Safety Precautions
Cited For Operating
Television Sets

Your television set was manu-
factured with safety in mind, but
there are a few rules you should
follow to prevent it becoming a
fire hazard.
Harry ]. Callan, Ohio State Fire
Marshal, lists a few things you
should know about your television
set in order to avoid fire or
shock.
Don't try to repair your tele-
vision set; it is too complex for
amateur tinkering and you could
set a severe shock. Call in a
competent repairman.
Be careful not to cover UP the
ventilation holes which the manu-
facturer provided in your tele-
vision set, or place the set on a
table too small for the legs to
provide the necessary air space
underneath. Do not install your
set in tight cubicle unless it was
especially manufactured for such
installation. These precautions
are important because television
sets generate considerable heat
and this heat accumulates danger
ously if ventilation is cut off.

Wool Suits Need
Careful Handling
For Long Wear

Loving care can keep your wool
suits looking like new for years.
SO perhaps few hints on clothes
care will help you, keep getting
compliments on your favorite suit
(This goes for the man in the FAM
lily, tooD
Regular care for wool garments
is important. This includes
brushing after wearing and hang
ing to air on well shaped wooden
hangers. Removing spots while
they are still fresh helps cut dry
cleaning bills. Grease can be re-
moved by rubbing cornstarch or
talcum into the spot until it abb
serbs the grease, then brushing
out. Pepsin powder (avallable at
drug stores) will help stains Of
eggs, milk, or chocolate. Sponge
first with water, work in pepsin
powder, let stand 80 minutes, and
sponge again.
And here are a few "don'ts":.
Overlook, pockets, keep coat but
toned when sitting a long time,
go too long without cleaning, let
spots stay in cloth.
When you press at home use
o dry cloth next to the garment
and a damp one over that. Then
use iron lightly.

who watch segments of it do
not do so at the same time.
Today" of course, is pri-
marily a news program. The
great departure from the old
radio tradition has been in tele-
visions use of middle aged and
elderly Hollywood movies. The
boys in charge of this depart
ment get their moneys worth
out of a film. They have shown
no qualms about repeating these
television shows twice, thrice
and then thrice again.
"Her Sisters Secret" must
have been on the air at least as
often as Arthur Godfrey by this
time. The theory in the case of
the movies on TV, of course, is
that a film is brand-new to any
one who has not seen it before.
If it is unreeled in the after
noon for the housewife trade,
there is no reason why it
shouldn't be screened again at
night for an entirely different
audience.
It is high time this TV movie
theory was allowed to penetrate
some other areas of program
ming. This was brought to
mind again last week when
"Ask Washington" an NBC-TV
program not usually seen here,
was telecast by WNBW. cts

Even If it were seen locally
it still would be missed by a
great many televiewers, and this
is unfortunate. "Ask WASH
ington" is a descendant of a
program developed by Spon-
taneous combustion at the Re-
publican convention. In it's
newest form, as produced by
Ted Ayers. its moderator Is
Frank Blair and the viewer
queries are answered by a "ro-
tating" nine-man panel Of NBC
commentators. The questions
cover a wide range of politics
and the operation Of the Gov
ernment and it is a lively, in
teresting and informative half
hour. ASK Washington" is a
program a man or woman 9TH

might well like to see at night.
'Ask Washington" is followed
on the NBC network on week.
days by an hour-long telecast Of
the United Nations in session.
