w w-p w w o m f w w m n r v EDITORIALS Howard's Homespun Support Your Volunteers' Fire Dept. Fund Campaign There is an important campaign in progress in this community. It th'sorvt's your support because you deserve the best. It is the Tlattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department's second annual mail cam paign for funds. It deserves your support not because the people conducting it want to be suc cessful for their own sakes but because what they're doing is for you and is im portant! This, like the fire department itself, is a volunteer effort of men dedicated to providing a vital service. Without fire pro tection or protected inadequately life would be much more expensive perhaps even shorter. Contributing to the fund campaign is just good common sense. We need pro tection. We have the volunteers. They need adequate equipment to do the job they want to do. Have you ever stopped to think what worry owning property or personal pos sessions would be without a firefighting force at hand? The volunters are giving their time freely and su porting this fund drive, too. It isn't asking much that we support the drive. And, if you are inclined to take first protection lightly, consider this: Home accidents this year will kill more than 27,000 Americans and injure more than 4,000,000 more. Fire is the top cause of home accident deaths in most ago groups. it's sensible to provide fire protec tion and be conscious of fire hazards and do our best to eliminate them. The National Board of Fire Under writers says matches and smoking cause more than 25 per cent of all fires, so re member these safety rules: keep an ash tray close at hand, and use it!; never toss a lighted match away blow it out, hold it a minute, then put it in an ashtray: be fore emptying ashtrays be sure the con tents are cool; use a flashlight instead of a match in a dark closet; before retiring see that no cigarettes or cigars are smoldering on rugs or furniture; AND NEVER SMOKE IN BED! A minute for safety today may add years to your family's future. Your dollars for the fund campaign will do the same. Reducing Can Be Dangerous Women and young girls and even some men, we hear all over the nation often lose their sense of balance when it comes to the subject of over weight. Every one of them, who imagines that she is a few pounds beyond a sylph-like figure plans to cut down on food intake in order to take off the excess. Well, this is a rather risky process, and you don't have to take our word for it, either. Consult your own physician. Few women in Cass County are dieti cians of sufficient experience to know how to properly diet themselves. Nine times out of ten, the "diets" result in more fat, or, at least, no reduction, but are accompanied it is feared by medical authorities, with nervous diseases and a generally-weak-ended body. One of the best ways to reduce is to take more exercise. Try that before you cut down too severely on food. Of course, we THOUGHT FOR TODAY Men arc as much blinded by the extremes of misery as by the extremes of poverty.

What is aggravating and gets people to worrying about work is work ing without a will. Doing something you like to do is as important as eating. Getting up in the morning is a real art. Few of us do it gracefully or graciou sly. Getting all you want to do accomplish ed isn't so important as doing the best you can to accomplish it. Whether or not you believe in space travel you must have wondered just why anyone would want to go to the moon. I have. Lots of people bored with life because they've been to so many places and seen so many things haven't seen all of their own country, state or even their own home tov n. Peop'o who drive hard bargins some times turn out to be poor drivers. if Wonder why every American sports championship has to be titled "World" as in World Series, World Fro Football 1'layoff etc. Suppose the rest of the world wonders how it got eliminated? The terrible thing about dieting is the food! The tragedy of the world, to small boys, is that the home team lost. The man who does his work on time, all the time, has plenty of time. A Partisan is a man who think those who disagree with him are rogues. yc A criticism sometimes does an indi vidual more good than a compliment. Lookng ahead may be interesting but looking behind is often more profitable. Personally, we are sorry to see the nation divide along group or sectional lines but politics are that way, too often. know that most people eat too much and could eliminate some poundage by eating properly, but to severely reduce the diet, while carrying on the usual routine, is posi tively dangerous and should be avoided by sensible people.

The Kyes Have It Do you know you can predict the characteristics of your child eyes? From a report, if one par ent has large eyes, the baby will probably have the same. It only one parent has slanting eyes, the children's eyes are not likely to have this shape, although it may appear In the next generation. If either parent has long lash es, there is every possibility that the child will also have them. The baby's eye color is deter mined by the genes in both par ents.
