Better Health e. Safety

iue drtlcle below was written
by q. member of the BPW and
serves as an editorial on a subject
Importance to all-Fire and its
prevention. The observations made
and the conclusions reached are
particularly timely, due to the
several fires which have occurred
recently.
One of the eleven standing COM
mittees of international, National,
State, an dlocal Business & Pro
feSsional Women's Club basic or
ganization is that of Health and
Safety. Man y people may wonder
why an organization that has as its
primary purpose thegoal of better
ing conditions of business women
throughout the world, would con-
slider Health and Safety" prob
lens as one of such great impor-
lance. The organization, by its
many accomplishments in this field
proves it does consider this facet
0 ftheir work one of its greatest
programs. One of the main reasons
could well be that the great ma
jOrity of Business Women" are
also "Homemakers.
When one starts on such broad
subject as Health and Safety as
it affects Kodiak" there is an I'M
limited field. This article will deal
with only one phase of one-half
the subject: Fire and its proven
ton.
Kodiak, as small community,
is blessed by one of the most eff
ficient and self-Sacrificing volun-
teer fire departments that any
small town could have. The ada
cent Naval Station Fire Depart
ment has established a remarkable
record in their control of fires;
and the complete cooperation be-
tween the two departments in time
of distress has proved a great boon
to those who have been so unfor-
tunate as to suffer from this dis
aster," for disaster is the only
word to use for fire, whether it be
forest, factory, prairie, or home.
We will deal with home fires and
try to give few statistics and a
few helpful hints on how to pre-
vent fires in the home.
One-third of all fires are in
dwellings. About one-fourth of all
building dollar fire losses are in
dwellings. In fact about $500 per-
sons (more than. 41% of them
children) are killed each year in
fires which destroy our homes.
Smoking an dmatches are the
cause of 10000 fires in each year
with the resultant cost of 81 mil
lion dollars; poor electrical equip
ment and wiring cause $500 with
921s million dollar loss; defective
heating equipment is to blame for
10000 fires that cost 1924 million;
$4,000 fires with so million dollar
loss is the result of careless hand
ling and use of flammable liquids;
defective chimneys and flues ac-
count for $4,000 fires and over 20
million dollars; children and mat
ches were the cause of 22,500 fires
and 8A million dollar loss; sparks
on roofs were least with 1920

We are very glad to have Mrs.

It's a wonderful thing to see so

Hair styles like any other styles
have made vast changes In the

lations professor, University of

So rare was this type of pro-
