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

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.

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

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.

Herb In th drivway is a Buick. It has just
arrived. 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.
Just give us a chance to prove it and you'll
have a lot of fun.
