Pipe Line

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 15-A
source close to the Gulf Oil Corp.
confirmed reports the company has
placed an order for approximately
$4,000 tons of pipe with the National
Tube Co. for a 450-mile seamless
pipe line to link Atlanta, Ga, and
Port st. Joe on the Florida gulf
coast.
The line, for which the oil COM
pany obtained a permit several
months ago, will be the first large
gasoline pipe line in the Southeast
ern States.
1t is understood the majority of
the pipe will be 89s inches in diam
eter with some 65s inches-both sizes
somewhat larger than generally are
used in gasoline lines. This gave
rise to belief the movement of
gasoline will be large or that future
extensions are planned.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Calling all Citizens-for Fire
Prevention Week, which Is to be
observed this year from October 8
to IA.
Fire Prevention Week marks a
definite, intensive effort to save your
life and your property from the
ravages of fire. 1t Is an intensively
personal thing, which comes straight
home to all of us.
Insurance organizations, fire de-
partments, public officials, news
papers, the radio, civic clubs and
organizations-all will work CO.
operatively together to make the
Week a success. They are working
for you, and their hope is to enlist
your support and interest They Will
offer you every opportunity to learn
bout {. fire-its causes, the
magnitude of its destruction, the
means of controlling, fight, and
preventing it. There is nothing dull
about these lessons-to the con-
trary, they are intensely dramatic
and interesting.
And they are much more than
that. When you learn how to in
spect your home for hazards, and
apply what you learn, it may be the
means of saving that home from
ruin. Vastly more important, 1t may
be the means of saving the lives OF
your family from one OF the most
horrible of deaths. Nothing pays
greater dividends than fire pre-
vention.
So do your your part when Fire
Prevention Week comes. Observe 1t
with an open, inquiring mind. And
when the Week is over, remember
what you have learned, and keep
ON using your knowledge. One OF
the things this country needs most
is nationally observed Fire Pre-
vention Year."
