Editorial
It is a tragic fact that 11.000
persons die every year as a
result of fire. Still more tragic
is the fact that at least 2,000
are children, most of them under
five years of age.
Why are these little children
so often fire's victims?
One reason is their utter help
lessness as babies. If trapped,
for instance, in a burning build
ing, they are powerless to help
themselves.
Another reason is their in
quisitiveness and lack of fear of
fire.
Since children spend most of
their time at home, parents
should teach them simple safety
rules and, above all. see to it
that fire hazards do not exist
an and around the house.
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters this Fire Preven
tion Week, October 4-10, is us
ing every means possible to em
phasize the safety measures
whereby loss of life and prop
erty can be substantially re
duced. Let us in this community
assume our share of this re
sponsibility and help make Am
erica safe from fire.

CANCER NOTES
If everyone who receives the
appeal for Cancer funds, which
will be enclosed with the elec
tric bill October 15, would give
just one dollar, Seward would
get about $1,000 for the Cancer
fund.
The money received in the
drive here does not remain in
Seward. It is sent to Juneau for
distribution by the Alaska Can
cer Society, to areas where it is
needed most.
WE needed help last vear.
WE GOT IT!
