Prevent Fire: - Not only thi:
week but fifty-one other weeks ir
the year. Did it occur to you that
insurance rates are based on the
fire loss throughout the Nation
Your local fire company cooperates
and asks your cooperation. In
spite of every plea to cut down the
number of fire calls, your local fire
company has already made forty
three calls, two more than all OF
last year. The fire loss in this i'm
mediate community is small when
one considers the number of frame
fire traps in the business section
Nine of the calls were chimney and
ten were for grass fires. These
alarms are on our records as neg
lect because someone failed to CO.
operate by looking after their
chimney or having sufficient help
at hand to stop a grass fire from
spreading. Efforts are being made
through the schools to teach the
youngsters the danger of fire. The
Fire Company is offering cash priz-
es for the best Fire Prevention Es-
