Home accidents kill one person every 15 minutes and iniure someone every six and a half seconds. Injuries alone from mishaps at home reach 4,800,000 a year, according accord-ing to the National Safety council. Approximately 130,000 of these leave permanent marks ranging from simple burns to serious cripplings. Yet the home ac-v cident rate climbs higher every year. Why? The answer, according to the safety council, is that when people peo-ple are at home they unconsciously feel safer from accidents. When completely com-pletely relaxed, they are off guard. This attitude makes them more vulnerable, vul-nerable, accounting for the difficulty in preventing home accidents. Warfare against the menace of home accidents is being carried car-ried on along many fronts. Safety Safe-ty councils, insurance companies compan-ies and government agencies are conducting broad educational campaigns to make people aware of the home front baaard. Effective attacks against the "enemy "en-emy within" are' being launched by a number of manufacturers of home appliances and devices that ordinarily ordinar-ily cause home accidents when carelessly care-lessly used or abused.

At present the project calls for boys and girls living within the farm area bordering New York's metropolitan metro-politan area New Jersey, northeastern north-eastern Pennsylvania, the lower Hudson valley and Long Island to bring up the animals. The area restriction Is imposed because of the need for periodic inspections to make certain the puppies are receiving receiv-ing the early care essential to developing de-veloping sturdy adult dogs. While participation in the program pro-gram is not necessarily limited to teen-agers, it is believed that both as a patriotic project and1 one involving experience in an interesting phase of animal husbandry, hus-bandry, the plan of raising puppies pup-pies until they are old enough to be enlisted in the arm will appeal especially to members of the Boy Scouts, Four-H clubs and other youngsters. On the basis of performance under un-der all climatic conditions, the army has decided to limit its dog force for the time being to German shep. herds. The services of dogs in the recent war convinced the army that the K-9 corps should have a place In its permanent establishment Cowhands Snort at . High Falutin' Hunt PHOENIX, ARIZ.
