There was to be the usual distribution of pasters, signs, and leaflets, but the main emphasis was to be placed on making the State itself so attractive that visitors ■would flock here a.s bees to the honeycomb. In other words, the State was to be its own best advertisment. A sound principlt. Where a cause is a good one it will stand on its merits. The truth will out,' the good truth as well as the bad. Make the product good enough and people will find out about it. Make the state .<5o attractive that people will naturally come, here. There are all .<orts of ways US.

In a different class and quite as important are the things we can do along so cial lines to make life in our county better—healthier, more productive, perhaps happier, and more attractive. The story of the work for maternal welfare in the county IS 'a vivid illustration of this point. Tiere is .something tiiai has been done quietly and with little publicity.

And so it is up to you whether fire continues its inexcusable ravages. Don’t try to console yourself with the thought that fires are inevitable—le.ss than two in ten fall into that category. And don’t argue that fire pi'e- vention is the other fellow's bu.s- iness. It’s your owti personal business- and everv’body else’s business too. The fact that fire destroys around $400 000,000 worth of property and 10,000 lives each yp"r in this country is a severe indictment of the American peo ple. The only possible plea is “Guilty as charged!” Wil we permit fire’s ravages to contin ue? KITH DORIS SWETT IS WINNER OF Cl'P .4WARD President George H.

Fire—the great destroyer- best sort of advertising our county could have, IT CAN HAPPEN HERE Nation after nation in Europe has fallen victim to the same technique. Norway is the last to .suffer. Even as these words ap pear in print, Holland or Ruma nia or some other small country May see its fears justified, and follow in the footsteps of Poland and the others. Adolph Hitler descriljed the technique years ago in his book, “My Battle.” He would conquer nations, he boasted, by establish ing and enc "iraging enemies within their own borders, ene mies who woud betray their countries at the critical moment for their owti real or imagined gain. Americans can learn an object lesson from the bitter exper iences of the little lands of Eu- During the first three months of the year, it turned $100,459,- 700 worth of proper,ty into ash and debris. It thus exceeded its record for the same period in 1939, when property valued at S87,600,000 went up in smoke and flame. * No data is available on the number of lives taken by fire in the first quarter, but going by past precedents, it took more than 2,000. That many people met one of the most horrible of death.s. It’s only human when we read figures like this, to shrug, shake cur heads, say “Too bad!” and prompty forget them. And that human weakness is the main reason w'hy fire is such a “glow ing success.” Fire w'axes fat on human letha.^gj' and laziness— even as it prospers on human forgetfulness and ignorance.
