An alphabet to
keep home safe
n,;:?£ er ‘ at f tban t never ” ma y be an adage that ap
plies to most situations, but when it comes to your
family s safety, you should not put off decisions.
tips > in this alphabetized home safety
prime* to help make your home a safer place to live in:
Avoid storing food and
household products in the
same cabinet.
Be sure to secure rugs
and carpet edges to avoid
slips and falls.
Cleaning agents can be
dangerous. Never mix
them and be sure to read
directions before using.
Don’t use caustic chemi
cals if possible. Instead
use products like Drain
Power which uses pressure,
instead of lye or acid, to
clear clogged drains.
iE/lectrical appliances
should be used with great
care in the bathroom or
near wet surfaces.
F irst aid kit, including
a burn ointment, is a must
for every house.
Gas leaks are a hazard.
Check your stove pilot
light. If it’s lit and you
smell gas, call utility com
pany immediately.
H andles installed on tub
or shower walls are a good
way to prevent falls.
I nstall childproof safety
plates (or plugs) on all
unused electrical outlets.
J ust a moment is how
long it takes for your child
to get into hazardous
products. Don’t leave them
unguarded, even for a few
minutes.
K nives should be stored
in a wall-mounted knife
rack out of children’s
reach.
Lock all medicine cabi
nets and any storage areas
where you keep cleaning
products or paints.
.Medicines should be dat
ed and labeled. Discard
them after date of expira
tion.
Never keep unused pre
scription medicines for a
later time.
Original containers, not
cups or soft drink bottles,
are the safest place to
keep medicines, paint and

Moving can be very
troublesome. Especially
when you're off to settle
the wilderness.
The roads were terrible.
No restaurants along the way.
Why, the trip itself took
months.
But, if you were willing,
the government would give
you land. Land that was
bought and paid for with
money raised from
Americans taking stock in
their country.
So thousands had a little
hand in every homestead.
Today, millions of
Americans are still taking
stock in their country by
buying U.S. Savings Bonds.
Because whether you
furchase Bonds through the
ayroll Savings Plan at
work, or through the Bond-
A-Month Plan where you
save, you’re putting your
money where it counts the
most. For you and for
your country.
So buy U.S. Savings
Bonds.
They’ll put your savings
on the right road.
Now E Bonds pay 6% interest when held
to maturity of 5 years (44% the fust
year! Interest is not subject to state or
local income taxes, and federal tax may be
deferred until redemption

The early Spanish explor

The earliest Spanish explor

the direction of waterproof

plagued by the handicap of
wet feet, so they tried paint
