Home Vacation Is Popular, Has Advantages . So you're vacationing at home this year. Well, you're not alone in your choice lots of folks nowadays vacation right In their own back yards. Look at the advantages no traffic to contend with, no tired children in the back seat, no worry about accomodations. But you will have to be just about as cautious at home as if you were vacationing hun dreds of miles away, the Nation al Safety Council says. "Your vacation at home," It says, "must be safe to be happy. It can if you follow a few rules." For example: 1. Water's water, whether it's a distant beach or a back yard pool. Small children never should use a home pool except when supervised by an adult. (It's a good idea, by the way, for ev eryone to take along a partner when he goes swimming. 2. Don't let the man of the family overdo things. Mr. Fix-It probably will try to do all the repair jobs in two weeks that accumulated the rest of the year. Keep your man alive. Urge him to take things easy and work moderately during his va cation. 3. Just because you're not dri ving to your vacation spot does n't mean you're free of traffic danger. Most fatal crashes occur within 25 miles of the victim's home. And make sure a child isn't behind your car when you back up. There's a Killer Home! - So, Be Mrs. Housewife there's a kill er in your home! But you don't need weapons to defend yourself, the National Safety Council says. Just com mon sense and a lot of caution. The killer? Poisons. They lurk everywhere in the medicine ca binet, under the kitchen sink, on dressing tables. You'll even find them on food shelves, in the workshop, and in your clean ing closet. These camouflaged killers in the home, the Council points out take more than 1,000 lives an nually. They tage a steady toll throughout the year about 120 lives a month. Most frequent victims are children 5 years of age or youn ger. But right up there as home poison victims are persons in the 25-44 and 45-64 age groups. The types of accidental poison ers are as varied as the con tainers they come in bleach, permanent wave solution, sham poo, nail polish remover, furni ture polish, art supplies, bug kill ers, paint removers. Regardless of the killer, in just about every instance there's an accomplice to the crime care lessness or iunorance. For examole. some potential poisoners are properly labeled but a lot aren't. Doctors are n't always sure if a product is poisonous. And some ingredients harmless to most persons, can kill others especially children. In many instances, the killer is an otherwise harmless object To Attend Summer Camp At Topeka Sharon Dunlap, daughter of Officer and Mrs. Kenneth Dun lap, departed Monday for Tope ka, Kans., where she is to at tend the Mid-West Association of Recular Baptists, Junior Bi ble Camp.

George Frederick Dawson Pays Visit George Frederick Dawson, for mer resident of Plattsmouth, now retired from service with the city of Detroit, was in Plattsmouth for a short time this week. Fred made his home here prior to world war I and still retains a keen interest in his native home. Always greatly interested in athletic work, first as a turner at the German Turn-verein and later with the Y M C A in De troit, Fred had with him a num ber of boys in one of the classes. They were enroute to California and to the Gulf of Mexico for a few weeks. The party stopped here for the night at Merritt Beach and will then go on to the south and California. in Your Careful aspirin, for example. About 1 out of 5 children treated for accidental poisoning in a recent year had swallowed aspirin, the Council reports. Kerosene is a troublesome household com monplace, especially in rural ar eas and in the South. Old houses, too, can be booby traps for children. Tots can be poisoned by peeling paint on win dow sills and frames, or by crumbling plaster. Each can cause lead poisoning. The way to prevent poisoning? 1. "Education," the Council says. "Parents should be made aware of the dangers lurking in their homes." 2. Stricter state and federal laws. "Ingredients should be lis ted on bottles or cans contain ing poisonous substances ev en products valuable to our ev eryday living." Best way, though, is to pre vent the poisoning, the Council says. How? By following these rules: 1., Store medicines out of the reach of children, 2, Don't put poisons near foods it's too easy to con fuse the two, 3. Don't take medi cine in the dark, 4. Keep poison ous substances out of soft-drink bottles, used jelly jars, or pans, for example, and 5, Have a lock ed poison compartment in your home.
