Little boys and girls have a way
of tearing holes in their clothes,
ripping seams, catching heels in
hems. To keep even sturdy clothes
in good repair means continued
alertness.
There are several ways to put to
use the modern iron-on corduroy
or denim patches, which are iron
like in endurance and will out
wear garments on which you at
tach them. Your notions depart
ment carries these patches in
many colors. Put the patches on
in a decorative way, in diamond
shapes, crescents, r o u n d s or
squares. You can patch a tear that
is on the right hip and put a 'mat
ching patch on the left hip. One
side of the back, just below the
center waist, might be torn, so you
can put the piece across the center
back to give balance to the patch.
You will be surprised what fun
you and the children can have in
cutting paterns for patches and
ironing them to position. These
patches will wash and wear, and if
you plan them so, they can really
give a perk-up to faded and tired

Falls rate high among causes of
injuries from home accidents at
all ages. But it is to people over
the age of 65 that falls arc most
likely to be fatal, according to Na
tional Safety Council figures. The
whole family can help fall - proof
tlie home and grounds just by giv
ing more thought to doing away
with fall hazards. For example,
check on steps and stairways to
be sure they are well lighted, in
good repair, have continuous hand
rails and hand rails on both side
if they are wide. Children can learn
to keep toys off the floor or lawn
except in their own play area.
Many an elderly person has trip
ped on toys left on stairs, walks
or other unexpected places. Be
sure open windows have tight
screens or other safeguards to pre
vent falls.. Be sure garden tools
are not left where they may be
trip - hazards. If you substitut.e
scatter rugs or grass rugs for win
ter carpets be sure they are se
cured against sliding underfoot —
or catching a heel or toe. Special
floor finishes may be used that
are no slippery.
Health For All
TB In The Classroom
Could your child catch tuberculo
sis in school?
Your immediate reaction is, “No,
of course not.” Not with all the
public health regulations, school
doctors and nurses. Nor in that
handsome new brick building with
the big shiny windowpanes. Any
way, you say, not many children
get TB these days.
But can you De sure that your
child is safe! A recent discovery of
active tuberculosis in a six-year
old girl led to the disclosure of
three other infected first-graders.
Investigation showed that their ap
parently healthy young teacher
had the disease.
Children do get tuberculosis. The
incidence is lower than in adults
partly because their opportunities
for contact with an active case of
tlie disease are fewer. During the
years when a child’s world inclu
des little more than home and
school, the chances of his catching

Greatly improved staling and the greater variety in summer furni
ture styles provides you with the prospect of an attractive summertime
setting that need not be stored out of sight for the winter. The same
qualities that make it so practical outdoors make it equally so for an
indoor recreation room, or to accent your home with a note of summer
the year ’round.
The grouping shown here, is completely correlated with dinettes,
occasional tables, sectional pieces, rockers, lounges and chairs. The seat
ing pieces are alternated with either a lightweight woven fibre or
removable plastic upholstered cushions. Sturdy, also lightweight, black
tubular steel frames attractively outline the extensive array Of vivid
summer colors used for this grouping. Color, being the newest fashion
note, is found on all types of summer furniture from the most rustic
to the most traditional, on metal or wood. For a utilitarian note, the
tables all have plastic laminated surfaces banded attractively in brass.
The foot glides, also in brass, are Self-leveling to justify uneven out
door surfaces.
Summertime furniture is hardier than ever. It is sun-proof, rain
proof, rust-proof, mildew-proof and insect-proof. It has been st.vjed to
look and be less cumbersome, while being completely functional.
Select wisely, with versatility in mind, and your outdoor furniture
will make both summer and winter more enjoyable.
tuberculosis can be minimized. The
infection is most likely to reach
him from adults with active TB.
And these will most likely be in a
limited group including the adults
in his own family and his school
teachers.
Responsible parents will make
sure, of course, that there is no
I chance that a child is exposed to
jtubeculosis in the home. With the
I modern chest X-ray there is no
■ excuse for doubt on this score.
But what about the school? Re
sponsible parents should know for
' sure what measures are taken to
protect the health of their children
in the classroom. Does your school
| system require an annual physical
'examination and a chest X-ray of
all its teachers? If there is such
ia regulation, is it rigidly enforced?
I If tiiere is no requirement, is there
isomc community group you could
join in working for it? Teamwork
bv parent organizations, doctors,
i educators, the health department,
and tuberculosis association can
prevent the needless tragedy of the
I child who catches tuberculosis in
ithe classroom.

Among the important changes in
the Social Security law provided
by the recently passed 1954 amend
ments is the disability “freeze”
provisions provided in the law, N.
A. Avera, District Manager of the
District Office of the Social Securi
ty Administration, at Wilmington,
said today.
A new feature was add3d to the
law by Congress generally to pre
vent the depreciation of or loss of
benefits suffered by wage - earn
ers and self - employed individuals
who became totally disabled and
thus unable to maintain their re
gular earnings under the Act. Un
der the previous law if a person
became disabled and incapacitated
for work there was nothing to be
done until he reached age 65 or
died and a claim was filed on his
wage record. During the period of
his disability, when his earnings
decreased or stopped altogether,
the wage - earner’s average mon

thly wage decreased, thus lowering
his benefit payments or in some
cases eliminating them altogether
because of lack of insured status.
The 1954 amendments to the law
do not provide for insurance pay
ments to be made to wage - earn
ers and the self employed when the
disability first occurs, but merely
to freeze the wage record at that
point upon certain conditions to be
met by the disabled persons.
Any disabled worker covered by
the law shoul dcall or write the Dis
trict Office in order to make ap
plication to have his earnings re
cord frozen. '
Mr. Avera pointed out that de^
tailed information would be carried
in the columns of this publication
about the disability “freeze" provi
sions of the law. In conclusion he
stressed the importance of secur
ing correct information from this
source and other articles publish
ed by the Social Security Adminis
tration.
The ministry is not an easy pro
fession, despite all the jokes to the
contrary.
