Try man Nelson pointed out thnl due to the large number of homes in Medford, the depart ment only concentrates on one-half of them each year. Inspected This Year All homes having addresses on streets extending east and west will be inspected this year. Last year, those homes having addresses on streets extending north and south ' were inspected. Nelson said that the hazards found in the homes are usual ly thought of as being minor. But these minor hazards are the kind that are responsible for .the large majority of house fires, he added. In 1959, 1,816 homes were inspected and a total of 1,336 recommendatioQji were made for the removal of fire haz ards. Nelson pointed out that the worth of this campaign is exhibited by the fact that last year there was a noticeable drop In the number of dwell ing house fires following these inspections. "The reason for these ln- ouuhb men, is uuvious, ne I said, "because every fire that can be prevented by removim the cause of that fire means that much less loss of prop erty and less danger to human life." Increases Noted In Oregon alone last vear there was a 7.87 per cent In crease in home fires over 1958. This set an all-time hiBh for the state of 12,122 home fire claims, not even counting those homes damaged in the Roseburg disaster. Nelson pointed out that the home fire prevention cam paign is based on the princi ple that the inspection is a fire department service to the citizens and that the house holder can refuse entrance to the inspector without incur ring any penalty or official action. 11 XX f I II I II 1 II VllkT IVVkb l ii at i 11 til i ii ii. 4i II I II l ill I II I I ' lmala Hardtop Sport Sedan 1 II f Ml III ill I II Ua3t I 1 "odio, Heater, Power Steering, j I fS DN96 WV V.y ll 7 '""J 1 348 Engine and Turboglide J I fQ H E VRO L ET Jtt Yv $2flQjR J Impala Four D,or or'0fc" ReC" V R ' VVAVX- If Radio, Heater, V8 and Turboglide, '1 1 W ff w UeV"1' fc , J?
