If an enemy attacks this country, his bombs, whether they be atomic, high explosive, or incendiary, will cause more damage by fire than they will by blast. Hence, anything done to make it hard for fires to start is a step towards preparing your community to protect itself if war comes. The majority of all fires start in*chimneys.

You will be surprised at how many burnable odds and ends are really useless to you. Don't let them make your home a fire haxard. Get rid of them. If local . welfare agencies cant uipe them, call the junk man. Don't stop when you've cleared out the inside of your house.

Some result from too much soot in Others are caused by rusted or cracked pipes and fittings. Look over your heating sys- | tem now. If your chimney needs \ it, clean it out. If the furnace pipes and connections are cracked , and rusted, replace them. ' Teach your family not to put . magazines, papers, or clothing on radiators or near open flames. Don't hang flimsy curtains near your kitchen stove. Don't allow lamp shades to come in contact" with light bulbs. Remember that siuch things don't have to touch flame to burn.
