This fact makes all the more
vital the fighting of these
wrongs by each individual, in
every station Of life, in his
every deed.
Much of the answer lies in
the power of fact, fully publi-
cized; of persuasion, honestly
pressed, and of conscience,
justly aroused. These are the
methods familiar to our way
of life, tested and proven wise.
I propose to use whatever
authority exists in the Office
of the President to end segre-

cation in the armed forces"

ANN0UMC

Fire Prevention Week this year is being observed the week of October 4 through 10. Its purpose is to direct public attention to the tremendous loss of life and property that results each year from fire, and to emphasize the safety measures which can substan- tially reduce these losses. President Eisenhower, in his proclamation setting aside this one week of the year to this national effort, has pointed out that safety to life and pro-
 perty is the responsibility of
 each of us working together
 the year round in the com
 munity and in the nation.
 By assuming our share of
 this responsibility, each of us
 can help make American safe
 from fires.
