Firemen) was established in an effort to reach the thousands of small communities that are pro- tected by volunteer fire depart ments. The success of that ven- ture is now thoroughly established and there are we'll over 10000 vol- unteer fremen affiliated with the Volunteer Fire Company Section of the Association.
 The steady growth of the NFPA over all these years put it in 8 po- sition to render conspicuous serv- ice to the country when World War II engulfed the world. The Second World War, unlike any previous war was marked by ex- tensive use of fire as devastating weapon. The Association felt that its knowledge of fire could be used in reverse and that NFPA exper- fence could be welded into a weap- on of offensive warfare. When President Roosevelt created the U. s. Strategic Bombing Survey in 1945, the NFPA chief engineer was asked to handle fire damage ana- lysis for the Physical Damage Di- vision. When the Under Secretary of War created a fve-man Advis- ory Board on Fire Protection, the NFPA general manager was the only civilian member. General Manager Bugbee was also chair man of the Industrial Protection Committee organized by the U. s. Office of Civilian Defense. The NFPA- also served as advisor in Navy and Coast Guard fire control programs. The Technical Secre- tary of the Association served as Fire Adviser to the War Produc- ton Board and throughout the war the staff of the Association served as informal conSultants to the Ma tiona1 Housing Agency and Federal Public Housing Authority.
 Thus the National Fire Protec- ton Association has concluded it's first 50 years of service to indus- try and the public in the constant war against fire. It looks confi- dently ahead to the future, envis- ioning a steady retreat of this com- mon foe.

production of complete popular and technical literature in the field of fire waste control. The Association now issues from five to ten million copies of its publications a year, ranging from weighty 10O0-page volumes to small factory payroll leaflets warning workers about fire.
 Since 1923 the NFPA has main- tained a field service for the pur- pose of making direct contact through its paid staff, with the states, provinces and cities through out the United States and Canada to stimulate good fire control prac- ticeS. The work of the NFPA field engineers has been recognized as a prime factor in influencing the development of techniques and practices in cities and states that have directly led to substantial re- ductions of loss of life and de- struction of property by fire. A major step in the history of the Association was the creation of the office of a full-time pad secretary in 1909. Franklin H. Wentworth was appointed and served as NFPA secretary for the next 30 years. It was at this time that the Association undertook the production of non-technical publi- cations and started its long and successful campaign of public edu- cation.
 In the fall of 1916 the first Fire Prevention Day was designated by President Woodrow Wilson as Oc- tober 3. Fire Prevention Day has changed to Fire Prevention Week, under the sponsorship of the NFPA and has become the chief annual campaign against fire in the United States and Canada. Fire Proven ton Week is always held during the calendar week including Oc- tober 9, the anniversary of the his- toric Chicago Fire of 1871. The Silver Anniversary Of the NFPA was held in San Francisco In June 1921.

The National Fire Protection As- sociation is the international clear ing house for all information that is authoritative on the subject of fire protection and fire prevention. It has been a faithful servant of the industrial world. Non-com- mercial and non-proitmaking, the Association is supported by the dues of its members which number over 150 national organizations and more than 10000 individuals.
 Throughout its 50 years of growth a prime function of the NFPA has been to provide standards for the entire field of fire waste control Nearly 150 technical standards on every subject under the sun from Protection Against Life and Prop erty Against Lightning to Code for the Prevention of Dust Explo- sions in the Plastics Industry" have been issued under the NFPA aegis. There are very few nation al organizations that can equal the wide variety and competence of the technical standards issued by NFPA committeeman recruited from industry, government, insur- ance and fire department groups.

If there is to be peace and free dom in the world" Congressman Charles M. La Toilette Rep., Ind) has declared, "our country must say to the white nations:
 Tt is time for you to release your hold on the yellow and brown and black peoples-to stop depressing their standards of living and re- tarding their development. That position is not only sound morally, but also from the standpoint of jobs, production and profits.
 "You cannot sell radios, bathtubs, automobiles and other products to yellow, brown and black people who receive such a small share of the wealth which they produce that they can barely maintain them selves.
 "These people occupy almost three -fourths of the surface of the earth and offer the greatest po- tential market of industrial goods in the world today-if we furnish the leadership which will strike off their colonial letters and re- lieve them from the economic in- justices to which they have been forced to submit for 400 years"
