UPl)-Two thousand children die in home fires in the United States every year and the five Hendrich kids might have been among them if it hadn't been for father.

He yelled "fire!" The entire family cleared the home within two minutes of the alarm. Three minutes later, when Hendrich rushed to the burning room with a fire extin guisher, he could not get near it because of the heat. The fire department arrived minutes later, but the room and other sections of the home were extensively damaged. If the children had not acted swiftly, "within another three or four minutes they probably would have suffocated," Hen rich said. "It's so easy for a child to panic if he doesn't know what to do. They really saved them selves," he said. Hendrich, who is divisional sales representative for News paper Enterprise Association, said no member of the family had ever been involved in a fire before. The National Safety Council in Chicago took a direct inter est in the Hcndnchs fire.

Hans Grigo, technical consult ant for the home department of the safety council, said children under 15 are slow to think of escape methods in emergen' cics. "That is why we feel home fire drill is extremely lmpor. tant," he said. The Hendrich children learned in their drills various methods of escape to meet al most any fire emergency. They practiced tliem in regular and surprise drills. "We have a discussion, if not a fire drill once a month," Hendrich said. "We tell the children that the first thing to do is to shout 'fire,' then, if they can get around the flames, to proceed downstairs." ' If there is a wall of fire, the children were told not to try to cross through it, but to stand at the window and wait. If the fire is approaching and door.

V': Sunday, October 20, 1963 For Five Averted they can't wait, Hendrich told the youngsters to break the windows with a chair, a shoe or any other object, and wait until rescuers put a ladder up to the window. "We reassure them that someone will be there quickly to help," he said. The children were not fright ened when the real fire came, Hendrich said. The safety council's Grigo commented: "Make the children face the situation intelligently and offer them solutions to any situations they are likely to get into. "By the time a fire has start ed it's usually too late, espe cially for a child, to think of al ternatives of action. If they have had prior training in how to react, they can cope well."

With Border Incidents Widen By HENRY SHAPIRO United Press International MOSCOW (UPI) - The erup tion of incidents reported along the almost 5.000 -mile Soviet Chinese border has given a new dimension to the massive Sino Soviet conflict which has already shattered the monolithic struc ture of the Communist camp and virtually divided it into two rival blocs. The crowning evidence of the New Ideas Proposed To Ease Traffic Ties NEW YORK (UPI) - Dram atic proposals to break the na tional traffic bottleneck are ex pected to emerge when Con gress enacts the mass transit bill to help free the country's cities from creeping paralysis. These proposals, according to Steelways, official publican of American Iron and Steel Insti tute include: Wheelless vehicles that slide on a film of air a fraction of an inch above a special rail. A rented, motorized con traption that can travel auto matically over private trackage and convert to driver propul sion along city streets.

Making her third visit to her son, Hugh Redmond, since he was sentenced to life imprison ment on espionage charges in 1951, Mrs. Redmond was es corted to the border by British officials. She anticipates spending Hugh's 43rd birthday with him, and took along homemade cook ies, candy, socks, shirts, and a new pair of shoes. Mrs. Redmond, 66. has ap pealed to Premier Chou En-lai for her son's release without success. There is no reason to expect a surprise release at this time, she realizes. "But there is nothing that says I can't hope," she said.

The magazine said these pro posals have been stimulated by studies which show that 120 million automobiles would be on the nation's highways by 1980, compared with 66 million today. The studies also show that 190 million of the population of about 250 million expected by 1980 will live on approximately 2 per cent of the land. An es timated 140 million of the 190 million persons will reside with in urban complexes with will have to cope with 32 mil lion more commuters than at present. Steelways said the specialists employed to untie traffic knots and get people in and out of town with comfort, safety and speed regard rapid transit as a major part of the answer. Such a solution indicates expansion of steel's markets, especially for the stainless and high strength, low alloy steels wide ly used in commuter trains, the magazine said. Winterizing Of House Important Too . By MR. FIX Newspaper Enterprise Assn. After you've put anti-freeze in your car, you're ready for win ter in that respect. But what about your house: Aside from the usual work of getting your house ready for cold weather putting up storm windows and weather-stripping how ready are you for the first snowfall or the first freeze? It's time to take care of the little things, which, if forgotten can be annoying later on. Of course, how many little things there are to take care of depends a great deal on your locale. However, the following should take care of your needs regardless of where you live. Snow Weather Put your snow shovel where you can find it. Keep it in the house or have an extra one there so that you can clear your way out. Don't wail for ice to form be fore putting in a supply of rock salt. Keep a supply in both house and garage.

The Russian-Chinese border, the longest in the world, is di vided into two parts. The east ern half of the frontier sepa rates the Soviet Siberian far east from Manchuria and the west segment divides Sinkiang from Soviet Central Asia. In the middle is the huge "buffer" border state of Mon golia,, whose existence was legally recognized by Peking and which appears to be Mos cow's faithful ally. As far back as 1954 when Sino-Soviet relations were still in their honeymoon stage the Chinese published a map of their 1840 frontiers which, they claimed, extended beyond the Amur River Valley and east ward to cover the whole Siberian Pacific Coast including the great port of Vladivostok, the maritime province and Sak halin Island. The same map included in the Chinese empire large areas (about half a million square miles) of present Soviet Central Asia including the capital citiesf of Tashkent (Uzekistan), Frunze (Kirghizia) and Alma Ata Ka zakhstan). Won't Recognize Treaties Following a pause of nine years Peking this year, in an official declaration, said that it would not recognize the "un equal treaties" of the last three centuries under which the im perialist powers carved up the crumbling and helpless Chinese empire. The Soviet Union, as the suc cessor of czarist Russia, was held to be the legatee of czarist imperialism. But the Soviets don't accept that argument and have told the Chinese that ref erence to historical claims "would be embarking on an ex tremely dangerous path." It is not ideology alone that bears the seed of conflict be tween the Soviet Union and China. Geopolitical factors, differ ence in tradition, race, stages of economic development, the up surge of nationalist sentiments and the revival of old national rivalries all spell increasing trouble between the erstwhile comrades. Hints Noted On Colors CHICAGO (UPI) - Bold color arrangements are satisfying for public places or if a homemak- cr is in a financial position to redecorate frequently. But most decorators recommend a non theatrical color scheme for dav- 1 to-day living. Borrowing from the Japanese style of complex, but natural use of color, they strive for a blend of beautiful colors into eye-pleasing harmony. The keynote of this trend is that color schemes should be un demanding and yet interesting. touches of dramatic color, how ever, are necessary and can be supplied by accessories, paint ings, and plants. The subdued, carefully decorat ed home docs not imply dull ness. The basis of the Japanese idea is to copy nature's way with colors, and they believe na ture is never dull. Following the natural color trend, color is always shaded, never even, and it never matches. There are constant variations on the same basic shade. Surfaces are patterned and textured, nev er flat; patterns are not repeat ed, but are of endless variety. And most important, most natural colors are quiet and undemand ing. In a total landscape, the vi brant, bright colors are a small part of the overall scene. Wall and floor coverines of small contrasting patterns and textures can be complemented with furniture upholstery that is variation ot the basic shade. A room can be done in soft browns and greys that blend into delicate beiges and pastel orang es. Or in tones of blue with touches of ice yellow. small tlower patterns, stripes. embossed and textured fabrics, grained wood finishes all add interest to furnishings. Ana wnen you add the finish ing touches of vibrant color, do it with a bold, unafraid eye and hand. A set of canary yellow lacquer bowls, a collection of shining coral and blue ceramics. or a multi-colored abstract paint ing last a long time without get ting tiresome.
