injuries were not serious. This
was attributed to the fact that
the huge seat section, with a

Heating Systems
Blamed for Most
Fires in Homes
Baby diapers and other cloth
ing hung up to dry beside an
overheated stove have a top prior
ity on tne list oi ways ot now to
burn down your house, Charles
R. Ross, O. S. C. extension for
ester, has learned from the state
fire marshal's office.
Rural or farm homes face the
greatest danger from fire, Ross
adds, since Immediate help from
tire departments or neighbors is
usually not close at hand when
the emregency arises. One way
or another, heating systems are
responsible for the majority of
home fire losses.
The state fire marshal states
the number of fatalities in home
fires this year is disturbing. His
statement is emphasized most
tragically by a recent fire in Linn
county. There, five persons were
killed in a home which burned
at night. Specific reasons for that
fire cannot be given; howevr,
evidence pointed to several possi
bilities which are all too often
duplicated in other homes. A wood
stove loaded Just before the
family went to bed or an untend
ed trash burner may have been
the cause of the disaster.
Ross believes that rural people
do not pay enough attention to
fire prevention. Ranking second
to the home heating system as a
"house burner." he lists careless
habits of smokers, the use of
gasoline to wash clothing in en
closed rooms, Inflammable liquids
used near open flames, improper
electrical fuses, ashes stored in
cardboard boxes and dried leaves
and moss on roofs as Important
causes of home fires.
If these fire hazards are either
removed or guarded against, Ross
claims about 90 per cent of the
fire hazards In the home will be
eliminated. He also recommends
keeping a ladder and fire extin
guishers handy where they may
be readily available in the case
or tire.
