Thursday, October 4/ 1962 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH Page Twenty-Five Handicapped Worker Contributes, Greatly To Field Qt Industry The week of Oct. 7 to 13 has been proclaimed as the nation's eighteenth annual National Employ the Physicals- Handicapped Week. Its merits are well known to almost everyone who has personal knowledge of someone in his own community who is making a valuable contribution to business in spite of a handicap. Since the beginning ot the observance, there have been great strides made in assisting the handicapped to assume a useful role in the national work force. Even so, there are stijl areas of industry that have been reluctant to give thenp an opportunity to show what they can do. It has been proved through reports from government, private industry and insurance companies that handicapped workers properly trained for their jobs are dependable and capable. As they have excelled in overcoming their handicaps, so do they excel in their work. The Illinois State Employment Service has thousands of skilled handicapped workers listed as job applicants. Those closest to the situation give assurance that giving them jobs won't be giving charity. -- it is just good business. Fire Plays No Favorite As Toll Continues To Mount "Round the calendar ancfc 'round the clock, fire strikes an average of over 1,000 American homes every day. Some are serious. Some are inconsequential. But every fire means a loss. Fire takes lives, too. Last year there were 1-1,700 fire fatalities in the United States. And more than 70,000 persons were injured in fires. Fire plays no favorites. It hits where it is least wanted and least expected. Last year there were serious fires in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and churches, as well as in private dwellings. Many of these fires should never have happened. The National Board of Fire Underwriters reminds us that threefourths of all fires are the result of carelessness, and with a little care we should be able to reduce our mounting fire toll. And mounting it is. Last year fire losses totaled $1,209,042,340, the greatest dollar loss in history and an increase of 9.1 per cent over the preceding year. It was the fifth year in a row in which losses exceeded the billion dollar mark. The efforts of every citizen in the nation are needed in the drive for fire safety. You can join the drive in many ways: 1. After you have smoked a cigarette, make sine you extinguish it. 2. Keep matches out of the reach of children. 3. Never leave small children alone. If you must leave children, ask' an adult to stay with them or employ a qualified baby sitter. 4. Never strike matches or carry lighted matches or candles in closets, or attics. 5. Keep electrical appliances in good repair. 6. Make sure your electric fuse box contains fuses of the proper amperage. 7. Never smoke in bed. If we all do our part we can keep fires from happening.

For a week now Lil has beei^tlying to cage it to save it from harm it Will inevitably meet. I found it surprising that a parakeet could . survive that iong outside.
