Fire Prevention
Week October 7-13
State Fireman's Association
Urges Cooperation OF Every
one.

Fire Prevention Week is being OBJ
served throughout Maryland this
year the week of October 7-13, and
an official proclamation has been
issued by Governor O'Conor point
ing out the necessity for the elinina-
ton of preventable fires. The Mary
land State Firemen's Association
through its President, Phil Ryan.
and its Fire Prevention Inspection
Committee are arranging an extern
sive statewide Fire Prevention Week
program. With the cooperation of
the State Superintendent of Educa-
ton, the County Superintendent of
Education and the Principals of the
individual schools, arrangements
have been made for an inspection of
every public school in the State dur
ing Fire Prevention Week. In addi-
ton, as part of the weeks program,
the principals of all public schools
are inviting representative of the
local volunteer fire companies to
speak at school assemblies on fire
prevention.
The Chairman of the Maryland
State Firemen's Association Fire
Prevention-Inspection Committee
(Charles R. Stallings, Jr.) states
that-'During the War we were
urged to put forth every effort to
lessen the preventable loss by fire
of life and property and thus con-
serve our Country's manpower and
resources for the struggle for final
Victory. Final Victory has been
achieved but it is just as important
that we put forth the same effort
toward the preventing of Fires in
order that our Country will not be
needlessly hampered in it's recon-
version program and that our re-
turning Veterans will not be kept
from full employment because of
the preventable burning of factory,
store, farm or home" On behalf of
all of the firemen of Maryland he
urges the cooperation of every man,
woman and child in the State to
lessen the needless and tragic loss
of life and property by fire.

Resurrect Old Windows
For Canadian Chapel

Ten stained glass windows intend
ed to inspire prospectors of the Yu-
kon gold rush days Of '98 have been
installed in the sanctuary of an air
transport command chapel near
Whitehorse in the Canadian North
west. Within a few months after
the gold strike in the Dawson City
area, a mushroom city of about
10000 had sprung up on the shores
of Lake Bennett, halfway between
Skagway, Alaska, and Whitehorse,
Yukon territory, where prospectors
rested from the arduous climb
through Chillicoot pass before max
ing their way in hastily built boats
across Lake Bennett and down the
Lewes river to Whitehorse.
A member Of the Presbyterian
board of missions in Canada inter-
eSted enough citizens of this heter-
ogeneous community to build a log
church in a single day that still
stands on the lake shore. The
stained glass windows were ordered,
but before they arrived the boom
had collapsed and the mushroom city
on Lake Bennett had shrunk to a
dozen or more employees of the just
then completed White Pass and Yu-
kon railroad, one of the few narrow
gauge railroads still in use in North
America.
The windows wer stored in a log
warehouse in Whitehorse where they
had been accumulating dust for
o than 40 years until a Mr..
Hardy, a director of the Canadian
Bank of Commerce at Whitehorse,
learned that a chapel was being built
at the nearby air transport COM
mand base. His offer of their use
was accepted and they now deco
rate a sanctuary built onto a pre-
fabricated structure erected for a
chapel.

Find Vitamin A Relief
For Colds. Skin Disorders

Certain investigators feel that
colds, sinus trouble, sore throat,
and assesses in ears, mouth or
salivary glands may result from
insufficient vitamin A in the diet.
Although it has not been on
clusively demonstrated that vitamin
A can prevent colds, it has been
shown that it will shorten the dura-
ton of colds.
More prolonged deficiency Of vita
min A results in dry scaly skin with
plugs Of horny material about hair
follicles. Certain cases Of dry scaly
skin have been successfully treated
by using vitamin A. This vitamin is
also essential for proper formation
and maintenance Of tooth enamel
and for successful reproduction.
There are animal and vegetable
sources Of vitamin A. These are cod
liver and other fish liver oils, liver,
milk and dairy products, and yellow
and green leafy vegetables. The
vitamin A from animal sources is
somewhat better utilized than that
from vegetables, and both should
be included in the diet.

Pygmies Among Strange
Sights in Philippines

Pygmy natives adept with blow
guns, 20-foot pythons, pitcher plants
which hold nearly a quart of water,
and edible birds nests worth twice
their weight in silver are a few Of
many strange sights on Palawan,
southwesternmost big island of the
Philippines.
Among varied tribes Of Palawan
natives, whose total is estimated all
the way from 20, 900 to $4,000, are
the Bataks, pagan black pygmies re-
sembling natives of the distant An
daman Islands more than the re-
lated Negritoes common on Luzon.
Skilled with bow and arrow for
catching deer and big game, they
use blowguns and poisoned darts to
catch monkeys and birds.
Creeping stealthily up on their
quarry perched high in a tree, they
send their darts with a sudden puff.
Their victim may continue to perch
for minutes, apparently unframed,
then fall to the ground from the
effects of the poisoned barb.

Strange Fish

The paddlefish, is among the
s%trangest of all fishes. 1t resem-
bles a marine shark more than a
fresh water fish. In fact, when it vas
first classified over a hundred years
ago, it was incorrectly placed with
the sharks. However. when more
thoroughly studied it was found to
be a primitive bony fish and not a
shark. 1t is lead colored and has a
smooth skin from which the scales
have practically disappeared.
The paddlefish grows to well over
$50 pounds. 1t is rarely ever taken
on hook and line, but is usually
caught by seining. The flesh is ex-
cellent and is practically homeless,
as the skeleton is cartilaginous. In
some southern localities, this species
is the most highly priced food fish.
The eggs make excellent caviar and
in many parts of the South constitute
an important product Of the COM
merciai fisheries

Xapor Barriers

There are some basic precautions
that should be followed to prevent
the possibility Of moisture conden-
sation in the sidewalks or ceiling
spaces after your house is ~insulat-
ed. There are a large number Of
materials on the market that are
known as vapor barriers. One
common form consists of a heavy
building vapor that is impregnated
with an asphalt coating to prevent
any water vapor from travelling
through the paper. Another form
consists of a paper that is backed
OF n or both sides with a thin
layer of metal foil. This vapor bar
rier should go next to the plaster.
In other words, the vapor barrier
is used to prevent any water vapor
from getting out of the room into the
space between the walls. The vapor
is stopped after it passes through
the plaster, and can 60 no further.
