Don't panic!
If the bedroom door is clos-
ed, put the palm of your hand
against it to see whether it feels
hot. If the door does feel hot,
don't open it. The door is a •
protective wall which may save
your life. It takes a fire two to
five minutes to burn through a
door, and in that time help may.

If the door is cool, brace
your knee against it and open it
a bit. If the hall outside is not
filled with smoke, and there
are no flames, cautiously cheek
the stairway. If it is clear, you
may use this regular route of
escape. If there is any doubt
about getting safely down the
stairs, go back to your bedroom
and close the door.
Wake up your neighbors by
opening the window and shout-
ing, "Fire!" If there is a phone
in the room, call the fire de-
partment quickly. Stay by the
window to breathe the fresh air
-arid don't panic.
Take a look around. If the
window leads out onto a porch
roof and fire begins breaking in-
to the room around the door,
you can crawl out onto the
porch roof to await rescuers.
• If no such roof is at hand and
the fire makes it necessary to
leave the room, gather bedding,
pillows, clothing, and blankets
together and drop them to the
ground under the window to
cushion your landing. Then ease
yourself over the windowsill,

Grease the distance between you
and the ground. Then drop on-
to the pile of blankets and pil-
lows.
It's a good idea not to drop
to the ground except as a last
resort. You could break a limb.
Remember -- keep calm at
all times.
Now, suppose your clothing
suddenly caught fire. What
should you do?
If you are in the bedroom
with a bath adjoining, step in-
side, get under the shower and
turn it on quickly. If you are
in the kitchen and a sleeve of
your blouse or coat should catch
fire, rush to the sink, turn on
the faucet and douse it with
water,
A small fire in clothing also
can be snuffed out quickly by
sopping the flames with a wet
dish towel. If you are in the
living room or in some place
where there is no water, drop
to the floor, fold your arms,
and roll over slowly. Keep
your hands in front of your face
to protect it from flames.
Rolling over and over will
help to smother the fire. If the
burning garment can be remov-
ed, take it off fast. Never run
when your clothing is on fire!
Running merely supplies more
air to feed the flames.
If you are in a room with
another person whose clothing
catches fire, grab a blanket, if
one is handy, wrap it tightly
around him to cut off the air,
and pat the blanket hard to
snuff out the flames. Or you
can roll him on the floor to
snuff out the flames.
If a person appears to have
major burns, call a doctor at
once,
If you are in the basement
of your house and your clothing
catches fire, rush to a laundry
tub and slosh water over the
flames.
And never wear oil -soaked
or paint -covered clothing! It
can catch fire quickly. Gar-
ments which become oil -soak-
ed with paint should be laund-
ered at once before being worn
again. An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.
If an electrical appliance
or your television set catches
fire, remove the plug from the
electrical outlet immediately,
if possible, and call the fire de-
partment.
If you have a grease fire iia
your stove, never throw water
on it. That will only spread
the flames. Tear the top off
your box of salt or baking soda
and sprinkle the flames with
either material.
Here, again, it is best to pre-
vent a fire in the first place.
Clean your oven or broiler reg-
ularly and you will have elim-
inated a fire hazard.
If you are in a supermarket
or other building where there
are crowds and someone shouts
"Fire!" - don't run and don't
rush toward an exit. A hundred
people, walking out in orderly
fashion, can get out of the av-
erage supermarket in thirty sec-
onds. A half dozen people rush-
ing to get out of an exit at the
same time can jam the exit and
cause loss of life in the crush,
Modern schools, too, are
provided with ample exits and,
as every student knows, hun-
dreds can leave a school build-
ing quickly and safely if fire
drill procedures are followed.
Tonight, when your family
is all together, sit down and
draw up an escape plan. Be
sure every member of your
household is familiar with the
plan and knows two alternate
escape routes to use in case of
fire,
And impress upon everyone
that if fire strikes your home,
first get everyone out of the
house; then call the fire depart-
ment.
In cities where the telephone
company has in effect the "O"
for operator, dial system, you
need not even call the fire de-
partment if the fire is had and
you want to get out of the house.
You simply pick up the phone,
dial the operator and say, "my
house is on fire." If you do not
have time to give the address,
simply leave the receiver off
the hook. The operator will
trace the call and summon the
fire department. -- Healthways

MORRIS BARN BURNS - The large steel
barn owned by Wellington Marks on the
fifth concession of Morris Township went
up in flames late Tuesday evening. Lost in
the fire was the season's crop and over 100
pigs. The structure was only two years old,
having been rebuilt at that time when an
older barn was also burned. Both the
Wingham Rural Brigade and the Brussels
truck as well as the Morris Township tank-
er were on hand but were unable to save
the building when the call was placed about
10:15 p.m.
