The No. 1 cutting menace in today’s kitchens is
the old-fashioned can opener, according to safety
observers. Housewives are advised to replace the
old type of can opener with the safer, rotary-type
that has no dangerous cutting edges and leaves
smooth edges that will not endanger the hand.
Knives, another hazard, should be washed
separately, not with the dishes. Store them in
a slotted rack or drawer. The correct knife should
be used for a specific job. A sharp knife is safer
than a dull one because it takes less pressure to
make it cut.
Flavorful cooked prunes mixed with quartered
orange slices make a tasty breakfast fruit. With
a jar of cooked prunes handy in the refrigerator,
you can get this ready for the table quickly.
It makes for better and safer
living Avlien you pick up, clean
up. put away in their proper
place ol)jects which you use
and find everyday around the
house. This includes children’s
toys which are left on the floor
or furniture; kitchen and eat
ing utensils not put away after
use; newspapers and trash not
properly disposed of; tools and
toys, like bikes and wagons,
left around outside the house;
objects left on the stairs. It
takes a lot less effort to have
some order to your home than
to live in a mess. Try it and
see. By avoiding confusion,
you are taking a sure way to
avoid accidents.

Leave High Speed To Rocket Ships
One of these days not far off, rocket ships carrying human
passengers are apt to take off for the moon and other heavenly
bodies in outer space. And at staggering speed.
What a fearful thought, as we look about us and see that we
have not yet learned to control the automobile. The time is ripe
that we learned to put some sense into our earthbound driving.
Mix together lower speeds, more concentration and alertness of
drivers, add a generous helping of courtesy, and you’ll go a long
way toward making every day of the year a safe driving day.
By eliminating carelessness, recklessness and bad manners on
the road, you’ll help yourself to a longer, safer and more pleasant
life.
Most accidents do not just happen. They are caused by speed,
driving on the wrong side of the road, recklessness and other
driving errors.
By reducing speeds, motorists could save countless lives. By
staying alert, pedestrians can help save their own. Walk and drive
carefully. Give a thought to your own safety and the safety of
others.

^ewspapis.
. The Gastonia edition of the publication will be mailed
^.employees of Firestone Textiles around February 15. This

“Brotherhood for peace and
freedom—that people shall live
as one family of man” is this
year’s theme for the national ob
servance of Brotherhood Week.
February 17-24 is scheduled for
the 24th consecutive emphasis
on human understanding and
tolerance, sponsored by the Na
tional Conference of Christians
and Jews.
In more than 3,000 communi
ties across America millions of
citizens will work to further the
brotherhood ideal. Radio, tele
vision, newspapers and other
mass media will promote the
cause. Schools, churches, civic
groups, clubs and other organi
zations will join in the observ
ance.
Locally, special programs have
been scheduled in keeping with
Brotherhood Week.
THIS YEAR Louis B. Seltzer,
editor of the Cleveland Press, is
national chairman of Brother
hood Week. Last year, Harvey S.
Firestone, Jr., Company Chair
man, served as national Brother
hood chairman. F. B. Galligan,
Superintendent of the Cotton Di
vision at the Gastonia plant, is
typical of individuals of the
Company who are active in
Brotherhood Week promotion.
Last year he was Gaston County
chairman of the observance.
The NCCJ, sponsor of Brother
hood Week, was founded in 1928.
A weekly observance was sug
gested in 1934 by Monsignor
Hugh McMenamin, a Catholic
priest of Denver, who proposed
that the NCCJ organize a special
program wherein the people of
all religious groups in the Unit
ed States would be free to con
sider together the need of the
implications of the brotherhood
ideal.
Now, for almost a quarter
century, the NCCJ has sponsor
ed the program. The President
of the United States is Honorary
Chairman.
BROTHERHOOD Week is
only a part of the work of the
NCCJ, which is a civic organiza
tion engaged in an educational
program for improving human
relations every day in the year.
It enlists Protestants, Catholics,
and Jews who—without compro
mise of conscience of their dis
tinctive and important religious
differences — work together to
build better relationships among
men of religions, races and na
tionalities.
Scholarships
—From page 1
scholarships will be awarded on
the basis of proportionate Fire
stone empolyment of applicants’
parents, assuring that children of
all employees will have equal
opportunity.
The plan is set up to fulfill the
Company’s intention to provide
scholarship aid to each recipient
through the normal four-year
period required to complete
studies for a regular college de
gree. All grants are awarded on
an annual basis and the yearly
renewal of each scholarship is
dependent upon the student’s
maintaining a satisfactory scho
lastic and personal record in
school.
Applicants are carefully proc
essed by an impartial group of
judges, so as to select the best
qualified students for the
awards. Scholarships are issued
on the basis of high school
grades, psychological test scores
and qualities of character and
leadership evidenced in the ap
plicant’s high school and com
munity life.
