Children "follow the reading trail"
The Pahrump Community Library began its annual sum-
mer reading program for children on Monday, June 16. This
year, the program is entitled, "Westward Ho!! Follow the
Reading Trail." Pahrump chil-
l
dren, 3-15 years of age, will
come to the library once a week
for eight weeks to participate in
the free program where they
will hear western pioneer
themed stories appropriate for
their respective ages.
Participants also must read
for 12 hours during the course
of the eight weeks and write a
book report (younger children
may draw a picture). Children who complete program re-
quirements are entered in a drawing for a grand prize to be
announced later. All participants receive a free book and book
bag.
The program is intended to encourage young children and
teens to read in a non-academic setting and to introduce the
library as a resource for pleasure reading.
For the fourth consecutive year, Preferred Equities Corpo-
,, ration (PEC) will sponsor the
• reading program. In addition to
PEC's annual donation of
books, arts and crafts and re-
corded books, this year thecom-
pany has committed to improv-
ing the quality of the program
by purchasing a mici-ophone,
speakers and an amplifier for
the library.
, Beginning on June 16, 3 to
4-year-olds meet from 1 p.m. to
2 p.m. On June 18, 7 to 8-year-olds will meet from 11 a.m. to
noon, and 9 to 1 l-year-olds will meet from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Twelve to 15-year-olds will meet on June 19 from 1 p.m. to
2p.m.
For more information, contact the library at 702-727-
5930.

Why do homes with smoke detectors
report far less fires than home without?
"Smoke detectors discover some fires so early Ihat Itey
can be controlled by the occupants without involving
the fire department. The more significant factor is the
"rnpact of the smoke detectors in detecting fires early so
that people are able to control them."
(National Fire Protection Association - NFPA Journal -
October 1994)
The Fact is...
Most deadly fires occur in the home:
*76% of all structures fires are Residential ( 13 Million a
year)
*80% of all F Deaths (mostly children) occurred in
the home (4,000 annually)
*$4,843,000,000.00 (almost $5 Billion) in residerCdaP
damage is suffered annually
*99% of residential fires (non-arson} start when people
are home
*83% of all fires start between 7 am and 10 pm
Who...
Puts Out 13 Million residential Rres Each Year?
*Woman put out 50% of all house fires
*Men extinguish 30% of all house fires
*Children, Neighbors and passers-by put out 12"/o
*Fire Departments extinguish 8%
HOW, i.
can you protect your fmily and home when:
*In 4 minutes a fire can engulf a home
*in 2 to 5 minutss a mobile home can bumto the ground.
