Nation Askctd to H$lp Heavy "Yule Time Fire m S'... Y. Americans are being asked by the National Board of Fire Underwrit ers to keep fire safety in mind this Christmas and prevent a "reoccur rence of the heavy toll in fire deaths recorded a year ago. In the three days beginning at 6:09 p.m. on Christmas Eve., there were 77 fire deaths in .the United States compared with 43 deaths the preceding Christmas. A total of M persons (Bed in fires daring a three-day period last New Year's compared with 63 per* sons in a like period a year earlier. Care Is Urged “The Christmas season can be a joyous one for all of us if we use ordinary care,*’ said Lewis A. Vincent, general manager of the National Board of Fire Underwrit ers. “It is a well-known fact that three-fourths of all fires are caused by carelessness and forgetfulness.** Fire Fatalities Deaths from fire which occurred during the Christmas and New Year’s holiday periods of the last 10 years, according to the National Safety Council, are as follows: Year Christmas New Year’s 1960 77 66 1959 43 63 1958 93 6l 1957 27 20 1956 ' 53 71 1955 68 74 1954 ' 63 27 1953 81 40 1952 82 58 1951 111 69 La Grange Men on Doty in German^ ' Sgt. John W. Brilt and Specialist Four Alton R. Ham of La Grange, recently participated with other members of the 8th Infantry Di vision and supporting ffnits in Ex ercise in central (Germany. The exercise, which involved some 28,000 troops, was designed to de velop small unit leadership and test combat readiness.

This no one knows for sure, but a majority of the men who know most aborft the problem have, said many times that they don’t think we need to start'worrying yet. s Whether you are in favor of fall out shelters or not, we can’t just retreat to a shelter this winter. The man of the house has to go Jo work, the lady has to go shopping and the kinds have to go,to school. We have" to be out in all kinds of weather everyday. If therp is ra .dioactive fallout in the air, we-’ll get some of it, and there’s nothing we can do about it. 'The American Medical Associa tion recently conducted a survey of seven of the top experts in the nation. All seven agreetT that fallr out w*as not a health hazard. Since that time, ,m<#e botn^s have been Exploded, but 'the princ^ remains the same. ‘Thi -best opinion of a majority of the experts is that we can absorb all of the fallout now floating around without damage. ^ Radiation in all its forms will play an increasing role in the lives of all mankind. The uses of nuclear fission will continue to expand and potential radiation hazards will in crease accordingly. The need 'for conservative management of all ra diation- sources is obvious.

Bor Asm Trust* of' Savings Accouts ' John Jones deposits $1,000 of his own money in a savings account which is entitle'd “John Jones in trust for Mary Dugan." He’ sub sequently withdraws $030 from this account and spends it for his own personal heeds, tjpon his death there is only $80 in the' particular savings account. Neither Mbrji Du gan nor any one else learns of the deposit until, after the death of John Jones. John Jones leaves a large estate frhe from the claims of creditors. How much, if anything, may Mary Dugan recover? Dugan recover ? Mary Dugan may recover the $80 remaining on deposit in the sav ings accoiiint. She.' cannot recover anything from the estate, of Johnf Jones. - t ^ In the absence of a different in tention of the depositor, ithe in ference here is that John Jones -in tended to create in respect to the particular savings account a revo cable trust. The withdrawal of $930 was a manifestation that he had in part revoked the trust originally created by- him in favor of Mary Dugan. When a person makes a deposit in a savings account' in a bank in his own name as trustee for ano ther person intending to reserve a powep to withdraw the whole or any part of the deposit at any time during his lifetime and to use' as his own whatever he may withdraw, or otherwise to revoke the trust, the intended trust is, enforceable and research on a wide front is gor ing rapidly ahegfl.

Learning to live with radia tion all around us is something we cannot control, something whose harm to mankind is still largely an unknown factor. / serves the right to do so. Further more, these so-called "tentative are limited to savings as*, trusts' (. counts in banks or other savings organizations.
