Don't Burn Down Clean Up, Says Raper
By-Charles ID. Raper

II your home should burn down
tonight, what would be the likely
cause? The National Fire Protec-
ton Association, sponsor of the
annual spring cleanup drive now
being observed, will answer that
question, and without visiting
your home, will bet nine to one
on being right.
Every farmer will brand the
careless smoker, or defective and
dirty heating plants or lightning
as principal causes of fire, but
how many will name rubbish?
Very few, according to the NFPA:
yet, rubbish is one of just eight
major causes of fire on farms.
A primary reason for the &C
emulation of rubbish is the ten
dcncy to keep articles that are no
longer useful or valuable, such
as old mattresses, worn clothing,
broken pieces of furniture and
toys, and magazines, newspapers,
and rags. Invariably these articles
are stored away in back bedrooms,
atticS, closets, easements. and
other out-of-the-way places where
they are perfect finder for any
spark, and sometimes cause spon-
taneous ignition. Seldom does fire
strike clean, orderly farm home.
Rubbish is not confined to the
farm home, or to other buildings.
Dead vines, bushes, and weeds
along fence rows should be cut
down and raked away; otherwise,
dead plant growth forms a perfect
path for field and swamp fires to
follow to farm buildings.
Sometimes in the very act of
cleaning up the farm, fires get
their start. The NFPA says it is
alright to burn rubbish, but gives
this warning DO so with
care" Fires burn briskly when
famed by high winds, and sparks
can be carried long distances to
set fire to roofs not protected with
flre-reSiStant materials such as
asphalt shingles.
Don't start fires near buildings,
or after a long dry spell. Use a
good stout incinerator if rubbish
is being burned.
If rubbish is disposed of as il
appears, cleanup days will be
unnecessary, says the NFPA. 1t is
better, safer, and easier to clean
up every day than it is TO clean
up once or twice year.

STRANGE LIZARD

The short tail branched out from

back legs and was about an inch

College Students Show
misunderstanding of Basic
Facts Concerning TB

A college in one of our states
with an excellent TB control pro
gram recently administered a
quiz to determine what their stu
dents believe about tuberculosis.
Forty-three students and one in
structor took the test, covering
the simple basic facts about TB.
There were only two perfect
papers. Many were still under the
impression that TB is not conta-
gious Git is highly contagious and
passed from person to person.;
that TBs is not caused by germs
(TB is caused by a germ, the
tubercle ebacillus).
Thirty out of forty-four believe
that sunny dry climate inSures
your chances Of getting well Git
has been proven that rest, not eli
mate, is the primary factor in
recovery. Others believe that
fresh air and exercise will insure
a recovery from TB (they are good
for your general health, but will
not prevent TB).
Some believe that ex-TB's are
sickly as long as they live (this is
false, for great number Of re-
habilitated ex-patients are leading
healthy normal lives. The stu
dents showed their lack Of under
standing Of TB when they agreed
that the best thing a person can
do is to forget that he has TB
and live the way he wants to, and
that frequent check-ups are not
necessary (TB does affect your
future life. All ex-patients must
be careful Of their health and
have frequent check-ups to insure
that they will not break down
aagin).
These students, who showed
such a complete misunderstanding
Of the basic facts about tubercul-
osis, represent the better educated
section Of our population, and are
also our future teachers! If every
teacher in our Alaska schools
would give such a simple quiz to
her pupils, she would find out
where to- direct her health educa-
ton efforts.
