A Womans View

(By GAY PAULEY) NEW YORK UPI — J. K. Cagney, the man who 20 years ago started the Junior Fire; Marshals (JFM), told of a letter he received from a father after his grade school son' brought home a fire safety 1 checklist. The father wrote, “Do you know what I had to do last ’ night? I had to crawl through the attic to make sure there j were no fire hazards. I had to go out and buy a fire extingui- j sher for the kitchen.” Then he added, “You know, now I’m kind of glad I did. I slept better.” Cagney is assistant secretary of the Hartford Insurance Group, Hartford, Conn., which steers the JFM program aimed at teaching fire prevention and other safety to children in the third, fourth and fifth grades. On its 20th anniversary, the program counts some 50 million children who have participated through classroom projects. One of the features of the program is the home checklist, with the child and parents working to eliminate hazards around the house where fire is the greatest killer of children. It’s a wise checklist, whether there’s a JFM in the family or not. Some of the major points: Look through your basement, attic and garage for old newspapers, magazines and other fire kindling material. Have these fire hazards been removed? Is paint, varnish or oil kept in tightly closed metal containers and away from the furnace; are flammable liquids such as gasoline or paint thinners stored In safety-approved metal containers which carry the U. L. Underwriters’ Laboratory label? Has the furnace or heating system been cleaned and inspec-

ted by a professional repairman within the last year? Has your chimney been checked recently? If you have a coal furnace, are ashes kept in a covered, hole-free metal container and removed frequently? If outdoor burning of trash is permitted by law, is trash burned in a suitable incinerator? Have you reminded all adults in the family to unplug the iron cord when the iron is not in use, even for a short time? Check to see that oil mops are hung in a safe, well- ventilated place. Are oily rags either thrown out or kept in metal containers ? Ask dad to check cords on all lamps and electrical appliances to make sure they are not frayed or worn. Have all such cords repaired or replaced. Are electrical extension cords out in the open . . . not over hooks, under rags, through partitions or doorways where the insulation may get worn and cause a fire? Check to make sure that any portable heaters are kept away from curtains, drapes, furniture, walls and partitions. If there is a fireplace in the home, is it shielded by a metal screen when in use? Ask a grownup to go with you to the electric fuse box. Are the right size fuses in every socket 15 amperes is the maximum for most lighting circuits? Have you asked smokers to be sure that matches and cigarettes are out before leaving them. . . and never, never to smoke in bed? Have you planned how each member of the family would escape from any room in the house in case of fire ? Be sure you know how to turn in a fire alarm. At home? At School?

Wall Street Chatter

NEW YORK UPI —Newton D. Zinder of E. F. Hutton A Co. says technical signs remain positive in the current market despite price softness indicating the bearish market contingent is having a hard time getting followers, especially in view of the negative economic news. The analyst says “unless the market is weaker than the various technical statistics the current declining phase could be close to an end.”

The Alexander Hamilton Institute also believes the contraction of volume during the current selling period is noteworthy, saying it shows investors have enough confidence to hold onto stocks and wait for higher prices. Judging from

this, the company feels the supply of stock at the present levels probably will be exhausted on the near term and strong demand should push prices higher, providing there are no serious adverse developments in the economic picture.

Colby A Co. says it is now adopting a highly defensive policy toward the stock market and is expecting a possible setback to the 840-850 range in the Dow Jones industrial average, where stronger support should materialize. The company believes, however, that this action should not affect intermediate term programs and could provide short term traders with a good opportunity for taking profits.

Teenagers Dance At Cathedral WASHINGTON UPI—"God is not dead. He’s just not in the top forty." The home-made sign scrawled on a huge bed sheet decorated the grounds of the famed National Cathedral Sunday night as 3,000 mini-clad girls and long-haired boys twisted and bugalooed to the psychedelic sound. It was the capital’s first mass musical be-in — “Sound and Spirit ’67”—an ecumenical effort to bring the church to Washington’s mid-teens. There were 18—count them, 18—rock ’n’ roll bands. One 15-year-old girl, still panting from exertion, tried to define it all. “Hymns sung in church are songs. This rock and roll music is just another way of express-

ing.”

Evacuation of Americans Gets Underway in Israel

JERUSALEM, Israel UPI — The U.S. Embassy today said Americans are being evacuated due to the threat gf a full-scale Mideast war. At Washington, a State Department spokesman said no evacuation order had been issued from Washington. He said someone, apparently in Israel, might be “misconstruing something.” The department Monday night advised U.S. citizens against travel in the crisis area.

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON UPI—It saddens me to report that apathy is rampant among the nation's railroadwomen. More than 600 of them gathered here this week for their annual convention and a more listless group I never encountered.

This is an era, mind you, when job discrimination against women is forbidden by law; a time when ladies all over the country are pressing the equal Employment Opportunity Commission to open more doors for

them.

Yet I am told that of the 5,381 members of the National Association of Railway Business Women, not a single one has applied for a job as a locomotive engineer. Neither have they attempted to get work as firemen, brakemen or conductors. They are content to stay behind in the terminal or office building and let the men run the

trains.

It appears there will never be a Mildred or Mabel Jones to join the Noble Casey in folksong and railroad lore. The reason this saddens me is because women have been sending me nasty letters about an earlier column I wrote about the equal employment program. They accused me of treating their cause in a jocular maimer. Which, believe me, was the last thing I had in mind. I had hoped to make amends by writing sympathetically of a campaign among railroadwomen to get out of the station and into cab or caboose. But they Lfetnadowa,

‘1 have never even heard the subject come up,” said Mrs. Ruth Elliott, an association spokesman, when I asked if they were on the verge of a breakthrough. “Wouldn’t you like to run a train?” I asked. “Not I,” said Mrs. Elliott, who has a stationary job in Little Rock, Ark. “And I don’t know anyone in the association who would.” “Do you mean to tell me that when you were a little girl playing along the railroad tracks and a train came by with a rush of wind and a wonderful clatter of wheels and the whistle blew and the engineer waved at you, you didn’t dream that you would one day be behind the throttle yourself?” “I certainly didn’t,” Mrs. Elliott said. It is now apparent to me that all the laws and commissions in the world won’t bring women equal employment. They simply aren’t ambitious.

The evacuation began as Israeli Premier Levi Eshkol called an emergency meeting of the nation’s security panel to discuss what action tq take on Egypt’s decision to blockade the Gulf of Aqaba. His cabinet was meeting later and the parliament was discussing the war crisis. The press attache at the American Embassy said word to evacuate American citizens had been received by way of the U.S. radio on the Greek island of Rhodes. “That is good enough so far as we are concerned,” he said. As he spoke, tourists already were forming lines at shipping and airline agencies. Ship and plane carriers reported themselves already booked to capacity. Israelis themselves were taking the situation calmly. There has been a moderate run on grocery stores by families stockpiling goods, especially rice. But there has been no panic buying.

Israel has enough food to last for about six months and enough farm production to hold out indefinitely. But the fate of the wheat harvest seemed doubtful in case of war. Eshkol warned that Egyptian attempts to block the port of Elath in the Gulf of Aqaba will be considered an act of war.
