SOKOKIQ HOME FIRE PREVENTION You don t have to look far to find fire hazards Just take a thoughtful look around your own home' Start with the attic lf thls is a place where odds and ends are carelessly bundled away Look around the chlm ney What s going to happen in case of a hot chimney fire? How about piles of dusty and yellowed old news papers and magazlnes empty cardboard boxes and cartons discarded old clothes? Are there any heaps of old rags especially olly ones which could ignite through spontaneous combus t1on Old bottles left where the sun could strike them at a certam tragic angle have been known to supply that fatal spark which can cause a costly re How about the electrlcal equipment? Is the wiring of the house itself safe Are any of the circuits apt to become overloaded? Do you know the location and use of the fuse box Have you extra fuses and do you use them pro perly or do you try that criminally stupld trlck of substltutlng a penny? Look for frayed or damaged electrical cords and plugs That extension cord 1n the girls room may be in tlp top shape but how about the one ln the boys room or the one that takes quite a beating back of the kltchen table? Whlle we re on the subject of electrlcal appllances do you make careful use of tnem Electric irons carelessly left on the lronlng board whlle you carry on a prolonged telephone conversatlon can produce dlre results What about your heating system? Each method of heatmg has its own peculiar problems Is your kitchen woodbox safely located and do you take sufficient care in dlsposmg of ashes that may contain llve coals? Does your fireplace have a stable and large enough screen? Is your kerosene or fuel oil storage place really safe How about the chlmneys themselves? Is your oll heating system properly cleaned and serviced? Watch out for lampshades which may be very attractive but also very in flammable What will result from pro longed contact of shade and hot bulb? Beware of too hot grease on the stove Blazing fat can cause a sudden and terrlfylng fire Many home cleaning fluids are m fiamable and hence dangerous If you use one read and follow the directions with extreme care If there are smokers ln your family keep them llberally supplled with ash trays You can find fire hazards anywhere you look so do look and find them and get rid of them Elinor Gllpatrlck Tl-IE PARENTS' VIEWVPOINT Children all over the United States at some time or other have said th1s when their parents were trylng to explain something to them Aw what do you know about this You went to school a long time ago Times have changed That statement IS absolutely true Tlmes have changed and the parents vlew may not correspond to what the child IS being taught but remember this your father and mother are not trying to disprove you or your teacher They are merely trying to help you out through their own experiences They are trying to tell you of and pre pare you for the great responsibllltles you must face when you receive your diploma and step out to take your place ln the world They aren t saying these thmgs Just to hear themselves talk They are doing this fox your own 12 I , . . . , . , ' . . 1 ' ' . , 1 . . . , , . , . . v s . . , .
