Fatalities
Have Increased
Over 1861

Fatal home accidents in the
first ee-quarters of this year
are already 46 per cent above
the total for all of 1861, the
Delaware Safety Council re-
ported yesterday.
In 1861 a total of 35 per-
sons died in home accidents
In Delaware--the lowest total
In many years. Up to Septem-
Der 80. this year, 81 persons
have died In home accidents
in the state.
Of the 81 deaths, almost half
--24--were due to falls. Fires
accounted for IA deaths; suffo-
cation, six; poison, two; fire
arms, TWO; and other circm-
stances, three.
The number of home fatalities
has varied considerably from
year TO year. II was OF In
1883, then dropped to So In
1859, and to 81 in 1860, and
fell to 35 In 1861. In those four
years a fast downward trend
was noted. Now this has sud-
denly been reversed, 1t was
pointed out by Mrs. william N.
Cam, the Safety Councils vice
president for home safety.
Noting that many of the falls
which account for a high pro-
portion of fatal accidents In the
home involve older persons. she
called for extra care In making
home conditions safe for senior
citizens. Installation of adequate
handles for safety In getting In
and out of bath tubs is one
example of the extra care need
ed, she said. Another is avoid
ing the use of slippery small
rugs.

school director Mile Afford, who has
watched over 1900 students receive their
diplomas from the American Airlines
finishing school.
For one thing" Miss Afford told us,
'the airline stewardess meets more different
kinds Of men on her job than girls in any
other profession. Once she settles on a
husband, she no longer experiences that
anxious curiosity about other men,"
Gracious hostess, ideal wife
"Our curriculum also specializes in
conversation" Miss Afford went ON. "I
mean not only how to talk Interestingly =
but, even more important, how to recognize
when person doesn't sUant % talk.
But most important of all, (" she said,
your airline stewardess is q thoughtful
person, devoted to the idea Of service. A
girl who can serve seventy meals in bumpy
weather to seventy demanding personalities
and then ask, What can do for you now?'
becomes the worlds most gracious hostess
and an ideal wife. After all, a girl who can
manage PlanelOad can run household"
So the secret for the remarkably low
l-ih-47 divorce rate is out. SiesUurdesses
hare inbOVn bridal instincts that haze been
sh0vPeDed at school and in tbe air. The host.
tess husband, in turn, is so confoundedly
appreciative and happy that ne wOuldn't
give the girl up for all the angels in heaven.
How can wives profit from the expert
ence of airline hostesses? Wen, there's
nothing in the world to keep the wives of
America from tip-toeing up to their hus-
bands easy chair as he reads late at night
and whispering those proven words of

the rate Of divorce is generally at its peak.
The frequency Of divorce and annul-
ment rises rapidly after the first few months
Of marriage, reaches maximum during the
third year, and thereafter declines, ," reports
DR.. Paul H. Jacobson in his authoritative
book, american Marriage and Divorce"
Airline executives have long suspected
that they had hit upon some secret for
training wives.
what we've been doing" says Bill
Borden, manager of hostess training for
TWA in Kansas City, els to recruit brides
for the nations bachelors. By the time a

been flying for year, she's combination
mother, teacher, nurse, cOn6dante, comfor-
ter, cook and companion. She knows when
to talk, when to listen, how to entertain and
be gracious. What more can a man want?''
We took q look at the curriculum
offered at American Airlines' 22-acre stew
ardess academy at Fort Worth, Texas.
Need long @TDss
The first requisite we found was that
stewardess candidates be between 5,2' and
5'9' tall. Their weight cannot exceed l4O
pounds. They must also have long arms in
order to reach the overhead racks. These
attributes can probably be dismissed as
forces contributing to low divorce.
However, the subjects taught at hostess
school gave us a clue. They embrace
courses in dining service, tray setting,
grooming, hair-stying. cabin-management,
child psychology, human relations and
emergency procedures" and certainly help
prepare young lady for wifehoOd.
But the really trenchant explanation for
the whole divorce phenomenon came from

Circular Cuff

/ love the look OF a cuff
on a long, fitted sleeve. The
cuff can be formed by turn
ing back the faced edge Of a
sleeve. or a separate cuff may
be attached to the sleeve.
The separate cuff can be flat

Here are some hints on
making the circular cuff:

interfacing is used, place it
on the wrong side of the
outer cuff and stay-stitch
them together.
2. Stitch the two ends Of
the outer cuff together so
the cuff forms a circle.
Take the under cuff and trim
off one-eighth inch from the

Purking Ticket Caps
Zoo Misodventures

When she got home, Mrs.
Mayeux sat down and wrote
a check for IS and sent it with
a letter to Municipal Court.
She wrote, more in sorrow than
anger, that the sign where she
left her car read Park Paral-
lei" but her violation notice
was marked Fail to Park
Parallel"
IT thought it meant parallel
to the other cars. Evidently it
meant park parallel to the
curb" Mrs. Mayeux wrote, but
there is no curb"
No Other Cars
When she arrived at the
parking lot there we're no other
cars there for her to park
parallel to. Therefore, all sub
sequent arrivals parked paral-
lei to her, Mrs. Mayeux said,
and they got tickets, too.
Before she could work out in
her mind what it was she was
supposed to park parallel to.
the baby fell and Mrs. Mayeux
no longer concentrated on the
meaning of the sign.
Municipal Court relayed Mrs.
Mayeux' letter to the Zoo.
This week T. E. Fauntleroy,
jr., assistant to the Zoo Direc-
tor, after consultation with the
Zoo police Cancelled the park
ing ticket and mailed Mrs.
Mayeux back her IS check.

DuIIesAcces
Held Domain
OF Virginia

The Virginia Highway De-
partment should take over the
entire 16-mile Dulles Airport
access road and its extra right
of-way in Fairfax and Loudoun
counties, Representative Broy-
hill. Republican of Virginia,
said today.
Mr.. Broyhill asked H. H. Har-
ris, Virginia State Highway
Commissioner, to ask the Fed
eral Aviation Agency if the
State can take over the entire
facility.
The Dulles road is important
because it is the major trans
portation route for hundreds Of
thousands of residents who are
expected to live along a radial
corridor of community growth
between Washington and the
airport. The radial corridor was
proposed in the Year 1000 Plan
by regional planning groups.
In the letter, made public
today, Mr.. Broyhill said the
original law providing for the
access road permitted future
acquisition by a State agency.
1t has been suggested that the
local highway department take
over the extra right-of-way
purchased for the access road.

When trouble comes it usual
ly comes in punches, an Alex
andria (Va) housewife learned
on a recent trip to the Wash
ington Zoo.
Mrs. M. L. Mayeux Of 1913
Lomack court Alexandria,
started out for the Zoo on June
% with five childen. all under
the age Of 3. They were going
to look at the animals, have
some refreshments and, in
general, have a nice outing.
The first thing that hap
pened was an eight-month-
old baby in the car fell on
the floor and bumped her head
while Mrs. Mayeux was park
ing. Tears flowed and had to
be kissed away.
When the commotion died
down, Mrs. Mayeux took her
five little charges on a tour of
the animal houses. There, a
baboon spit on them.
Frantic Search
On the heels Of this indig-
nifty, a 2-year-old child in the
marty somehow wandered AWAY
and q frantic search ensued
Finally, the fodder was 10
Gated. A kind lady had the
child safely in tow.
Finally. Mrs. Mayeux led her
group back to the car and
found a parking ticket on her
windshield. The penalty was
IS. Mrs. Mayeux figured her
cup had run over.

more apartments" Mr.. oBrien
said.
IF you're going to figure like
that you might as well cover
the whole county with apart
ments," he added.
Lower Offer Suggested
Mr.. O'Brien proposed that
the board offer the four own
ers of the 81 acres a purchase
price lower. than the appraisal,
or else obtain two more apprais-
ais.
Voting on the low offer ap-
proach, Mr.. OBrien and Mrs.
Blanche Van De Rec were OPP

well E. Brooks and James H.
Harrison. vice chairman. Mrs.
Louise Yuill left before the vote
and w. Carroll Beatty, board
chairman, was absent.
I'VE hired Mr.. Freeman to
make the appraisal so why can't
we use it for our offer for the
land?" asked Mr.. Harrison.
After more discussion, mem
bers decided to first inspect the
property before deciding on a
purchase approach.
Although not opposing a re-
quest for % acres of apartment
rezoning on Branch avenue
south of Manchester drive, the
board asked that its concern
over this and other extensions
of apartments be expressed at
the August is coming hearing

Members then indicated ii

event an earlier letter or verbal
communication from the board
was mislaid or forgotten by the
planners who advise the county
heads on reZoning.

set aside.
Prince Georges now has
enough high density zoned land
to accommodate the anticipated
apartment population for the
next % years, but the surplus
has done nothing to stem the
flow of apartment rezoning re-
quests. according to the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Eugene r. O'Brien, a board
member, said that when the
county commissioners rezone
land for apartments, the school
board is forced to buy nearby
sites at the higher price tackled
onto apartment land, as OPP
posed to less expensive property
classified for single-family use.
$1,000 an Acre
I'm not trying to pass the
buck, but people should know
that when we have to pay
something like $4,000 an acre
for land it's not out fault"
Mr.. O'Brien said.
when we find the only ade-
quate site in a certain area is
surrounded by apartment land,
we're boxed in and run against
the high prices put on potential
apartment ground" he added
His criticism was evoked by
an appraisers report on q
acres the board wants for the
majority of a 30-acre school
site to relieve serious over
crowding at Oxon Hill Senior
High.
The land is located between
Wheeler and Owens roads off
Brierfield road, and was ap-
praised for the board by Dewey
Freeman, a developer of apart
mentS and other projects in
Prince Georges. The board also
wants two elementary school
sites nearby.
Apartment land adjoins the
81 acres and the best use for
ii would also be for apart
ments, Mr.. Freeman said ir

board.
