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.

From The
County Agent's Office
By N. C. 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
