Utilize Smoke Pipes Heat

A new device utilizes the heat
from the smoke pipe of a house
heating plant to heat water for
the bathroom, kitchen and laun-
dry. The unit consists of a
jacket of cast iron or aluminium
alloy which is clamped around
the smoke pipe. Cold water from
storage tank travels to the
jacket where it is heated and
then returns to the upper half of
the tank. There is a continuous
circulation of water between the
storage tank and the heating
unit around the smoke pipe. 1t
is claimed that water which en-
ters the unit at a temperature of
48 degrees is heated to a temper
ature of 130 when it leaves. The
unit utilizes heat given off by a
smoke pipe which otherwise is
wasted.

Report To Parents
by
DIR. Martha Nj. Eliot
Chief, Children's Bureau

1t is the fourth of July, a day
to celebrate the country's birth
day.
At one time this was done with
fireworks, to the delight of the
young, of course, but to their
hurt, also. Fireworks have now
been outlawed by most States.
Perhaps it is fitting, at this
time, to call attention to the fact
that still too many accidents are
occurring to our very young
children.
Accidents kill more youngsters,
one to 10 years old, than any
single disease. A third of these
accidents occur in homes.
In New Jersey an unusual at
tempt is being made to do some
thing about this, through pro-
ject sponsored by the New Jersey
Congress of Parents and Teach
ers, the State Health Department,
the Medical Society of New Jer-
sey, the New Jersey Chapter of
the Academy of Pediatrics and
the National Safety Council.
AS a first step, QUESTIONABLE,
called: "What is Your Answer ?"
was sent to 10000 P.T.A. MEM
bers throughout the State.
Questions were asked in a way
to make parents think about how
best to keep their young ones
safe. No one was tipped off as
to the right answers. Replies to
the questionnaire are being tabu-
lated now by the National Safety
Council in Chicago. Results will
be reported in the fall.
Meantime, because of the wide
spread interest in what the best
safety measures are, the sponsors
are furnishing radio stations with
replies that group of experts
have made to the same question
posed to parents. Once a week,
now, parents can check tn
judgement against the experts on
such questions as these:
On a summer day, when a
mother is alone in the house bath
ing her 7-month-old baby and the
door bell rings, should she: ~
Wrap the baby in a blanket and
place him on the table next to
the bathinette ; (2) Place the
baby in sitting position in the
bathinette, go to the door and
ask the person to wait (3)
Quickly dry the baby, wrap him
in a blanket, and take him to
the door with her?; az Not an
swer the doorbell. (The experts
recommend the third alternative. }
While cleaning her house, the
mother of a 4-year-old finds that
the electric cord of a floor lamp
in the living room is badly worn
at the point where it enters the
plug. Should she: a. Attempt to
repair the cord Immediately; (2)
Be sure not to touch the cord
and call a repair man rig h
away?; (3) Make a note to tel
her husband about 2; (4) Pull
the plug out of the socket, rol
up the cord, and tie it up unit
it can be repaired?; Chances are
say the experts, No. 4 is best.
The great value of this ingen
ious project lies in the fun Sc
many parents have had in think
ing, for themselves, about thi'
problem. If this fun becomes in
fectious, we ought to see the
number of deaths from accident:
in homes go down.

Mrs. Vernice Gabriel, Chair
man of the Christmas Seal
Committee, submitted total
of $3.50 as proceeds of the COM
mittee's efforts in selling Christ
mas Seals for six weeks, end
ing December "a, 1858. Mrs.
Gabriel actually collected 1925
of this amount herself. 1t is
interesting to note that the
largest amount sold in any
previous year was $3.50.
Mrs. Gabriel has been aff1li-
ated with the NAACP since she
was 10 years of age and
student at Virginia Union Uni
versity. She has been active in
the Boston Branch since 1947.
When she and her committee
undertook this job, they had no
preconceived ideas that their
task was a simple one, but they
were imbued with the thought
of making the greatest financial
contribution that they could
toward the propagation of the
ideals for which NAACP stands.
They sent out thousands of per-
sonaI letters to members of
the NAACP, and they followed
this up with door-to-door can
wasting in Boston and it's i'm
mediate suburbs. They received
favorable response from peo-
pie of all races in the COM
munities which they visited.
Members of Mrs. GabrieIs COM
mittee are: Mrs, Agnes Hinton,
Mrs. Madeline Conard, Mrs.
Ruth Batson, Mrs. Dorothy
Greene, Mrs. Alma Williams,
Mrs. Jackie Williams and Miss
Alcie Macmillan. The commit
tee, emboldened by their sue
cess of 1858, is of the opinion
that this preSages a more phe-
