Door-to-door salesmen are selling "vitamin preparations" these days and you may think these are therapeutic doses. They may or may not be. Point is, that you can't know whether they are or not, and the salesman probably isn't qualified to know whether you even need them. If you do need vitamins in therapeutic quantities, cnlyyourphysician can tell you what you need and how much, and only your registered pharmacist should dispense them. Where your health isconcerned, always rely on competent professionals. completed Now, 33G years later, home makers have equally Rood rea son for looking forward to Thanksgiving. j They know that with a little caution in the kitchen and some ! advance preparation chances are pretty good that they and j their families will survive the national holiday unscathed. ! Of course, there still are haz i ards connected with the event. 1 even though they're not quite I the same as those the settlers , faced. Today, fixing the feast is as easy as well, as opening a I package (make that several packages) of frozen food, ac- i cording to Miss Martha Kohl, j home economist of the National Saftey Council. i The 20th centruv homemaker j can, by planning ahead, keep I last-minute preparations to a minimum. With the help of a freezer she can prepare the fruit cocktail, cranberries, tur key and nies days ahead of time, Miss Kohl said. Or, if she wants, she can buy most of the Thanksgiving meal in prepared mixes that require little work or time. Well, just what hazards does Mrs. Homemaker of 1957 face, then? "As usual everyone will want Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" THOMAS WALLING CO Ptattsirouth, Nebraska to pet into the net In the kit chen", Miss Kohl said. , "Not only do too many cooks spoil the broth, but too many cooks clutter ud the kitchen, and may cause the homemaker to get flustered, perhaps trip or slip, or spill things. What can homemakers do to make Thanksgiving a day of leisure one to spend with friends and relatives rather than a day of danger? Miss Kohl advises that they: 1. Get ready for the meal weeks ahead of time by buying and preparing much of the food. 2. Get a good night's sleep (that goes for the whole family), then start the day off right with a good breakfast to keep fatigue at a minimum. 3. Keep children a hazard greater than sharp knives or hot pans out of the kitchen. 4. Be cautious when cooking the meal. "Just because you're using an electric or gas stove Instead of an old-fashioned wood-burner, doesn't mean you're safe from burns," Miss Kohl said. "To day's stoves can burn you just as badly as those your grand mother used." Through all the holiday hub bub, one member of th'j fami ly usually keeps pretty we'.l out of theway the man of the family. By camparison, he has things pretty soft. His time comes, though, when the turkey must be carved. Like his fo-efathers, he'll be expos ing himself to danger from a carving knife. Miss Kohl, however, has a couple of tips for him, too: ' Be sure the knife's sharp. And cut away from you," she said. Death Of Iowa Youth At Omaha Vets Hospital Charles McBride, 20, U. S. Navy C.

The survev is expected to show how many present and past polio patients are living in the county, their current voca tional status, how many are now receiving regular treatments, how many may benefit from further medical, social, educa tional or vocational therapy. Pointing out that the National Foundation spends March of Di mes money appropriated for pa tent care only for medical needs of patients, Mrs. Kelly emphasi zed that "the National Founda tion is deeply interested in the total needs of all polio patients whether or not they have ever received financial aj'stance from the Chapter." The chair man added: "Through our con tracts with other social agencies both government and private we may be able to bring a polio patient in contact with the people who can help rum in areas other then medical." The chapter spokesman said the local polio chapter has a list of all persons officially re ported as polio patients in the county since the beginning of 1946, but asked that the names and addresses of persons visited by the disease prior to 1946 be provided so survey forms may be forwarded to each one. Such names and addresses may be sent directlv to the chapter's chairman. The names of any who may have moved into the county since their original ill ness are also desired.

Eagles Circulate Petitions Urging 'Jobs Over 40' Petitions are being circulated here by Aerie 365 of the Eagles seeking congressional support support for the order's "Jobs Over 40" program. The campaign to end job dis crimination based on age is a major undertaking of the Fra ternal Order of Eagles. Its aim is to convince employ ers and the general public (and members of Congress) that up per - age limits in hiring are unfair and unsound. Among reasons stated in pro moting jobs for older workers are these: 1. Older jobseekers have 20 years or more of work exper ience. '2. They have developed skills, progressed in their work and held positions of trust. 3. They have lower separa tion rates. 4. They are already employed in all types of industry and bus iness. 5. Most older jobseekers have no definable physical handicap. 6. They have better than aver age safety and attendance re cords. 7. Employers say they have greater company loyalty and better morale than younger em ployes. 8. Older workers have devel oped sound work habits. 9. They usually require less supervision. Roy Cavender is chairman of the local Eagles committee cir culating the petitions. Missouri River Being Put To Bed for Winter Thp Missouri river is being placed in bed for the winter sea son the Army Engineers' Re servoir Control Center announ ced Saturday.
