Family Escape
Plan Urged in
Case of Fire
By Miss Patricia MiddIeton

4 By Miss Patricia Middleton
] Somebody shouted Fire." and
hundreds of people were tram
pied trying to escape from a
canvas tent with only a few
exits. 1t happened a long time
ago but the message is just as
clear now as it was then: Don't
Panicr'
Do you know what to do in
case of fire? Have you worked
out a detailed plan with your
family spelling out exactly
what to do"
One high school youngster, 1
know, had a plan. Written in
front of a math book which he
was forced to refer to occasion
ally was this message: "in case
Iof fire, throw this book in"
That brings up a very import
ant point. When a fire breaks
out don't stop to do anything,
just get everyone out of the
building. Don't stop to dress
the children or try to save val
uables.
You should sit down with the
whole family and plan escape
routes and emergency proceed
ures. If you have small chill
dren, it should be decided who
gets what child. Many children
have perished because each par
ent thought the other one had
the children.
Plan at least two escape
routes from every room. Re-
member halls and stairways will
probably be blocked by fire.
Plan to use the garage and
porch roofs, ladders, ropes and
even trees to escape from up
per floors. You should hold
regular fire drills until even the
small children know what to
do. When the procedure be-
comes familiar there will be
I less chance for panic.
Here are some precautions
the whole family should know.
Don't open hot doors, always
feel the door first to see if it
is warm. A closed door can
keep fire out for several min
utes. This gives you time to
find another way out, or for
help to arrive. Beware of re-
entering burning buildings. Even
the smallest, most harmless
looking fire can give off dead
ly smoke and free gases.
Never leave children alone in
your home. Almost daily, you
read of tragic deaths occurring
where children left alone, set
the house on fire. Instruct your
baby sitter of your escape plans.
Be sure she knows how to call
the fire department.
Many deaths that occur in
fires could have been avoided
except for one thing Panic"
When a fire starts, people tend
to panic and forget to open a
window or door to freedom.
Instead they crowd up in one
corner and burn to death.
Don't let this happen to your
family. Draw up a fire escape
plan and make sure every mem
ber of the family is thoroughly
familiar with it. Their lives
could depend on what they do
during the few seconds after
a fire is discovered.

Dykes, speaker at the Alexandria

managed for the last time when he was
fired by the Indians OF his dismissal by
General Gabe Paul he quipped:

Paul fired me at Cincinnati I kept my

up working for him again.
He fired me again, but that's beside
the point"
THAT WAS A POWDER KEG on which
the old Round Man was sitting at Cleve-

A bad Pittsburgh team? Not

big problems, a flat pocketbook
and a lawn that needs atten-
ton.
When the ryegrass that the
contractor planted dies this fall
the lawn is apt to start wash
ing away. Don't turn your back
on this or you'll wake up some
morning and find your topsoil
in the neighbor's yard. Then
you're faced with the problem
of buying it back.
If at all possible, start your
permanent lawn this fall. II
may cost some money that you
hadn't allowed for but it will
be a good investment. A good
mixture to seed is Kentucky
bluegrass, rs percent, and Penn
lawn creeping red fescue, 25
percent. Use 21A to 3 pounds
per 1000 square feet of lawn
area.
It's wise to sit down right
now and plan what you are 60
ing to do with your yard. The
first step is the lawn, then the
trees and last, shrubs and flow
ers. With plan in mind, you
can accomplish all this over a
period of years.
It might be we'll to plant your
trees this fall if this isn't
stretching the pocketbook too
much. 1t takes so long for
trees to mature that every year
counts. Some favorite shade
trees include: red and sugar
maple, locust, red oak, white
oak, sycamore, linden and ash.
You can afford to wait to plant
the shrubs. 1t might be wise
to wait rather than plant cheap
stock.
When deciding where to plant
trees and shrubs remember
these five uses: (l) screen off
unattractive views, (2) give
shade, (3) give background and
enclosure, (4) frame the house
or views, and (5) enhance the
building.
