Pick Franklin For One
Of 1 1 Community Surveys
rounding the town is really a
unit. It also was agreed that
many of the problems facing
other communities today are
practically non-existent here,'
and that the published results
of the survey should so state,
thus presenting the good as well
as the bad side of this area.
Local persons judged best fit
ted to do so will be asked to
study and report on various
phases of the situation here,
such as average Income and
employment, housing, juvenile
delinquency, etc. Then, when all
these detailed reports are in,
the information oh the com
munity will be compiled and
correlated, with a view to pre- !
senting a fairly complete and
accurate picture of Franklin and
vicinity.
Persons meeting with Dr. Carr i
and Dr. McCubbins to plan the
study included the Rev. W.
Jackson Huneycutt, Methodist
pastor here; T. H. Fagg, assis
tant county agent; John Ed- ,
wards, Boy Scout leader; Bob
S. Sloan, veterans service of
ficer; and G. H. Hill, Franklin j
school principal.

GRANDAD'? TIB SAFER
THAN MODERN BATHROOM ? '
One of Aie diarists in Queen
Elizabeth's time wrote:
"The Qneen hath built her
self a bath where she doth
bath herself once a month,
whether she requires it or no."
Although' the old Romans and
Greeks rivalled Hollywood in
the size of their swimming pools
which they called "baths", it
appears that the society folk of
the Elizabethan era were not
overly concerned with what
even their best friends accepted
in polite silence.
We hava come a long way in
; personal hygiene since that
1 time, but the National Conserva
tion bureau, accident preven- j
tion division of the Association I
of Casualty and Surety Exec
utives, warns that the modern
bath-room is one of the most
dangerous rooms in the most
dangerous place of all ? the :
home.
Three contributory ? factors,
frequent usage, dangerous equip
j ment, and complete privacy,
! give full play to accident oc
currence in the bathroom.
| A few of the moje common
I hazards lurking in the bath- !
j room which kill and injure
people each year include elec
1 trie shock due to the high con
ductivity of water, poisons from
the medicine chest, falls on slip
pery surfaces.
Safety specialists advise: Keep
your hand off electric fixtures
while bathing, keep lethal med
lcines under lock and key, use
a rubber mat to prevent skid
ding in the tub.

And yet it shot him through
the head:

A lot of hunters are acciden
tally killed each year, but the
National Conservation bureau
reports that guns kill more peo
ple indoors than out ? and can't
explain just why.
CORRECTION
In the account, in last week's
Press, of the Methodist zone
meeting, a typographical error
occurred in the text of Mrs. T.
W. Porter's paper an Mrs.
George A. Jones. The sentence:
"It is a rare privilege to be able
to look upon a service of almost
tion" should have read, 'spent
in one organization". The error
is regretted.
