A LUCKY NATION

A striking fact of the tumultuous war years through which
we have just lived, a fact which no one can ~truthfully deny
is that the people of the United States wanted for nothing
They kept more than twenty million autos running. Their
homes remained brightly lighted and well heated. Their diet
in spite Of gripping, was nothing less than abundant. They
had plenty of clothes and plenty of luxuries. The families of
men in the service were, by and large, the only ones who had
the vaguest notion of the horrible sacrifice and destruction
being endured elsewhere. This is not a criticism of the home
front. 1t is merely stating facts. 1t was because of continu-
ing high living standards that we were able to turn in a war
production miracle.
1t is worth refectng upon the reasons for the main
tenance of such living standards. Of course, there was ration
ing and price control to insure stability. There were also
hundreds of thousands of miles of paved highways, railways,
countless fleets of trucks, trains, planes, ships; there were
countless business organizations, manufacturing plants, and
millions of individual producers topped by a mass distributing
system of hundreds of thousands of retailers. All of this vast
activity functioned with cock-lke precision. Temporary
stresses and strains were absorbed without hitch.
Now that the war is over, we can begin to appreciate this
intricate machine. What it did in war it can do on an even
greater scale in peace, providing we don't underestimate its
ability and turn to paternaistc government in a futile search
for perfection.
Laurel outlook., 1945-10-31
THAT FIRE HAZARD

Fire Prevention Week is over, but the awful drama of fire
destruction and how it can be avoided, which was paraded be-
fore the eyes of the public within the space of seven days
should not be forgotten.
1t is hard to conceive of a home being destroyed by fire
every four minutes. And yet that was one of the brutal facts
that received banner publicity during Fire Prevention Week
every four minutes, somewhere in the United States a fam
lily loses its most precious possessions. 1t is lucky if some of
its members, too, are not lost. Thousands of persons are
burned to death every year. Why can't these fires be pre-
vented? What causes them?
They could be prevented. The reasons for most of them
are tragically simple. Smoking and matches are the first
cause of fire. Faulty electric wiring runs a close second
Sparks on combustible roofs rank third. After that come de-
fecive chimneys, defective heating equipment, rubbish and
spontaneous combustion; lightning and inflamable liquids
are also among the prominent causes of fire.
