Safety Council News

Fatal home accidents in Della
ware were reduced last year for the
second successive year. the Della
ware Safety Council announced
yesterday.
Last year there were 81 deaths
due to home accidents, showing a
reduction of SO per cent from the
56 accidents OF 1859. An even sharp
er reduction occurred that year,
when accidents were reduced 17.9
per cent from the 81 recorded in
1858.
j. II. Tyler Mcconnell. president
OF the Safety Council. said 1t Is sig
nificant that the reduction in fatal
home accidents last year occurred
in deaths from falls. There were
only is such deaths in Delaware In
1860 as compared with 32 the year
before.
In all probability the reduction
should be credited to the vastly
increased attention given to pre-
vention OF falls In safety education
efforts last year, Mr.. Mcconnell
said. He said the Safety Council
stepped up its efforts to publicize
ways OF preventing falls and that
schools. industry and other safety
conscious groups cooperated. THE
extremely gratifying figures show
the results. and demonstrate once
again that safety education and
sensible accident prevention work
pay of" he declared.
Schools took part in the cam
paign against injury by falls last
April by distributing home safe
ty check list prepared by the Safe
ty Council and encouraged sixth
grade children to take II home and
use 1t. Children checked their
homes for safety against falls. get
ting the aid of their parents In
eliminating the 16 different hazards
listed Cooperation was magniii-
cent" said Mr. Mcconnell. II think
there can be no doubt that the
schools. the children and their
parents have together helped 70
save lives and TO prevent injuries
by making Delaware homes safer"
Similarly, he said. prevention OF
falls was emphasized last spring
in the off-the-job safety program
carried out by many industrial
firms In cooperation with the Safe
ty Council. Educational material
from the council. emphasizing home
hazards and how. to do away. with
them was also brought to the pub
lies attention by Delaware news
papers and radio stations.
The statistics on fatal home ac-
cidents were reported in the cur
rent issue of the Home Safety
Leader. publication OF the Safe
ty Council which Mr.. Mcconnell
also credits with its share in the
progress being achieved.
He said there were more deaths
from home fires in Delaware last
year than the year before. The re-
port shows 19 such deaths in 1860
as compared with 13 IN 1859 and
"a in 1858. There were six deaths
from suffocation last year. as COM
pared with five each In the two
preceding years. Poison caused two
home fatal accidents last year.
There were three in 1859 and only
one in 1858. Other home fatal ao-
cidents caused four deaths last
year. one the year before and seven
in 1858.

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: AS the holi-
day season approaches and
Christmas programs will be
given at schools, I would like
your opinion on saving seats"
for people who are not pre-
sent. In the past, I have come
to school auditoriums and
sat down only to have some
one chase me out of the seat
saying, Sorry, but this seat
is saved"
I have seen people save a
whole row. I've stood for an
entire two-hour performance
while some of the saved"
seats remained unoccupied.

grams. Thank you.
TIRED OF STANDING
Haven't you ever heard of
"squatter's rights? Just
squat and tell the seat saver"
that he is entitled only to the
seat on which he himself
has squatted. You might get
a dirty look, but it's better
than standing for two hours.

DEAR ABBY: I've been

finally asked me for a date,

didn't appreciate it very
much, I acted very cold to-
ward him and We fought and
argued the whole time.
I don't call this much Of
a date. I suppose I sound
silly, but I would like to go
out with him again. I mean
on a real date. I think he
would be a swell boy friend.
How can I get another date
with him?

You can read a child's i'm
age of himself in his actions.
If he thinks he's tough, it
shows. If he thinks he's
afraid, 1t shows. If he thinks
he's good, it shows. If he
thinks he's bad-oh, how it
does show!
He is what he thinks he is
and every action is designed
to prove it.
How did he get this way?
He didn't do it all alone; he
had plenty of help. He de-
veloped his image Of himself
in the same way we all did.
by seeing how others reacted
to him. II those around him
thought of him as a clown.
that's the way he acted.
That's the way he was in
their eyes, so that's the way
he became in his cwn.
The Redheads' Problem
If he was born with red
hair and every temper tan
trum was explained, within
hearing, by, "All redheads
have hot tempers." the
chances are good that he'll
always have trouble holding
his temper.
We all have our pictures.
They may not be so easy to
read as a child's, because
children are not conditioned
to practice deception. Most
of us guard our pictures so
closely that others don't
always see them. This can
lead to difficulties when the
image is not really true. Par
ticularly when it keeps us
from doing our best.
Every teacher meets good
students who perform better
than anyone has a right to
expect. They are lucky. They
see themselves as being capa-
BILE. and are confident.
Not so lucky are the un-
successful students who have
real ability but are not aware
Of it. They see themselves as
being incapable, and lack
confidence.

MASON ON EDUCATION
Juniors S SeIf-|moqe
May Be Handicap

We act like the persons we
are. II we see ourselves as
being able to handle a situa-
ton. we at least give 1t a
good try. If we are certain
that We can't, we are whipped
before we begin.
Good Mind Hidden
The student who is con-
vinced that he can't learn
easily may be hiding a per-
fectly good mind behind a
false image. Someone or
something has convinced him
that he can't learn. and tell
ing him that he's wrong won't
help. 1t must be demon
Strated. That picture is Of
HIM, and he is most reluc-
tant to change it.
These patterns can be
changed. Our personal i'm
age is constantly being re-
newed, retouched and re-
painted. New viewpoints are
added as we become con-
vinced they should be. The
slow worker can be led to
discover that he can work
faster. After he has demon
stated his new ability to him
self often enough to believe
it, his picture begins to
change.
The student who is GER
tain he can't learn is less
certain when some teacher
takes the trouble to demon
Strate to him that he can.
AS the demonstrations con-
tinue, he begins to see him
self. and his abilities, in a
new light. It's far easier to
help a child get the right"
picture in the first place
than to change a wrong"
one. The only way to make
such a change is to change
your behavior toward him.
See, and react, to him as he
is-not as he acts. 1t isn't
easy-and it isn't very fast
but when he begins to see
that his picture is wrong. he'll
make the change himself.
