 ELECTRICITT - Friend or Foe? 



Electricity is useful and safe when properly handled. Learn to use it 

 safely. Use electric heaters in bathrooms and laundries with care. People have 

 been killed by touching these electric heaters while they are in the bath. Electric 

 bulbs have been known to explode and start a fire when they are used to dry clothes 

 or to warm the bed. Never allow dust to accumulate on an electric bulb. It may 

 cause it to explode in the barn or the attic and start a fire. 



No doubt, you can think of some fire in your neighborhod that has been caused 

 by electric irons, toasters or curling irons having been left connected. Be sure to 

 turn off the switch or disconnect them when leaving the room. This is a must. Keep 

 a sufficient number of 15 amp, fuses on band to replace those that burn out. iiany 

 people are very prone to place pennies and other metals behind the fuse which over- 

 loads the circuit and causes a fire. 



Be sure that the wiring in the house, particularly the lamp cords, are replaced 

 if badly frayed. Employ an expert electrician to replace wiring in the home. 



The other day, I ran across a very excellent safety suggestion for parents and 

 baby sitters. Caution the baby sitter against permitting the child to play with 

 matches or electric appliances. Children have been known to put their fingers into 

 electric light sockets causing a short circuit, badly burning the child, and some- 

 times causing the death of the child; so caution the baby sitters against allowing 

 the children to play with the fixtures* 



In case you found some member of your family unconscious because of elec- 

 tric shock and still in contact with the live wire, what would you do to break the 

 contact? The best and safest method to break such a contact is to knock the mre free 

 or pull the victim away by using a non-conductive materials as a rake, broom, dry 

 branch, dry rope or ;3ust the overcoat. Don't, under any circumstances, allow your | 

 body to come in contact with the person who's still in contact with the live wire, t
