range or other cooking or
heating appliances.
Grease Fires
Important as fire prevention
is. knowing how to put out q
fire in the home may also save
lives. If grease takes fire when
frying or broiling, 1t should be
smothered. In a frying pan
put on a close fitting lid inn
mediately to shut out oxygen;
in a broiler, shake on baking
soda or salt. both Of which are
handy in the kitchen. II the
fame has just started, it may
also be smothered by covering
with q wet towel. Homemade
ers apparently need to know
that pouring water on q grease
fire is the worse thing you
can do. Il is likely to spatter
and spread the flaming grease.
Pouring water on an electric
fire also is dangerous because
water is a conductor of elec-
tricity.
The Kitchen waste basket is
another fire hazard. It should
be non-fiammable and there
should be a fire extinguisher
In the kitchen. For safety.
electric appliances should be
connected to appliance OUT
lets, never to light sockets,
and the appliance should be
turned of before the plug is
disconnected from the socket.
If you smell gas. use a fash
light NEVER a match.
If you can't locate the leak,
open a window and then call
for a repair man.
Curtains and dish towels
present a hazard II they hang
close enough to the stove so a
breeze can blow them against
the flame or heated surface.
II you have wooden shelves on
the wall behind the range. the
underside of the bottom shelf
should be protected with as
bestos to eliminate the danger
Of fire.
Good fire prevention means
careful vigilance all year
round, not just during one
lone week Of the year.

ny SAOAE II nOAAAANHAs
The week Of October 9-l5
has been proclaimed as Nation-
al Fire Prevention Week. OF
all the special weeks that clut-
ter the calendar throughout
the course of the year. here
is one that merits the atten-
ton of every man, woman and
child in the land.
Adding up the accidents that
happen in the home. the ones
that occur the most frequently
to women and children are
fires and burns. Alarming as
it sounds, fire wardens say 80
per cent Of fires take place in
homes and dwellings and Of
this number about so per cent
are kitchen fires that could
have been prevented If a little
care had been exercised.
Few homemakers realize the
many fire hazards lurking in
their kitchens. Who would
even think of cocoa or -four as
a IRE hazard?s When -four is
sifted into an open pan to make
gravy, or cocoa into a mixture
for incing, 1t Is broken up into
q fine dust. If some Of those
tiny particles should happen to
fall into the flame, they may
flare. If you're wearing . dress
Of, thin material or Q filmy
negligee there's grave danger
that 1t, too, will catch on fire.
An Ounce Of Prevention
Many Of the ever-increasing
fires that happen around the
home could be prevented by
observing a few simple safety
rules and acquiring an under
standing Of how a fire starts.
Avis Woolrich, home econ
oinist who has been the USDA
member on the Home Safety
Conference, National Safety
Council says that among the
10 principal causes of home
fires rural and urban last
year are four that concern the
home kitchen: Cd Smoking
and handling of matches. par
ticularly matches in the hands
Of young children; e, Misuse
of electricity. especially too
many appliances on one circuit
or high wattage heating equip
ment used on wires not ade-
quate to carry the load; go
Defective or overheated cook
ing equipment. such as a stove
that has been left on and for
gotten, frayed wires on toaster.
coffee pot or iron; or a short
circuit; % Careless handling
of fiammable fluid. such as
cleaning fluids or kerosene oil
used in oil heaters.
Though homemakers h ave
long been cautioned against
dry cleaning at home. they APP
parently still do it and
often do IL indoors which
makes it particularly danger
Gus. Safety specialists point
out that the fiammable vapor
from cleaning fluids may carry
or flow as far as 200 feet and
thus reach a fame in the
kitchen even though the
cleaning was done In another
room in the house.
Because children and

OF the most frequently re
ported causes of home fires.
parents may well consider how
matches may be kept out Of
sight and reach of children.
Matches also should be kept

Crops For Canning

Delaware farmers.

planned L. NJ. Goodwin, Delaware
representative Of the American Can
Company.
He pointed out that while 1854
farm income from vegetables for
processing did not break any rec
Ords, it was 81 million greater than
the average for the 10-year period
ending in 1852.
Goodwin added that Delaware
ranks second among the states in
the production of lima beans for
processing. 1t also is an important
producer of such processing crops
as asparagus, snap beans and to-
matoes. He explained that last year
the state planted almost 40 thou

Explain Some Benefits
OF S. S. Program
CONTINUED from page one)

Continued from page One)
Mr.. MilbOuer explained that the
social security act greatly reduce
the eligibility requirement neces-
sary to qualify for monthly social
security benefits. However, the law
limited these easier requirements
to living workers, or to persons
who died after August 81, 1850
Where an individual died before
that date, he had to meet much
more difficult requirements before
benefits could be payable to his
survivors.
The amendments to the social
security law enacted this year, he
added, have remedied this situation
by now making it possible to make
payments to survivors Of workers
who died before September, 1850,
on the same basis as those who
died later.
"One of the reasons eligible sur
vivOrs may not be getting in touch
with us" Mr.. MilbOuer said, ''is
that we have told them in the past
Llldk LuEY WEAG AAOk CAAe3 3AnAC 0INGANoC
the wage Garner had not worked
long enough under social security
to qualify. That has now been
changed and in many cases monthly
payments may now be made"
Any child, widow or dependent
parent, who is not receiving social
security payments and who is the
survivor of worker who died be-
fore September 1850, after having
one and a half years work under
social security, is urged to get in
touch with the Social Security Off
ice at S13 West Street, Wilmington,
Delaware, to inquire about the
effect this new change in the law
may have on his benefit rights.

dents, a representative of the Will

Mulches Protect Trees
From Winter Cold
And Summer Heat

Shade and ornamental trees
would be far thriftier if they had
mulches around their roots.
Mulches, says Don Cantwell, Of
the Bartlett Tree Experts, serve
two important purposes: ID Tenn
nerature control by narrowing the
thermal fluctuations Of the soil
around the roots in winter and
summer, and ~ Humidity control
by preventing roots from being
cooked" in summer and frozen in
winter. More damage is being done
by hot summers, however, than
cold winters.
Mr. Cantwell holds that mulches
may we'll be good way to halt the
decline in tree vigOr that has been
going on for more than decade.
During II of the past Is years,
rainfall in most of the eastern Uni
ted States has been below normal.
The accumulating effects of this on
trees are telling indede.
Planting grass right up to trunk
line denies trees natural mulch.
1t would be far better if circular
opening two feet in diameter were
left around the trunks, especially
Of younger trees. Into this opening
put a 1-tO-2 inch layer of peat moss
or other good mulch.
Pines, spruces, and other ever
greens particularly require mulch.
The owner of a beautiful row Of
spruce raked up fallen needles each
year. Within a few months 2 out
of every trees came down with
CytOspOra, twig blight that works
into the tissues beneath the bark
into the branches and trunk. The
tree owners error was discovered
in time. A needle mulch was re-
turned to the trees and with the
aid of feeding and spraying the dis
ease was cleared up.
Pine and spruce needles disinte-
crate slowly, but they are natures
mulch.
Mulches should be packed down
and not be too thick near the
trunkline because this lures mice
which may girdle the tree.
There is a laudable growing ten

fall and use them as tree mulch.
Sawdust has been used effectively
as mulch on a Maine farm for 20
years. Wood chips make good null
ches and are inexpensive if the
haUlage is not too far. Elm chips
should be no larger than 2 inches
in diameter, to avoid harbOring elm
bark beetles.
Marsh hay is an excellent mulch
/ Seaweed is good after the salt has
been leached out. Pebbles make
ideal mulch for orchard trees
Some nurserymen use glass wool
as mulch because it is insect free
but it has a tendency to break
down in winter. Spent hOpa, sphag.
mum moss and peat moss have beer
used for years. Now experiments
are being conducted to determine
the effectiveness of pulverized cork
