FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK SCHEDULED
FOR OCTOBER S-l4
Delaware Safety Council
Urges Care With Ciga-
rettes And Matches.
WATCH YOUR FIRES

During Fire Prevention Week, Oc-
tober s to the IA, those who fight
fires with hose and axe, with statis-
tics and with inventions will have
something to tell the nation about
their work. Fire is the fourth most
important type of accident in this
country. According to the Delaware
Safety Council, it takes about 1880
lives annually and in 1888 caused a
property loss estimated at $270,000,-
600. The fact that the most COM
mon known causes of fires are still
the live match and ashes of ciga-
rettes, cigars and pipes, makes fire
prevention daily routine for ev-
eryone who strikes a match.
To all adults and most children,
hre prevention is not a new story.
Still there is always something
shockingly new about the fire that
happened last night. And there'were
hundreds of them. But while fire.
men fought to reach children ahead
OF the flames and smoke and while
men watched their means of liveli-
hood consumed, fire prevention kept
faithful vigil in thousands Of
homes, schools. and Industrial
buildings.
The calendar this month says Oc-
tober, but. according to the Council
1t should have printed across it in
red letters . FIRE.
Roofs dry as tinder dead
leaves carpeting the ground
smoke curling from chimneys. The
Council offers you this cheap fire
insurance policy: Use care with
matches and cigarettes. Clean and
inspect chimneys and furnaces be-
fore starting winter fires. Don't use
kerosene to kindle stove fires. Equip
your home with metal waste baskets.
