       "FIRE HURTS"
   Fire is -something that happens
to the other fellow, maybe, but
not to me.
  Do you dismiss fire and Its
destructive   potential in this
casual way? Far too many of us
do, yet statistics from the Nation-
al Fire Protection Association
show how wide of the mark is
this attitude.
  Look at the fire record in
homes: In the United States, more
than 600,000 homes and apart-
ments destroyed or damaged an-
nually, bringing death to 6,000
people. The greater part of these
fatalities are the defenseless
young and old.
  This very year, on the basis
of national averages, a home in
your general neighborhood will
be involved in fire, possible a
fatal one - and it could be yours.
  Consider what fire does to
industrial and commercial build-
ings each year: Over 171.000U.S.
plants, stores, offices and other
properties destroyed or damaged.
  This year, on the average, a
business operation in the area
where you work will be hit by
fire,  possibly  involving tem-
porary or longer-term loss of
employee earnings and jobs.
  Don't gamble that you can es-
cape the financial headaches or
family heartbreaks that fire in-
evitably brings. Make fire pre-
vention your business, too, at
home and on the job. Remember
fire hurts.


"CHILDREN LEFT ALONE"
  Don't rely on Lady Luck as
your babysitter.
  Every year, hundreds of child-
ren die in fires because they
were left at home without ababy-
sitter, or in care of an incom-
petent one.
  Whenever you are tempted to
leave children for a quick errand
or a neighbors cup of coffee,
resist the temptation.
  Lady Luck may favor youonce,
but the odds are against you.
      "THIS WAY OUT"
  What would you do if the smell
of smoke awoke you in the middle
of the night, while the family
was sound asleep?
   If you don't have a quick and
complete answer to that question,
it's cause for worry. People who
have failed   to prepare well-
thought-out and well-rehearsed
plans to meet such emergency
situations are risking the lives
of their loved ones and them-
selves.
   The first rule of safety from
fire is escape. It's important to
get everyone out of the house at
the very first sign of fire. This
means some advance thinking
and planning are necessary, be-
cause two routes to the outside
from every room are essential,
in case one is blocked.

"Phone-o-rama" CominQ To Wintersville


  "Phone-O-Rama", a unique combination exhibition and lecture-demonstration, using three screen
color animation will be coming to the Wintersville-Steubenville area October 1 and 2, Ohio Bell Com-
mercial manager Bob Daniel announced.
  The exhibit, dekling with the future of communications, will be held in Wintersville at the high school
auditorium Tuesday evening, and at the Steubenvllle high school auditorium on Wednesday. Doors open
at 7:00 both evenings, with the exhibitions and lecture-demonstrations to get underway promptly at 7:30.
Admission to the shows is free.
  A guest speaker from Ohio Bell's Cleveland headquarters, Ralph Riefenstahl, will discuss the future
of communications and demonstrate use of laser light beams for the transmission of phone calls. He
will use the laser beam to transmit his voice as he tells about the various applications to which it has
already been adapted, including eye surgery and industrial diamond cutting. The laser was developed by
the Bell Telephone laboratories.
  Other exhibition highlights include demonstrations of two other Bell labs developments--the still
experimental see-as-you-talk picturephone, complete with pushbuttons and television viewing screens,
and synthesized speech, a development that can make computers talk.
  Visitors to the "Phone-O-Rama" demonstrations will also be able to see and hear their telephone
voice and watch what happens as a direct distance dial call speeds across the country.
  Daniel urged students of the two schools and the general public to attend the demonstrations, the
first of their kind in the area.
