You are urged to observe it by cleaning out all combustible rubbish i* your home. This rubbish is a dangerous fire hazard!" Does it prod you into action ? If not, maybe you have no combustible rubbish in your home. Or maybe -- and this is more probable -- you are like a charocter we might caH "Some-Day Sam." Plenty of us do just what "Some-Day Sam" does. He reacts a story like that and states firmly, "Some day Tm really going to get after that stuff and clean it out!" He means it -- and so f do we. Not today, of course -- but later, definitely! After all. what's the rush? "That stuff" has been there a long time and it isn't doing any harm. Is it? No -- just now. it isn't. But it can, and often does! Every year, the National Board of Fire Underwriters estimates, there aa-e close to 300,00 home fires in urban places alone. In many cases, the conditions causing these fires have existed for weeks or months "without doing any harm." But you can pua.i • your luck too far. The percentage of fires caused by rubbish and litter is increasing. The on<y cure for the situaition is for the "Some-Day Sams" to get busy! Actually, the hardest part of the job is starting it. Once you get going, it's very satisfying to ulean the place up and throw out all that useless rubbish. The results are worth the effort, too. You'll have more space, it will be easier to keep the rooms clean, and most important, your home will be safer from fire! IT'S HERE!
