Dear Parents: Thanks to Campbell's Labels for Education Program, our school can obtain much-needed educational equipment free of charge, but we need your help. The Program, sponsored by Campbell Soup Company, is actually quite simple. Between October 1, 1993,and March l,1994,our students will be collecting labels from over 1,000 Campbell made products. Our goal is to collect 2,000 labels during this program. This year we're working toward ' obtaining playground equipment. ' Because so many families use Campbell products, we're asking everyone to help by saving the labels. We've provided a detailed "What to save" with this letter. Please post the list on your refrigerator and start to save labels and other proofs of purchase today. You may give them to students or drop them off at the school during regular school hours. Please join us in this worthwhile effort. Campbell's Labels for Education Program has been helping schools like ours for over 20 years. In these times of tight budgets, the Program has proven itself an invaluable aid to education by helping to provide the educational "extras" that so enhance each child's learning experience. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation. P.S.Don'tforgetto post the "What to save" chart in your home. On the refrigerator or over the recycling bin are two excellent places.

What's wrong with American attitudes about fire? The number of community members taking advantage of the Adult Learning Center to work toward their CED diploma has been impressive both during the fall and again this term. Classes are taking place in the Education Building daily. Give blood Thursday, Feb. 17 Residents of Jefferson County are encouraged to regularly give blood, especially during the winter months. While patient blood needs increase .. during the winter, donations usually . decreased because donors are ill or , enjoying the holiday. . . , . Each day in the Northwest, the Red Cross must collect 540 units of blood to meet patient needs. The next American Red Cross Bloodmobile visit to Jefferson County will be on Thursday, February 1 0. The blood drive will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. at the United Methodist Church in Madras. The church is located across the street from Mountain View Hospital and Nursing Home. Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh a minimum of 105 pounds and be in good general health. For more information call Penny Huggins Blood Drive Chairperson at 475-7437. A man downs a six pack of beer, gets in his car and while driving home, swerves into an oncoming vehicle, killing the passengers. The man is arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and driving while intoxicated. The same man allows his home wiring circuits to overload and the batteries in his smoke detector to wear out A fire burns his house down, killing his children. He is flooded with neighborly kindness, and no legal action is taken against him. How different are these two cases? In both, an individual is grossly negligent When negligence on the road leads to death, he is arrested. When the same thing happens at home, he receives an outpouring of sympathy. Something is wrong with American attitudes about fire. And it's costing us dearly. Annually, an estimated 5.800 people die in fires; another 30,000 are injured. The total cost to the American public for this damage is estimated at $50 billion annually. And yet our nation's fire departments, with their state-of-the-art equipment, are among the world's fastest But for all of that, our fire death rate is worse than in Western Europe and Asia. Indeed, with a population twice the size of Japan's, we have 40 times as many fires. So what's the problem here? The answer can be summed in one word: Education. We may be doing a decent job of teaching our children how to prevent fires, but we haven't gotten the message to the adult population where it counts the most Fire departments, fire safety educators, and concerned citizens need to change society's apathy toward fire safety. We need to get the message out about how to safeguard our homes against fire and how, if fire strikes, we can get our families out alive. Fire safety is a life and death matter. It's something people need to acton. If you' ve been meaning to get fresh batteries for your smoke detector, do it today. If you're still smoking in bed, the odds are that one day you'll fall asleep. Additionally, the combined use of smoke detectors and residential sprinklers can reduce the risk of fire deaths by almost 75. Where your life or the lives of others are at stake, it's a crime to just do nothing. Submitted by Fireman Bob. Death due to fire rose in 1 993 Fire Deaths: 1993 Oregon fire deaths rose to 62 reported fatalities, the highest since 1981, according to preliminary reports from the Office of State Fire Marshal's data unit Fifty-two reported deaths were in residential fires and two in vehicle fires. The additional eight deaths were reported in other structures and outdoor fires. Of the 62 deaths, 18 were children and teenagers; 23 were between the ages of 2 1 to 50; and 20 were over the age of 50. Whether he deadly fires were started from children playing with matches and lighters, heating equipment, wood stoves and fireplaces, or cigarettes, the deaths may have been prevented. All Oregon citizens also need to install and maintain working smoke detectors on each level of their homes and in each sleeping area to give them an early warning if a fire occurs. In addition, everyone should plan and practice an emergency home fire escape route. The plan needs to include two ways out of every room and an outside meeting place away from the house. Windows need to be checked to make sure they can easily be opened from the inside, and all exit ways must be clear.
