And it is the opportune time for the home town merchant to inspect his building and make a check list for the elimination of fire hazards. It seems fantastic, but last year 51,000 stores, many of them in the home towns of the nation, were destroyed by fire. The total loss was estimated at approximately $53,000,000. And fires on the nations farms are causing deaths of 3,500 persons ganizing farmers to haul water In and a property loss of nearly milk cans to fires; these cans of water help keep the pumpers going every year.

Many communities will conduct fire safety programs, designed primarily to remove immediate fire hazards. list Here is a short that the local merchant might well consult during National Fire Prevention Week: 1. Are all entrances and fire exits unobstructed, clearly marked and lighted? Z. Is all rubbish removed regularly not just out Into the store yard but . burned or hauled away? 3. Is basement storage space separated by substantial partitions and is merchandise stored neatly with easy access for fire fighting? 4. Are flammable liquids stored in approved safety containers? 5. Are all electrical Installations performed by a competent electrician? 6. Are all fuses of proper type, size and in good condition? 7. Is tbere dirt or rubbish under benches, In lockers, behind radiators, or any other part of the premises? This is a short list the local merchant might make in Inspection of his store, or his home, for that matter. The annual fire loss in the home towns and rural areas is so high today because of two general factors. There is delay in notifying the fire department because the fire Isnt Immediately noticed, and, there isnt a good supply of water near the blaze. DEFEND AMERICA buildings. Another program the merchant might find beneficial to sponsor Is fire prevention Instruction as a part of the regular curriculum of the nations rural schools. Many a group in the country today feel that fire safety education is just as important to local and national welfare as geography, history, or any other standard subject. trend toward conThe nation-wid- e solidation of small school districts into larger ones was the opening1 the door for a rural school fire safety instruction program in some areas. In Illinois, for example, the 12,000 school districts that existed In 1940 have been reduced to approximate-- . ly 5,000 districts today. The new districts are stronger financially, better administered, and should be able to include a fire safety education program in their operation. Many educators believe modern farm youth would welcome the op-- i portunity to learn fire safety as a part of their regular school work. Through such training, they would undoubtedly make Important con-- ! tributions to the fight against farm fire losses. Nine out of ten Area start through carelessness.

The antler establishes its full diameter first and then begins to elongate. Antlers are supplied by two streams of blood, the stream which runs up through the pedicel and a second stream which feeds the velvet. The animal is very sensitive during the time of antler de- Jordan during ceremonies In Amman recently. Talal is .shown here leaving Athens, Greece, en route to Amman. velopment The beam, or main stem, grows until it flattens, then bifleation takes place, which forms tines. The blood vessels eventually are filled in and closed, beginning at the top. After the antlers take on their solid form, the outer skin, or velvet, becomes very itchy, and the buck will rub his antlers against branches until all the velvet is removed and the antler becomes shiny. This whole process of growing antlers takes approximately 100 to 120 days. A first year animal will usually produce a single beam or spike, with more tines being added along with each years set of antlers. The age can be guessed from the number of tines, but this is not accurate due to possible malformation of the antlers which may be caused by: 1. Injury to the antler during growth, 2. Injury to the animal itself,' which usually causes malformation on the same side of the animal that was injured, or 3. Poor growth because of poor food. ...

AAA About Grouse On the edges of the deep woods and in the dense thickets which are its favorite habitat, the ruffed grouse (partridge" to most hunters) can, and does, give sportsmen a mighty hard time. Hard, that is, from the standpoint of bringing home meat while a fellows learning the game but as good a time as hell ever have. Grouse have the habit of seeming very scarce until a man gets all tied up in the brush. Then, exploding from cover right at his feet, theyre apt to disappear before he can snap the safety off. Even when youre not tied up In brush, theyre mighty adept at putting a couple of saplings between themselves and a charge of No. 8s. Every hunter has literally mown off the bushes as a bird disappeared unscathed, and undoubtedly also has had the experience of clubbing a tree with his while SECRETARY OF DEFENSE . . .

Paste floor wax can be used, applied iMa thin, even coat and polished axfer a half-hofor drying. It can be cleaned with a dry hair broom or cloth, or a specially treated mop. It should not need frequent rewaxing except as required in traffic lanes and near doorways. It should be polished or well rubbed about once a week. This can be done with a polishing weight, or a light electric floor polishing machine. Badly soiled places can be cleaned with a liquid wax made for this purpose.

Early-seaso- n trout fishermen enjoy the "drumming" of the males when the birds are abundant, and are saddened by the lack of it when the birds are at a low. Yes, in addition to their tricky behavior in the brush during the hunting season, grouse have another habit which gives sportsmen and biologists alike a great deal of concern. They have a tendency to be very abundant for a few years, and then very scarce for a few. This cyclic behavior has received a lot of attention from hunters as well as from professional game men. Some want to cure grouse cycles, and some only cuss them, but we still have them, and whether they can be cured or only cussed is a question not yet answered. Many observations have been advanced as explanations and have proven to be correlated with the cycles, but not necessarily the cause of them. Biologists of the Conservation departments Pittman-Robertsogrouse research project are looking for more correlations. Biologists believe their function today is to collect all the data they can, on all possible aspects of the rough grouse population, and to develop new approaches to the old problem.
