Wise SteplGdder
Use Eases Spring
Cleaning Chores

Using sturdy syepladder correctly
makes house clea4ing easier and
safer, according TO Thelma Beall,
Ohio State University home manage
ment specialist. She lists . pre-
cautions for sanef stepladder use.
First, always extend stepladder
legs as far as they'll go. Leaning
folded stepladders against a wall
or doorway invites slips and falls.
Rubber feet on the stepladder legs
are additional non-slIid insurance, the
specialist adds.
Standing low on the ladder helps
keep it from tipping. This also
gives the homemaker a chance to
grab the side of the ladder to steady
herself if necessary.
Cleaning supplies on ladder steps
also may cause falls. Miss Beall
urges homemakkrs to use the shelf
on their bidder if it has one.
If the ladder Doesn't have a shelf,
high table beside the ladder makes
a handy placeI to lay equipment.
The smart Romemaker places her
ladder so she can reach her work
without leaning too far to either
side. When the homemaker leans
sideways, the ladder may slide out
from under her.h
Finally Miss Beall says it's just
common sense to check the ladder to
see that it is tight and sturdy before
using it.

Why 90 we now have only three Negro policemen?

To The Editor:

IL mas Deen nearly two
months since the Supreme
Court handed down it's mo-
mentous decision in favor
of migrating the public
school system I have read
and reread many articles on
both good OF bad effects
this decision might have OIL
both races. To my humble
way of thinking, most Of the
articles l have read remind
me very much of the old
story of Chicken Little"
who thought that the Whole
world was falling apart
when it was only a leaf that
fell on his tail. 1t is my be-
lief that we are working
ourselves up to a fever
pitch over something that,
at best, should only call for
patience, careful planning,
tolerance and a spirit of
brotherhood.
There are 48 states in the
United States, and of this
number only 16 have the
segregated S y s t e m. For
many years 80 of our states
have been operating with
out segregation and have
not fallen apart at the
seams. This is conclusive
evidence that the South can
and should do the same.
The Supreme Court has
decided against segregation
in schools, therefore let us
accept the decision and not
lose time talking of circum-
venting it. This decision is
the greatest instrument Of
faith and justice that the
Court has, handed down
since 1865. If the people Of
these 16 states, in a spirit
of calmness and fairness,
will sit down jointly. and
face this problem squarely,
we will have no difficulty
in implementing this deci-
sion.
Whether we are willing to-
accept it or not, the Bible
states that Coz; created all
men of one blood, thus
charging us all to be our
brothers keeper.
In attempting to solve the
problems of the world and
especially our great nation,
we are challenged as Chris
tian people to extend broth
erhood to all men on an
equal basis - regardless of
their race, creed or nation
atty. Let us not be like
Chicken Little" Let us put
our faith in God, our Shout
ders to the wheel, and work
in conjunction to effect this
great, humane decision.
