Because None
Is Spared —
Be Prepared
None of us can go through a
lifetime without losing someone
dearly beloved. Therefore it is
wise realism to spare yourself
future - tribulation, and become
acquainted with every proce-
dure. Come in and talk over
frankly, the funeral service in-
formation you peed to know,
The lickinp flames and thick, black smoke which snuff out hu-
man life and destroy property—in time of war are nothing short
of sabotage! For when they affect people or materials who are
producing for Victory, they directly hamper our progress in
winning the war! Perhaps fire prevention doesn’t seem a per-
sonal responsibility to you—but it is, if you have anything to
do with flammable materials; if you are a war worker or a house-
keeper or a school child. Watch your step—and don't risk care-
lessness which may cause fire: you’ll be helping win!
s
Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14th:
but fire prevention’s our job the year round!
