One of tho richest strikes lips in Li beria's Boini Hills, some of which are virtually solid iron ore. Guard Against Fire By Slate of Nebraska Department of Health Fire prevention begins at home. Fires in houses spread rapidly because there are so many combustible articles on which they may feed. It is your responsibility to prevent them from starting. Traditionally, Fire Prevention Week each year is the full cal endar week including Oct. u, the anniversary of the great Chicago fire of 1871 which, ac cording to legend, started in Mrs. O'Leary's barn when a cow kicked over a lantern. A large number of the deaths by fire involve women and chil dren in the home. What many people fail to realize Is that numerous deaths are caused by suffocation from smoke and gases from a fire rather than by actual burning. Smoke is the number one killer. Many fires start in trash piles, rubbish, or stored odds and ends that accumulate in and around the hout;e. Good housekeeping is one of the best ways to prevent both the start cf a fire and its epread. Sometimes fire strikes in spite of our precautions. Teach the members of your family basic protection procedure in case of tire. Plan an escape program that takes care of everyone. Have a family fire drill now and then. In the event of fire, the important thing is to get every one out of tvh e house quickly and safely. Once you have escaped from a burning build ing, stay . out! Countless lives have' been lost because people already safely outside decide to go back for pets, valuables, clothing, important papers, or whatnot. Reporting a fire promptly and accurately is extremely im portant. If you cmell smoke, do not rush out into the hall. Fir,5i make this test. Place the palm of the hand against the door. If the door feels hot, the hall way is already filled with dead ly heated gases. In that case, either escape through a window or wait at the window for res cue by the fire department. If clothing catches fire, don't run. This tans the flames. Tear off clothing, if possible, or smother the fire with a heavy woolen cloth. Don't use cotton cloth as it burns quickly. Every home has some fire hazards. Make a careful check, and as you find the danger spots, correct them. The Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Dept. is conducting a cam paign for funds, its start coin ciding with the start of Fire Prevention Week. Money ob tained will be used to purchase firel'ighting equipment so the department can better serve its fire protection district, Platts mouth and the surrounding area. China's centuries-old, incred ibly complex linguistic system may be simplified by the elimi nation of complicated strokes or even replaced by the Latin alphabet. Written Chinese has about 40,000 word symbols, some requiring more than 20 brush strokes. Every character carries the same meaning anywhere in China, but provincial dialect determines pronunciation.
