We | " THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA GIVE WARNING ON PREVENTION OF HOUSE FIRES The monthly meeting of the Ju- neau Volunteer Fire ,Department was held Thursday night at Fire- inwn's Club. Ed Garnick of the Territorial Department of Labor exhibited two rolls of films on public safety and presented each member a copy of the Territory of Alaska General Safety Code. Colored slides of scenes taken by Albert Shaw and LeRoy West of the recent Juneau Spruce fire were enthusiastically received. The pic- tures were all outstanding. In view of the 20 calls received during December, the following suggestions are made to the putlic: The next three months are the most dangerous of the year for home fires, Fire Chief Mill warns. According to figures of the Na- tional Board of Fire Underwriters, more fires occur in December, Jan- uary, and February than at any |0thr season, chiefly because of i heating hazards. During these cold months furnaces, heaters and; stoves are likely to be overworked and may not be adequately cleaned and repaired. Now is the time to protect your home against winter fires, Chief Mill pointed out, before any real trouble has a chance to start. In- Ispecl your chimneys and flues where many of the home fires break !out. They should be cleaned and all cracks and holes where heat or sparks may escape repaired. DON'T FUnruls FURNACES The chief said he especially wanted to warn householders never to “force” furnaces and heaters if they aren’'t giving enough heat. There may be something mechani- cally wrong with the heating equipment, he said, or it may need cleaning, but forcing or overload- ing a furnace may cause a fire. | Be sure combusticle rubbish, newspapers and old ‘magazines aren’t allowed to collect around the furnace, or any other heating de- vice. One-third of all home fires start in the cellar, so keep it as clean from combustible material as possible. ! RULES FOR SAFETY A few other rules for winter fire safety at home are: | i 1. Place portable heaters where I(hey won't be knocked over easily. See that they aren't placed against woodwork, curtains, beds, or chairs. 2. If you're having difficulty starting a fire in a stove or furnace, ;use several sheets of newspaper I twisted together. But never throw kerosene or gasoline into a stove | to “quicken” a fire. Kerosene, when | heated, can explode almost as viol- | ently as gasoline, setting fire to the house. 3. Don’t overload electric circuits by plugging in too many heaters on one circuit. Inspect your electric {cords. If any are frayed, have them replaced. 4. Keep a metal screen in front of the fireplace so that sparks won't pop onto clothes, furniture or rugs. ! To conclude the meeting, Truck | Drivers Sorenson and O'Brien and | Fireman Heinke presided over the refreshments and a delicious baked ham lunch. CITY COUNCIL TO MEET | AT 8 0'CLOCK TONIGHT A date will be set at the City| Council meeting tonight at 8| o'clock in the City Hall for the spe-| ]cial election at which annexation | to the city of the Highlands will be | decided upon.

Union Hall w TUESDAY — JAN. 10, 1950 PAGE THREE [0 ENTURY LAST TIMES TONITE DRAMATIC STORY AT 20TH CENTURY "THE ACCUSED" IS | | One of the most exciting woman- hunts ever participated in by a movie audience was unrecled yes- terday at the 20th Century Theatre when Paramount’s new Hal Wallis suspense drama, “The Accused,” be- gan its two-day run. With Academy Award winner Loretta Young and popular Robert Cummings, “The Accused” is a thrilling story of a woman hunt. Miss Young gives a magnificent performance, first, as the inhibited teacher who is driven to murder by clemental passions too long ig- nored; then, as the glamorous, harming woman of the world she ecomes in order to escape detec- | fon As the latter she wins the love of the two men who have spear- headed the hunt—Cummings, who plays a lawyer and guardian ot the victim; Wendell Corey, as a .annot sidetrack from duty. With the hunt closing in on her, Miss Young’s tension — and the audlence’s—reaches terrific propor- tions. Cummings, when he realizes he is “The Accused,” talks her into marrying him' and leaving town, ;ut Corey has them brought to his office, where, in a highly dramatic and emotion-charged scene, Loretta loses her last vestige of self-control. What happens when Cummings takes her case, adds even more drama and excitement to a picture already amply provided with those desirable entertainment ingredients.
