Fire As A Servant
( Kiio Is nian's most useful, faithful seiTant. lie is n
I glutton for work and never tires. No day is too hot or
loo cold for him. No task is too hard. Call on Fhtj to do
li job mi( he does it one hundred percent. ' !
t i You elej; your horie, buiH "I Jtfl'i 'H fie, ,and
fof boards sawed by fire. It is heated by fire, lighted by
t fire. Your food is cooked by fire and the stove that con
tains it was made by fire.
'. Kire, controlled, is the great constructor,
i Hut Fire is a brainless fellow, headstrong, impetuous,
funreKtraiiifcd. lie can't think, and wouldn't if he could.
'He ejepects you to do the thinking for him. If you do,
pie will do your will. If you don't he may run all over
jthe county.
Fire, uncontrolled, is the great destroyer.
Fire builds the .skyscraper, even proof against itself.
Hut Fire levels the city. Fire serves his master, man, but
will serve him badly if permitted to run amuck.
When Fire is on a rampage men blame him, curse him.
Hut Fire never cuts loose on his own accord. Man, ashamed,
likes to pass the buck by calling him Spontaneous Combus
tion. Hut man piles up the oily waste that brings Fire
into being.
This is Fire Prevention Week. It might better' be
called Fire Control Week. This big job ahead ior all of
ns is to realize that what we need to do is to control
, fire. Only that will prevent fires.
In America we have the finest system of education in
- this world, and the most shameful record of destruction
" by flame. If we were savages, or a race of morons, there
might be some excuse for use. lint we hnvc the brain
to think for Fire, if we will only use it. That's all that
Fire asks us to do, to think a bit.
Tho demon statisticians will toll you that during the
lust half of the last decade, from 1016 to 102(1, destruc
tion by flame in the United States totalled $1,(572,722,677.
Ahd they will tell you that that would have built S:5 l.,rl()
dwellings costing S5.000 each, supplying homes for 1,672,
720 persons. Or it would have constructed 16,727 modern
$100,0011 school houses. Or it would have built 10 trans
continental highways from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Fire won't do our thinking for us.
