Fire in the Home

Maryland University's extern
sion service this week offered a
few hints for housewives to fol-
low in the event of fire in the
home:
For "class A" fires - that is,
burning paper, cloth, wood, or
household rubbish. Wet down to
remove heat. A five gallon pump
tank kept filled with water and
in convenient place is good for
quenching such fires. Also rec
commended is a soda acid ex-
tinguisher.
For "class B" fires - burning
oil, grease, paint or gasoline.
Foam extinguishers are excellent
for this type of fire. If grease
gets on fire during cooking, it
may be smothered by putting a
tight lid on the pan or by scatter.
ing on baking soda. Baking soda
absorbs grease and gives off car
bon dioxide to suffocate the fire.
AS safety precaution, keep a
package by the kitchen range.
For "class c" fires - electrical
equipment. These call for
smothering with some substance
that does not conduct electricity.
Carbon dioxide extinguishers and
dry chemical extlnguishers are
both excellent for this type of
fire

See Opposition To Amendment To
Abolish Public Schools Growing

VIRGINS, Miss, Dec. Z (Spec-
ial)-Rep. Joel Blass declared here
Tuesday that opposition is grow
ing "by leaps and bounds" to the
amendment that would give the
legislature power to abolish public
schools.
almost every day we hear of
grass-roots opposition mushroom
ing in sections where none of our
speakers have yet visited" the
Stone County attorney declared.
Blass commented on the Missis-
sippi Youth Congress vote here
last week in which all except three
of 1875 members voted to reject
amendment.
Evidently our youth see more
clearly than some of their elders
the dangers Of delegating life and
death power over public schools
to the legislature, "Blass said.
"This decisive vote gives the lie
to the claim of those favoring the
