Fire’s Toll
Among Children
Speaking over a recent radio
broadcast, sponsored by the Na-
tional Board of Fire Underwriters,
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Rohde,daughter
of the late William Jennings Bryan,
told of the terrible toll fire takes
among children of the country.
In 1944, said Mrs. Rohde, 6,000
children under five years of age
died in home accidents—and bums
accounted for 2,00 of their number.
In 1945, 7,500 children seriously
crippled from burns were being
cared for by state agencies. The
number of similar victims in pri-
vate homes is not known, but must
be far greater.
“These children died or were
crippled needlessly." added Mrs.
Rohde. “These tragedies in most
instances were due to adult care-
lesssness or negligence. Let us not
wait until tragedy has brought the
full force of this to us. Let us be-
gin a campaign of prevention at,
once.
It is not the children who nuke
the mistakes of omision and com-
mission that are responsible for
most fires. It is not the children
who are enexcusably indifferent to
the danger. It is, instead, parents
who fail to take the simple pre-
cautions that will prevent the great
mapority of fires—and the com-
munities which lack adequate fire
safety laws.
The ghastly toll will continue to
grow—until every adult in the
in the campaign to
conquer fire.
Billy Joe Fletcher, this year’s
pitcher for Carrollton, comes from
a family of ball players. His father
Mr. Oard Fletche^, is known as one

ing to 262 batters, Fletchers has
struckout 149, walked ten, and hit
eight men with pitched balls. Out
of seventy-four innings, he has
allowed twenty-one hits and has
had nine runs scored against him.
Fletoher has been to bat thirty-two
times this season and gained eleven
hits making on average of 334.
This year’s catcher has been a
freshman boy, Pat Roach, who has
an unusual batting average.
Mr. Burnett Perry honored the
baseball team and their coach with
a chicken dinner at the Elite Cate,
Wednesday night, May 28.
