SECTION TWO—
Fire Deaths High
Among Very Young
Some 1,300 Children Un
der Five Victims
Last Year
Some thirteen hundred children, un
der 5 year* of age, died last year as
a result of fire, This i* a tragic fact
Very young children present a spe
cial problem when it conies to fire
protection, the National Board of Fire
Underwriters points out A child en
ters the world surrounded by poten
tially dangerous 'conditions of which
he is completely unstware. After a
period of helplessness, in which he
must be entirely dependent upon his
elders, he begins to move about and
create situations of his own making.
From this point on, he must be taught
'—by discipline or through experience
—what is safe and what is not
At this early age, however, the
things which he has already learned
are dangerous won’t always help him
to recognize danger when he comes up
against a new and unrelated experi
ence. Therefore, he must be super
vised; warned of imminent danger be- .
fore he gets hurt. This is one reason,
why the National Board continually i
cautions parents never to leave chil-|
dren alone in the house, and to be
sure their baby sitters know enough
about fire safety so that they can take '
over while the parents are away. ‘
Certainly at this stage of his de
velopment a young child cannftt be ac
cused of carelessness—which is said to
cause 90 per cent of all the fires that
occur. Nevertheless, the fires caused
by these youngsters can be branded
the result of carelessness —adult care
" lessness, in failing to provide the in
struction and supervision the children
need.
Here are a few common-sense rules 1
to remember, which may save your
home, your children’s lives and your
own:
1. Never leave matches within reach
of young hands.
2. Turn pot handles so they do not
project beyond the stove.
3. Don’t dress children in flimsy,
fast-burning materials unless those
materials have been flameproofed. '
4. Never allow children to play j
- near a bonfire.
5. Never use candles at children’s j
parties.

Taking Advice
Hoping to inspire his workers with
promptness and energy, a Canadian
business man hung a number of signs
reading “DO IT NOW” around his
factory and office.
When he was asked some weeks
later how his staff had reacted, he
shook his head sadly.
“I don’t even like to talk about it,”
he said. “The head bookkeeper elop
ed with the best secretary I ever had;
three typists asked for an increase;
the factory hands decided to go on
strike and the office boy joined the
Navy.”

a dusty road. His clothes were tom
out and patched in a hundred places,
his toes stuck out of his shoes and
his hat had holes in it like a shrimp

with a blissful smile on his face.
A white man saw him pass and call

I you hear anyone make that statement
speak right up and say, “It Isn’t
True.”
Os course, it’s true that tubercu
losis is an infectious disease. But
the person who has had TB, who has
been releaced from the hospital with
his disease arrested, is probably one
of the safest people to have around.
With medical treatment his disease
has become inactive. Only an active
case of tuberculosis is infectious. He
has learned to take care of himself
so that he won’t break down again.
He goes to the doctor regularly for
a checkup and X-rays to make sure
that he is keeping well.
The greatest danger is not in the
known case of tuberculosis and cer
tainly not in the person whose TB
has been cured. It’s the unknown
case that may menace your health.
Os the estimated 400,000 cases of TB
in the United States, more than half
are unknown to health authorities.

young business executive in a large
city. He is earning an excellent in
come. He hasn't had a vacation in
two years. Although he is doing ex
cellent work he is under constant
pressure to keep extending himself.
He frequently has to work Sundays
and when he doesn’t he is too ex
hausted to leave his apartment. He
hasn’t been inside a church since he
was married five years ago. To him,
contentment is merely a word in the
dictionary. He hasn’t learned that
true riches are not found in the poc
ket. A million dollars cannot buy
contentment. Yet anyone may have
it by being humbly thankful for what
they have today and every day.
