Advice to the younger folks
stay in school! For most young
men today, period of military
service is definitely a part of
the future. If you are one of the
thousands of young men who
are contemplating entering one
of our Armed Forces, remember
that a better education will great
ly improve your chances to ad-
vance as well as make you of
more service to your country.
So important is education in
the eyes of the Armed Forces
that all military people are
given every opportunity and en-
enlargement to continue their
schooling through off duty
study. However, the surer way
Is to stay in school now and
enter military service after
you've gone as far with your
academic education as you can.

Fire Prevention Week

This is not only Fire Proven
ton Week - 1t is the 88th ami.
versary of the Great Chicago
Fire and the 37th annual week
that marks the destruction of
that city by fire in 1871.
Fire Prevention Week is set
aside to emphasize the year
round need for greater atten-
ton to fire safety, and to
stress that nearly all fires are
preventable. Human careless
ness is to blame in almost every
case.
More than 100000 persons
have persisted in fires during
the last decade and many hun
dreds of thousands have been
injured in the same period.
Last year alone there were
more than two million fires in
