This practice could insure uninterrupted mail delivery and save your letter carrier a lot of pain. Mark'Matics, Winston-Salem Postmaster, says that throughout the country, 10 letter carriers get bitten by dogs every delivery day of the year, and even more of them nar rowly miss the painful experience. "If a family would work together to k?ep their pet out of har m's way by bringing the dog inside or tied up behind a backyard fence at the proper time, the instance of dog bites cou|d be significantly reduced/' says Mr. Matics. Last year, four Winston-Salem letter carriers were bitten, some of them suffering very painful injuries and all experiencing unnecessary trauma. Every year the Postal Service renews its efforts to prevent dog bites in a number of ways. "In early spring, we meet with all of our let ter carriers to ensure they are aware of the hazard. We check our supply of dog repellent, a harmless pepper spray, and suggest that carriers use their mail satchels as a shield, if possible. Our best advice is to avoid the situation," Mr. Matics says. Postal safety regulations authorize the suspension of mail delivery when a hazardous dog interferes with a carrier's efforts to provide service. "Even one dog bite is too many, " says Mr. Matics. "So we're hoping through our reminders to our carriers, by holding mail until the hazard is removed, or by asking dog owners to keep their dogs secured during delivery times, we can eliminate this hazard."

One sub title under "House" should be ~Care for A p p 1 i - _ ances." Actual ly, common sense and good housekeeping are the guidelines. But in the flurry of plan ning and packing, little things can be overlooked. So line up the particu- ^ lars: Plan to clean appliances thor uugniy or nsK returning 10 i in a mat bugs have decided to vacation in your home ? drawn by crumbs and spills. Besides, it is a nice welcome home present to have everything in clean, ready-to-go condition. Other members in the family can help. While you clean the oven, someone else can wash away the stickiness on the electric can opener, wash off refrigerator walls and racks while you dispose of perishables that won't last through vacation; and de crumb the toaster while you send the last of the laundry through the wash ing machine. On the day of departure, make the last meal hearty, but prepared ahead or taken out of the freezer so that a once-over-lightly of range, counters and sink will get you out of the kitchen quickly. Don't leave soiled dishes in the dishwasher or sink. And do leave a dishwasher lid or door open slightly so air can circulate. Run cold water through a food waste, disposer for several minutes after the food is ground to thorough ly clean the unit. Make a note of anything that is to be disconnected or turned off. Actually nothing has to be discon nected ? except a dehumidifier that does not have a drain hose or an automatic shut-off when the pan is full. But some things you'll probably want to turn off, such as air condi tioners. It is also a good idea to shut off the water supply to outdoors ^faucets, the washing machine, and an ice-maker in a freezer. And though pulling plugs isn't necessary, in your final tour through the house before leaving, be sure controls on non-use appliances are set at "off." If you will be away a long time, you may want to empty the refrigerator of things that may spoil and clean it thoroughly. If possible, have a neighbor check your house every few days. Aside from watering the plants or feeding the fish, they can note any irregularities. This person should also have instructions as to what to do if a problem arises - fuses to check, or perhaps an electrician or plumber to call. Other things that can be done to distract burglars: Create an appear-i ance that the house is occupied; cani eel deliveries ? mail, newspaper; milk, etc.; turn telephone bell down if possible; use a timing device td turn on a bedroom light and radio; _ notify the police or a trusted neigh* bor that you will not be at horned park a second car in the driveway; arrange for someone to cut the grass; do not put an announcement of your absence in the paper (ft discuss it with strangers; leave an extra key with a neighbor so that your home may be inspected by police or a neighbor if necessary; set trash cans inside; and lock all windows and doors. Dr. Himes edits new book A decade after retiring, Dr. look into the South's past, and then Joseph Himes, an Excellence Foun- predict some changes that might dation Professor of sociology emer- occur, based on the preceding half itus at The University of North Car olina at Greensboro, has competed a five-year labor of love with publi cation of a new book. The 408-page book, The South Moves Into Its Future: Stud ies in the Analysis and Prediction of Social Change, has just been released by the University of Alabama Press. . Edited by Himes, the book grew out of a 1986 conference held by the SouthernSociological Soci ety to mark the 50th anniversary of its founding. Himes earlier had vol unteered to plan the event. ??His solution was to have some of the region's leading sociologists century. He began editing the confer ence proceedings in 1987 and the book was released last month. Except for Himes' preface, introduction and summary, each chapter focuses on a different ele ment of social change in the South. All are based on papers presented at the 1986 conference. "For the most part, their pre dictions were optimistic. They felt that they South would continue to grow in population density, in the sophistication of its economic sys tem, and that the population would grow older and become more femi nized." on the South In his chapter, "Transforma tions and Predictions," Himes sum marizes the predictions. Changes which are likely to pose problems for the region are: ? Increasing urban concentra tion of population will exacerbate pollution of air, water and other resources. ? Growing gemand for public services will continue to outrun public funds to provide them. ? Feminization and aging of the Southern population will aggravate their problems in the region. ? Increasing demands for pub- ~ lie services will intensify the strain with major tax-paying community sectors. ? Under-prepared workers will be increasingly handicapped by the and its future spread of high-tech and service; industries. ' j ? ? Managing the disposal of j? toxic waste materials will become* more and more urgent. ? Problems of intergroup rela- j tions ? ethnic, racial, age, gender, ? class and others ? will strain exist- ? ing human relations resources. A retired Excellence Founda-. tion Professor of sociology at UNCG, Himes taught on the Greensboro campus from 1969 until his retirement from full-time teaching in 1977. ~He continued to teach pa ru time until 1980. He is the author of five other books. He holds bache lor's and master's degrees from Oberlin College and the Ph.D:> degree from Ohio State University. ' DOWNTOWN ? THRUWAY ?
