BEWARE OF FIRE DANGER
IN CLEANUP PROGRAM.

Be careful of conflagrations in
the enthusiasm of the cleanup
period.
In many towns last year ash
piles were dug into the ground
and covered with clean earth,
cans and rubbish were piled in
the alleys, while old leaves, pa

the vacant lots.
On many occasions these
cleanup fires assumed large pro-
portions and threatened adjoin-
ing property, requiring the call
ing out of the fire depart
ment.
