Home Clean-Up to Eliminate Fire
'Hazards Is Urged As Nation Studies
List of 6,000 Lives Taken Each Year
Fires in American homes take
a toll of 6,000 lives—men, women
and children—every year.
You can do something to help
insure your own family won’t be
on that ghastly casualty list, sug-
gests the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.
The board suggests a clean-up
be staged by every householder
and lists the following tips on a
proper clean-up:
l Look through the house from
top to bottom, collect all items
you’ll never use again—broken fur-
niture, old clothing, papers and
rubbish—and get rid of them. Tie
papers in bundles and see that
they reach salvage headquarters
promptly. Clean up the attic, cel-
lar, closets, garage and yard.
2. Ferret out paint and oil rags
that might cause fire from spon-
taneous ignition. Burn or put them
into a covered can. Hang oil mops
where air can circulate around
them.
3. Never burn papers or any de-
bris on a windy day. Always use
an incinerator.
4. Avoid cleaning of any kind
with gasoline, benzine or naphtha.
Hundreds are killed attempting
such cleaning annually, because
the fumes of these liquids explode
violently and are ignited by the
tiniest flame or> spark even from
rubbing fabric together. Avoid
also pouring kerosene onto a slug-
gish fire to quicken it.
5. Check furnaces, stoves, pipes
and chimneys for broken parts,
rust holes, cracks and loose bricks
or mortar as soon as you let the
fire go out this Spring. Have re-
pairs and replacements made.
Clean out all soot. Insulate with
asbestos all wood or other burn-
able material located too close to
hot parts of the furnace or pipes.
6. Inspect electrical wiring, fix-
tures and appliances for defects.
Have frayed cords on lamps and
appliances and defective equip-
ment replaced. See that all fuses
on regular household circuits are
15 amperes and that burned-out
fuses are not bridged by pieces
of metal.
7. Be careful with smoking ma-
terials and matches. Keep enough
ashtrays handy. Don’t smoke in
SHOULDER CARRIED — Fash-
ion suggestion: carry your um-
brella and you won’t lose it.
Also suggested: this red and
white plaid will make a rainy
day less gloomy, and the rayon
fabric waterproofed will pro-
tect you against the elements
for some time to come.

PUBLIC HEALTH
NURSE WEEK TO
BE OBSERVED
Texas is planning to celebrate
national “Public Health Nursing
Week” April 20 to 26, as pro-
claimed by President Truman.
The purpose of the week, ac-
cording to Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, wlil be (1) to re-
cruit more public health nurses
(2) to increase understanding of
the fact that much needless sick-
ness and suffering can be pre-
vented or reduced by using public
health nursing services (3) to en-
courage greater understanding of
public health nursing as a ser-
vice for everybody regardless of
size of income (4) to encourage
development of public health nurs-
ing services wherever needed (5)
to increase citizen participation in
public health nursing service.
From the beginning of this work
more than thirty years ago, public!
health nurses have been concerned
with the total health situation of
the family including sickness, dis-
ease, prevention and health pro-
tection.
In setting aside April 20 to 26
as “Public Health Nursing Week”
for America, health administrators
and all other friends of nursing
should exert their efforts toward
the extension of public health
nursing services, so that there will
be enough qualified nurses to meet
the needs of all the people, and
thus help in maintaining a maxi-
mum health level throughout the
nation.
Complete eradication of mes-
quite from rangeland, no matter
what method is used, depends up-
on killing the sprout buds on the
underground stem of the tree.
A five percent DDT dust will
control household ants.
