THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX Thursday, March 3, 1949 Home Accidents to Take Hevy Toll in State Unless Nebraskans are more careful than their fellow-Americans they will have some 45. 900 home accidents during 1949. This figure is based on coun-'ry-wide statistics from the Na tional Safety Council showing that on in 23 persons is injured at home in the course of a year. Many of the most dangerous home mishaps, those taking place in the kitchen, could be eliminated if home owners gave more attention to ihe planning and layout of that room, points out a Tile Council of America report. Proper placing of cupboards and shelves will do much to im prove both safety and work con ditions in the kitchen, it says. Since few homemakers can THOMAS WALLING CO. Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" Plattsmouth, Nebraska easily reach a shelf more than six feet above the floor, that height is generally recommend ed. If shelves are higher, safe ty precautions call for storing the stepladder in the kitchen itself rather than the basement, so that it will be handy for use instead of makeshift climbing supports. Many kitchen accidents orgi nate at the range. For safety it is best located away from traf fic, so that vessels on it will not be accidentally hit in passing. A panel back of it finished with clay tile reduces fire hazards and is easily kept clean and free of grease. Fatigue is the direct cause of many kitchen accidents. Work surfaces at proper heights, walls finished with such easily clean ed materials as clay tile, and labor-saving equipment lighten work and .therefore definitely contribute to safety, according to the report. Inadequate lighting can make even routine activities in the kitchen dangerous. A central light fixture is seldom enough, and the report recommends that extra light sources be de vised for all work areas.

KNOW YOUR WEATHER Most of this country's weather tends to flow from west to east. Thus, if tomorrow's air is lying west ward as a mass of wet stuff, the sun will appear yellow or gray. If tomor row's air is dry, the sun will appear deep red. Hence, the saying: "Yellow sky and setting sun, tomorrow's hay will not be done. But when the sun sets red in west, that's what haymen like the best." iffi WW Richard Livingston on Musical Program Mdshipmian, Third Class, Richard C. Livingston, USNA, son of Mrs. Lillian M.
