DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
IN CASE OF FIRE?

/ According tc local representa-
(, tives of old line insurance COM
| panies, building fires are one
of the most common destrOyerS
of life and property. Once a minute
on the average there is a building
fire somewhere in the United States.
| Despite these facts, most persons
have never been called upon to re-
port a fire, or to accept responsibility
in seeing that it is properly dealt
with. @
AS cooperative measure during
National Fire Prevention Week, Oct.-
9th to 18th, every man, woman and
young person is urged to familiarize
themselves with the exact procedure
to be followed in case it becomes
| necessary to report fire. Given be-
low are some of the rules suggested:
/ Plan what you intend to do il fire
comes, then do it calmly and sem
sibly.
| Make up your mind before hand
that you are not going to become ex-
cited.
Report the fire as quickly as possi-
BILE and be sure to give correct local.
ton of fire. t3ea5f
| When reporting fire use the
quickest and most convenient meth
cd, which is usually by telephone.
When using a hand extinguisher
the fire should be attacked at the
base.
| If the clothing catches fire, tear
off burning portions if possible. At
tempt to smother the flames by
wrapping the victim in woolen
cloth.
Do not allow the victim to run or
move about.
| When sleeping in strange build
ing, learn nearest exit before re-
firing.
II caught in burning building,
remember that smoke is thinest
near the floor. Make your way to
safety by crawling or crouching.
When in burning building close
| as many doors as possible to keep
| the fire from spreading.
| If it is necessary to jump from a
| burning building, first throw out
! mattresses or bedding to break your
| fall.
If fire breaks out while you are in
| a crowded room, give the alarm
| quietly and unobstrusively, SO as not
! to create panic. 1t is unwise to
| shout "fire."
When .firemen arrive, remember
| to stay out of the way. Give them
the best possible chance to work.
Remember that life always comes
before property.
Remember that death rides with
the firemen in his race to reach a
fire. Don't handicap him by thought
/ less acts.
When you hear the siren or gong
stay on the sidewalk.
If driving car, pull to the curb
and stop. Mover race after a fire
apparatus or park in the vicinity Of
fire.
Never under any circumstances
park your car in front of fire hy-
drant.-McConnel Fire Depart

"will be to introduce a bill to take
care of the remaining 80 percent OF
the tax which the government is not
now authorized and directed to pay
at this time. This will then place
our food control program on the
same basis as other projects now un-
der construction and projects con-
structed in the future
Secrest referred to the fact that
when congressman becomes a
member of a committee he starts at
the bottom which is rule that has
never been broken. Beginning sew
eral years ago, he became a member
OF the flood control committee, mines
and mining committee and roads
comittee, all of vital interest to his
district. He pointed out that ad--
vances on a committee comes only
by the resignation or defeat of sem
ior members and that he is today
close to the top of all his commit
tees, giving him a greater part in
the drafting Of important legislatio
and far greater opportunity to serve
the people of his district. He eX-
pressed confidence that people do not
at this time wish to lose all these
advantages that have been made
possible by keeling him in congress.
"The Norwich grade crossing elimi
nation and street improvement prof.
ects in GAINESVILLE, Cambridge, Ches-
terhill, Pennsville, McConnelsviIle,
Malta and other cities have been
made possible as far as federal par
ticipation is concerned" he stated.
He commented on the fight against
three toll bridges crossing the Ohio
river from Washington county. Not
only were tolls reduced but these
bridges are now publicly owned and
will eventually be free from toll
charges, he declared. This result
has been accomplished for the first
time on toll bridges crossing the
Ohio.
In closing, Secrest told of the Wis
it of two citizens of Marietta who
visited his Office and suggested some
type OF celebration Of the 15Oth an
