? 1 Ptfc AJ-Th? Chroniclcf Thuriday, November 10. . ^BeP^ P'- r ? I I NEWS DIGEST National, state and local news Jackson Will Seek Presic WASHINGTON - The Rev. Jesse Jackson announced last week that he will seek the 1984 Democratic presidential nomination. Jackson, who heads Chicagobased Operation PUSH, is seeking to become the firsi black presidential candidate to be nominated bv a maior party. Although many black political leaders, including Coretta Scott King, have said they will not support Jackson, the civil rights leader said he is not discouraged. 44All candidates must get their votes from the open market, and none of the candidates have inherited any i ^ _ Holiday Honoring Dr. K last week a bill that made Dr. Martin Luther King Jr/s birthday a national holiday. Two hundred guests in the Rose Garden of the White House witnessed the bill being signed into law and their joined Coretta Scott King, the wife of the slain civil rights leader, in singing "We Shall Overcome." Reagan and Vice President George Bush shook hands with the guests - but did not sing. ?? ?"? ~T" ~ Reagan had initially opposed legislation to make King's birthday the nation's 10th federal holiday but South Africans Vote In ] SOUTH AFRICA ? South Africa's white minority voted nearly two to one last week for a new constitution giving limited government representation to Asians and people of mixed-race. ~~ ro _ . t * aoutn Aincan oiacks, nowever, will continue to be exctudcd under the controversial new constitution, but the outcome means future ^evolutionary refoims" for blacks, said South African Prime Minister Peter W. Botha. The nation's 22 million blacks are considered -citizens of tribal homelands and have no vote in South Africa. Opponents of apartheid, a systematic form of racial discrimination practiced by South Africa, said the new Fire Prevention 1 1 Keep Your Holida By THOMAS FL YNN Syndicated Columnist Unpleasant as it is, it's as inevitable as death and taxes that somewhere in America this Thanksgiving a holiday cook will be rushed to the hospital with serious burns ? just as it's inevitable that somewhere a houseful of revelers will be driven into the coldy by a kitchen-related fire. So be sure to cook and enjoy a Thanksgiving repast safely, if you're among those Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving at home. Why is Thanksgiving cooking more hazardous than at any other time? First, many cooks never prepare as many courses, in such quantity, as they do this time of year, causing extraordinary demands on cook and kitchen alike. Secondlv. at no time of vear i? th#? i?am r , ? - J ?' ? - ???v IXI WIIVI1 II1UI V crowded ? with self-appointed assistant chiefs, children, dogs...you name it. So, all the usual kitchen safety tips become doubly important as the holiday meal draws 1 near. Start making your kitchen fire-safe by declaring it off limits to the younger folk. There's confusion enough without the risk of tripping over a toddler you don't even know while carrying a hot saucepan. To doubly childproof the kitchen, cook with all pan handles facing inward and make sure appliance cords don't dangle over the edges of counters. This will make it> J I9S9 ^fThhi ? nm , - -?,^ t>- ?

Jackson shows substantial backing from blacks in the primaries and caucuses, drawing from 5 to 10 percent of\the voters. "Obviously, he's going to be a factor," said Sin.

Senate, which the lawmakers did despite stiff competition from Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C. The House passed the bill in August. ~ "In America tn^he 50s and 60srone of the important crises we faced was racial discrimination/' Reagan told the White House gathering last week. "The mui whose "words anthdeeds ... stirred the nation to the very depths of our soul was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." The King holiday will be celebrated the third Monday in January beginning in 1986. New Constitution constitution gives no real vote to the nation's 2.7 million persons of mixed-race and 800,000 Asians, and does nothing to advance the rights of the blacks. South Africa's white population numbers five million. ~ Despite harsh criticism from both white supremacists and liberals, for opposite reasons, Botha's National Party said the change was necessary for the country's white minority to counter international criticism and to continue to dominate. The constitution takes effect next year and will create chambers in Parliament for mixed-race and Asian legislators. The current 166-member white chamber will remain the same. \ \ y Merriment Safe harder for little hands to pull down pans, bowls and Cuisinarts, showering little bodies with heavy hardware and scalding foodstuffs. Now that the children are safe, see to yourself. Avoid frilly holiday grab while you cook -- facy bows and fluffy sleeves could easily touch a burner and ignite. Roll up your sleeves and don a stout apron while you work. Be extra careful to use pot holders when carrying pots and pans. Maybe you can rush across the kitchen and put down a pot of soup before your fingers burn when you've got the kitchen to yourself. But the extra time it could take ./to navigate around your nephew's sisters-in-law could be all it takes to make you burn your fingers - or drop a scaling hot pan of liquid all over somebody. Do you know how to deal with a Dan fire in stove or oven? Smother the pan with its lid or use a fire extinguisher. Don't carry the pan outs&e or use water. You'll simply spread the fire. Speaking of a fire extinguisher, where is your kitchen extinguisher? The wise cook permanently mounts it in easy reach -- not behind or above the stove where one must reach through flames to get at it. A little common sense can make sure this Thanksgiving remains an occasion for giving thanks and not a tragedy never to be forgotten.
