Round-Up and Roll Call
During the first two weeks in October a for-
mal meeting should be devoted to the National
Round-Up and Roll Call. Troop Crews will partici-
pate in their Troops. In Explorer Units, since every-
one will be "slicked up" for inspection, you might
as well have a party.
Demonstrate Fire Prevention
October has become fire prevention month
throughout the nation. Explorers not only should
but can do something about the ever lurking danger
of fire. This is an opportunity to practice good con-
servation and good citizenship.
Your Explorers can do what one Ship did —
stage a 12-minute presentation in a high school
assembly. In fact they did so well that they gave
"command performances" in other schools.
They demonstrated home fire hazards and their
correction. The setting and "props" were home-
made. A few of the demonstrations were as follows:
Lighting matches from match book with book
open and closed. Storing rubbish in basement and
removing it. Throwing oily rags in corner and put-
ting them in airtight container. Replacing blown
fuse with penny and with new fuse.
An Explorer Post interested the fire department
in putting on an exhibition of fire fighting methods.
On the scheduled evening a half dozen railroad
flares were lighted on the roof of the high school
building. An Explorer turned in an alarm at the
nearby call box, with an explanation of how he was
doing it announced over an amplifier. The fire
trucks arrived, and the firemen gave their demon-
stration. Explorers, firemen, and the public were
so pleased with the results that they're planning
to do it again this fall — with the help of more
police to hold the crowds back.
