FIRE CHIEF GIVES HINT T0 GITIZENS Mulvihill Tells Purpose of Fire Prevention Week “Each year, by presidential proc- Jamation, our country observes wh is ’known as Fire Prevention Week and this is the week,” said Fire Chief V. W. Mulvihill today. “The purpose of the week is to remind the public of the huge a nual toll in lives and property th is taken by fire. During Fire Pr vention Week there is a nation- wide campaign to eliminate fire ha- zards and to prevent fires. “This community will be no ex- ception. The Chief and his men re- quest that the citizens take certain stgps to protect themselves during the coming winter. “One of the cMef causes of fires,” says Chief Mulvihill “is the accumulated trash and old paper in basements and at- tics. A clean building seldom burns. We hope that everyone will clean out all rubbish that has been piling up, both inside and out of doors.” Another major fire cause is im- proper electric wiring and the use of defective electrical equipment Al} fires that start because of these conditions are preventable. The fire départment has expressed its wil- lipgness to give suggestions on eliminating the electrical hazard to any citizens who wish to make their property more safe Heating appliances should also be gone over before cold weather sels in. Many stoves and furnaces and their chimneys deteriorate dur- ing the summer conths. Then when they are put into use, they start fires. Have your heating system inspected by an expert before you use it. “Our men will pe glad to make an inspection of any building for fire hazards,’ the Chief says. “They are naturally well fitted to detect, dangerous conditions and to suggest remedies, because preventing fire is one of our duties, just as much as fighting fire.” ‘According to statistics ;more than half of all fires in this country are preventable. The damage they do results in a totally needless loss of money that benefits no one. If we can reduce our community loss py “fighting fires before they start,” we save that much in community wealth in addition we are pro- tecting our lives and those of our neighbors. As Chief Mulvihill says, “Let’s cooperate, and make Fire Prevention Week a success.” Sure- Jy there is no loss in making our town safer. - WOMEN’'S MISSIONARY SOCIETY IS TO MEET ON THUSDAY EVEN G ‘The Womens' Missionary Society of the First Presbyterian Church will hold a meeting Thursday even- ing at 7:30 o'clock in the Church pdrlors, under the auspices of the Rev.
