PREVENT FOREST FIRES asm < Farm Fire Toll Is Heavy In Oregon More care from day to day in preventing fires is the surest way to cut down the annual number of farm houses burned, which in Oregon alone totaled 1586 in 1945, says M. G. Huber, fire pre vention week chairm an for OSC extension service. Studies show that 90 per cent of all fires are preventable. An average of more than four farm houses in Oregon burned every day last year, either p a r tially or completely, causing a loss of $812,345 in money value, to say nothing of the extrem e difficulty of replacing these at this time. In addition there were 385 fires in farm barns and other buildings with a loss of $536,932. Here are some of tfie ABCs of fire prevention listed by Huber for fire prevention, to run not only during fire prevention week, but all 52 in the year: Put out lighted m atches and cigarets. Never throw them away when lighted. Replace worn and frayed elec tric cords. Eliminate all accum ulations of rubbish about the place. Verticl openings in buildings spread fire unless closed off. Educate children in simple ru l es of fire prevention. Never smoke in bed. Train every man, woman and child in what to do in case of a fire. Fix all defective flues and chim neys about the place. . inspect basements, and other places where fires frequently be gin. and clean them up.
