PA'GE TWELVE aiEDFORD MAIL TRIBTIIvE, MEDFORD, OTtEGOX, ST7XDXY, OCTOBER 8, 1935. Will Observe "Fire Prevention Week" in Med ford Beginning Today EDOUS LOSS TREMEh FROM FIRE SHOWS NEED FOR ACTION With J80,000,000 worth of prop erty destroyed by flames last yr. the publlo 1 beginning to awaken to the tremendous, mounting toll of fire throughout the country. More tragic than the property losa waa the 1035 list of 10,000 Uvea lost In flrea In the United States. None of us can plead ignorance to the tremendous number of fires In the country each year, nor to the knowledge that fire Is one or the most terrifying and rapidly spreading "accidents" conceivable. Not being Ignorant of the cause, it la logical to say that only stupidity and negligence can result In so great a toll of property and life annu ally. It should be hard to be for getful when It Is so easy for a We to be maimed by fire, for whole towns to be razed, every personal possession snatched by ' ravaging flames. The fire which has gone down In history as the Chicago fire occurred on October 9th, 1871, hundreds of lives being lost In Its wake. Its only virtue waa the fact that It resulted In the Inauguration of Plre Pre vention Week, the event we are now commemorating In this city. By simple little precautions. In the home and out, flrea could be greatly reduced In our country. It only every single man, woman and child could be aufflctently Impressed by the motion pictures which are shown, the scarred faces and help less bodies which result from fire, there Is not a, doubt but that fires n ! r Avoid losses from fire which may un expectedly destroy your business build ings or your home. See us for details. At tond to this import ant matter at once I . AmmzMi - t --- ; v rr sv v would be rare occurances from now on. Probably, one of the moat fre quent causes la a dropped cigarette butt on a ahcot, awning, or thrown from a window to the atreet where It alights qn paper near grass and woodwork, and then spreading from one structure to another. People seldom realize that the association of ' electric wires and burning flames Is a very natural one. Mnrely a neglected short cir cuit, a bnrcd wire, or hastily pulled out plug can be the first step to ward a house demolished by flames. It Is well worth while to have an elcctrlcan look over your wiring apparatus every few months, as the few cents you pay him may save your household from sorrow. If you have an oil atove, too, be sure that It Is kept clean and that nothing Inflammable comes In contact with It. Try to keep yards and hallways free of gathering rubbish, which contains greasy substances or dry substances, as these are quick to Ignite, and It Is particularly outside of the home that people are free with matches and lit smokes.
