THERE'S NO SECOND CHANCE IN A FIRE
It's frightening but true that
moat fina in the home start
batman midnight and 6 a.m.-
when moat members of the
family are asleep and least pre
pared to handle an emergency.
And the lung-scorching heat,
tha fumes, and the smoke can
travel ahead of the actual fire;
your home can be a deathtrap
before you ever see the flames.
Scary? Sure it is. But you can
turn the odds in your favor by
planning ahead. Your worst en
emies in a fire are panic and
confusion. If your family
including the children—can act
calmly and efficiently, you can
survive circumstances which
otherwise would be tragic.
A new booklet, "How to
Abandon a Burning House
Without Panicking" has just
been prepared by The Conti
nental Insurance Companies.
Available from local agents
who display the Continental
Soldier, the booklet describes
the family fire drill as the key
to survival. It gives you tips
like these:
Point 1. Select a family
alarm recognizable to all—it
can be a bell, a whistle or just

"Your children are peanuts,

Comments from the Capital Ji 1
ON THE NEED FOR REMAINING REASONABLE
by Vant Neff
The man I interviewed was
public relations director for the
'Free the Panthers" movement
in New Haven. In the course of
our reasoning I said,
"But someone was murdered.
Who should be tried?"
"The police", he answered.
"Why not Jesus Christ?", I in
quired of him.
"He could have prevented it!",
he replied.
My sarcasm was lost on him.
Instead came a long tirade that
the police throughout the coun
try had hampered the Black Pan
thers from registering their dis
approval. My conclusion is that
you can't rationalize with irra
tional people. The only thing to
do, in my humble opinion, when
someone steps out of line, is to
slap him down. Condoning il
legal actions creates criminals.

Funny, but the Woman's Lib
eration agitators want every
thing for women, yet the tactics
they utilize to gain their objec
tives could hardly be considered
feminine. Witness their brash
behavior toward the editor of a
national women's magazine. His
office was invaded. He was
locked in a closet. He was held
prisoner for several hours, until
he agreed to change the maga
sine's editorial policy to coincide
with their oddball ideas. I sug
gest, that as far as femininity
and women's rights are con
cerned, these wild, way-out gals
may have won the battle —but

Point 7. Don't endanger
yourselves in the drill. You
need not actually go out on a
roof so long as you know
enough to do so and have
learned how to open the win
dow and screen, for instance.
Point 8. Don't waste time.
It's precious. Everyone must
act promptly, correctly and
automatically. Looking around
for a pet, for instance, could
cost your life and the life of
someone who might then try
to rescue you.

It's a sore subject with many
victims: the National Labor Re
lations Board's union-coddling
rulings are keeping a strangle
hold over the small business
man. He may think he owns his
own place. He may depend on
it for his livelihood. But he
doesn't really have much say in
running it. Can he set up efficient
work schedules? Can he promote
the man he considers best
equipped to handle bigger job
responsibility? Can he discon
tinue an out-of-date product
that's a dead loss financially?
Before he does, he must first try
to get the union to agree to the
matter. This restraint on his free
dom is imposed by the NLRB. Is
it fair and just? Why is it that
the NLRB is so consistently one
sided, in favor of the unions?
Could it be because the labor
chieftains they pamper play
such an important role in politi
cal maneuverings, wielding their
vast vote-throwing power like
the strong man in the circus?
Isn't it time to give our country's
antiquated labor laws the good
shaking up they so urgently
need? A major revision is in
order. Shouldn't the job be un
dertaken by impartial people
with no political debts to pay
off. and no apparent vulnerabil
ity to future pressures from
union overlords?
