WHAT TO DO WHEN
FIRE STRIKES

If you should awaken at nigh
with the acrid fumes of smoke bit
ing your nostrils and suddenly real
ize that your house was on fire
what would you edo? Unless you
know what to do, and do it quickly
you and your family may die with
in the next few minutes. To avoid
such tragedies, fire safety experts
are promoting the adoption of fire
drills in homes
The details of fire drills in in
dividual families will vary widely
with circumstances, but the follow
ing suggestions are helpful in the
general planning: Cd Insure the
safety of everyone in the building.
(2) Turn in fire alarm. (3) Fight
the fire, if suitable fire extinguish-
ing equipment is available.
The first suggestion means devils
ing and practicing safe methods of
escape from upper bedrooms when
halls and stairways are cut off by
flames and smoke. The first rehear-
sal drill. may reveal conditions that
require changes in domestic ar
rangements. Perhaps an invalid is
sleeping in the room that is less
accessible from the outside, or a
baby is in a room that could not
be reached if the main hall were
cut off. If a hazardous condition
cannot be corrected, the occupant
of the room should be taught to
Jump only as a last resort. AS a
rule, firemen will reach the scene
before this is necessary.
After safety of occupants has been
secured, the next step is to turn
in the alarm.
If an attempt is made to use ex-
equipment, always re-

NOW IT'S FUEL OIL

The country seems headed for a
fuel oil shortage. Again. as in but
ter and countless other commodi-
ties, the reason goes back to malad-
justments in prices. pOPA ceilings
encouraged gasoline production dur
ing the war, at the expense of heat
ing fuels. The Mayor of New York
has frankly stated that a price in
crease for fuel oil is necessary. A
spokesman for one of the largest
refiners and distributors in the East
says that, "An increase in fuel oil
prices would undoubtedly promote
a larger output

SYNTHETIC TIRE THAT WILL
OUTWEAR PREWAR TIRES

Libby Motors announce the re-
ceipt of a shipment of the new
Goodrich tires which they have
been looking forward to for some
time.
The B. F. Goodrich Company has
the following to say CT the new
tires:
A new kind of tire has been
developed and tests show that it
will outwear prewar passenger car
tires.
1T is made of new kind OF
synthetic rubber developed by B. F.
oodridh-different from the or
binary synthetic rubber in general
use by the tire industry"
The new tire has had more than
1000 seperate tests. Taxicab fleets
state police departments and the
B. F. Goodrich test fleet have run
it 100000 test miles. Not only
does it give longer tread wear than
prewar tires, but it has more re-
sistance to bruising or damage from
accident"
"A new, slightly different shaped
tread-We can IL the road Lever
tread-is another feature that means
longer wear. Engineers had wish
ed for years to make tread just
slightly flatter. But that more de-
sirable shape always set up strains
in the tire body, or Carcass" as it
is called: B. F. Goodrich develo-
ped an entirely new and stranger
cotton cord, designed It into a car
caSs that stands all strains and per-
mits use of the new flatter, longer
wearing tread"

WRITES FROM JAPAN

TIA Otto H. Taylor writes under
date of January 6 from Yamaguchi
Japan, expressing his pleasure OF
seeing his poem submitted to us
recently, in print. His letter fol
lows.
Sometime ago I wrote you a
letter and sent one of my poems
along with it. I found out to my
surprise, and I might add, pleasure,
that you had printed it. So, like
the often spoken of bad penny,
here l am again taking advantage
of you and your subscribers good
natures.
''The truth OF. the matter is though
that a fellow gets so tired of hear
ing the same jokes, the same rum
-oTsgthat occasionally the thoughts
of a CT turn to the things that
have been not many months ago,
very realistic.
LAS for myself, it has been sever
al years since l have thought much
about the things / was taught when
I was a boy I don't say this to
boast, but in regret.
1T occurred to me tonight as I
was lying on my bunk, with a crap
game in one corner and a black
Jack game in the other and the
Bugler practicing on his bugle, that
it might be the appropriate time
for me to try another meek attempt
at poetry. AS far as the card games
go, well, l am a good gambler but
run out of chips too soon.
IF you haven't. already guessed
it, then I will admit l am just a
bit homesick. One of the deepest
longings I have is to see once a.
gain those rugged and wooded
mountains of Old Montana A fell
low can be mighty wealthy even
though he has very little, if he has
in his heart that which nations of
the world have been fighting for,
peace"

Heart Disease Death
Increase Is Denied BY
Insurance Experts
By Thomos R. Henry

Heart disease, although it remains
the single largest cause of death In
the United States and appears from
crude figures to be on the increase,
actually has remained about sta
tionary in incidence for the past few
years.
This is the conclusion of statis-
ticians of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Co., the experience of whose
policyholders usually reflects fairly
well that of the American popula-
ton as a whole
A considerable increase Of heart
deaths could be expected, according
to bulletin Just issued by the COM
pany, with the increasing age Of
the, population Heart maladies
occur preponderantly in late middle
age. Now more persons are reach
ing this period in life and the num-
Der still Is increasing from year to
year.
But, according to the life insur-
ance statisticians, diagnoses on
death certificates have changed and
many deaths which used to be at
tributed to kidney maladies hemor-
rhage and dropsy now are attributed
directly to failure of the heart. It
is recognized that in these deaths
the heart is the organ which was
primarily affected. Thus much of
the reported increase can be dis
counted.
When all these influences are
taken into account" says the state
ment," it is doubtful whether there
has been any real increase whatever
in heart disease. beyond what is ex-
pected from the increase in the
number of older persons In our
population. Indeed, it is likely that
there has been an actual decrease in
the mortality from heart disease at
every age roughly parallel to the
decline in the death rate for aggre-
gate of heart-blood vessel-kidney
diseases.
There has been a definite reduc-
ton in heart disease mortality up
to the age of As. At ages from l
to "a this death rate among white
males has fallen about so per cent
as compared to 1911-1915. At ages
25 to A also, death rates have In
recent years been lower than at any
time since 1911. These declines at
ages under As are due chiefly to the
decline in mortality from rheumatic
heart diseases.
1 Altogether there is little cause
for alarm over the situation in heart
adisease today. The great bulk of
Ithese deaths occur in older people

rate has been 100000 monthly. By
July of this year every man who has a
right to expect rehabilitation will be
home.
Walter Lippmann, in his article in
yesterdays Star, said that since the
firing ceased 100000 men have been
brought back from overseas, and added
that another 100000 will be returned
by July.
The problem facing the Army is to
discover way to restore tie morale of
men who must remain with the occupa-
ton forces in Europe and Japan, a task
that will tax the ultimate capabilities
Of the military establishment, because
while this country must bear it's share
of occupation responsibilities, there is
no service more onerous or distasteful
to Americans who have learned from
childhood that wars must be won but
when they are over the soldiers may
return to their hearthsides and their
customary business.
These men who are protesting their
retention on foreign shores are suffer-
ing from a very common ailment -
inconsistencies. It will be some job to
convince them that they are as closely
bound to their present task as they
were to defeat the enemy in battle.
Perhaps General Eisenhower will
give them the right word to restore
their morale.

As To Audit0riums

There is always somewhere to look
for good example in any kind of under
taking. Right now Wilmington is con-
sidering an auditorium. So is Los
Angeles. Being up and coming, it is a
distressing reflection that Los Angeles
probably will beat Wilmington in get
ting one.
Having become the moving picture
center of the world and acquired port
by annexing narrow strip of land
from it's old boundaries to San Pedro,
twenty-odd miles away, it now intends
to become the outstanding convention
city of the nation. But to reach its goal
new auditorium is needed. 1t has
several but none is large enough to &C
comodate the throngs the city proposes
to attract.
The goal is to have hundred
thousands convention visitors in year.
Inasmuch as there are approximately
$4,000 conventions year, the figure
set is small indeed. But if Los Angeles
is visited by a hundred thousand dele
gates and each spends a minimum of
$50 during his visit, 100000 of out
side money will go into Los Angeles
tills that otherwise would be scattered
here and there. Los Angeles wants that
six millions, and probably would not be
averse to spending like amount on an
auditorium is one years gross
convention revenue-knowing that next
year and for many years to come the
same amount, or even more, would be
pouring in.
Of course Wilmington could not ex-
pect this much convention revenue, nor
could it invest this much in an auditori-
UNI, but there is no good reason why
the city should not become the conven-
tion city, not only of southeastern North
Carolina, but of the state, if it got busy
quickly enough on it's auditorium pro-
ject. Certainly no other city can offer
organizations choosing convention sites
equivalent attractions, especially the
beaches.
