HUSBAND,
Guarding Your Kitchen Against Fires
FOUR PERCENT OF ALL DAMAGING HOME FIRES orig
inate in the kitchen as the result of burning fat in the broiler, skil
let or griddle. How many of you know how to tackle this common
type of fire? By rights you should have an approved fire extin
guisher for “Class B” (flammable liquid) fires within easy reaching
distance of the range, as recommended by the National Fire Pro
j tection Association. If you haven’t, the Baking Soda Institute sug
gests you at least take the precaution of having a good supply of
; inexpensive baking soda on hand. Baking soda, which is the major
! ingredient of several types of fire extinguishers, is excellent for
such a fire. Applying the baking soda carefully on the flames
creates carbon dioxide or carbonic acid gas which shuts off the air
and smothers the flames. Never use salt or flour in place of soda.
I They’ll only make matters worse . .. and never, never use water.
Water has a lower boiling point than fat, and it will only make the
fire spread and the fat splatter. It’s a wise precaution to keep $
clearly labeled canister filled with baking soda on the kitchen
range so that when and if you’re faced with fire you can reach
the soda quickly.
Another advantage to using baking soda on fat fires is that
It won t harm food. You’ve all taken baking soda at one time or
another for the emergency aid of acid indigestion. So just wash
i the food off, if it wasn’t too badly burned, and it’s ready to serve.
Church Men ' : >st In History
More people are gorr-g 1j . and more people are reading
the Bible today than ever 1 .. n cur history. That’s the real
American story behind Hie he ': res, and it tells more about our
true spiritual and physical her 1th than all the lurid tales of
juvenile delinquency and atom destructiveness put together.
Vital statistics issued this month by the National Council of
the Churches ot Christ in the
U.S.A. contradict sharply ary
Stories that we are overly ma
terialistic, and prove that more
and more people are seek
ing God as a source of in
spiration and guidance. Over
97,000,000 Americans now attend
church regularly, an increase of
2.8 percent over last year. Amer
icans contributed more than
$2,000,000,000 to their churches
in 1955 alone. Sunday and Sab
bath school registrations are at
a record 37,623,530.
And this religious growth is
not just “Sunday habit.” We, as
a nation, are turning to Bible
reading, extending devotional
thought beyond mere observance
of the Sabbath. In the case of
the Revised Standard Version of
the Bible alone, which was first
issued only three years ago this
month, no less than 3,620,823
copies have already been sold,
a figure that is rising steadily
toward the four million mark.
This major revision of the
Bible, in clear, lucid, present
day English, has sold at the rate
of more than one copy every 30
seconds, 24 hours a day, for 36
months! A phenomenal record,
set against rising church mem
bership, it underlines that press
ing need for faith in our trou
bled world.
The RSV Bible was the result
of a 15-year project by 37 lead
ing church scholars (with a
larger consultation committee) to
provide a work that corrected
errors and inaccuracies that had
become disturbingly evident in
many English translations. Its
ultimate publication in the Fall
of 1952 was the occasion of
nationwide observances by min
isters of many denominations.
This religious revival is grow
ing in every community in
America, and Its accelerating
pace indicates that millions more
will be turning to the Scriptures
for hope in these critical times.
147 Complaints Filed
Alleging Irregularities
In Government Contracts
The October issue of the News
letter, issued by the President’s
(Committee on Government Con
tracts, reports that 147 conplaints
alleging violation of the nondis
crimination in Government con
tracts were filed with the Com
mittee between August 1943 when
the Committee was organized and
June 30, 1955. During this per
iod, of the 147 cases filed, 71
were closed. Corrective action
was taken in connection with' 21
of these cases; no violation was
found in 21 cases; the Committee
had no jurisdiction in 16 of the
cases; and the remaining 13
were closed because of inadequate
information.
As of June 30, of the 76 cases
still in progress: 28 were current
ly being investigated; 19 of
these cases were awaiting refer
ral to the appropriate Govern
ment contracting agency; 10 were
awaiting further investigation
or final reports on corrective ac
tion taken; and 19 had been re
ferred to the Special and Stand
ing Sub-Committees of the Presi
dent’s Committee on Government
Contracts. Of the latter, 11 have
been referred to the Committee
on Common Carriers, 4 to the
Committee on Oil Industry, 2 to
the Committee on Atomic Energy,
and 1 each to the Committee on
ithe District of Columbia and the
Committee on the Aircraft In
dustry. Although the Committee
has not closed these cases, im
provement in compliance has
been reported in connection with
13. It is the policy of the Com
mittee not to close cases until it
has been satisfied not only with
the results achieved in connection
with the specific allegations but
with the general compliance of
the contractor.
“While there has been some
slight increase in the number of
complaints filed during recent
months,” the Newsletter states,
“the fact remains tha people are
generally reluctant to file com
olaints against other people re
gardless of what the cause or the
issue may be.
Certainly the objection often
cited that the complaint proce
dure will become a device for
harassing industry has not been
borne out by the record of the
Committee.
“Of the total of 147 cases filed
with the Committee, 99 alleged
discrimination because of race,
86 because of religion, 2 because
of national oiigin and in 10 cases
the allegations were beyond the
| jurisdiction of the program.”
Refusal to hire because of race,
religion, or national origin was
the most frequent allegation of
discrimination in the complaints
the Newsletter reported. Dis
criminatory specifications in ad
■
vertising and job orders and re
fusal to upgrade because of race
were the most frequently cited al
legations. The majority of the
complaints filed with the Commit
tee, according to the Newsletter,
have been filed by organizations,
with 98 of the complaints being
filed by 15 organizations on be
half of over 200 individuals. The
remaining 49 have been filed dir
ectly by individuals.

BAIT FOR THE FISHERMAN
iimuimmiwiinwm iuiiii—i inr u i in ■
THERE’LL BE FISH TO FRY when this young sportsman casts 1
his line. And when the emphasis is on Ashing, you can bet he’ll *
pack provisions that are as easy to Ax as they are easy to carry.
Next to his best lure, he likes to take along the. new food
preparations -that leave plenty of time for outdoor enjoyment i
and relaxation too. For this reason, our young Asherman has in* [
eluded among the basic essentials the new instant powdered
i cream, so he can “cream” his coffee the way he likes it best.
' This 100% dairy product keeps indeAnitely without refrigeration,
and since it comes in powdered form, won’t spill in transit to lake
or shore. Just add it to hot coffee or cocoa and presto—fresh
cream Aavor comes alive in the cup for your enjoyment. (ANS)
