arm Homes
Burn AT Rate OF
1000 Each Day

Burning our homes at the rate
of $4,000 year sounds appalling
in this era of material shortages yet
that is what the country is doing.
According to the National Fire
Protection Association, that num-
er of dwellings were damaged or
destroyed by fire last year. Total
property loss reached $450,000.00,
enough money to house city of
100000 people in $4,000 new homes
costing an average of $4,000 each,
gone up in smoke.
But that is far from the worst
part Of it. More than 10000 persons
lost their lives in fires and another
1900 were burned and manned for
life. Nearly all home fires are caus-
ed by carelessness, but 1000 peo-
pie persisted in nome fires alone
The principal breeder of fires, all
of which can be avoided, are negli-
gence in handling lighted matches
careless smoking habits, using ke-
rosene or gasoline to hurry up fires
letting small children have access
to matches, sparks falling on wood
en- floors and roofs, defective Chin
neys and heating equipment, accu-
mutation of rubbish around build
ings and in closets or in corners
and lack of lightning rod protec-
ton. Worn cords and defective
electric appliances should be re-
paired or replaced.
President Truman by proclama-
ton has designated the week of Oc-
tober through October 13 as Fire
Prevention Week. Compelling rea-
sons for calling special attention to
the terrific destruction of human
life and property caused by fires
are to be found in the fact that
more than 80 percent of all fires
is due to carelessneSs and that eau
ton and consideration on the part
of everybody would reduce this
havoc to a minimum. All hazard

of this most terrifying vast energy.
We have used it sparingly and by
this use the war has been ended.
We realize, however, that threat
to all of us remains. At the same
time we know that the construc-
tive uses of atomic power can
match its destructive uses; that,
properly harn ed, it can bring in
conceivable Eft to all mankind
and can, in d, remove many OF
the age-old causes of war. There

control, we invite international CO.

large number of veterans are not
familiar with their rights to re-
employment and what they are en-
titled to in the way of preference
for new jobs. Full information is

Guiding his insurance, CT loans, ed

I'VE can say definitely that lep-
rosy is mildly contagious disease,
rarely contracted, if a person takes
good care of himself, eats proper
food, and knows something about
the disease says DIR. E. r. Kellers-
berger, M. D., general secretary of
the American Mission to Lepers,
and former medical missionary to
Africa. 1T is important to know
that leproSy is not inherited, but
those exposed to other members of
the family under unfavorable con-
ditions, especially little children,
are the ones who get it most often.
In fact, is is almost a children s
disease for rs per cent to 80 per
cent of all cases are picked up be-
tween the ages of five and fifteen
years" The Mission has long pro-
noted program of publicity to
rid the public of it's cruel attitude
toward leprosy, and one result has
been a lessening of indifference
toward the disease by members of
the medical profession, DIR. Kellers-
berger says.
