FIRE PREVENTION WEEK President Roosevelt announces this weck that the nation's war program is menaced by an alarming increase in prc\'(‘nta‘blc fire lossse, Preventable fires are measured in thousands of workers killed and disabled; vast destruction of eritical | raw materials, food aud other vital supplies for our armed forces and civilian |‘70|)ulation: the ruin of plants producing war goods, factoriés, homes and machinery. Fires bring delays which cannot be regained in the production of airplanes, ships, tanks and guns— delays that will serve no other end than to hold back the day of Victory; delays that mean the lives of many of our men on the fighting fronts. The Boston night club fire was one of the worst catastrophes in the history of our country. Don't be careless. Half of the people in Juneau, at least, by taking a look around their homes or business properties can find ample evidence of fire hazards. Take every precaution you can to prevent fires at this time for two important reasons: Because fire is an ever-present threat and because during war, it is also helpful to the onbmy. This week has been set aside as Fire Prevention Week. To remind you that you must think of pre- venting fire every week, every day, every hour and second. Our Travelers Ahrmd (Cincinnati Enquirer) Fighting a global war, with an armed force of upward of seven million men sprawled across all of the earth’s continents, involves a tremendous amount of travel. Aerial and ocean transport is at a premium to move the men and materials. essential in the planning and prosecution of the war. But not all of the traveling about which we now are reading is essential, or even related to the war effort. We refer, with all due respect, to the current good,will, sightsecing, or whatever-it-is trip of the President’s wife to the Antipodes, and to the round- | the-world junket of a committee of Senators. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt's visit to New Zealand and other points in the Southwest Pacific may have some value to the morale of the various troops she sees and is photographed with—it is questionable, but we shall not debate it here. good will, although it had escaped our notice if our relations with our Pacific Allies were in conspicuous need of betterment. But even if both of these points were granted, tingujshed. from reasons—for the trip. We fear that the trip was dictated mainly by Mrs. Roosevelt's rather well-known love of travel, and for the momeny, it does not matter if she arranged to pay : her own_expenses out of her writing proceeds. The | fact remains—and to us it is the paramount fact—that | Mrs. Roosevelt’s jaunt is taking up transport facilities which could be put to much better use in the direct | prosecution of the war. The same applies to the senatorial junket now i progress. The committee of Senators (none of whom | is.really competent to judge military strategy by what he sees) is taking up one or moré bombers and aerial personnel that certainly could be put to better use.
