FREEDOM IS DECLARED
To really know America and
what it's made of, we need fre-
quently to take a refresher
course in American history. Be-
fore any citizen approves any
measure shifting responsibility
and political and economic pow-
er from the hands of the citizen-
ry to the hands of government
bureaucracy, he should be re-
minded especially of the pur-
poses of our great founding doc
master of the people of the new
world. Patrick Henry, Jefferson,
of the oppressed people spoke
out. The flame of freedom gath-
ered in intensity. One after an-
other, incidents flared. British
soldiers were sent in and began
to march threateningly about
the countryside. In 1775 the
fighting began—at Concord,
Massachusetts.
The Cause
In the midst of war, the lead'
uments and the conditions outj crs of the embattled colonies

first Continental Congress. They
appointed a committee of five to
draft a declaration of indepen-
dence. The committee asked

Texas Farm Bureau Ends Fiscal
Year With Largest Membership
The Texas Farm Bureau end-
ed its fiscal year Nov. 30 with
the largest membership in its
hisotry—53,195 farm families.
Several hundred memberships
which came in after the deadline
will be counted toward next
year's quota.
The figure entitles Texas to
send five voting delegates to the
American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion national convention Dec. 14-
17 in Chicago. Delegates this
year are: President J. Walter
Hammond of Tye, Vice-President
C. H. DeVaney of Coahoma, and
state directors, Edwin Sanderson
of Paris, S. W. McClaren of
Cameron and Howard Wright of
Weslaco. Hammond is also a
member of the AFBF Resolu-
tions Committee.
This year's membership re-
cord figure represents a gain of
4,545 members over last year
when 48,650 members were en-
rolled at the end of the fiscal
year. Ten years ago there were
only 8,468 members in the organ-
ization. Membership fees doub-
led since then, but the organiza-
tion has shown a steady increase
in members and influence.

FIRE HAZARD
Quif
Q—What is the principal cause
of fire in the United States?
A—Carelessness with matches
and smoking accounted for almost
one-sixth of the total number of
building fires in 1952.
Q—How often should chimneys
be cleaned?
A—Every year. A professional
chimney sweep is recommended,
but if you can get up on the roof
safely, a good job can be done by
wrapping a couple of bricks in
burlap and lowering and raising
it in the chimney with a rope.
Q—How many of the 12,535
people killed in fire last year were
children?
A—One-third, about 4000 chil-
dren less than 14 years of age.
Here are three steps that will re-
duce this loss. First, provide ade-
quate supervision at all times.
Second, teach fire safety by prac-
ticing fire-safe habits. Children
will copy the actions of parents.
Third, keep matches out of reach
of small children.
Q—Is the observance of Fire
Prevention Week worthwhile in
view of the continuing increase in
fire losses?
A—Yes. The fire loss is high but
it has not kept pace with popula-
tion growth, the millions of new
homes and other buildings, and
the inflation in property values.
The NFPA also is encouraged by
facts like this: In 1939, there were
79,500 roof fires. In 1952. there
were about 16,000 roof fires, a
drop of 80 percent, largely due to
NFPA's continuing fight on flam-
mable roofing.

1. Fruit cakes may lie decor-
ated by placing a few extra
pieces of fruit or nuts on the
top, either scattered or in a set
design. Add decorations when
the cake has almost finished
cooking because fruits and nuts
tend to discolor in the oven,
2. After the cakd is removed
from the oven, cool thoroughly
in the paper in which it was bak-
ed. Then wrap in a second layer
of waxed paper and tie witli
