Like lightning, accidents can
S strike anywhere at any time.
They can strike in the home or on
the highways; while we are going
quietly about the business of the
day, and while we are relaxing
when the days work is done. 1t is
sad, but true, that every year
about 100000 reported accidents
occur in that traditional haven of
safety, the home.
Fortunately, the majority of
home accident injuries are not Sc
rious in themselves, but many of
t h e m become serious through
neglect that leads to infection or
other complications. Safeguard
your f a mily against the conse-
quences of neglect by cleaning out
of the medicine chest old pre-
scription medicines, squeezed-out

such a clean-out usually reveals.
Your druggist will be able to
provide a complete list of the
items generally recommended for
inclusion in the family medicine

of accident injuries the most fire.
quently needed items are sterile
gauze pads, absorbent cotton,
roller bandages, adhesive ban

and burn ointment.
For more general use you will
want a clinical thermometer, cot

occasions, and you should have,

1 am applying the above advice to
our own home, for a few weeks ago
I got a rather bad burn on my right
arm and when we looked in the
medicine cabinet it was bare as far
as the necessary items to take care
of a burn were concerned. In any
case, since this is housekeeping
time, it is certainly advisable to
check up on your medicine cabinet.
It's strawberry time again and
what wonderful delicious desserts
we can make out of these colorful
tasty berries. When we think of
Strawberries somehow we always
think of strawberry shortcake. Some
like the kind made with rich bis
cult dough, others like it made with
cake, while others insist on sponge
cake. No matter how you make it
you can be sure it will be good and
probably, more than any other des-
sert, be pleasing to the whole fam
lily If you like the biscuit type and
are in a hurry (and who isn't?) you
can use the packaged biscuit mix,
cutting biscuits with a larger cutter
than you usually use for biscuits.
Or maybe, to save time, you just
stop by the bakers and buy a few
of the berry dessert cups, fill each
with sugared berries or berries and
sliced bananas. Serve with whip
ped cream atop or custard sauce.
Or you might fill dessert cups with
ice cream and sliced berries.
On the other hand, you may want
to bake your own, SO here is a good
recipe for biscuit shortcake, that is
different and very good

Eyita Still Delaying
Nomination Approval
BY the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
Aug. 28.-President Peron and his
blond wife. Eva, kept the country
guessing today as to whether they
would "bow to popular will" to
become man-and-wife rulers of
Argentina for the next six years.
But rumors persist among op-
position and even some pro-Peron
sources that Mrs. Peron-who has
risen to the position of one of the
most powerful women in Western
Hemisphere politics-will decline
the vice presidential nomination.
Formal nomination by the Pc
Ironista Party was handed to the
couple yesterday, putting them up
Jas running mates for the Novem-
Der IL election. But they would
mot commit themselves to formal
acceptance of the nomination.
The formal notification-re-
Iquired by the electoral law-was
made five days after a mass rally
at which followers of the govern
Iment-backed General Confedera-
ton OF Labor and members of the
Peronista Party loudly demanded
that Peron run for reelection
and his wife, run with him on a
Peron-Peron ticket.
The delay between this "popu-
lar demand" and the formal
nomination, has been ascribed to
the reported desire by the Presi-
dent to consult army leaders as
to whether his wife would be ac-
ceptable as vice presidential can

that I am going to have some

Then reporters wanted to know
whether he had received a friend

AT first the Ambassador replied in

DR.. Juraj Slavic, who was the

until the Soyiet-dominated regime

that he should be kept waiting
until the American Ambassador in

and at typical Communist trial,
