Extra-Heavy Fuses Pose Fire Hazard (Story also on page 1) Use of unnecessarily large fuses in electrical systems is probably the most common fire hazard, peo ple unknowingly have in their homes. ; Such is the conclusion of the Sa lem fire department, currently conducting an extensive home fire inspection program, which event ually will include every residence tin the city. Inspector Alden J. Addie, who is doing the inspecting, says peo ple generally do not realize that a 15 ampere fuse Is sufficient for most houses. In many cases, fuse boxes have everything for a 15 to 80 ampere fuse doing the job only ii 15 should be doing. ! In line with this, he says. Is the jlack of attention shown to exten ision and appliance cords. Nearly :very home has frayed cords, with .wires dangerously exposed. Many of these cords, he says, are draped :over nails, curtain rods and other objects which make perfect con ductors of electricity. Thfse are two of the most com jmon hazards. But there are oth ers. I Rubbish Is often found piled In '.comers, on stairways, in yards, (basements and atlcs. They provide perfect material for flames, in ad dition to that, rubbish, toys and household equipment scattered on stairs hamper firemen who must fight fires. It is Addie's job to go through a house with its occupant, point ing out to him what constitutes a fire hazard and how it can be eliminated. On the report which he leaves with the occupant, is listed the condition of the outside area, heat ing units, electrical wiring, appli ances, chimneys, smoke pipes, fuel Atoraqe, flammable liquids,, waste material, and any other hazards. When necessary, Addie adds any remarks to the bottom of the sheet which he feels is necessary. '"Many times elimination of the problem means an extensive ex penditure of money, like rewiring of the house, Addie says. Even If the people can't have that done. jknowing that the wiring system is rwaulty will cause them to take ;greater care in using electricity.' 1 He has found it necessary to ex plain to many persons such appar ently little known facts as refrig erators being a major source of fires. The motors become dirty, Eet clogged up, perhaps need lu rication and become overheater, he explains. Sometimes he has shown people how to use appliances so that electrical systems aren't over loaded. Often he has discovered flammable liquids In adequate cans but without tops, allowing the vapors to escape. "Nine times out of ten it is the vapor which burns, not the fluid,1 Addie reported, "but few of the people I've talked to realize that Credit for trie program goes primarily to Chief William P. Ro ble and Fire Marshal Ellsworth L. Smith, who have been working out plans for the home fire in spection for some time. aiem never beiore has had regular inspection of this type. By law, any business, or dwelling be yond the classification of a duplex. must submit to periodic fire in spections. But home inspection is a different matter. "T is something in which the public must cooperate if. any good is to result," Robfe said. "Because Salem is an old city, with many .homes which were built 25, SO and 50 years ago, fire is an ever constant problem. Through fire inspection of this type we can eliminate much of the possibility of disastrous fires." Although eventually he or some one will reach every home in Sa lem, Addie will inspect the borne of any person at any time during me aay 11 contact is made with ,him thro ugh t the fire department.

Catholics Ban Works of Gide VATICAN CITY (JP) - All the literary works of the late Andre Gide, Nobel Prize-winning French writer, were placed on the Roman Catholic Church's index of for bidden books Saturday. Accompanying the Latin decree, which forbids all Catholics to read Gide's writings, was a front-page condemnation of the author in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. The newspaper accused Wm of living a non-Christian even anti-Christian life. Gide is considered one of France's greatest modern men of letters. He was awarded the No bel Prize for literature in 1947. His works shocked and tanta lized two generations of readers throughout the world by their un abashed discussion of homosexu ality, hi5t, theft and murder all written in a style considered by many as the classic of the pres ent day. Gide was reared as a Protestant. Pen Deputy v." ; - XT-:::-:-:---'...-:--''--.-.-.- - 4 t t $ V km lb I J New deputy warden at Oregon State Penitentiary Is Lawrence T.

(Statesman photo) Presbyterian Group Forms Unification Bid ALBANY, Ore. (JP)-The United Presbyterian Church laid the groundwork Saturday for uniting with two other Presbyterian de nominations next year. Commissioners at the 94th gen eral assembly of the church ap proved the proposal to join with the Presbyterian Church U.S. and the Presbyterian Church U. S. A. The combined membership of these bodies would be about 3Ji million. The proposal is expected to come up for final action by the general assemblies of all three denomina tions next year. The board of administration also reported, noting that contributions totaled $9,054,836 in the last fiscal year, an average of $41.60 per member. The missionary budget for the coming year was set at $1,400,000, about the same as this year. Special church services will be held Sunday at Oakville, where the first of the United Presby terian churches was formed in 1852. Oakville is eight miles southwest of here. Jewel Thieves Steal Crowns From Church NEW YORK (JP)- Nocturnal thieves invaded a two million dol lar Roman Catholic shrine in Brooklyn and stole two gem encrusted gold crowns donated by hundreds of women during World War II as an offering to peace. Church officials, who discovered the theft Saturday, said the two crowns were Insured for $100,000 but their "moral value can not be replaced." The crowns were embodied in a painting of the Virgin Mary and, the Christ Child: that hung above and behind the main altar in the Regina Pacis Votive Shrine, which was built and maintained by the St. Rosalia Catholic Church. Police said the thieves had sawed through a bronze grill sur rounding the shrine to reach the glittering crowns, which were hung by hooks over the heads of the Virgin and the Child. Msgr. Angelo R. Cioffi, pastor of St. Rosalia Church, said the thieves were believed to have hid den Friday in the lower chapel under the shrine and emerged during the night The thieves passed up two other jeweled ornaments on the painting a diamond bracelet on the cuff of the Virgin's robe and a diamond necklace for the collar. Msgr. Cioffi said the shrine was protected by a burglar alarm sys tem but the thieves apparently had discovered a way to circum vent it because no alarm was sounded. Pastor Seeks To Explain Fast CHERRYVILLE, Mo. (JP) - The Rev. J. J. Ivie, who says he has gone without food for 41 days, took exception Saturday to news accounts saying he is fasting in hopes of bringing about a spiri tual revival against sin and Com munism. He sent one of his six sons to nearby Steelville with the copy of a note explaining his fast. It said: "I am seeking the more per fect will of God for my own life and asking God to show me why the signs do not follow my min istry as Jesus said they would. "I am not fasting to save the world from sin. Jesus Christ died to save the world; therefore it is not necessary for man to die.

WillametteU. Class of 1927 Holds Meeting A quarter of a century of mem ories were re-lived Saturday at a luncheon meeting of the Willam ette University graduating class of 1927 in the Senator Hotel as part of -the University's Alumni Day. This was the oldest representedN class. President of the class In 1927, William E. Walsh, now an at torney in Coos Bay and State Sen ator, asked he be "unelected" from his post. Elected in 1927 to preside over the class, Walsh was to have been relieved of the post in five years when the class was supposed to meet. Saturday was the first meeting of the class since 1927 and he asked that someone new be elected "for the next 25 years." The class meeting, one of sev eral during this Alumni Day on Willamette's campus, was one of the many features of this year's gathering. Highlighting the get together of alumni, ' attended by some 200 returning students from all years, was a series of four lec tures conducted principally in Collins Hall on campus and at tended by at least 70 alumni at each lecture. Mrs. Hetty Field, 3793 Center St., a graduate from the class of 1897, was listed by the University as probably the oldest represented member at the Alumni Day cere monies. A banquet program in Baxter Hall Saturday evening was at tended by the alumni and included such events Jas a presentation of Matthews medallions to members of the 1927 class by President G. Herbert Smith and a dedication of the program to retiring faculty members Miss Olive Dahl and Prof. Herman Clark. pression on people and would throw a shadow of our denomina tion for which we stand and love.1 Z ' .

It belongs to this proud young couple. They've just "arrived" too. They've arrived at a discovery the discovery that owning a Buick instead of a "low-priced car" isn't so much, a matter of money. It's a matter of knowing the facts of life. Buick prices are closer to the prices of smaller, less powerful, less distinguished cars than most people think. Why don't you check into this? You'll find you could pay $300 to $400 more and still not match the horsepower of this nimble beauty. You could pay hundreds of dollars more and still not get any more interior room, or richer fabrics. But that's only part of the story. The big thing about any car is the way it goes. So you ought to find out how this car rides the road the freedom from bobble and sway that cost a million real dollars to develop. Ibu ought to sample the way Dynaflow Drive feeds the power with a steady swoop and unbroken smoothness in city traffic, on hills, or out on the open road. And you ought to know how it feels to touch off that Fireball 8 Engine. With all its might, this high-compression valve-in-head gets a lot of miles from a gallon of gas. We '11 tell you this because a lot of folks have told us this: No matter what car you're driving now no matter what cars you've looked at they'll never seem the same after you try this one.
