Flammable Liquids
Among Dangerous
Haxards in Homes
One of the most dangerous
fire hazards in the home is flam
mable liquids, which last year
caused more than 40,000 build
ing fires costing several hundred
lives and almost $40,000,000 in
property damages throughout
the country.
Chief Urgei Check
As part of National Fire Pre-
vention week, Medford Fire
Chief Gordon Barker has urged
residents to check residences
and other establishments for
flammable liquids - cleaning
fluids, paint thinners, varnish
removers, gasoline, kerosene
and kitchen grease.
Such fiery liquids as gasoline
kerosene and flammable clean-
in s! fluids should be kept in
tightly closed metal containers
which have labels indicating the
contents have been approved by
nationally recognized testing
agency, Barker pointed out
These containers should not be
placed near stairways, in small
closets or near heating appli
ances, he pointed out.
People who do their own dry
cleaning should make sure of
proper ventilations in the house
if it cannot be done outside.
Barker reminded residents who
use dry cleaning fluid to give
clothes dry cleaned a good air
ing before putting them away,
Rags Dangerous
-Rags soaked with furniture
polish, paint, turpentine or oth
er oily substances should be dis
carded right after use, Barker
said, but if such rags are kept
they should be' placed in a tight
ly covered metal container such
as an old coffee can.
Barker noted that many peo
ple do not recognize serious fire
hazards such as flammable liq
uids, and urged residents to use
care, not only during National
Fire Prevention week, but
throughout the year, in handling
flammable liquids.

Congress Lauded
For Legislation
On Racketeering
Las Vegas (U.R) The Am
erican Mining Congress today
sought a revision of general min
ing laws to provide a "reason
able period of protection" for
anyone making discoveries.
The congress, meeting here in
convention, adopted a resolution
lauding Congress for legislation
which prevented land racketeer
ing through filing of mining
claims "in bad faith." At the
same time, the AMC urged that,
because of increased reliance on
expensive, modern equipmnt
for prospecting, laws be revised
to give the "reasonable period
of protection" after the discov
ery is made."
The AMC also lauded the op
ening of vast new areas for ex
ploration which previously
were closed. The congress, how
ever, announced its opposition
to granting states any rights in
public domain lands which in
terfere with mining. It also op
posed extension of the Lasing
act system to minerals and met
als. Other resolutions adopted yes
terday by the AMC called for:
Liberalization of qualifications
necessary for "worthy" mining
enterprises to get loans from the
government's Small Business
Administration.
Reconsideration by Congress
of the securities and exchange
laws, rules and regulations to
correct obstructive and unnec
essary features."
Continuation of the loan ac
tivities of the Defense Minerals
Exploration administration.
Straw for livestock feeding
should be taken from the field
as soon as possible after combin
ing.
