_Fire Prevention Weak?
Faced with a tricky and poten
tially dangerous grease fire this
housewife is confused and help
less because the equipment she
carries is the wrong kind. If she’d
, learned the lesson of Fire Preven
tion Week she’d know one kind of
extinguisher from another, would
not tackle a cooking fire with wa
ter or soda acid. With a handy
Kidde carbon dioxide portable she
could snuff out the blaze quickly
and safely, without even spoiling
the food.

to an old fashioned spelling bee.

HIGH SCHOOL
High school students have been
studying for the six weeks exams
which are coming up next week.
Since the gymnasium is being re
varnished, the girls have had an
extra hour, the physical ed hour,
to work on other subjects.
The band quartet, Jimmy Roth,
LeRoy Reader, Paul Glavinovich
and Robert Summers, have been
practicing quite often and the
halls, upstairs and down, ring
with the strains of “Abide With
Me.”
Every student in high school
will write a theme entitled, “What
America Mans to Me.” The best
of these will be chosen by Mrs.
Cameron and submitted to local
women’s clubs as they are spon
soring this project. One or two
may be selected for entry in a
national contest.
GALE WINDS LASH FLORIDA
MIAMI, Florida, UP)—Gale winds
and stinging rain lashed a Vide
area of Florida today as a tropical
storm, barely under hurricane
force, bore down on the Florida
Gulf West Coast near Ft. Meyers.
There was more fear of rain in
the waterlogged Florida peninsula
than of the blustery squalls and
gales sweeping over the land. Ar
my engineers around Lake Okee
chobee went on a hurricane alert
but made it clear that their great
est concern was of floods.
