Let’s Prevent Fires

By Presidential proclamation, Fire Prevention Week will be observed October 8-14 this year. But as a practical matter, we should all look upon fire prevention as a year around job. In 1966, the nation’s fire losses hit an all-time peak of nearly $1.5 billion dollars, according to the American Insurance Association. In 1966, 12,100 persons died as a result of fires, and countless thousands more were injured. Indications are that when the 1967 totals are in. they will reflect an even bleaker picture. T. Lawrence Jones, president of the American Insurance Association, says the rise in fire losses is causing growing concern in business and insurance circles, and that on all sides the consensus is that more must lie done in the fire prevention field to reverse the upward trend. Fire l*revention Week is an appropriate time to think aliout preventive measures ... to reshape our thinking in terms

Free Press Means Much

Newspaper Week! October 8 to 11. Probably the most impressive way for the public to learn what newspapers mean in their daily lives would be to have no newspapers printed during Newspaper Week—but that is not practical. The hometown paper is the living record of what happens in the thousands of communities across the land—marriages, births, deaths, social activity, politics, school news, legal notices, advertised products to inform customers, world news, everything that enables the U. S. citizen to be familiar with the latest devices and products by which he enjoys the highest living and information standards in the world.

of taking greater care to avoid fires . . . to take inventory of our properties and eliminate potential fire hazards . . . and to resolve to practice fire prevention actively and regularly in the future. One place where every citizen can do his bit is in the home, checking electrical connections and appliances, heating and cooking equipment, or having them checked by a qualified service man. Fires in homes average more than 1.000 every day of the year, and cause a large portion of the total death toll. Fire Prevention Week can and should be a meaningful occasion, one on which we should all dedicate ourselves to be more careful where fire, or the threat of fire, is involved. We help ourselves, we safeguard dur homes and places of business, when we do. We have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Fires can be prevented, and we can do it! t

But over and above these material blessings, a free press, which is the background of free speech, is the average man’s guarantee of personal liberty, religious freedom and protection against political and judicial persecution. Dictators are afraid of a free press, hence they have a controlled press. The people read only what their rulers wish them to read. Try imagining if you can, what it would be like to live in a country where an editor dared not print a letter criticizing the political party in power, and where an editor feared to express an adverse opinion. Think of what a free press really means to you—life, freedom from political oppression, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under our Constitution.
