BARROWS ________________________ Editor & Publisher SAFETY BEGINS AT HOME The period between March 23-29, 1947, has been designated by Governor Maw as Home Safety Week in Utah.' All persons and organizations are invited to cooperate with the Home Division of the Utah Safety Council in making this week an outstanding success by extending and dispensing safety education that will prevent accidents in the home and save life and. property and avoid the sorrow, suffering, and needless destruction that results from these mishaps. "Safe at home" is a paradox. More accidents happen at home than in any other place. The National Safety Council lists the accident death toll in homes of the United States as 34,000 in 1946, an increase of 1 per cent over 1945. There were 148 accidental deaths in home accidents in Utah last year. 76 were due to falls, 64 of which were over 60 years of age; 23 to burns, scalds and fire§; 13 from drownings; 16 from cleaning firearms, etc. It is hoped that the activity in Home $afety during this week will kindle a desire:FIRST-To always be careful; to learn the right way to do things; to develop habits and skills which will safeguard the occupants of the home. SECOND-To awaken a safety consciousness that will recognize and guard against potential hazards. THIRD-To develop a sense of res onsibility in every individual to do everything within his power to safeguard himself and others, especially children and elderly people, from accidents. Parents should teach as well as practiqe rules of safety. FOURTH-To eliminate unsafe conditions in and around the home-to build out dangerous conditions by remodeling, repairing, etc. The Home Division encourages foresight and wisdom in building safety into new homes even though it costs a little more. It will be less expensive in tbe long run. A well built home will retain its value through the years. Also an accident prevented is money in the bank. The theme "SAFETY BEGINS AT HOME" was chosen because it is in the home where the first habits, attitudes •and practices of the child are formed. It will largely determine his behavior on the highway and other public places. Safety at Home means better! happier living for everyone. Better living follows in a home where the house, its equipment, and furnishings are designed and constructed to eliminate hazards at the source or to safeguard against those which cannot be eliminated. Better living follows in a home where the people in it are aware of potential dangers and take precautions to safeguard especially little children, the infirm and elderly members of the family. Better living follows where safe practices in ordinary routine jobs are a matter of habit; and where the household management is orderly-free from hurry, confusion, and emotional tensions. As the safety of the home is improved the integrity of its members will be enhanced. Safety is the thoughtful, careful attitudes which produce order, efficiency, and the responsibility to safeguard lives. These are basic qualities of true character. They make for a finer, stronger citizenry. The cooperation of everyone and every organization is needed to bring this safety education to the homes of our state. The rudiments of safe living must be stressed again and again as "Eternal vigilance is the price of safety" and remember "SAFETY BEGINS AT HOME" ' r -- ' BOOKS At tltRe lLilbrazy "We don't know just how it happened-but the stockholders elected him a member of the board!" By George A. Benson WASIDNGTON, D. C.-To the 80th Congress: Gentlemen, it's letter- writing time, so I salute you. You are under attack, I know. Radio pundits and columnists belabor you. Editorial writers poke fun at you. You are called a "do-nothing Congress," an assembly of presidential candidates more interested in your personal political fortunes than the public welfare. This is a lot of nonsense, but no more than a Republican-controlled Congress could expect after 14 years of the New Deal. Don't let it bother you. And don't let public impatience stampede you into ill-considered action. We are in this mess today because of too much hastily enacted and ill-considered legislation, most of which brought us nearer and nearer the totalitarian state.

They look to you now for sub· stantial relief from the burden of taxation. Some cannot understand why the 20 per cent reduction promised them during the campaign has not been effectuated. They write you, revealing their impatience. They do not understand the enormity of the problems which confront you. Balancing the budget is not merely a matter of passing a resol4j.tion. Neither is tax reduction. After 14 years of prodigious spending, it takes time to make economy effective. It's always difficult to lower your style of living, and this applies particularly to a government.
