sentiment is at least on a par
with practicality. There were
just as many people who said
they would save heirlooms,
gifts, or things they had made
with their own hands as those
who mentioned the deed to the
old homestead.
One friend said she would
save her collection of recipes.

Most of us just can't imagine
that a fire may occur at our
own home.
Fires happen all the time,
we know. But we seldom
think that screaming sirens
and brilliant red fire trucks
will ever come our way. with
all the accompanying excite
ment, danger and possibility
of loss.
This thought hadn't oc-
CURED to me either until the
day ! went to q closet to get
a box Of old family snap
shots. The door knob of that
closet has proved to be Stub
born and independent at
times. This day it was COM
pletely defiant.
No matter how it was turned
and twisted, it wouldn't open
the door. Inside, besides photos,
were personal papers, f1nan-
cial records, a scrapbook I've
been keeping for several years,
insurance policies and my huS-
bands camera.
This experience has set me
to thinking. Suppose there'd
be a sudden and destructive
fire at my house? just be-
cause of a balky latch, we
would lose all those things
having personal or sentimental
value. Which set me to think.
ing still further, and finally
to write this article.
Possessions. we all know,
mean very little in the long
run. They're nice to have
around. make life easier, more
pleasant or more individual.
We don't want possessions
to worry us or possess" us,
but often they can almost
seem to be a matter of life
or death, and actually may
be most important to our fu-
ture or to the future of our
family.
In case of emergency, such
as fire, what would you, your
self, save?
Naturally. your family and
pets would have to come first.
If you have a dog or canary,
you'd never forgive yourself
if you chose to save some in
animate thing first, no matter
how valuable.
But what would you save
besides? What are the i'm
portant valuables that most
families must consider?
Not being a very practical
person myself, I thought first
I'd want to rescue the box of
family snapshots, some cloth
ing and Silverware. My hus-
band. who hadn't even thought
about the matter before, said
I was all wrong.

Whot Would You Try to Sove in Case Of Fire?

fire occurred in wintertime.
A neighbor said she would
want to save her portable
sewing machine. "I've made
SO many things with it-many
Of the children's clothes, slip
covers. drapes and everything
imaginable. It might sound
silly to say, but I know it,
and it knows me-"
MY, mother said she would
try to save an antique night
stand that belonged to her
: grandmother, plus some old
silver and jewelry.
Not all of the male con-
tingent were any more practi-
cal. One said he would try to
rescue his pipe collection first.
An ardent stamp collector
said he would rush for his
collection of stamps. Another
said he would want to try to
save some books and maps he
had got together.
Most men, however, said
they would think first of finan-
cial. personal and household
records, including life and fire
insurance policies, mortgages,
records Of debts they owed and
loans they had made, if any;
marriage license. birth certifi-
Gates, bank books, check stubs,
the family Bible.
Things of sentimental value
seemed to come last with most
men as objects for rescue. But
most of them we talked to did
tack such things on the list
at the end, however.
Whatever our little survey
proved, it did show almost
every one has a different idea
about the relative Importance
of possessions. What is i'm
portant to you is less important
to another person.
Another thing. too; it showed
that many people had to do a
lot of thinking about what
they would want to save.
In case Of fire, there might
not be much time for think

Practical or sentimental, what

Another put sheet music and
records at the top of her list.
She plays the piano and these
things are important to her.
A third said she would save
a needlepoint rug she had
made herself.
Most women mentioned
items of clothing as among
the things they would want to
save. One said she would
want to salvage her fur coat,
