Sueeestions for the exit plan
include these:
1 rarofnllv flpure out at least
two routes to the outside from
every room in the house, es
pecially bearooms. aiiow ior
blocking of stairways and halls
hir fira Rpmnvft ohstacles which
would hinder a hasty exit.
2. With respect to night time
fires, remember that closed bed
Hnnra will hold back
smoke and flame, allowing ex
tra time to escape.
Q Vnr Bunn frnm llODer
rinnrv rnrch nr onrapp roofs and
ladders or trees may offer ways
down to safety. Be sure exit
windows worn ensuy ana are
low and large enough to get
through.
4. Designate an outside as
sembly point where the family
will moot and make sure every
one understands the rule, "once
out stay out."
5. Know how to call the fire
department and do this as
quickly as the house is clear
of people, in the event of ac
tual fire.
6. To be effective, the family
must work together In planning
the exit operation; checking the
home, making floor plans, find
ing a second way out of each
bedroom, choosing a safe assem
bly point, and practicing the
drill to make sure each family
member can get out unaided.
Experience has shown that
children who have been well
trained will react intelligently
in a fire emergency and this
added protection for children is
one of the biggest dividends
from family fire drills.
Chief Burkenblne suggests
that it Is appropriate and it
may prove to be a life saver
for each family to set up an
escape plan during this Fire
Prevention Week and to stage
a practice drill with each mem
ber of the family participating.
The department plans to
distribute stickers with phone
number to call in case of fire.
These are to be attached to tel
ephone for immediate reference
in case oi emergency.

Congressman Al Ullman play
ed a leading role In action Oc
tober 3 by the House Ways and
Means Committor- tabling the
President's tax surcharge bill.
"The President has refused to
cooperate with our committee
In establishing firm guide lines
for spending cuts," Ullman said.
"Therefore, further consideration
at this time seems futile."
The resolution drafted by
Ullman temporarily puts the
bill on the table "until such
time as the President and the
Congress reach an understand
ing on a means of implement
ing more effective expenditure
reductions and controls."
Ullman stressed that the bill
would retain its top priority po
sition on the committee docket.
' The Oregon Democrat previ
ously announced support for a
tax Increase coupled with
spending reductions.
"Five billion dollars In expen
dlture cuts must accompany a
tax hike if it is to be effective
in controlling inflation and pre
venting another credit crunch,'
Ullman said.
"I firmly believe that the peo
ple would support a temporary
tax increase if the President
