Urging farmers to give "all-out cooperation" in this drive, N. C. Anderson, county extension agent, asks several pertinent questions: Q What happens if you drop a burning cigarette or match on a clean bare floor? A Don't be careless and drop a burning match or cigarette anywhere, but in this instance, the embers are likely to burn out harmlessly be cause the floor is clean; otherwise the house or building may burn down. Q You start a tractor in the machine shed. It backfires. What happens? A Nothing if the floor is clean, but if shavings, hay, oil rags or litter is present, the chances are good you'll have a fire to fight. Don't take chances and you won't burn. Q You keep electric motors clean, lubricated, and free of dust and dirt you don't allow com bustible materials to pile up near the motor. There's a short circuit and a spark. What happens? A Nothing. Congratulate yourself on being a fire-safe housekeeper. Q I've cleaned up. What do I do with the rubbish . . . bum it? A Turn useable material in for salvage. Burn the balance in covered metal containers at a safe distance from buildings. Choose a wind-free day follow ing a rain as fresh spring winds can carry sparks long distances and set fire to tinder-dry mater ials and flammable wood shing led roofs.
