Fire Safety Is
Urged by Agent
Fire is the deadliest killer in the
home More people, age 1 to 64. die
from fires and bums than from any
other home accident cause, points
out Margaret AJIyn, Columbia county
extension agent
Estimates by the National Fire
Protection association show that fire
killed 11,800 Americans in 1963; •,500
of these died in their own home Of
this 2,300 were children.
During National Fire Prevention
Week, October 4-10, fire departments
throughout the nation were paying
particular attention to acquainting
people with hazards that cause home
fires.
More than 1,500 American homes
will be struck by fire today and every
day, causing nearly $1.000,000 worth
damage.
There are various reasons for this
annual toll, but [ieopl<; still cause
most fires The best time to fight fire
is before it starts
Some of the major causes in home
fires are: faulty heating equipment,
defective o r overloaded wiring ;
smoking and matches, spontaneous
ignition, and flammable liquids
There are ways to guard your
home and family from the ever pre
sent danger of fire Every family
should plan at least two escape
routes leading directly from each
room in the house, to be used in case
of fire Rehearse them with the en
tire family until even younger child
ren know exactly what to do. Plan
to use garage and porch roofs, lad
ders. and even tree tops to escape
from upper floors Keep a flashlijd»»
handy.

IT'S YOUR L A W
REAL F-ST a TF BROKERS
COMMISSION
Mr A listed his house f «
with B. a real estate broker giving
B an exclusive luting on the property
for 60 days The listing contract pro-
vided that B would be entitled to a
six percent commission on th<- sal«
price whi-n B produced a buyer who
was ready, willing and able to pur
chase the property
B advertised the property for sale
Mr C answered B s ad and was tak
en to the house by B C liked the
house and had cash and ww able to
pay the $20,000 purchase price (hat
A was asking
The day after the brok«r showed
C the house. C cam«- bock and asked
A how long it would lx- before the
exclusive listing with B would end
A told C the listing would oxpire m
a week C then said that he would
buy the house as soon as the listing
expired if A would reduce the price
by $600, or half of th<- amount of th<-
1200 commission that A would save
by selling the house after the listing
expired A agreed to sell on thos,.
terms
After the listing expired. A -old the
house to C for $19,400 and told R
nothing about it Later R found out
about the sal«- and sued A for the six
(x-rcent commission
l>o you think B can win the suit far
his commission?
The answer is that B can collect
his commission. He earned it when
he produced C, who was ready will
ing and able to buy A s bouse A and
C could not cheat R of his eommis
sion merely by waiting until the list-
ing on the house expired. The court
would require A to pay R the com
mission, and the fact that A reduce«
the purchase price by half of the
amount of the commission would not
change the result.
