An important step in preventing home fires is to ask your firedepart(nent to inspect your property and recommend specific fire prevention measures. Then follow their advice, Know your fire department's phone number, so tfiat you may call quickly in an emergency. Ask the fire department to make a pre-fire survey of your property, so they will know where it is and what they will be dealing with in case of fire. Fire is the deadliest killer in the home. More people, age 1 to 64, die from fires and burns than from any other home accident cause.

More than 1,500 American homes will be struck by fire today, and every day; fire which causes nearly $l-million in property damage daily, as well as taking it's tolHn suffering and sorrow. Estimates by the National Fire Protection Association show that fire killed 11,800 Americans in 1963.

He stated, 'We are inroe dark' about this matter. A request was then made for a background paper on the proposed movement of people from Red China. This request has npt been met." (, Representative Feighan has asked Schwartz and George L. Warren, his refugee aide, to produce all cables from the U.S. Consul General's office in Hong, Kong dealing with the refugee operation.

The request was based on Feighan's knowledge from reliable government sources that such cables do exist and are in the State Department files.

Perhaps we can test the advice these men have given us byfasking some questions. Was it our participation in an arms race which got us into World Wars I or II? Would York and Wiener have advised President Lincoln that the Union could be by disarmament? Would our disarmament have stopped Hitler? If an anti-ICBM defense can destroy 50 -of enemy warheads, does not such "a system decrease the chance the enemy will launch his missiles? Russia evidently disagrees with these scientists, as she is deploying a considerable anti-ICBM defense.

The congressional probers sitions: Weapons cause wars, our. weapons as well as the enemy's. We cannot devise a defense which will protect us against all enemy ICBM nuclear warheads, therefore any defense against them is useless. Defense shelters cannot save all our people, therefore none should be provided our civil defense program is a waste of money.

The further test of nuclear weapons is of doubtful value. The best hope for our secur if they promised to disarm? Did not our last experiment in unilateral disarmament result in the tragedy of Korea? Kofi tan nuclear, weapons be kepr modern and effective deterrents without continual development and test? No successful weapon has ever been developed without expensive tests. We have had rifles in our) arsenal since Bunker Hill, yet we are today spending millions to test a new rifle. Does it make sense to test the more conventional and less complicated weapons like guns, ships and airplanes, and propose no test for new and untried, nu- clear weapons? I believe York and Wiesner have confirmed the danger of giving scientists the prime voice in weapons selection and in determination of tactics and strategy, I believe-thaLitJsour mili- tary strength and our demon- strated determination to use it which has kept our borders and those of our Western Allies inviolate for more than a decade. Without such strength and determination Russian offensive missiles would still be in Cuba I believe that we should continue every possible search of all avenues toward peace negotiation, and be ever alert to any change in the-international situation "which will permit reasonable reduction of the heavy arms burden.

I believe, in the meantime, that we must maintain a superior military strength, and that civil defense is a vital element of a credible defense posture. Fables, sometimes paradoxically, seem to have greater tenacity 6f life than truth. Not just those like what Aesop and allegorical authors have conjured but many that have originated, without purpose or moral, merely in overactive imaginations. Take for example the "Conser Monster," which was thoroughly exposed as a hoax but which has come to light, again just 'because some mystery-loving writer refuses to give up The non-existent Conser Monster is the subject of a letter received only this week by the Albany Chamber of Commerce from one Mike Davis of Charlotts-grille, Va. Davis wrote "I have been reading a book by Ivan T.

Sanderson. In it he gives the following statement from Fate magazine: Ore. The monster of Conser Lake is still on the loose. The creature reportedly stands on two webbed feet, is seven to eight feet high and PHELPS HELPS ity lies in. disarmament.

The big mystery is whom he visited or contacted in New York during a stopover Aug. 26-28, 1962, before continuing on to Peru to "attend to Significantly, Jakober went 1.200 miles out of his way to make the brief New "York visit.

Also, on his return he spent Sept. 5 in New York, to Immigration spotters. Legislators probing Jakober's operations are amazed by the1 amount of information he has on the bank holdings of U.S. citizens whose relatives are behind the Iron Curtain. His figures are so accurate that the congressional probers believe he could only have obtained them from someone on the inside either bank officials or law firms' working with the ring, whose members include bank directors.

The international refugee" "shakedown" was uncovered ago. The "Conser Monster" caused no little excitement in some circles for a few days, until it was determined to be pure fabrication by some 'teenagers, publicized by gullible parents. Doubt arose at the start because no residents of the Conser Lake arealhree miles north of the Albany city 'limits had ever seen the apparition visible only to the three or four youngsters who chanced to be lurking at the lake one dark night. State police and sheriff 'deputies who investigated came to the conclusion that the wild story grew out of an effort by owners of an illicit liquor on the lake bank to frighten the' young interlopers away so they would hpt stumble Onto the liquor.

"Money," the big shot had said, "Won't buy you health, or happiness, or affection, or prestige, or fame, or security. CONFEDERATE, MONEY, that is My friend agreed and expressed his dislike for the theme that poverty is holy. In his opinion, ne said, it showed poor taste to knock money unless you had tried It.

"Get the money first," he said, "and then bad mouth it, if you still-feel that way." I wondered, aloud, about money being i curse and an abomination; where this idea-had, started and why it had remained so long unchallenged in our mores. Or words to that effect. He thought it was because so many Tien people are visibly and demonstrably unhappy, dissatisfied and unfulfilled. People, he claimed, thoughtlessly associated the apparent unhap-v piness of the wealthy with their wealth. "The truth is," he said, "they pier if they had their money taken away from them."

The way I figure, it is the AMOUNT -what we physicists call the critical mass of money a man has that determines his comfort or discomfort. Personally, all I want is enough to cover my expenses.
