OREGON MEMBER OF NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSN. FIRE! Three fires within the past two weeks—two of them disastrous—and the approach of the fire season, should stimulate Valley citizenry into renewing plans for a Valley Fire De partment. November 8, 1951 was the last meeting held in Cave Junction to for mulate plans for a modern, more ef- : ' fire pre;cat: a organisation r Hie Valley.

But, Cave Junction and the Illi nois Valley is not the only Oregon community and district that has been faced with the necessity of protect ing its families and property from destructive fires.

Alt the "united party" aiuiounee- The Valley of Y esteryear The need for a large appropria tion on fire equipment for the Valley is just part of the “growing pains” being experienced by the Illinois Val ley and must be taken in its stride as has other necessary physical addi tions such as bigger schools, incor poration of Cave Junction and con struction of an adequate town water supply. Years from now Valley residents will reminisce, and wonder why prec ious years expired before an adequ ate fire department was established. The thousands of dollars of property which went up in smoke and possibly the snuffing out of human lives will seem rather costly consequences of the postponement of a project, the necessity of which had long been known. Pennywise, adequate pumping facilities and fire hydrants would largely help to reimburse Valley tax payers through the resulting de crease in insurance rates which might be as high as eighteen percent. Whether six thousand or sixty thousand is needed, it’s a price that must be met. The horrors, disap pointments and inconveniences caus ed by the destruction of a home or business by fire, and the injury or death of loved ones, can never be ful ly realized until one is placed in that unfortunate position. No one is exempt from the possi bility of being burned out.
