Horace Sykes in charge of fire preven-
tion campaign work in the office Of A..
G. Barber, state fire marshal.

other patriotic endeavor," declared Mr..
Syke, sand there is no reason why
she shoould not be first in this matter
which means an actual saving of dollars
and cents to the, people of the state.

Portland was one of the worst fire
traps in the entire country. The fire

stands at the head of the list as the
one city in the nation with the lowest
fire loss per capita loss of less than
81 per person per year.
"The record of Portland can be made
the record for the state with similar co
operation but it is up to the people to
put it across ~.
