Keep An Accident Free Kitchen


The kitchen is the most dangerous
room in the house. A little extra care
there will prevent many costly ac-
cidents..
Good housekeeping, which means
"a place for everything and every
thing in its place" is primary rule
for safety in the kitchen. Plenty of
storage space for kitchen equip
ment near work areas will prevent
many accidents.
Knives and other sharp tools are
involved in IA per cent of all home
accidents. All sharp knives should
be kept in knife rack, special draw
er, or section of a drawer. When
washing dishes, wash and dry knives
separately and do not put them in a
dishpan or sink with other dishes or
utensils.
Keep pans, knives and other uten-
sils out of children's reach. Turning
pan handles away from the front of
the stove will prevent accidental
