Kitchen Dangerous Place;
Scene of Many Accidents

The kitchen, where many home
makers spend large part of their
time, is often dangerous place to
be!
Such things as water on the floor,
a rickety kitchen ladder or a pot
handle extending over the edge of
the stove are BOBBY traps waiting
for some unsuspecting or unthink-
ing victim to fall into their snares
The National Safety council esti-
mates that the kitchen is the scene
of one out of nearly every five home
accidents serious enough to require
hospital care.
A large part Of these kitchen
calamities are caused by burns
from steam and hot liquids. A
careful homemaker will lift the
cover from a pan of boiling liquid
so that it forms a shield against
the steam, and she will also see
that those handles are turned away
to prevent grasping by childish fin
gers or to avoid the danger of an
accidental bump. Thick, dry pot
holders are essential tools for ev-
cry kitchen. Highly polished limo
leum floors and spilled grease, wa
ter or fruit peelings are frequently
the cause of injurious falls. And so
are the stools, boxes and chairs
used in place of safe stepladder.

Partnership

Did you ever have a joint check
ing account with somebody? They
can be handy things sometimes. So
can a tin of gasoline in the base
ment, but both are extremely dan
gerous. All parties concerned must,
of necessity, have a cooperative
understanding about how joint
checking account is to be used, how
fast and for what purposes. Other
wise, one party's error might cause
the other one trouble, no end.
knew man once who had a
joint checking account with his son,
who was minor. The father didn't
deposit all his money in this ac-
count. He didn't use it at all, in
fact. 1t was just his way of guiding
his sons early efforts to balance
accounts and use money wisely. The
idea was to teach the boy to distin-
guish between investing and just
plain spending of money.
A Joint Account
/ wish all taxpayers in the United
States could realize that they have
a joint checking account with Uncle
Sam. Moreover, / wish they might
suddenly wake up to the fact that
everything they have is in this
joint account. If Uncle Sans stubs
are not balanced, or if Uncle Sam s
checks are not all numbered, Mr..
Taxpayer is certain to have to make
it good personally when something
"bounceS"
Government can assess taxes to
the amount of what government
needs, or thinks it needs, and that's
a matter of judgment. During the
war our executives spent money
faster than it came in, running
the country's debt to 268 billion dol
lars. However wisely the debt was
contracted, it will never be any
smaller until government officials
begin spending less than they col
lect from the people by taxation.
Balance the Budget
There is considerable doubt
whether those who spend and those
who pay have cooperative under
standing about their joint account.
They ought to see eye-to-eye. Vic
tory was cheap, whatever it cost in
money, but the unpaid portion still
has to be met. Moreover the coun-
try's best economists think now is
the time to start paying off the debt,
while nearly all of us are earning
good pay.
Recently l saw a summary of
proposed federal spending for the
next IL months; worksheet from
the 1947 budget, currently being
considered. This budget can be bal
anced as certainly as figures can
be depended upon to tell the truth.
It calls for an outlay of 35.1 billion
dollars to come from 31.5 billion of
revenue-just 3.6 billion dollars in
the red. Such shortage need not
exist.
Stay in the Black
The deficit can be offset two or
three times by economy. Most of
the expense items can be Debated
some. Such obligations as social
security, veterans benefits, refunds
and the interest on public debt are
fixed. They can't be cut. But there
are seven other general classified
tions of expenses that ought to be
Debated about so per cent, all told.
If this over-draft can be avoided
it's duty.
Proposed expenses that ought to
be lowered are these:
