A Television Set Can Be Fun, But It Can Be Dangerous, Too
That television set in the dormitory or organized house can provide many hours of enjoyable entertainment, but the entertainment it provides may not be so enjoyable if it becomes a fire hazard.
Move the set so that sunlight can't fall on the magnifying lens. Remember the fish-bowl! Magnified sun rays have been known to set fires.
Other living room hazards are lamp cords and extension cords, if they are worm or broken. Cords in poor condition should be replaced with cords bearing the UL tag. And if fuses blow frequently, have an
According to the National Board of Fire Underwriters, television sets are one of the many causes of fire in the home. Set owners who tinker with the wires and cover up the ventilating holes that dispose of accumulated heat are placing themselves in line for a good fire.
Set owners should be sure that the T-V aerial is properly installed with a lightning arrester since the aerial may increase the danger of lightning striking the house.
Another room that can become a fire hazard is the bedroom. Fire are caused in the bedroom by:
1. Falling asleep while smoking in bed. Toxic gases from the smoldering mattress are likely to render you unconscious before the heat can rouse you.
2. Failing to turn off a portable oil or gas heater before going to bed. Many persons suffocate because they used unvented oil or gas heaters in tightly closed rooms. Above all, don't place them in a position where they can easily be overturned.
electrician inspect the wiring.
Smoking and matches and misuse of electricity are the two fire hazards which account for nearly one-third of all fires. Every day some 800 American homes are struck by fire. And every day 30 Americans die as the result of fire—nearly always a fire in the home. Will you be one of fire's victims?
3. Using lighted matches to search in dark closets. A flashlight would have been much easier, certainly much safer.
Just ask yourself how you would dress the typical American woman of today. Would you put her in a sweater and skirt, blue jeans and a shirt, a date dress?

Sexy Indian Computing 'Machine' Stumps the Mathematical World
San Francisco—(U.P.) a Univac computing machine with sex appeal might be one way of describing an unusual young lady, Miss Shakuntala Devi, who has arrived here from her native India.
A dark-haired, attractive girl of 21, she has been touring Europe and has been artistic prodigy and more recently appointed TV in Hollywood and New York.
Shakuntala's mental gift is to give instantly the answers to problems which only electronic computers could solve without months of labor. She does not work problems out, she does but gets the answers "in a flash."
When she was five, her uncle, a
college student in Bangalore, India was suddenly startled to hear her rattle off the answers to a cube root problem which had baffled him for hours.
Miss Devi's personality was revealed in her answer to the knotty question, "Whom would you rather meet here—Albert Einstein or Gregory Peck?"
I reck.
In a flash, she replied, "Both!"
