Fires Take Heavy Farm Toll

This scene Is repeated every
five minutes on some American
farm.
Here a barn goes up In flames.
On another farm it is the home,
and all too frequently, it is the
entire farmstead.
Losses totaled $105,000,000 and
3,500 people died in fires on farms
last year, and the same pattern of
destruction and death is, being
repeated in 1951. The National
Fire Protection Association, spon
sor of Fire Prevention Week, Oc
tober 7-13, says the tragic thing
about this heavy loss of life and
property is that 90 percent of all
farm fires can be prevented by
eliminating ordinary hazards.
Here are the principal causes
of farm fires, according to the
NFPA:
1. Careless smoking habits.
Don't smoke in barns or in bed.
Don't throw away a burning
match or cigarette.
2. Dirty and defective chim
neys and heating plants. Repair
promptly and clean at least once
a year.
Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Peck and
family have moved to Hood River.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Edwards
are living in the Edwin Tucker

generates heat For safety use
