SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS One Week Isn't Enough For one week out of the year Fire Prevention Week all America Is made aware of the apall lng destruction of fire. A "Special week" Is fine and definitely serves Its purpose In giving all of us an extra strong reminder that 9 out of 10 fires are our own fault because of carelessness. Just observing the usual precautions for one week won't save us from loss the other 51 weeks of the year, it takes careful attention to the causes of fire the year around to give us the real measure of safety. You will probably see and hear plenty this week about how fires destroy vital defense plants and hinder the U. S. defense effort which Is very true but even that is not as Important to each one of us individually as Is our own home and our family. When fire strikes directly at our house or takes the life of some member of our family then we realize the full meaning of what fire Is. We all hope that we will never have to find out In such a manner. Each one of us is our own best fire prevention agent if we will just observe the few simple rules that are known to everyone no inspector or fire chief can do the job for us, we must do It our selves In our own home and do It the year around. A good fire department is as vital as Insurance In protecting a city and an individual against fire loss, and the additional fire truck soon to be added to the Heppner fire department will be a much needed aid to the firemen In controlling fires that do start but not even a dozen trucks will keep a fire from starting. That job's up to each" one of us at our home or business. Remember, not even the best fire department in the world can bring back a life. ... a life that could be lost because of somebody's carelessness with fire.

Anderson Morrow County livestockmen are becoming more conscious of the value of high quality herds as time goes on. This was Illus trated last month at the Bull Sale held at Baker, Oregon. Frank Anderson, Heppner, consigned three Hereford bulls, Kirk and Robinson, Heppner, four Hereford bulls and Everett Harshman, five Hereford bulls. One of the three by Frank Anderson was judged third place of 80 Hereford bulls entered and was bought by Wm. Smethurst of Lexington. Another of Frank's bulls was purchased by Alex Lindsey, Lexington. Dallas Craber, Heppner bought the Grand Champion Hereford of the show, consigned by Herbert Chandler of Baker. Recently Harvest Smith pur chased a top herd bull from the Chandler herd at Baker. In turn two bulls raised by Mr. Smith, efficiency tested in the Gilliam County Beef Cattle Improvement Association, were sold at the Hereford Sale at Pacific Inter national Livestock Exposition, Monday night. Reports of the sale and buyers are lacking. With these top sales from Mor. row County herds as well as the excellent quality herd bulls be ing purchased and brought in cannot help but affect the qual ity of our herds. A few of the sales yet to come this fall are listed: Eastern Oregon Hereford Breeders Sale, Fair Grounds, On tario, October 1415; Wallowa County Stockgrowers Ass'n, Sale, Enterprise, October 15, 16; Crook Co. Hereford Breeders Ass'n sale, Prlneville, Oct. 23, 24; Midco Hereford Association Show and Sale, Sherman Fair Grounds, Moro, November 1 and 2; Grant Co. Stockgrowers Ass'n First annual bull sale, John Day, Nov. 16-17; Oregon Cattlemen's Assoc iation Spring Bull Sale, Ontario, Feb. 15, 16, 1952. At a , recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Mor row County Livestockgrowers As sociation, arrangements were made for carrying through the Bang's testing program which has progressed through the past few years. An educational program on the need for Bangs testing and calf hood vaccination has pointed out to our livestockmen, from the financial and health standpoint, the need for controlling this dis ease. With the big program now under way nationally, for stamp ing out the disease, the commit tee felt that the time was ripe for the final blows. Dr G. W. Blake, Bureau of Animal Industry Veterinarian lo. cated In Pendleton, will be avail able for testing and vaccinating from October 15 till January 1. With the cooperation of everyone those herds that have not been tested during the past year or have shown reactors, can be handled by Dr. Blake during this period. Questionnaires are being sent to livestockmen in the at tempt to work out an orderly testing schedule for Dr." Blake. Small children and elderly persons are most frequently vic tims of home fires, County Agent. N. C. Anderson said today In cal ling attention to October 7 to 12 as National Fire Prevention Week. Last year, he added, 30 of the 71 persons who burned to death in Oregon were either under 10 or over 70 years of age. Burns were the largest fatal accident caused among children up to 4 years of age. A real threat to all Oregon homes, fires, occurred last year in 9,000 dwellings and apart ments covered by insurance, the state fire marshal has reported. Total Insured fire loss home and commercial was $11,895, 986. The rural and farm portion of the toll was nearly six million dollars, Anderson added. Figuring on an odds basis, chances are about 1 In 50 that fire will strike the average Ore gon home during the next 12 months. Purpose of fire preven tion week is to urge family co operation in preventing fires. The county agent said concen tration on these five hazards will eliminate four out of five fires which damage Oregon homes: 1. Carejess smoking and hand ling of matches cause 29 percent of the fires last year. 2. Defective or over-heated stoves, flues, and chimneys cause 26 per cent of the fires reported. 3. Kerosene used to start fires, and hot kitchen grease 'or other oil hazards added another 10 per cent to the toll. 4. Unprotected fireplaces' and other open fires and hot ashes stored in inflammable boxes re ceived credit for 10 per cent of Fall Clothes WILL BE 0 LEAH When You Want Them IF YOU WILL Call 2592 Today II you will Just give us a ccdl we'll have your fall clothes beautifully cleaned and returned to you ready for any autumn occasion.
