Common Fire Hazards “Good housekeeping is essential in department stores. Rubbish and litter should be burned in the furnace or frequently carted away from the premises. Waste paper and packing materials, including excelsior and hay, present obvious hazards and the shipping room and receiving room should re- ceive special attention. Supplies of wrapping paper, excelsior and the like may be stored in meltal} lined bins with automatically clos-| ing lids having counterweights, b “It is scarcely necessary to add that smoking should be strictly pro- hibited at all times in the shipping room. A safe procedure is to pro- hibit smoking throughout the prem- ises except in a special room ar- ranged for that purpose. “Paints and ‘paint rags are dang- erous, the latter being subject to spontaneous combustion because of their impregnation with linseed oil Cily cloths of all kinds should be kept in self-closing metal cans of approved types whieh should be emptied daily and their contents destroyed. Spontaneous combustion may be guarded against by proper housekeeping.” | oo — Many old-time seamen of the sail boat era scornfully refer to steel- plated steamers as “tin cans.” | CL PL By These In In In In In In AND FIx U g i T THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1935. n order! /" RENOVIZE roclamation UP-PAINT UP-FIX UP TUP-GIVE Fnow AN MHen, Women and Children Presents: THAT, Whereas the NATIONAL CLEAN UP, PAINT UP AND FIX UP CAMPAIGN has, resulted in many advantages to community life throughout the United States, Safeguarding HEALTH and SAFETY ; promoting EMPLOYMENT and THRIFT; furthering FIRE PREVENTION; promoting BETTER HOUSING; stimulating CIVIC PRIDE; and making the “HOME AND CITY BEAUTIFUL”; NOW, THEREFORE, Bc it; known that plans have been perfected fer a therough CLEAN UP, PAINT UP P CAMPAIGN in JUNEAU Beginning May. 6.
