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."
