Put out your cigarette or cigar before you lie down for a nap. Failure to do so can bring tragedy to you and your family, the Amercan Insurance Association warns. All too frequently, people doze off while smoking in bed, or on a couch or sofa, and accidentally set fire to their premises. Before anyone is aware that something is burning, toxic gases produced by the fire may asphyxiate you and others asleep nearby, the Association points out. Hardly a day passes that tragedy in this manner doesn’t strike some family. All kinds of fires take a heavy toll of American lives each year: in I960 more than 12,000 persons lost their lives in fires, and more than 2,000 of these were children.
