Home"
According to the American Red CT
home accidents last year accounted
their greatest fatality toll In five
years. Some $4,000 persons lost
their lives through falls, burns,
poisoning and other hazards of
everyday home life. Although less
dramatic-consequently less apt to
attract public interest-home acci-
dent fatalities ran Q close second
to death on the street and highway,
trailing by 1,500 deaths.
With carelessness playing the
leading role, more than half of
home accident deaths were attrib-
uted to falls-occurring on stairs,
slippery floors, insecure rugs and
use Of chairs and other articles Of
furniture as improvised stepladders.
Burns and accidental poisoning fol-
lowed In that order.

FAIRFAX, Va, March 21.-The
advisability Of setting up citizens
advisory council to make recon-
mendations for the civilian defense
program to the County Board OF
Supervisors will be considered by
the supervisors at a special meeting
Monday night.
County Defense Co-ordinator r.
M. Loughborough, who announced
the special meeting, said Circuit
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy had ac-
cepted request to be chairman OF
the Advisory Council and G.. Wal
lace Carper. chairman of the Board
Of Supervisors, will be vice chair
man.
At the meeting Monday, each
board member will be asked to sug-
gest six or seven property owners
in his district to serve on the coun-
Gil, and in addition it is planned
to ask mayors of all incorporated
towns to serve.
Mr.. Loughborough declared it is
essential that those who are ap-
pointed be property owners since
any appropriation made by the
county supervisors for defense work
will mean corresponding increase
In local tax rates.
Decision to consider setting up an
advisory council followed visit yes
terday by Mr.. Loughborough and
several members of the Board of
Supervisors to Alexandria and
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties, Md, where the defense
setups were studied.
At the last meeting of the super

work, and action was deferred until
1t could be found what other nearby
localities are doing in connection
with defense.
Supervisor Andrew w. Clarke de-
clared following the visit to the
other areas that the local setup
seems about on par with those
visited.
