Kitchen Accident Rate High Says County Agent The kitchen is the location of many accidents, but with a little extra care and caution most of these accidents can be avoided, says Mary Margaret Smith, home dem onstration agent for the State Col lege Extension Service. The good housekeeping rule, "a place for everything and everything in its place", is especially important in the kitchen. According to the National Safety Council, most kitchen accidents are falls. Many of these occur through (he use of such makeshift devices as chairs, stools, and boxes for climbing. A safe step stool is an essential piece of equipment in any modern kitchen. Grease and water should always be mopped up to eliminate the danger of slipping and falling. Scalds and burns also rank high mong kitchen accidents. Miss Smith suggests that pan handles be turned away from the front of the stove to prevent accidental tipping, and that a cover be used when carrying scalding liquids. Before opening a steaming kettle or roast er, cover the pan with a cloth and lift the far side of the cover first. Follow directions when using a pressure cooker, making sure that the safety valve is in working con dition, c Knives and other sharp tools are Involved in 14 per rent of all home accidents, Miss Smith points out. Sharp knives should be kept In a safe rack or special drawer. Miss Smith suggests these other kitchen precautions: Keep matches out of children's reach. Don't use gasoline or kerosene to start fires. Keep all drycleaning operations Safe Driving, Walking Urged During. December "Remember December and be careful in driving and walking." This suggestion comes from the Department of Motor Vehicles, as part of its December traffic safe ty program that emphasizes the Christmas holiday traffic hazards. "Christmas Is the season to be j merry, of course," the Department said tuday. "But it is the season to be wary, as well. "Traffic deaths usually reach the highest puint of the year during out of the kitchen. Check Elovepipes and flues reg ularly. Store all medicine, insecticides and drugs away from the kitchen and where children cannot reach them. the December holiday season. Ac cording to the National Safety Council, 3,190 persons were killed nationwide during December last year in traffic accidents alow. In North Carolina, 84 persons were killed In December traffic." The Department poin'.td out that seasonal hazards contribute large ly to this toll. The winter months mean earlier darkness and reduced visibility. Three out of five fatal accidents occur at night. Had winter weather, ice and snow are other seasonal hazards, accoiding to the Department. Point ing to a public opinion survey con ducted for the National Committee on Traffic Safety on the subject of the public's attitude on traffic safety, the Department said the cil. average -persr think that driv ing while drinking is- the greatest single cause ot-traffic accidents. - "While no special statistics are available on alcohol in relation t Christmas holiday accidents," the Department noted that "it is sig nificant that - 1M7 state report show, ope out of five drivers In volved in fatal, accident, and on out of four adult pedestrians killed in traffic accidents had been drink ing." " Do not let holiday -spirits of the liquid variety . dampen" thp real holiday spirit, the Department warned. Alpoholidays too often be come tragic days to remember. , The special emphasis program for fewer holiday traffip accidents and deaths is part of a continuing safety educational "program coor dinated by the Department of Mo tor Vehicles and sponsored nati6n ally by the National Safety Coun- ft i Once Ib A Lifetime Clearance Sale OF ans, mid $35,000,000 for private patients, the report said. In the past three years $30,000,000 of new ns traction in North Caroling Aore and Better Telephone Service since V-J Day more than y7,UUU new telephones have been added, bringing the total to more than 252,000 Southern Bell telephones now serving the State Major Electrical Appliances I We have been planning this sale for several weeks and decided that right before Christmas; j would be the most opportune time to offer to our many friends and customers the enormous j savings you will find in our store, especially suited 1o Christmas giving. g phenomenal growth of telephone Vice in North Carolina since 1 945 I story of unceasing, all-out effort telephone folks to meet the increas- needs of this growing state. There today 62 mgre telephones in ser e in North Carolina than in 1945. But that's only part of the story . . . number of telephones doesn't just ?w by itself. Look at the associated iwth that had to take place in order add and serve these telephones. $ince V-J Day, 9 new buildings ve been constructed and 10 other tidings substantially enlarged, pro ving nearly 200,000 square feet of ditional floor space. And central uce equipment "has been installed t has made possible a greater ex Asion of facilities throughout the te. Long distance service has also fn expanded and improved by the Wition of 661 new circuits, enabling f to handle more long distance calls e quickly. Wore Calls Made Every Day North Carolina customers are w making a daily average of nearly 500,000 local calls as compared with 200,000 in 1945, and long distance Jls have increased to 1,400,000 onthly, a 31 increase over 1945. Yes, North Carolina's telephone ser has really grown not only in e but in value as well, for you can V call many more people and many or can call you. But in spite of the increase in .business telephone earn ings continue to be dangerously low. This is because the amount of money paid out to furnish you service has increased at a faster pace than the amount of money taken in. ' Still More Facilities Needed Southern Bell's greatly increased in vestment in North Carolina is evi dence of our faith in the state and its people. Future expansion and im provement of the service will require many more millions of dollars of new money. This will have to be financed, as in the past, with money furnished by investors who may be expected to provide the necessary capital only so long as they receive a fair return on their money. That's why it's so neces sary that telephone rates be sufficient to pay today's increased operating costs and provide a reasonable return to those who have invested their savings in the business, Telephone rates in North Carolina are not sufficient to meet today's costs and assure the Company's abil ity to render good service. That is why we are now before the North Carolina Utilities Commission eeekins: such rates as will, enable us to con tinue to provide you with good and dependable service.
