» I THE D fllb Y TIDINGS EDITORIAL an d FE GEORGE MADDEN ASH LA N D D A IL Y T ID IN G S OUT OUR WAY Fire Prevention » A fireman’s primary duty is to prevent fires. To know how to fight them is of course essential. To know how to save.lives, to be willing to sacri fice his own life to save others, if necessity demands that supreme sacriflc. This is all an every day part of a fireman’s existence. The state fire marshal stressed these points yesterday. Prevention, however, is the keynote of a fire man’s duty. He stands ready to. fight fires, just as a physician must stand ready to fight diseases, but as a physician preaches the value of immuniz ing as a preventative of disease, so must' a fireman preach prevention of fires. Co-operation of the publie in this work is es sential. The fire chief does not ask you to clean up a fire trap, just to exert his own authority. He asks you io clean up those fire traps as a preventativo against the monster which has caused such great jiroperty losses in the past. To recognize the value of fire prevention and co-operation in preaching the essentials of this pre vention, and in observing them, is the duty of every citiaen. Some of these things that give the big thrills are not really as thrilling as they look. One would suppose that a tranalantie flier would get a quiver up and down liis bgck bone as he looked down and saw himself flying over the ocean. As a matter of fact he probably doesn’t quiver along the spinal column any more than a farmer driving a fence post and he probably doesn’t even look down at the ocean he is conquering. It is natural tu J o c k at the other man’s job. This is especially true when the other fellow ’s job gets a lot of attention juuLyours doesn’t get any,- \ , But the job of flying across the ocean really is some filing of a monotonous one in which a lot of per sons take part. First the airplane must be manu factured and that means a lot of grinding, lifting and other monotonous work in a shop. Ty fly across the ocean a pilot must - be trained and that takes months of practice doing over and over again the things necessary to control a plane in flight. Air currents and forces must be wudied and mastered and that takes hours, and weeks and months of work with instrumenta and mahtematics. When it finally comes time to fly across tho ocean the pilot probably gets about as much thrill as a stage driver does when he starts out on his' run for the 504W0tli timo. »A lot of people who are leav ing tiresome jobs to become famous aviators will never make the grade because they will find too much that is tiresome before they ever get into the Tule lake farmers who are having their grain eaten by grasshoppers should send for the turkey raisers to come to their rescue.
