Tells of Being Guest of Navy
on European Trip
Last Summer
LIONS ATTEND MEETING

Pride in the enlisted and Off
Ger personnel of the U. S. Navy
was expressed by William K. Pat
on, president of the Farmers Bank
of the State of Delaware, who
told also of the great respect and
admiration felt by Europeans for
the United States, speaking be-
fore the Smyrna Rotary Club
Thursday night. He said this re-
spect was induced by their feel
ing that Americans have integ-
rity, courage, and a high sense
of fair play. Members of the
Smyrna Lions Club were also pre-
sent. The speaker explained the
policy of the Navy to invite bus
iness men and other executives to
take trips when space is avail
able, with two purposes, that of
public relations and the chance to
visit foreign ports and to meet
on a street level businessmen of
other countries" Mr.. Patton, who
was guest of the Navy Depart
ment on a trip to northern Euro
pean ports last summer, gave his
impressions and observations of
the ports visited, which included
Lisbon, Amsterdam, Kiel, and
Copenhagen. The ship to which
he was assigned was the U.S.S.
Manley, DD-940, one of the new
destroyers of the Sherman For
rest class. He said that the Ger
mans were enthusiastic in their
regard for Americans, and marvel
ed at the United States ability
Z to build up and administer the
Navy in so short a time, and
"seem to regard us as the bull
wark against any Russians aims
or plans" The speaker was intro
duced by w. L. Wheatley. The
Lions were presented by James
Cooper, president. The response
was made by Reynolds Pratt. Mel
son S. Everhart led group sing
ing, with George v. Kirk as ac-
companist. Mr.. Cooper announced
that plans are under way for the
Rotary auction to be held Oct. 26.
A club assembly was held at the

LOCAL FIRE
PREVENTION
Observance of National Fire
Prevention Week Will Take
Place October g. IL
SAFETY EDUCATION

Next week Smyrna school child
rem in the elementary grades will
spark local observance of Nation
al Fire Prevention Week, Oct. g.
II, when they launch the fall
phase of the year-round Junior
Fire Marshal campaign. Celebrat-
ing its tenth anniversary in 1857,
this gigantic fire prevention and
safety education program is ex-
pected to enroll more than 3,0OO,-
900 boys and girls in 4S states,
Canada, Hawaii, and the Philip
pines. The program is sponsored
nationally as a public service by
the Hartford Fire Insurance Com
pany. Highlights of the anniver-
sary campaign were announced
today by the F. B. Gebhart Agen-
cy, sponsors of the local program
in cooperation with elementary
schools and the fire department.
Keynote of the 1957-58 program
is the traditional Junior Fire Mar
shall Home Inspection Report
which boys and girls will receive
at school. This report appears in
the new fall issue of the 12-page
Junior Fire Marshal magazine.
ITO qualify as a Junior Fire Mar
shal," Mr.. Gebhart said, "a boy or
girl must complete a fire hazard
check of his own home and return
the home report, signed by par
ent, to his teacher" Children
who complete home reports dur
ing the forthcoming campaign
will receive official Junior Fire
Marshal signet rings, being intro
duced this year, and red, plastic
firemen's helmets, he added. Call
ing attention to this years 10th
anniversary of the Junior Fire
Marshals' Mr.. Gebhart pointed to
the programs growth and wide
acceptance as IAN indication of
its value in teaching children how
to protect themselves against the
danger of fire." tits helping
adults, too, he said, noting that
the Junior Fire Marshal program
has resulted in between 10 and
20,000,000 home fire inspections
during the past decade. Teach
ers here and throughout the coun-
try will be supplied with study
units for fire prevention instruc-
ton, and honor rolls to keep a
record of children who complete
their home reports. In addition,
each school reporting satisfac-
tory record of home report COM
pletion will receive a lovely blue
and gold Achievement Award
banner. Another new item this
year is a series of calendar fire
prevention posters for schools. A
poster for each month of the
school year calls attention to sea-
sonal fire hazards.
