GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURS., OCTOBER 11, 1934 THE GATE CITY JOURNAL W. F. AND at .MA McLINO, Publisher» Subscription, Y ea r........................... $1.50 Subacrpltton, 6 M o n th s--------------- 75c Entered at the Post Office at Nyssa, Oregon, as Second Class Matter MORE PWA That he will ask for an additional public works fund is announced by Harold L. Ickes, public works administra- tor. Millions of men are now at work, and millions of dol lars are being distributed in monthly payrolls in the build ing of such projects as Owyhee, Bonneville dam, the Ore gon Coast bridges, public and school buildings, water sys tems and many other enterprises, some as federal projects and many on the loan-and-grant contract basis with states and their political subdivisions. The amount he wll ask in addition to previous appro priations, totaling $3,750,000,000, the administrator does not state. The public works program is now in the same relative position as relief administration. That is, emergency con struction and relief have gené on long enough to identify federal responsibility with that of other public authority and of individuals. The responsibility s clearly a perman ent one when considered in relation to the newer theory that it is a duty of government to protect the right of a man to work and to make sure that no deserving person lacks foods, shelter and clothing. Public works and relief administration must obviously both be set up as continuing operations in federal policy and administration. Publia works will best serve if planned to take up sags in employment and industry. This means the advance planning of projects, the application of tests covering pen etration of unemployment centers, necessity and the effect in stimulating other productive activities. The proposal for a further public works program must of necessity be upon a continuing basis with the best of ad vance planning.—O. J. KEEP THE HOME FIRES “FRIENDLY” A “friendly” fire stays inside the stove or furnace where it belongs and serves to keep man comfortable. When fire escapes from confinement it becomes decidedly unfriend ly! How often fires do become unfriendly is emphasized in a report of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. “In 1934,” it states, “fires caused by stoves, furnaces, boilers and their pipes, resulted in a property loss of $17,916,783. Another cause of fire, which is closely allied with stoves, is defective chimneys and flues. In 1934 fires originating in this way caused a loss of $24,702,201. A third contribut ing cause is hot ashes, coals and open fires, which ac counted for a loss of $5,002,572. These three alone, with a total of $47,621,556, resulted in 11 per cent of the nation’s entire fire waste that year.” Necessary precautions are simple! Make certain that the stove, furnace and smoke pipes are cleared of soot. Re place worn, broken or rusted-out parts. Keep burnable ma terial away from smokepipes or any other part that be comes extremely hot. If you are the “fireman” in your house see to it that the stove or furnace does not become overheated—use com mon sense in operating the equipment and never force it. Use a metal container for ashes. Be sure that all open fires are carefully screened. Efficient equipment and careful handling make for economy. Fires are a tremendous and needless expense, and eveiyone must help pay the bill.
