Fire is fire, whether it is heat ing a home or destroying it. The only difference lies in whether or not it is under control. To be sure that friendly tiros stay friendly, follow these safety tips suggested by the National Board ot Fire Underwriters: 1.1 IXin't "force” a furnace or heater that is giving insufficient heat. Instead, call a qualified re pairman to find out what the trouble is. 2. Never try to "speed up" a fue by using gasoline or kerosene ■3. Keep a metal screen in front of the fireplace. 4. Check periodically to see if the ceiling and walls near the fur nace feel hot to your hand. If so. additional insulation may be need ed to keep them from charring oi catching fire. If in doubt, cheek with an experienced repairman. 5. Bt» careful with hot ashes P it them in a covered metal con tainer, never in one of wood oi cardboard. 6. Store wood, coal and flam mable liquids away from the fur nace; keep the furnace room fret of trash. . 7. In preparation for next win ter, make a note to have heating system and chimneys inspected and cleaned if necessary, before using them again.

When buying a portable elec trie or o^ heater, look for the UI label which means it has pas.se« Underwriters' Laboratories test: for safety. 2. Follow manufacturer's direc tions carefully when filling it. Us< only those fuels for which thi heater was designed, and be sun that there no possibility ot those fuels being contaminate«1 with gasoline. Fill the heater out doors, and never fill or carry i while it is lit. 3. Place the heater on a levo floor, to reduce the danger of tip ping, and keep it away from cur tains, furniture and other com bustihles. 4. Be sure to provide sufficien' ventilation in rooms where port able heaters are operating.
