The dog and the postman
feome fire Safety often includes
_ holding a fire drili But have you
ever practiced getting the family
dog inside before your mail carrier
is scheduled to arrive? 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."

Preparing the home for being on vacation
oy J OM IN INC J. rMLUO
Home Economic Extension Agent
Before going off on vacation,
the homemaker of the family can
usually be seen clutching checklists,
hoping that
she won't
forget any
thing
important.
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. '
