10-ik Oldal 1940 Junius 13. HAVE A SAFE SUMMER Summer isn’t far away. And the coming of the plea­sant season means, to most of us, vacations, adventures in the out-of-doors, work about the house and garden, and a generally happy and healthful time. We can do much to assure happiness and healthful­­mess by doing our part to fight summer fire hazards this year. Each change of season brings new dangers. Uncut dry grass in a vacant lot, combined with a care­lessly disposed of cigar butt, may mark the starting point of a holocaust that will des­troy lives and property. And a vacationist’s carelessness with a campfire may result in the razing of thousands of acres of magnificent tim­­berland which Nature spent centuries in creating. Every town should adopt a “clean-up” campaign dur­ing the summer months. Old shacks, prime breeding places of fire, should be razed. Garages and homes should be painted. And the utmost care should be taken with any and all flammable materials. There’s one more little task that every householder should perform in summer, in the interest of comfort m well as safety. That is to put the heating plant in­to prime condition before next winter brings its de­mands for warmth. Don’t trust heating plant repairs to yourself or another ama­teur. Have them done by an expert, who knows his job— the money spent may pay tremendous dividends. Have a good time this summer. And as one step toward that goal, keep the dangers of fire everlastingly in mind.--------------O-------------­REFUGEES More than 10,000 Polish refugee children are being cared for in children’s camps in Hungary, Rumania, Li­thuania, Yugoslavia, and Latvia, by the Save the Children International Union Geneva, it was announced by Dr. Frank Kingdom, chair­man of the International Child Service Committee of the Save the Children Fe­deration, One Madison Ave­nue, New York City. The Federation is the American member of the In­ternational Union, and is raising funds to provide food, shelter and clothing for the refugee children of Europe. The Hungarian Save the Children Federation has cabled the International Child Service Committee of the S. C. F. for funds to build shelters in Hungary to house 1,500 Polish refugee children. At the present time the children are living in the vacation camps of the poor children of Buda­pest. These camps will have to be vacated in the Spring if the poor children of Hun­gary are not to be deprived of that much needed vaca­tion. The camps located on Lake Balaton, Hungary have been loaned to the Polish refugees through the kind­ness and cooperation of the Hungarian people. It is estimated each shel­ter would cost about $6,000 and eight or nine shelters would be necessary. The children’s camps are being sponsored by the Save the Children International Union. At the present time one of these camps at Som­­lo-Szollos is being operated in cooperation with the Po­lish Boy Scouts. A gift from the Pope Pius XII has made possible homes for Polish Refugee girls in Budapest, Hungary. The home has been established in the Novicate of the convent of the Sisters of Charity in Budapest. •--------------O-------------­DO YOU KNOW that there are many Ma­gyar artists of the brush, pen and pencil, whose names rank with their foremost American collegues? The un­excelled Willy Pogány is just as much in demand in New York as in Hollywood, Kate Serédy, Maud and Mis­ka Petersham are top-notch illustrators of books for Verhovayak Lapja children, while Major, Gel­­lért and Roth are the best newspaper cartoonists at their creative field. Nicholas Haas is one of the day’s finest experts on color-photography, whose artistic stills adorn many a page of the leading Amer­ican periodicals.
