Back Breaking Work Centers I'm
necessary-Are your work centers
the correct height for you? Can you
stand erect when washing dishes,
when working at the stove or when
making pies Groups taking the home
management project of the Univer-
sity's agricultural extension service
are making study of this problem
and working it out to their satisfac-
ton.
"Since I made my wash bench the
right height, I don't have the back
ache every wash day as l did before
and | use the bench only when rims
ing" said one woman. "My work
table was four inches too low and
my husband made it the right height.
He nailed strips of 2x4 across the
ends and built top on these, then
constructed a drawer under the new
top. This drawer is just the place
needed for small utensils used at this
table,"
Sometimes a table may be raised
by screwing wooden "door stops
with rubber in the end into the bot
tom of the table leg. A square block
the size of the table leg and as high
as needed may be screwed to the
table &gs to secure height.
Low sinks are greater problem
because of the expense attached to
changing of water and drain pipes
A small wooden, rack made to fit in
one end of the sink on which to sci
the dishpan will serve the purpose
or the drain board if not too higl
may serve as rest for the dishpar
and thus procure the correct working
height. A simple method of determ
lining correct heights for dish wash
ing is to measure from the waistlint
down six inches; this represents fol
most women the right height for the
bottom of the dishpan.-Mary L
