DO YOUR PART!

Fire Prevention Week is to be OBJ
served from October 20 IL. And
here is a thought worth considering
in the meantime:
Friendly fire-fire under control
is one of mans greatest boons. 1t
keeps us warm, cooks our foods,
motivates our industries, and serves
us in countless other ways.
Unfriendly fire-fire out of control
lis one of mans greatest enemies.
1t destroys roperty-causing ir-
reparalbe economic loss. 1t menaces
life. 1t hampers prog res S. 1t
threatens community development,
and industrial activity and employ
ment.
A building for example, represents
something beside money. 1t repre-
sents energy, achievement, labor. If
it is a factory building, it erpresents
creative, productive wealth. When
fire destroys that building, insurance
will give back part of the money it
cost, but nothing can give back the
energy that was wasted. Nothing
can make up for the work lost, the
Jobs destroyed, the diminished pur-
chasing power the fire caused. The
indirect costs of fre-costs which
cannot be put into balance sheet
are the real measure of our national
fire waste. Those indirect costs are
many times the direct costs.
Somewhere, as you read this, a
home is being burned to the ground.
A factory building is a smoldering
ruin. A man is screaming in pain
from burn that will prove fatal.
All this is the result of someone's
oversight, someone's carelessness,
someone's stupidity. Are you will
ing to do your part to minimize such
happenings in the future?

PREVENT FIRES WEEK SET BY
PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt on Wednesday
proclaimed the week beginning Oct.
5 as Fire Prevention Week and urged
officials and civic leaders in every
state TO encourage the study of
ways and means" to eliminate fire
hazards. The text of the proclama-
ton follows:
Whereas disastrous and destruc-
tive fires annually take an enormous
toll of human life and properly and
disrupt the orderly course of bust
ness productivity: and
Whereas it is the duty of every
citizen to aid in the prevention of
such fires as far as possible: and
Whereas such fires can largely
be prevented by the exercise of
proper care and the use of appropri-
ate fire prevention measures: and
Whereas it is highly desirabl
that the attention of the people be
directed to the necessity for the pre-
vention of such fires;
Now, therefore, l, Franklin D..
Roosevelt. President of the United
States of America, do hereby pro-
claim and designate the week be-
ginning October 6, 1895, as Fire Pre-
vtntion Week, and l particularly
urge state and municipal officials
civic and commercial organizations,
school authorities, the clergy, and
the press to emphasize the danger of
and needless waste caused by fire and
TO encourage the study of ways and
means whereby fire hazards and the
disastrous consequences of fire may
be prevented as far as possible"

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION

Here are some suggestions from
DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, to those
who are susceptible to fall colds.
":Just admit from the start" Dr.
Riley said, that we have sharp
changes of temperature with variable
weather, in this climate and dress
accordingly. Don't bother about the
calendar. When the weather sud
denly turns cool, put on sweater or
an overcoat or light wrap. If you
are housekeeper get out your
blankets and begin using them.
avoid sudden chilling at any
time. If you are drenched in a
downpour of rain, change to dry
clothes and shoes as soon as possible.
There is something about a chill that
prevents the human mechanism from
functioning normally, that lowers
the powers of resistance and opens
the way for colds and other illnesses,
chronic CT acute.
Keep yourself fit in other ways
also Get some exercise in the open
air every day--something that makes
the blood Jingle. If you can't do
anything more strenuous, take a
brisk walk Hold your head up and
breathe deeply when you walk.
Don't be afraid of little fresh air.
If you can't get out of doors you can
breathe in the fresh air at an open
window two or three times a day.
Remember, too, 20 keep your living
quarters we'll ventilated-da and
night.
"Get plenty of sleep. Drink plenty
of water Eat simple nourishing
food and at regular times. Don't
overeat. Fruits, green vegetables,
milk and other dairy products con-
tain certain elements that help to
build up the power of resistance to
disease.
Consider the other fellow as we'll
as yourself if you happen to find
yourself coughing or sneezing. Colds
are spread by the discharges from the
nose and throat-this includes the
spray expelled in sneeZing, coughing
and even in talking. Don't broad
cast your own germs. Be as careful
to avoid the germs of the other
fellow. Have your own towel and
drinking cup.
Cover your nose and your mouth
when you cough or sneeze. Use
paper handkerchiefs or something
else that will not pass on the infec-
tion to others and that can be readily
disposed of or destroyed.
"The quickest way to get rid of a
cold is to 60 to bed at the start and
to stay there until your doctor tells
you ii is safe for You to get up.
Don't wait to send for your doctor
until you are sure you are running
temperature. You will be saving
time and strength by putting yourself
under his care, promptly.
more time is lost from work and
from school from what we call colds
than from any other single cause.
Just cold, if neglected. often
opens the way for something more
serious. Precautions that provide
the ounce of prevention are worth
taking"

AN EXPLORATION
by Brother Thomas f. Doyle

Keep bravely on where honor leads,
Nor let dissension nor foul deeds
Intrude within your council halls
Grid on your swords when duty
calls;
Hold high the banner of your
cause;
Treasure well your Christian laws:
Serve faithfully each knightly
cause.
Oppose all wrong, yet for the weak
Fail not a kindly word to speak.
Christ guide you as you strive.
Obey his will that you may thrive.
Lay all your wants before his
court.
Under his command go forth.
Weakness be within your hearts.
But hold steadfast your manly
parts.
Upon the field Of chivalry
Serve first the call Of charity.

fact of the matter was that 10 and
Mark were the only two young peo-
