Comedian Don Knotts takes time out from being funny as the
deputy sheriff on CBS-TV’s Andy Griffith Show to help Ronnie
Howard bone up on his duties as a Junior Fire Marshal for
National Fire Prevention Week (October 7-13). Ronnie, who
plays Andy Griffith’s son Opie in the TV comedy series, is one
of millions of boys and girls who will qualify as Junior Fire
Marshals by inspecting their homes for fire hazards. The Junior
Fire Marshal program is sponsored by The Hartford Insurance
Group in schools across the nation as a year-round public
service.
Prevention of Fire Stressed
Fire prevention week is Octo
ber 7 through 14. If you haven’t
already made your residence as
fire proof as possible now is the
tim? to start. Be sure your stove
or furnace is in good working or
der; your chimney is free from
soot; the garage is not cluttered
with old boxes of trash, greasy
rags, etc; the house and attic are
free from collections of old maga
zines, newspapers, oily dust mops
or rags not stored in the proper
containers. Now is also the time to
impress on the children how im
portant it is not to play with
matches or bother with fuse boxes,
if they are old enough to get into
them. It can’t be stressed too
much to a small child how dan
gerous a fire can be.
This might be a wonderful world
with millions of nice people if
men and women would mind their
own business.
