Plan Healthy And
A Safe Christmas
Season This Year

And Now Yoar's
Deaths and injuries due to
avoidable accidents are not con
fined to any one season of the
year, but accident figures usual
ly do take a sharp, upward turn
during the Christmas and New
Year holiday season.
High on the list of Killers dur

long hours of darkness can mean
hazardous driving throughout the
winter. But there are obviously
extra hazards during the Yuletide
season.
Many people do more drinking
during this holiday season than
at other times of the year. Auto
mobile accidents during Christ
mas and New Year’s could be cut
down considerably if motorists
stat ed out from behind the wheel
of the car whenever they had
been ’celebrating.”
While on the subject of auto
mobiles, those who have neglect
ed "winter conditioning” could
give their cars this holiday gift
which might be the means of
avoding accidents and saving
lives, tires, brakes, and windshield
wipers should be in top-notch
condition for winter driving. It
is also a good idea to have tire
chains and windshield defroster
ready for use whenever ice and
sleet make roads slippery and in
terfere with vision.
A totftl of 18,200 deaths in 1948
was due to accidental falls. While
fatal or serious falls can happen
at any time of the year, they are
apt to increase during the hol
idays. Bad falls are often the re
sult, for example, when house
wives stand on unsteady surfaces
to hang their “Christmas cur
tains" and fathers decorate the
top of the Christmas tree from
the summit of a broken ladder.
Outside the home, excilment and
the rush of the holiday season can
increase carelessness about wear
ing rubbers for lev pavements
and make people more prone lo
trip over broken or uneven pave
ments.
Deaths from burns are also
liigh tm the list of accidents an

and Injure more children under
14 years of age than any other
type of accident. Special precau
tions must be taken against fire
during the holiday season. Light
ed candles used as part of decora
tions, for instance, should be i
firmly based, carefully checked
from tuny to time, and kept far
from curtains and other easily-ig
nited materials
Not all holiday accidents, of
course, are forseeable and avoid

result of carelessness and ir.ipn
Special Security I
| For Home Worker
I ' *■'—
“Do you have a maid?"
| Not so very many households!
I these days can answer yes, but!
those who do have a maid or any
other household worker will need
I a copy of a brief booklet bearing
■ that question as a title. Marshall
I H. Barney, Manager of the Rocky
Mount social security office, be
gan distributing this booklet to
| day. This colorful leaflet sets out,
in a few sentences, just how tht
l lady of the house, or any employ
er of domestic help in or around
the home, may tell whether or

becomes effective on January 1.
The work of those regularly
employed in private homes will
be credited to social security and
the employer will be responsible
lor reporting wages along with
social security taxes, to the col
lector of internal revenue.
The title- of the pamphlet does
not stop with “Do You Have a
Maid?" but continues " -or a
laundress?—a cook?—chauffeur?
gardener?" Any of these, or any
other persons employed regularly
for work around a private house
hold may come under the new
law, and Mr. Barney urges their
employers to request a free copy
of the booklet.
A simple test in the boklet, in
terms of amount of wages paid
and regularity of employment,
will tell whether a maid or cook
or laundress will get the protec
tion of social security — and
whether the housewife should
start making reports next year.
If so, there’s a postage-paid post
al card in the government-issued
booklet which the housewife
should mail in for instructions.
Copies of the booklet are avail
able at all post offices, or may be
secured at offices of the collector
of internal revenue. "If you'll just
drop us a post card, asking for
the booklet, 'Do You Have a
Maid?' we'll send it to you by
return mail," Barney said. Ad
dress of the office is Social Se
curity Administration, liOtl Post
Office Building, Rocky Mount, N.
The social security manager
said he is arranging with women's
groups to furnish supplies of the
