hoped that the American peopl
were at last becon fix cor
scious.” Apparently the hope was
unfounded. Carelessness and ig-
norance continue to destroy, thru
the medium of fire, thousands of
irreplaceable lives and a gigantic
amount of property each year.”
This week, October 5-11, has
been set aside as “Fire Prevention
Week.” Once more private and
public organizations will endeavor
to instill in the public a knowledge
of fire hazards, of the need for
better building construction and
the like. Once more we will Have
the opportunity to learn, under ex-
pert guidance, lessons that are of
direct financial benefit to all of us.
The issue is up to the public. Our
gigantic fire loss is a menace to
prosperity, to home building, to in-
dustrial progress. It is a national
disgrace that can be remedied only
by unceasing vigilance in our
homes and places of business.
“SAFETY” STARTS IN SCHOOLS
Developing intelligent citizens
through safety education an
teaching accident prevention as a
means of promoting interest in
workmen’s compensation and other
related problems, is advocated by
L. T. Tustin, Supervisor of Rural
Schools in the state of West Vir-
ginia.- He points out that a cau-
tious man or woman is seldom in-
jured except through momentary
lack of concentration of thought or
through the unexpected presence of
an unusual circumstance whose
consequence cannot be avoided.
Mr. Tustin cites the appalling
growth of the automobile death
rate, and says:
“It is clear to me that there is
~aed of some consistent effort to
reduce the number of public acci-
dents. It also appears clear that if
the school can do something to this
end, it is wholly justified in includ-
ing in its curriculum instruction
designed to decrease the constant-
ly growing number of accidents and
deaths.
“The progressive teacher will ex-
perience new means of making her
schoolroom a living, active world, in
which the children acquire the ex-
periences of life through living; in
which these experiences will be or-
ganized for the control of situa-
tions outside the schoolroom, that

Bee May Give Up Lease,
but She’s Good Tenant
About 8,000,000 colonies of bees
acknowledge human protection in the
United States and return for it more
than 140,000,000 pounds of honey a
year, It is a curious relationship that
exists between men and bees. For no
matter how long domesticated, the hee
remains a true barbarian. Though
she may trace her ancestry tarough
hundreds "of generations of hive
dwellers, she, without a moment's no
tice, may take to the woods, make her
home in a hollow tree and revert com
pletely to the primitive.
The compact between man and bee
is that of landlord and tenant. The
beekeeper tricks his bees into staying
with him by furnishing apartments to
their liking. But the bee never sur-
renders her liberty nor her ccmplete
right of choice. If she Is not pleased
with the conditic the new house
offered her at time, she
promptly moves out and takes to tall
timber,

It is interesting to note, in this
connection, that the National Bu-
reau of Casualty and Surety Un-
derwriters has for some years been
pioneering the idea of teaching ac-
cident prevention in the schools,
knowing that a child who has been
taught the principles of safety will
be a more careful adult. That this
has been benefical is evidenc-
ed by statistics which show that the
accident rate for school children
has been improved in the face of
increases for the public at large.
THE FARM-TO-MARKET ROADS
Recently the Federal government
as part of its drouth relief program
in valious sections of the country,
advanced four months Federal road
money, with the request that work
be started as soon as possible so as
to relieve and give employment to
farmers in the damaged areas. The
American Farm Bureau Federation
is urging State Farm Bureau offic-
ials to cooperate in every manner
with state highway departments in
seeing that proper localities and in-
dividuals receive needed aid.
This will tide many families over
a slack period and prevent or alle-
work
viate much suffering. Every farm
and every community in the sec-
tions to which money has been ad-
vanced will benefit from stimulated
road construction. Long after the
drought has been forgotten, the
roads will be arteries of commerce,
bringing prosperity to a multitude
of farms.
Another encouraging announce-
ment came last month from the
| Department of Agiculture, which
stated that the counties of the Un-
ited States improved 45,481 miles
of local and county roads in 1929,
at a cost of more
000.
When a majority of farms are
served by water-proof surfaced,
year-round farm-to-market highways
we will have taken a long step to-
ward the solution of agricultural
problems.
