The Picture Of Health
by Robert A. Arens, MD. ~
Is That Accident Necessary?
~

The two leading sources of &C
cident patients are the home
and the highway. Consider this:
World War II rendered $500
U. S. fighting men paraplegic-
paralyzed in the legs. In the same
period, 10000 U. S. civilians
reached the same condition be-
cause of auto crashes.
Most accidents at home are
now reported to be caused by
power lawn mowers, for the men
and boys, and electric mixers,
for the women and small chill
dren. The safest practice is to
let only adults operate either
device, keep your balance when
dealing with power mower and
keep your feet and fingers entire
ly away from it. Some mowers
also throw stones and other pro-
jectiles nearly as fast as bullet,
so be prepared to clear the lawn
of debris and the area of people
before moving. In operating
mixers, be certain the switch is
turned off-or plug pulled out
before touching any part but the
handle. Fingers are in constant
danger.
An astonishing number of peo-
pie have unprotected chain pulls
on the lights near the bathtub,
or little radios nearby that can
fall into the tub and electrocute
them. Or they have open cellar
trap doors with no guard rail.
Or they work with volatile clean
ing fluid in closed rooms where
even refrigerator spark would
cause explosion; or else they
breathe the non-explosive but
poisonous vapors of carbon tetra-
chloride. Women continue to hold
a match to the oven after the gas
flame is out instead of opening
windows and clearing the room.
Infants are still left unattended
near automatic wringers which
can cost them a hand or an arm.
Develop your sixth sense about
the accident-to-be, especially in
home where not everyone is
adult, spry and quick-witted.
Just find it before it happens and
see that it doesn't.

Father Of Space Age
DR.. Goddard is not only the

as the true father Of the space

have their own legitimate cam

DR.. Goddard's concept Of a
liquid fueled rocket got scant
attention when he first out
lined it in a 1916 Smithsonian
Institution paper. Those who
thought much about rockets at
all considered solid propulsion
the best bet, and then only for
artillery and other short-range
purposes.
After his first brief success
with a flimsy rocket with the
motor at the front and the
fuel tanks at the rear, DR..
