According TO report from the National

losses in the United States during Febru-
airy of this year were $38 ,280,000, an

same month in 1943. These grim figures
which appear with clock-like regularity
month after month, hold a tale OF death

encountered the consuming fury OF I'M

were unprepared to defend themselves or
their property. Others lucky enough to
escape with their lives, look back with
trogic regret TO the things they could
have done to have saved those who died.
Look about your home and place OF
work. Spring is the time to clean up.
Attics, Easements and store rooms are the

After everything possible has been done

such questions satisfactorily, you Or your
family or both may be among the
hundreds who will lose their property and
possibly their lives next month by fire.

Ohios claim is that they are a state OF

most important operations were IN
the thirty or SO years preceding the
great depression, when enormous
building projects were under way,
he held to the end his faith IN
the essential soupdness OF New York
real estate. He took over large
estate. He took over large estates In
upper Manhattan, the Bronx,
Queens and Brooklyn and cut them
ito parcels which are now occupied
by family dwellings and apartment
houses. II WAS his activities which
IN large measure forced the many
subway extensions with their at
tendant blessings and problems. His
judgment and his accurate knoWl-
edge of trends were universally re-
sjected; he served as realty con-
sultant TO life insurance companies
and other corporations,
As became his business, Mr., Day

"Tonight--Im sitting very quiet,
not even praying, for my son is
gone. l feel let down by the big
man down the street, by Mr.. Hull,
and my Uncle Sam. Eventually
I'll turn TO my God, but then I'll
add TO my prayers that mothers
like you viii watch dangers to
your sons other than n cold or
measles. Maybe my letter will
depress you. hope not. for IN
my heart is nothing but good
Tor you and your darling son.

a park bench - thinking -

man next TO me looks like Mr..
Pearson. On the end sits Mr..
Hull, AZ that age, you nod
when you feel tired. Uncle Sam
Is there, too. lie also looks tired.
His shoulders are dropping from
u heavy load. We slit here, tired
people.
Then We are disturbed. You

His car does lot ofmiles on two
gallons per week, ! could go on
