention now and then. Watch for broken insulators, frayed cords, loose outlets or switches and damaged or worn fixtures. Don't delay repair—it may cost a life. Be sure the elec tric current is turned off before any repair work is attempted. o Bizonal Germans negotiating trade pacts with other nations.
