Preventing Fire Tragedies

With two disastrous hotel fires fresh in
the public mind, methods to prevent such
tragedy are being studied across the ma
tion New York City is leading the cam
paign by stiffening the regulations on it's
many hotels.
Four specific recommendations to pre-
vent repetition of such holocausts were
made by Alfred Fleming, Director of Con-
servation of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters:
l. Vertical open areas such as stairways
and elevator shafts must be protected at
the bottom by standard self-closing fire
doors and fire walls.
2. Older buildings must have sprinkler
protection in dangerous areas.
3. Employees of hotels and other large
buildings must be properly educated to
turn in fire alarms Immediately, before at
tempting to put out fire.
4. The use of certain materials on
chairs, tables and furnishings that are
highly inflammable and which, in some
cases, generate poisonous gases when
ablaze, should be outlawed.
In regard to the Chicago fire, Mr.. Elem
ing recalled that the fire in the La Sale
hotel wasn't reported until Fl minutes af-
ter it was discovered. This is a startling
example of negligence in providing proper
training of employees on how to act in such
an emergency. Reporting the fire imme-
diately when discovered would have saved
the lives of scores of guests as well as the
hotel switchboard operator who died a
heroine while notifying occupants. Indi-
vidual courage alone cannot make up for
lack of trained organization in emery
encies.

Let's Have More Power

The need gilmore electric power in this
section is obvious Of late, weakened cur
rent often causes machinery to stop and
at other slight provocations the power goes
off for some several hours. Such inter-
ruptions are both costly and inconvenient,
and we hope something can be done to
cut them down. This paper was one of
the many other business houses that was
delayed five hours in operation recently.
Local electricians do an excellent job, with
what they have to do with, but the power
facilities are far too inadequate to cope
with the7needs of service.
This town and section are growing fast,
large new industries are seriously consid-
ering locations here, local industries are
expanding; but if they are to be confronted
with such a bottleneck as insufficient pow
er expanssiont Win be limited We under
stand that there have been and are still
plans to- hhfIA more power to this area
and to lessen Interruptions, we hope that
these plans can and will be carried out.
If they are not this area will certainly be
held back because of lack of power.

Work is at a standstill on the

to the fact that shipments of steel

work has been slowed down con-

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
Hurry and polish the candlestick.

Congratulations on this teaching
Mother Goose. This is the relig-
ious loveliness of being Jewish,
not any flag waving, not an educa-
ton for separate nationalism or
racism.
I know there are Jewish paro-
chial schools in some American
cities: New York, Chicago-what
can be the product save ghettoized
boys and girls brought up to feel
that they are separate and special
people of a nation within a ma
tion-narrow people who can new
er feel for sure that they are a
part of the American life.
They are brought up separately
and all their days they will feel
separate-citizens of another kind
of life. They are being educated
toward the separateness which our
enemies would impose upon. Why
should we voluntarily put our
selves in the status in which Hit
ler tried to put us1 A nation with
in nations and to be treated as
separate.
A separate kindergarten is
enough and I hope DR.. Zalesky
will carry it no farther. We don't
want to raise up a lot of Jewish
strangers to American life.

PLAIN TALK
by ALFRED 5EGAL
Jewish Mother Goose

director of our Bureau of Jewish
Education which has just started
this daily kindergarten.
DR.. Zalesky was hoping that I
might at least look favorably up
on his kindergarten since, in
this column, 1 have been opposed
to Jewish parochial schools, if
that's what you want to call
them.
So one morning recently I went
there. There were IA kids in DR..
Zalesky's kindergarten that
morning. 1t wasn't the complete
class. Eight of them had colds
and were being kept home. You
know how it is with kids noses
in the autumn-time.
A very nice young teacher,
Miss Selma Binder, was in charge.
1 said: miss Binder, what I'm in
terested in is the Jewish content
of this Jewish kindergarten. Il
should explain that these kids,
by the choice of their parents,
were in this kindergarten instead
of in the public school kindergar-
ten on the next street.)
The little boys wore white and
blue skull caps (the Zionist
colors.) Their names were Fred
die, Larry and such like. The
girls were Barbara, Anita, Marcia.
What I mean to say is that there
weren't any Old Testament names
among them, like Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob, Rebecca, Rachel and Esth-
er.
Miss Binder had them recite
Jewish Mother Goose rhyme they
had just learned:
One, two, I am a Jew;
1 love my degel (flag) of white
and blue.
Three, four and what's more,
We have a Mazuzah on our
door.
At this I found myself quar-
reling with sweet, old Mother
Goose. Dear Mother Goose, I
unused, is this way of social ed
ucation for the infant mind? In
all your times before all the chill
dren of the world were the same
to you. But here it's zone, two
I am a Jew"
Let's think this out, dear Moth
er Goose. Isn't that the trouble
in the world: Too many people
singing separately II am a Catho-
lic," "I am a Protestant" am a
Jugoslav" or II am Bulgarian"
as if the human race were like a
vault in a bank with every mem
ber keeping his treasures in his
own small compartment.
Yes, Mother Goose. You should
have them sing rather:
One, two, / am you.
That's the idea of brotherhood:
l am you because l, as your
brother, am involved in your life
and you in mine. I am not sepa-
rate from you because am Jew
and I don't carry Jewish flag of
my own.
1 just don't like to see kids get
ting their prejudices so early. One
of the better things left in current
life is the sense of brotherhood
among infants. 1 have seen white
children play with black ones in
school. Oh, Mother Goose, you, in
your old age, should know. better
than to hand a little child flag
of special identity.
But otherwise you were all
right in the Jewish kindergarten,
Mother Goose. l liked the way
the children were being taught
the religious approach to the fact
of their being Jewish. That's the
main way toward being Jewish
