FIRE PREVENTION IS YOUR JOB

Fires levied on the lives and resources of the nation an
nually are nothing short of tragic. There are approximately
1900 fire deaths each year, and more than one billion and a
quarter dollars worth of property goes up in flames and
smoke.
A large amount of this waste could be avoided. If every
one would replace carelessness and neglect with care and
caution, we could virtually eliminate destructive fires.
Fire safety needs year round care and caution.
Never leave small children alone. Even if it is necessary
to leave the house for only a few minutes ask a neighbor to
stay with the children. And whenever you must leave for a
longer time, leave the children in the care OF a baby sitter who
not only has been told what to do in case of fire but who is
also physically and mentally capable of carrying out such
instructions.
We, of the Sidney area, are fortunate to have such a cap
able fire department, however, you can help these men If you
follow simple, good thinking yourself. While our volunteer
fire department has received national recognition they can
not do the impossible.
It is fitting and proper that we should pay tribute to our
splendid volunteer fire department they are surely a
wonderful group of men,
For every citizen Fire Prevention is NOT only for one
week but rather a year long observance. Remember, yours
may be the life that you save.

there can be no concrete moves toward a settlement until the pres
sures on management and labor are more severe than at present.
When steel stocks have been drained to the point of creating a
national emergency, one will be declared. Then, and only then, Will
Eisenhower take a personal try at settling the strike bypersuasion
and the moral force of his high office.
. ADJOURNMENT CROSSCURRENTS-As Congress comes down
the home stretch for this session there are some unusual crosscur-
rents which are having a strong effect against enactment of legisla-
ton that was considered virtually certain earlier in the session.
Most notable is the pressure for adjournment before the mid
september visit to this country of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
Southerners have taken full advantage of this attitude by maintains
ing their everpresent threat of a flibuster. This year, the threat is
sufficient to stall floor debates of any civil rights measure.
The feeling on Capitol Hill is that the southerners, in effect, have
the power to hold Congress in session if civil rights is brought to
the floor. And it is primarily the liberal, pro- civil rights group, who
are opposed to having Congress in session when Khrushchev arrives,
for they will then have to invite him to address that body.
There is increasing talk around Washington that President Eisen-
hover will call a special session of Congress in October or Novem-
Der to work on civil rights and several other must" bills that now
appear dead for the balance of the regular session.
A special session, if it materiaHzes, will have to be called after
Mr.. Eisenhower returns from his trip to Russia In fact Ike could
sugarcoat the pill a little. He could use the occasion to give the
