Show Tbe Salt Lake Tribune, Just how safe are safes? By Dennis Hinkamp Consumer Information Writer Utah State University Forget all the stuff you see on television and in the movies; most safes are not meant to keep burglars out. Those that are, may not be safe from fire. Just about any kind of safe offers more protection than a shoe box hid- - Dennis Hinkamp Monday, January 13, 1 986 A7 Stopping the injuring, killing of young men Dear Ann Lander: I have been told that if you want a message to reach the heart of America, get it in Ann Landers' column. What I have to say is important and I pray that you will print it. It could save some wonderful young lives. Fraternities are supposed to forge lifelong friendships and promote brotherhood. Sometimes they do haze the pledges in something else a manner so brutal that they are severely injured or killed. More than 24 young men have died in the last six years as a result of fraternity hazing. Severe paddling (one lad required surgery and hospitalization for several weeks), branding with hot irons, forced alcohol consumption and rigorous exercising have been part of the ritual on some campuses. Last year, one week after classes began in Texas, a student was dead. He had been pulled out of bed and subjected to 13 hours of rigorous calisthenics. The young man collapsed and later died of heat stroke. A student from Oklahoma was paralyzed after being.thrown into a pond. Another freshman was made to leap are "Accidental and "isolated words often used to describe hazing incidents. They are neither. They are premeditated, planned occurrences. Serious attention must be paid to these dehumanizing and often dangerous activities. window onto a from a second-storhaystack. He suffered a spinal cord injury and will be confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life. The time is NOW for educational institutions to define their policies and procedures for dealing with hazing before state laws (such as Ohio's) do it for them. We are sending our only son to college next year to get an education. We pray that no fraternity How to avoid a flap over envelopes den under your bed, but most safes wont stop a burglar more than 10 minutes. What most people call safes, and store their valuable papers in, are actually fire files or fire safes. They may have combination locks, but they were never intended to keep burglars out. Fire files often look like ordinary filing cabinets on the outside, but they are insulated to protect records and documents from fire loss. Fire safes offer the same protection, but are built more like conventional safes lt with large storage areas and DEAR HELOISE: I enjoy your timely hints and would like to send you one that I think is very helpful for anyone who is ill or in the hospital. When sending get well cards to someone who is ill, don't seal the envelope, just tuck in the flap. It is hard to realize how weak a sick person may be and envelopes are sometimes hard enough to open when you have a lot of strength. I have seen cards lay unopened for days because it's too much of an effort to open them. If you send money or a check, then of course you should seal the enveMrs. Francis Falada lope. A good point.

Fire safes are rated A, B or C Laboratories acby Underwriters cording to the degree of protection they provide. A fire safes are rated to protect their contents for up to four hours at 1,700 degrees. "B" fire safes offer the same heat resistant protection for two hours and grade C for one hour. Fire files are rated either C or "D. The "D rating means the file is able to withstand 1,700 degrees for one hour. A C rating means the file can withstand the same amount of heat and time plus a drop, as might occur when a floor collapses in a burning office building. Fire safes and files are insulated with a material that releases a mist when heated, which in turn keeps the contents of the safe or file below the combustion point. Office equipment salesmen say fire files may be the best buy for the average consumer because they offer a large space for the least amount of money. Fire safes are more expensive and their combination locks provide only minimal protection. Money safes, on the other hand, are designed to keep burglars out, but usually do not provide much fire protection. Many, though, have fire files built inside them. i. 40-fo- ot 350-degr- ise DEAR HELOISE: My sons football uniform has white pants and the h spray and detergent didnt take out the ground-i- n dirt.

It makes paint removal easier, too. have a hint that came from my granddaughter, and I think many people with wooden rockers can use it. My wooden rocker had a habit of "walking while rocking and often I would rock up against the wall or out of the room. My granddaughter asked me why I didn't make booties for the rocker. It sounded like a good idea so I told her to make some for me. She got some yarn almost the color of the wood and knitted a square. She folded it in half, sewed the side and one end together and slipped it over the rocker. It works great! No more marked walls and woodwork. Several of my friends liked the idea so much they now use booties on their rockers. I spray the badly soiled areas and let them soak in the washer overnight in water to which I'd added about a half cup of dishwasher detergent. I start the washer so the dishwashing detergent is mixed through it, then turn off the washer and add the uniform. The next morning, I start the washer and let the pants finish washing using regular detergent. The pants have come out clean and Karon D.D. white every time. DEAR HELOISE: For those who hate to open canned dog food, try this: Open the can at both ends. Very carefully so as not to cut yourself, push the dog food out of the bottom with the lid you opened from the top. The dog food slides out. No more mess or scraping to get the food out of the can! Kris Michaud This tip only works on solid type food. You'll have a real mess if you do this with a beef and gravy mixture. Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I have learned from my tips and would like to pass this one along. After washing the pressure cooker, I remove the sealing ring and overpressure plug, wipe them and store separate from the lid. The plug goes into a tiny jar (so as not to lose it) and the sealing ring is left loose from the lid. The rubber lasts much, much Louise Kinsel longer this way. DEAR HELOISE: Heres a tip for nursing mothers. Instead of buying a box of nursing pads, use thin panty liners. They are less expensive, serve two purposes and have adhesive tape that will secure them snuggly to your bra (no more embarrassing losses). Just cut one in half or to desired size. K.C.R. Presto! DEAR HELOISE: I love your column and have used several of your hints. Mrs. Nelly Parker DEAR HELOISE: Here are a couple of hints for smokers. If cigarette ashes drop off a cigarette onto the carpet, they can be easily cleaned up without all the bother of getting out the vacuum or broom and dustpan or a wet sponge. Just take a piece of facial tissue, fold it several times and wet a corner of it. Get it real wet and dont squeeze it dry. Then, vnry carefully touch the ashes witi. the wet tissue and the shows an interest in him. mous In New York Anony- Dear Anonymous: At this moment, anti-hazin- legislative g measures have been enacted in 18 states. Six additional states are taking the matter under consideration. My question: What's the matter with the other 26? How many more young men must be killed or crippled before something is done? This cruel and senseless practice must be stopped at once. I urge every parent who has knowledge of such activities to contact your representative and senators and insist on action.

Another hint is for those who empty ashtrays into the toilet but find the cigarette butts are still there after the toilet is flushed. Again, the tissue comes in handy. Just spread a piece of tissue over the top of the butts as they are floating on the water and then flush they are gone! Caution: Never flush kitchen paper towels because they usually stop up the drain and cause the toilet to overflow. Gene Bordenkircher Good advice.
