GENERAL JOHNSON QUITS

To those who have observed the trend of NRA
affairs, the recent resignation Of General Hugh S.
johnson as administrator was not surprising. For
many months dissension among officials Of the Or
gannZation, and between it and other government
departments has been increasing and for some time
has been evident that the breaking point would soon
be reached. ~~>
There is no denying that General Johnson has
worked hard to make the NRA success, although
his arrogance and arbitrary methods have at times
antagonlZed many whose full cooperation was essen
tlal to the achievement Of its objectives
In the minds of many, Johnson's withdrawal
means that the NRA, as the country has known mt
since it's inception, is in state of collanse. For

FIRE PREVENTION

During each year the public is called upon to OBJ
serve SO many special weeks in furtherance of this
that movement that rule comparatively little at
tention is paid to any OF them few Of them, how
ever worthy of more than passing notice Among
these is Fire Prevention Week, to be observed this
year between October and IS.
Fire losses in the United States have reached
staggering fngures with respect to both life and pro-
perty. About $4,000 Americans are burned to death
each year, while the property loss is approximately
500 million dollars on an average A slight improve
ment has been mace in recent years, but the toll rs
still many times what it would be if reasonable pre-
cautions were taken to prevent fires.
Even those who do not suffer from fire directly
really called upon to bear portion of the losses
through higher insurance rates, higher taxes and
lost business.
Every citizen should cooperate in the spread of
information regarding fire prevent and CONTROL as
well as adopt every possible means for preventing
fire on his premises He should do this not only
during Fire Prevention Week. but every week.
