PAGE FOUR L FOR SAFETY AIMS "Medford bat one of the finest ehoot plants It his ever been our privilege to Inspect," said O. M. Thur ber of Seattle, manager of public re latlona and safety of the General In surance company of America, who Is conducting a thorough Investigation Into hazards In schools, theaters, business and Industrial buildings here this week. "In buildings and equipment the children and young people here have about all they could wish for, and very much above the average for cit ies several times the size of Med ford, Thurber continued. "We pleasantly discovered that everything possible Is being done to keep this fine educa tional plant In the very best condi tion." "That Superintendent E. H. Hed rlck, all the school principals and the teachers and Janitors are'safety. mind ed,' Is proved by the fact that we found very few fire and accident haz ards," Thurber said. "Our major In spections are through. We take our Inspectors, K. E. Langabeer and C. B. Smith of Seattle, and R. M. Cole of Portland, into attics, roof spaces and every nook and corner of the build ing. Heating, electric wiring and , equipment, housekeeping and safety I features are particularly observed, with the safeguarding of life taking precedent over property safety." "Insurance money," he continued, "will take care of destroyed school buildings, but Insurance money, re gardless of the - amount, will never bring back the life of a boy or girl taken because hazards that cause fire and accidents are allowed to exist." "We found very few minor hazards In the Medford schools, and these will be eliminated Everyone connected with school operations, whom we con tacted, manifested sincere Interest In our work and the desire to cooperate In complying with our recommenda tions and suggestions. "The people of Medford should know this, and give commendation to Superintendent Hedrlck and his corps of aides. An aid to understanding the ' situation Is the thought that an av erage of five school buildings burn very day In this country of ours, and with them go many human lives. Practically every singe school fire eould be prevented If as much care and attention to safety was taken everywhere In the same degree as In Medford. Unfortunately, such la not the case." During the past week, Thurber haa addressed the city council, fire de partment, and the Klwanls club, on local conditions, and the Senior and Junior high schools on "Safety."
