Plan Is Needed To Escape Fire
The great majority of the
12,200 lives taken by fires
in rural and city homes last
year were needlessly lost be
cause families toiled to plan
and rehearse escape measures,

Protection Association.
Melvin E. Howell, Farmers

supervisor in' Hertford, urges
all families to prepare a
home life safety plan and re
hearse the plan to make cer

children, knows exactly
what to do.

SEN. HAKGROVE BOWLES
want to do, but it will work
and I’m determined to see it
through.
“It begins with our child
ren—their right to a better
chance for a better life right
here at home—and its bene
fits will reach every citizen
of our state.
“1 want to put. this plan in
action as your governor.”
Howell says, “get everybody
out at the very first sign of
fire. But unless you have
some thinking and planning,
you may not be able to get
out safely.”
Here are some pointers to
help you:
1. Plan for at least two
routes to the outside from
every room in the house,
especially bedrooms. Allow
for blocking of stairways and
halls by fire.
2. Keeping doors closed
will allow extra escape time
because closed doors will hold
back flame and smoke.
3. For upper floor escape,
a window may be your only
alternate route. Use any
available roof—porch, shed or
garage as ways down to
safety. If necessary, install a
ladder. Located childen in
bedrooms with easy rooftop
access.
4. Pick an outside as
sembly point where the fam
ily will meet for “roll call”
and be sure everyone under
stands that the house must
not be re-entered for any
purpose.
5. Establish ways to call
the fire department from an
outside or a neighbor’s phone
and 'do this as quickly as the
house Is dear of people.

THE CHOWAN HERALD
well as other experimenters
going to different countries.
The climax came on the hot
test day of the week when
our group took the half of a
mile luggage hike carrying
everything you planned to
take with you. The mailman
probably made a fortune that
day as some girls even mail
ed whole suitcases home.
The big day finally came
and our motto, “expect the
unexpected’’ went into effect
from the word go. The plane
was held for one girl who
lost her passport (which
turned up in a phone booth)
and a boy who still had too
much luggage (70 pounds).
One way or the other, we
finally took off and landed
in Amsterdam seven and
one-half hours later.
Homestay
For one month I spent my
homestay with the Poeckes
family in Rumelange, a vil
lage bordering France in the
southern part of the Grand
Duchee.
■Since Mr. Poeckes’ job was
involved with a construction
firm, most of my time was
spent with Mrs. Poeckes,
Gaby, their 16 year old
daughter, or the two dogs,
Snoopy and Hokey.
As a member of the fam
ily, I assumed the job of
buying all the groceries
which turned out to be a
much bigger job than I had
anticipated. The usual rounds
of going to the butcher's,
baker’s, grocer’s and pastry
shops gave me a chance to
learn how to use the money
as well as to attempt to
speak French or Luxem
bourgeois, the common dia
lect of mixed German and
French. They also seemed to
survive the few American
dishes I prepared for them.
Since Gaby was also on her
vacation, we spent about two
weeks in Reisdonf, a village
bordering Germany, at their
holiday home in the moun
tains. Because Germany was
a five minute walk away, we
visited the ceinetery for un
known American soldiers in
Wallendorf, and also fished.
While in Reisdorf, daily
trips were planned to give
me the opportunity to see
more of Luxembourg. Gaby
and I visited the ruins of
Vianden and Victor Hugo’s
home, the castle and mones
tery of Clerveaux, the Gen
eral George Patten Memorial
and Luxembourg City, capital
of the country. There I went
through the casemates, un
derground military fortifica
tions used during the war
that have been turned into
private wine and beer cellars.
Attending the gymnastics
show and carnival proved to
be a different type of cele
bration than in America. One
night the whole family at
tended an open air festival in
the Ardennes Mountains in
Wiltjz for a concert on Bach’s
music. It was given by
Pierre Cochereau of Notre
Dame de Paris.
One Sunday the Poeckes
family competed in skeet
during the national shooting
competition. It was an all
day event and most import
ant to each village who was
represented by a certain
family. The Poeckes family
won second place and I was
given the honor of awarding
the prizes.
Another time we went
swimming in Esch-sur-Alzette
after attending an English
class at Gaby’s school and
going to the festival in honor
of the Grand Duke Jean and
the Queen of Holland. I was
shocked to see that the boys
wore swimming .trunks that
looked like the bottoms to
girls’ bikinis. Gaby also told
me that one only “sunned**
at a public pool area to avoid
Page 5-B
being arrested for indecent
exposure.
It was a privilege meeting
Foni Tissen, the famous Lux
embourg artist, who spoke
excellent English and gave
me a set of paintings of the
original stamps of the coun
try.
I ended my homestay by
attending a dinner at the In
vitation of the Grand Duke
Jean at his hunting lodge.
The 12-course meal was pre
pared by his personal cook
