to Effort to Reduce Fire
Losses of Nation
SCHOOLS WILL BE AID
Lessons of Fire Prevention to
Be Taught in School Rooms
of the City During
the Week
The week from October 7 to 13 has
been set asidu by orrtriul proclama
tion of Governor l'lerco, as the an
nual fire prevention week and all ov
er the state plans are being made to
bring about conditions which will
lower the fire hazzard and loss.
Locally the fire department is to
do ever) thing possible to aid In tbe
observance of the special week. The
lessons of fire prevention will be
taken up la all of the schools of the
city, where It is believed that the
most lasting remits are obtainable, by
a systematic course ot instruction.
Textbooks have been procured and
will be placed in each school room.
Theatres will run slides, tulks will be
given before clubs and at various gath
erings and during the week the topic
will be kept beture the people of the
city in many ways.
The official proclamation issued by
Governor l'lerce follows:
"It is the duty or every citizen of
Oregon to bear bis fair share in the
common effort to preserve and uplift
the great state ot which we are all a
part. Each and every one of us are di
rectly affected by the present and fu
ture of our natural resources, our In
stitutions, and our commonwealth.
In order that we may reap the utmost
benefits from our resources and that
those resources continue to Increase
in volume and value It ia necessary
that we pause to view the tremendous
waste of our assets and loss of life
through fire and to pledge ourselves
anew to use every effort to prevent
fire loBses.
The records of Oregon show the de
struction last year of over 9,0o0.000
in vroperty, besides tbe loss of 19
lives, 13 of whom were children and
nine of them under the age of ten
years.
"Fire waste is becoming a Berious
menace to our nation. Only by arous
ing the public u the appalling situa
tion and securing the co-operation of
all the people can we hope to reduce
this needless loss.
"In furtherance of this thought, add
pursuant to the general practice
throughout the United States, 1, Wal
ter M. Fierce, governor of the stale
of Oregon, do hereby proclaim the
week beginning Sunday, October 7,
and ending Saturday, October 13, as
Fire Frevention Week and urgently
requtat that appropriate exercises be
held in the schools and churches. Al
so, that all the civic and municipal of
ricials prepare- programs that will
help to educate the peoplo as to tho
necessity or rire prevention."

BuIcK FourJVhcel Brakes
Bulck four-wheel brslces not only double the
braking efficiency of the new 1924 Buicks by
doubling tho braking surface, but for the
same rtsfon lessen the wear on each brake
mtchamim In proportion. Buick four-wheel
brakes lent longer. They require leis adjuit
nent and the linings do not wear down
as quickly.
Simple In construction and positive In action;
Buick four-wheel brakes give added safety
under all circumstances. They aie of the
Buick eitetnal contracting type and each
brake hn a three-quarter wrap or grip in
stead of the uiual half-way grip.
Bulck four-wheel brakes are operated with
a flight pressure on the service brake pedaL
They act quickly, smoothly and easily.
All 1934 Buicks (both fours and tlsesi hav
these new four-wheel brakes. In addition,
the 1924 Buicks embody further advance
ments in power, in construction and in beauty
that make Buick more than ever "the
