PREVENT FOREST FIRES

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.
Remove all paper, trash and
other combustibles from near the

badly-needed items for our local construction,

“Dead-end” insulators could not he substituted
with any other type—and much construction de-
lav resulted. “Spool” insulators are used to run
service from poles to houses—and were holding
up construction, no end.
Large sub-station transformers, to he install
ed at the state line, are slated to be on the site
the latter part of November, anyway, in plenty
of time to be ready for the 66.00«-volt current of
California-Oregon Power Co., to he delivered at
the state line, as soon as that company has built
its line to the sub-station..
