Danger of Fires
Worse on Farms
Suggestions Advanced
For Preventing Blaze
Oi an estimated fire loss of 11
600 lives and nearly 700 million
dollars in property and resources
Indicated for the year 1949, a great
percentage of these losses will be
made up of fires on the farm.
Because of lack of fire protection
or adequate fire-fighting facilities,
farm fires in almost every case are
the most disastrous, because of
the almost inevitable complete loss
which results.
Already the national board of fire
underwriters has reported property
destruction from fire in the amount
of 398 million dollars, 8.9 per cent
below the same period for 1948
But even if a downward trend
should continue for the remainder

of 1949, this year’s losses would ap
proach the 1948 all-time high of
more than 711 million dollars.
These figures mark 1948-49 as the
most disastrous period in a decade
that has recorded five billion dol
lars In fire destruction. Between
1940 and 1948, fire loss soared 132
per cent.
As the “prime cause” of most of
the 800,000 fires annually, the Board
lists "plain carelessness and mis
use of heating and lighting equip
ment” The leading single cause of
fire is careless smoking and use of
matches, accounting for 16.68 per
cent of the total destruction. How
ever, over the past ten years, the
combination of defective chimneys
and flues, stoves, furnaces, boilers
and their pipes, and sparks on roofs
* has been responsible for 20.47 per
cent of all fires reported.
Proper safeguards in installation
and maintenance of heating equip
ment chimneys and flues, safety
officials say, will prevent fires of
this type. Many communities al
ready protect their citizens with
ordinances requiring the installa
tion of flue linings in all new
chimneys. One effective means of
fireproofing chimneys involves the
use of clay flue lining which forms
a single, continuous noninflamma
ble unit inside chimneys of all
types. The indestructible clay lin
ing prevents weather, heat and
corrosive smoke and gases from
eating away the mortar between the
bricks of the chimney. This elimi
nates the danger of flames reach
ing combustible materials through
cracks between the bricks.
Authorities urge homeowners to
make a careful inspection of
chimneys and heating equipment.
New Bench Grinder
This new bench grinder for farm,
home and shop incorporates sever
al outstanding features not usually
found in a low-priced grinder.
Manufactured by Electro Machines,
Inc., Cederburg, Wis., this grinder

Although the U.S. department of
agriculture did not make the dis
covery of penicillin, its work made
it practical to produce the antibio
tic commercially. They discovered
a new and more productive strain
of the penicillin mould. Also as a
part of their war research work
they developed methods of feeding
the mold and separating and purify

I ^ ^ Can't Base Love
On Deception
By Lawrence Gould
Can you really love a person whom you deceive?
Answer: The wish to have some
one love you may almost compel
you to deceive him if you feel the
truth would alienate him from you
or destroy his good opinion of you.
Again, you may deceive someone
you love with the (frequently mis
taken) idea that you are protect
ing him from knowledge which
would only hurt him. But love that
is worn or retained by deceit won’t
make you happy because no one
can be happy who does not feel
secure, and the knowledge that the
loved one may at any moment un
mask your pretensions must keep
»nu uncertain and uneasy.
Does mental illness
families”?
Answer: Not as used to be be
lieved, writes Dr. M. Bleuler in
the Swiss Archives of Neurology
and Psychiatry. No specific men
tal ailment is directly inherited
(in the way that blue eyes or
brown hair are) or is often found
in many members of a given fam
ily group. But various features of
some type of mental illness may
be noted in various relatives of
the patient, suggesting a trend or
tendency which will take an acute
form in a given person only if the
circumstances of his life are such
as to encourage its development.
Can we explain dreams of
being strangled?
Answer: No one explanation
would fit every such dream, but in
general a nightmare expresses the
conflict between a desire which
the dreamer has been taught to
feel is dangerous or wicked and
the fear of being punished if he
dares to gratify it. The fear makes
the desired satisfaction appear in
the guise of something terrifying
or destructive which the dreamer
finally avoids by waking. Stran
gling might be the distorted sym
bol of a wish to be embraced or
“overwhelmed” under conditions
which the dreamer’s conscience
forbids.

Acquiring Emotional Stability
By Dr. James W. Barton
I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE of
our experience as medical offi
cers in World War I, when we
found so many young men unable
to pass the low requirements as to
size of chest When a boy in his
late teens or early twenties does
not have a measurement of 34 in
ches with chest expanded there is
something wrong.
The outstanding cause of chests
considered too small for service
was that these boys had not always
played much as youngsters, often
because their mothers were afraid
they would get hurt.
Unfortunately unless a recruit
was definitely a mental case, we
made no tests as to his mental
or emotional condition. The result
was that many men were sent home
or to hospital because of their emo
tional instability.
That is why in World War U, a
careful examination of the recruit’s
emotional stability was made. The
value of this screening for emotion
al disturbances is shown by the
fact that 25 per cent of the eighteen-
year-olds not accepted for service
in the armed forces, were rejected
on the ground of emotional im
maturity.
Drs. Thomas A. C. Rennie and
Luther E. Woodward in “Mental
Health in Modern Society,” the
Commonwealth Fund, 1948, atata
that “Immaturity stands out as
number one mental, emotional, and
social ills. It accounts for practical
ly all neuroses, is a major factor in
mental illness, aitt seems to be at
the root of many social problems.
On the other hand, emotional and
mental maturity (being grown up
and acting our age) is the only hope
of maximal personal satisfaction,
physical and mental health, social
progress and enduring peace.”
How can our children and we,
ourselves, achieve emotional matur
ity?
Just as the chests of boys and
girls will mature if they play, so
also will the boys and girls mature
emotionally if they play games
where they have to give and take.
Also, for children and adults, mix
ing with others, by rubbing off
shyness and other odd behavior,
will make them grow mentally and
emotionally and “act our age.”
Sighting Rule
This rule should always be re
membered when rifle sights * are
being adjusted: Always move the
rear sight in the direction in which
you desire the rifle to shoot. Move
the front sight in the OPPOSITE di
rection. The front or rear sight can
be moved in its notch by placing a
short rod of brass or copper against
it and tapping the rod with a ham
mer, while the barrel itself is sup
ported against a hard block of
wood.
Set the rifle sights to hit where
you aim at the average distance of
most of your shots in your hunting
territory. Carefully check the ex
act position of your sights as soon
as you have "sighted in” so that
they may be returned to proper
alignment if accidentally jarred out
of alignment.
The sights on all rifles are care
fully adjusted before the guns
leave the factory. If your eyes are
exactly normal and you hold the
gun in the proper manner, your
rifle should shoot true. However,
there is considerable variation in
the eyes of hunters and all shooters
do not hold in just the same man
ner. Consequently, one man may
get bulls-eyes consistently while
another, using the same rifle,
might find his bullets going wide
of the mark. The sights then may
be adjusted to make the necessary
shooting corrections.

Bluegill Popular
Even though fall is advanced and
the tang of winter is in the air over
a great section of the United States,
there is still some consolation left
for the angler who has learned just
how much sport the bluegill—or
bream—can provide.
These fish may be taken, even on
flies, until the waters of his habitat
freeze over—certainly that is the
case—in Kentucky, at least.
While small worms and minnows
are the usually accepted diet of the
bluegill, the fly rod is becoming in
creasingly popular in taking these
small, but gamey fish. Some ang
lers, referring to the bluegill’a
fighting propensities, assert that if
the bluegill ever got to weigh tour
or five pounds, he'd pull the angler
in the pond!

Swan on Rampage
A rampaging swan that attacked

The bird was -one of two that had
been making their home in the vi

mate had been killed by an auto
mobile.

God Our Comfort
Lesson for November 6, 1949
Dr. Foreman
MS THE ENGLISH language
** keeps on changing, words do
not always keep on meaning what
they once did. “Comfort” is one of
these. When our Bible was trans
lated into English in 1611, the trans
lation most Eng
lish-speaking peo
ple use, the word
“comfort” had a
bigger meaning
than most people
put into it nowa
days. We think of
it as meaning
soothing; but it is
a bigger idea than
that. God is not
merely a soothing
God. We think of
“comfort” as meaning to make
comfortable; but it is a stouter
word than that. God does not al
ways make his people comfortable.
The word means to strengthen, to
steel against fear and despair, to
put backbone into people.
• • •
“Fear Not, O Worm!”
A T THE TIME of the prophecies
we study this week, the Israel
ites had been kicked around a good
deal. They had felt the conqueror’s
boots, they were discouraged, as
all good people are when somehow
God seems to be letting evil forces
triumph. Their little world had
split wide apart, their little nation
had been blown to the winds.
To those people, torn by ter
rors and bowed down by
wretchedness, people who were
In serious danger of developing
a once-for-all "inferiority com
plex,” people who were about
to lose all their backbone, the
great prophet brings his mes
sages: “Comfort ye my people,
saith your God.”
Hie whole idea is in this one
sentence (Is. 41:14): “Fear not, O
worm Jacob! ... I am your helper,
saith the Lord.”
God does not indulge his people
in foolish pride. Beside the Al
mighty they are worms, insects.
Nevertheless, worm though he may
be, the man who trusts in God will
not be afraid. He will not trust in
his own powers, he will trust in
luck, he will trust in God.
A worm by itself is nothing; but
with God on his side, the weakest
of men can say with Paul, “If God
be for us, who can be against us?”
God’s men do not get their cour
ages up by flexing their muscles or
admiring themselves. They grow in
courage as they grow in the know
ledge of God.

Goodness And Power
A NY ONE who saw "Edward, My
Son” will remember the trage
dy of that family. A boy’s charac
ter went slowly to pieces, because
his father was determined that
nothing should be too good for him.
To gain his purpose the father ran
rough-shod over everyone wfto
stood in his way, and eventually
ruined the lives of all around him,
including his son’s and his own.
The mother, on the other hand,
could see, as the father could not,
what his indulgence was doing to
the boy, making him a weakling
and a rat But she was too weak
to stand up against her husband,
and her life too was ruined. That
story is a kind of parable.
The prophet reveals a God
who is both powerful and good;
but suppose God were only
good but not powerful, or only
powerful but not good? Then
the world would be In a mess,
as that boy Edward was In a
mess.
But these three are all in the
same God. A God who is power
only, might do as Edward’s father
did, destroy his children without
even intending to do so. A God
who is goodness only, might want
to do right by his world yet not be
able to do so, like Edward’s moth
er. A God who knew what was right
but neither wanted nor was able to
do much about it, would not be a
God at all.
• • •
God Is Not Weary
S UPPOSE GOD were Indeed pow
erful, good and wise, and yet
grew tired from time to time? Sup
pose all God's good qualities came
and went, unpredictably, like the
wind on a spring day?
No; God is the Maker and
Keeper of Promises, the Cove
nant God. He does not grow
faint or weary; that is our
anchor of comfort.
The earth changes, and men with
it; but the Word of the Lord abides
forever. His “convenant of peace”
does not waver. We do not need to
lean gingerly on the Almighty. Ha
will bear all our weight.

Variety Gives Lunch Boxes Interest
(Set Recipes Below)
Sandwich Tricks
H OMEMAKERS who put together
lunch boxes daily are apt to
fall into just as much of a rut about
them as the
school children
or husbands who
eat them. Yet,
since lunch is
such an impor
tant meal of the
day, rules for
variety must be
observed c o n-
sistently.
Explore your
ingenuity for sandwich combina
tions. These, after all, are the main
stay of almost every lunch box.
Think of other ways to make packed
lunches interesting. See what inter
esting salad and fruit combinations
can be tucked in small .glass jars
or cartons to add zest to the meal.
Hot beverages and soups are par
ticularly interesting in cold weather.
A few unexpected surprises in the
way of candied dried fruits, confec
tions and new cookies or some rel
ishes for the sandwiches will make
• constant delight for the person
opening the packed lunch.
Plan for lunch boxes at least a
week at a time, so that the same
breads and fillings are not re
peated too often. Add special and
appetizing seasonings to the sand-
wich fillings; prepare foods care-
fully and neatly and see how much
fun this task can become!
Make quick work of the lunch
box by aettlng a tray of necessary
materials in an easy-to-reach cup
board. This should contain a knife
for spreading as well as one for
cutting the bread. Waxed paper and
baga, cartons or covered glass cups,
rubber bands, tin foil, candies,
fruits, etc., should be on the tray.
In the refrigerator, keep another
section or tray with the fillings or
spreads, salads and fruits, vege
tables, and relishes, so that you
need get out only the two trays to
get together the lunch.

often makes tor variety to make
one of meat, fish or cheese, and the
other one a vegetable combination.
The crispness as
well as a good
choice of flavors
will make the

wich. •
Lettuce, watercress or young, ten
der spinach leaves, or other greens,
topped with thinly sliced tomatoes
and mayonnaise gives a salad
sandwich.
Leftover peas may be mashed
and mixed with mayonnaise and
peanuts for interesting variety.
Fruit Sandwiches
Grind % cup dates with % cup
figs; add some chopped nuts and
moisten with pineapple and lemon
juice.
Slice bananas thin, dip them in
orange juice. Place on buttered
bread, covered with lettuce, then
sprinkle with a few chopped nuts.
Thinly sliced apples, spread with
mayonnaise mixed with chopped
celery and nuts, gives a salad type
sandwich.
Egg Sandwiches
Mix hard-cooked, chopped eggs
with mustard and mayonnaise.
Add catsup to taste and enough
chopped cucumber or cucumber
pickles to make the spread crisp.
Chopped hard-cooked eggs com
bine well with chopped watercress
or finely shredded lettuce and sal
ad dressing to moisten.
Baking-powder biscuits take on
novel interest when made with
orange juice replacing milk. Add
some of the grated rind, too, if you
want to sharpen the flavor.
Finely chopped pecans, two table
spoons to a cup of rice, will do
much more than you expect to that
delicacy which is already such a
favorite.
Fillets of fish take on festive airs
