To make sure that your bathroom is as safe as possible for you and your family, see how it shapes up with this bathroom safety checklist: * Date and label all medi cines and check their shelf life. Medicines used incorrect ly or beyond their expiration date can be more harmful than helpful. * Store all medicines and caustic cleaning compounds in locked cabinets to prevent accidental intake by children and pets. And, even when dis carding empty and old con tainers, place them where your small loved ones can’t get at them. * liarsh chemical cleaners can be harmful if accidentally used improperly. Always read instructions before using any cleanser and, whenever pos sible, avoid using hazardous ones. For example, instead of using drain cleaners which contain dangerous lye or acid, nse Drain Power, the first drain opener to use pressure to unclog sinks and bathtubs. * Line your bathtub with a rubber mat or with dec orative rubber decals to pre vent falls. A handle or rod installed on the shower wall will provide extra protection, too. * Never use electrical ap pliances near water or wet surfaces. If you must use them in the bathroom, be sure to unplug them when they’re not being used. KITCHEN SURFACES If everything in the kitch en were made out of the same material, it would prob ably be the easiest room in the house to clean. But since this isn’t the case, it’s useful to know how to treat various kitchen surfaces. For ex ample: * Butcher Blocks. These popular wooden work sur faces can take a lot of rough treatment, but you must avoid saturating them with water which causes warping. To clean a butcher block lii/i' nr; wi •• wipe it quickly with luke warm water mild suds and dry. Re-season when nec essary by pouring boiled lin seed oil over wood surfaces and rubbing it in, with steel wool. *Formica countertops are attractive, but they scratch, so don t use them as cutting surfaces. Avoid using abrasives such as steel wool when cleaning. Steel wool leaves aerftches on some kitchen surfaces which can catch dirt and become the breeding ground for germs. To easily remove soil from your for mica countertops, use new Glass*Plus™' glass, appliance and cabinet cleaner. Just spray it on and wipe with a damp sponge or cloth—no need to rinse. *Sink faucets which have been chromium- or nickle plated should not be washed with scouring powders, which can wear off the plating, al though these powders are safe for the porcelain sinks they service. To keep faucets sparkling, clean them with non-abrasive spray cleaner. According to Arab tradition, Mohammed was carried to heaven on the back of a mare with the wings of an eagle and a human face. or to the Division of Motor Vehicles Headquarters in Raleigh and he assured them that, new stickers would be issued to them at no cost. Powell encouraged motorists to inspect the stickers before _applyingJhem to determine if they are damaged. Powell said “We don’t know the extent of the numbers of damaged stickers, ' but 1 have instructed the Registration Officials to begin an immediate investigation into this matter.” ASUp of December 31,1975 I JVinlT [mm 11 In 111 l!I s ™ ■C» Series "iil g iSfeirai?; I SI A mj, rnm & m llllf. sins rar nrsum Motor —ssotht I 1 I r J b ■4 | i | J l |l m / $ / Iflrlll/ JSBP I'D, y thuth to 1 —iMtoi I Id I ifi \ # 37.01 Xv m ( mmMmmmmJ IIPIIW tiH/H/ 3FSSB agirr reisT swtin II I pJ W p 'V:\nl*.
