THE NOT-SO-HARMLESS MATCH Take a match from your pocket and examine it. It looks harmless. and it Is, when properly employed. But identical counterparts of that match you are holding in .your, hand have caused the destruction of. billions of dollars worth of property, and tens of “thousands of human lives. They have deprived men of jobs and " .families of income. They have ' ruined Whole communities. So it is with all fire hazards — gasoline, heating plants, mechanical devices of QU.e Kind-or anoth- " er, and so on. Not one of them, handled with knowledge and respect,..is. dangerous. But all of them, mishandled, can bring disaster and death. It’s easy enough to say. “I’m careful—fires are started by the careless other fellow.** But there’s always a first time.

so richly deserve. Comparatively few of us periodically study the causes of fire and how they may be obviated. There’s no better time for doing that than right now. Your lire marshal or insurance agent will be glad to help. Remember that fire prevention always begins at home, in your house and your office. Remember that the really unpreventable fire is so rare as to be almost non-existent. Above all, remember that the human element Is responsible for most fires —and that means ydu.

First Grade. Several mothers wt .e our guests on Valentine Day. The secrets and messages in the Valentine Box were many and several postmen were very busy until all were distributed. Besides Valentines in the box, there were gifts of cookies for each child from Charles Reagen and Barbara Brown, candy chocolate hearts from Janis Weimer, candy sucker Valentines from Marilyn Russell and candy from Paul Disher. A good time was had by all. At this time please accept my thanks for all the lovely Valentine expressions sent to me. Monday morning finds us very disappointed in our attendance. Fifteen children were absent. We miss every one of you and will be so glad when you can all be back again. Jack Darr helped to brighten the day for us with a surprise birthday party when his mother came with cookies, popcorn and extra milk for all and “Guess Whats” for favors. Ater the lovely repast, a game was played and with many thanks to Mrs. Darr and best wishes to Jack, it was time to go home. February is certainly full d.f many interesting happenings.

AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE COMPANION TO THOUSANDS Hundreds of thousands of boys and young men read THE AMERICAN BOY Magazine every month and consider it more as a living companion than as a magazine. “It’s as much a buddy to me as my neighborhood chum,” writes one high school senior. “THE AMERICAN BOY seems to understand a boy’s problems and considers them in sueh a sympathetic and helpful way. It gives advice and entertaining reading on every subject in which a young fellow is interested. It is particularly helpful in sports. I made our basketball team because of playing tips I read in THE AMERICAN BOY.” Many famous athletes in all sports credit much of their success to helpful suggestions received from sports articles carried in THE AMERICAN BOY Magazine. Virtually every issue offers advice from a famous coach or player. Football, basketball, track, tennis, in fact every major sport is covered in fiction and fact articles.

Syracuse “Hi” Times

Third Grade. We are so glad that at last every one can be back in school agaiij. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we had a perfect attendance. Wednesday was quite an exciting day around here. That round, red and white Valentine box was practically full. It took us almost one hour to distribute the Valentines. Wednesday morning we started a flower that is made of hearts of all sizes. Some of them were teal good. They were all done free hand. We have learned the 2’s, 3’s, and s*s in our multiplication tables. Tomorrow we shall start the 4‘s. We have been studying in geography the different forms of water such as vapor, dew, ice, etc. We enjoyed the marionette play “Cinderella,” that was given Thursday morning, very much. Fourth Grade. Last Wednesday and Thursday, our room had perfect attendance. We thought maybe we were over having the mumps, but today we have several cases. Phillip Strieby. Stanley Reed, and Barbara Rex are mump victims. Fifth Grade. We found again that we have more story-writing talent in our room. This week our authoress is Charlotte LeCount, and her story. “How Betty Saved America”: Betty, a twelve-year-old Quak- ; eress, was left alone to keep house while her mother and father went to town to get some food. Betty’s mother, Ann, told her to sit down under the tree and finish her sampler, so Betty sat under the tree to finish her sampler. After a while, she heard the beat of horse hoofs down the road. It was the redcoats. Betty

Teachers, librarians, parents and leaders of boys’ clubs also recommend THE AMERICA N BOY enthusiastically. They have found that as a general rule, regular readers of THE AMERICAN BOY" advance more rapidly and develop more worthwhile characteristics than do boys who do not read it. Trained writers and artists, famous coaches and athletes, explorers, scientists and men successful in business and industry join with an experienced staff to produce in THE AMERICAN BOY, the sort of reading matter boys like best. THE AMERICAN BOY sells on newsstands at 20c a copy. Subipri ption prices are $ r 10 for one year or $3.50 for three years. Foreign rates 50c a year extra. To subscribe simply send your name, address and remittance direct to THE AMERICAN BOY, 7430 Second Blvd., Detroit, Michigan. > Steve Finton “Free ‘Wimpy’ at Dixie.”

SYRACUSE SCHOOL SECTION —

saddled her horse and started down the road. If only she could reach General Washington in time. After a couple minutes, she had thrown the Redcoats off the track. Just then she came to a fork of the road and she went over to the side and hid behind some bushes to let the Redcoats pass. She rode down into the valley. After she told Washington her story, she fainted for the first time in her life. General Washington tow one of his men to carry her down to Mrs Jones and have her take care of the child until they found out who she was and where she had lived. He told the rest of the men to saddle and get ready for a fight. After awhile they rode to the meeting house where a dozen or more Americans already lay dead upon the ground. Meanwhile, at Mrs. Jones, Betty was delerious and tossed about all afternoon. Mrs. Jones found out she was the daughter of Mr. Dale. They took her home as soon as they found out who she was. A few days later, when Betty recovered. General Washington was sitting beside the fire talking to her father. As soon as he saw that she had awakened, he went to her bedside and took her hand. He said she was a brave girl and her country was proud of her. Sixth Grade. The pupils of the sixth grade are using as an art project a bird note book. In it they will have the picture and a short composition about each bird. There will be about fifty birds, common to this region, which will be used. Jack Mason brought his electric scroll saw to school and the boys intend to cut out some of these birds from thin pieces of wood and color them. He also brought his radio to school. We shall enjoy It very much. Last week we enjoyed the puppet show, “Cinderella,” very much.

We are averaging about four absences a day now. Junior Ruby is out now with the mumps. Seventh Grade. In English we are studying the punctuation of the simple sentence. The girls have been practicing dodge ball and kick ball in gym. In arithmetic we are studying how to find the circumference and area of a circle. It seems we have so many formulas to remember that Robert Hughes can't get them straight. Or should we say. he can’t remember the right one at the right time, but. after writing the formula for finding the area of a circle, several hundred times, he finally learned it. The eighth grade girls beat the seventh grade girls in basketball Wednesday by a score of 7 to 0. Senior News. k The public speaking class will pay tribute to Washington s birthday to answering to roll call Thursday with something referring to the life of Washington. Attention! Beware of a certain senior girl. She is wearing a small gold knife on a chain around her neck. Stay on the good side of her or she might use it. We hardly think she would. We hope not. Anyone curious as to whom the owner might be, just ask Lois DiXlen. There is another senior girl who is wearing two class rings. We think this is hardly fair to the owner of the largest one’, but she has a good reason. If you would like to know the reason, ask Lois Kline. “I wish to thank the seniors for the beautiful Valentine box of candy which they gave me as a birthday gift.—Lillian Hamman.” Eighth Grade. The attendance is good but lots of us have colds this week.

The eighth grade girls defeated the seventh grade girls in vasketbail, but lost in a, game with the sophomores. [ — We are having our monthly tests this week. Next b’rdayt we close our English books until the dearly beloved state exams come along. Then is when“it will be opened. We will continue Vith our Hteraure. (Just as bad.) Mary Ellen Davis won first prize on a lovely embroideried tea towel and second prize lacetrimmed wash cloth and towell set in the exhibit Tuesday. She was the only one) that entered in it. Nice going, Mary.
