We are a Land Of Fires,

October 7 to 13 was Fire Pre-

record of 1850, 900 losses in
1923.
This campaign for safeguarding
America against fire losses i1clud
ed organized work by all, from
school children to President.
When ole thinks of all the ways
fires can start, from electric wiring
to cigarette stubs, it is remarkable
that there are not more.
Strange that our country has
never got over being a regular
Terra del Fuego, or land of fires,
as our total destruction, if we
count forest and oil we'll fires, ex-
ceeds losses of all South America.
