Fire Prevention
Week Oct. 8-14

Designated as Fire Prevention
Week." the period October 8 to IA,
inclusive, has a two-fold purpose,
namely, to impress upon the pub
lie consciousness the enormous cost
involved in the fire waste year af-
ter year, and, secondly, to enlist
the cooperation of all elements in
community in effecting an actual
reduction of the fire waste, not
only during Fire Prevention Week,
but throughout the fifty-two weeks
of the year.
Official records indicate that
Fire Prevention Week pays big
dividends in reduced fire losses. A
survey, covering a five-year period
shows for the cities reporting, a
reduction of 43.3 per cent in fire
losses during Fire Prevention Week
and the week preceding and the
week following that occasion. Dur.
ing these three weeks the cities COW
cred by the report averaged 1874
fireless weeks in the United States
and 122 in Canada.
Fire Prevention Week should be
the occasion for as complete ar
inventory as possible of the com
munity's exposure to the hazard OF
fire, as also the steps the citizens
should take to reduce the hazard
The observance Of Fire Prevention
Week will take on added effective
| ness, however, if the fire waste 1;
revealed in its three-fold aspect
as 1t affects the individual in his
home, his business, and, finally, IL
his community.
Inspection by men experienced il
the work is an extremely valuabl,
part of fire prevention work ant
should play an important role il
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1939-09-28

Fire Prevention Week activities.
Effective inspection programs re-
quire careful planning, however,
and depend largely on the degree of
cooperation which can be secured
from the citizens as whole, who
must either make their own inspec-
tons or submit to inspection of
their premises by representatives
Of the local fire department or the
State Fire Prevention Association.
Good organization and planning
are essential for the success of
Fire Prevention Week. Plans should
be made and organization details
worked out well in advance of Fire
Prevention Week, in order that
maxium efficiency may be obtained
during the period of the intensive
campaign. The larger the number
Of organizations that can be enlist
ed in the activity, the better; the
more widespread the activity, the
more efficient the campaign be-
comes. The campaign should point
out definite PERSONAL responsible
tiles to be assumed by every citi-
zen and encourage each and every
one to exercise these responsible
tiles during Fire Prevention Week
and throughout the year.
The various phases of Fire Pre-
vention Week should emphasize the
Importance of the detectives Of the
campaign. Fire Prevention Week
should be something more than a
show of merely passing interest to
the public. The actual objective of
the campaign must be constantly
Kept in mind, If the public-spirited
effort that goes into the work is
to be rendered truly effective.

Pumpkin Weight of
EiXe-Year-Old Boy

Clarissa-A pumpkin weighing A
pounds and measuring feet and
IL inches was discovered last week
on the Victor Lindquist farm north
of town. 1t is nicely shaped and
is the only large one among a
great many tiny pumpkins in a
cornfeld.

the leader from the line and ex-
tract the hook from the gills. After
carefully batting the hook again,
he threw it back in the lake-but
without attaching it to his line.
He baited another one, put it on
his line and resumed fishing. I'm
mediately he received a nibble. He
pulled in bullhead and in its
mouth was the bait and hook Stoll
had carelessly thrown overheard
but moment before.
Operations BY the Pair
Brainerd-Are they contagious?
Mrs. William Rethke underwent an
appendicitis operation at 9 o'clock
one morning recently. Four hours
later, at 1 o'clock that afternoon,
her husband dreamed away under
ether and underwent a similar op-
Grafton. He had little time to feel
solicitous about his wife's condi-
ton before he went on the operat-
ing table for an emergency opera
ton. And now, when the Rethkes
begin telling their friends about
our operations" they'll be a cinch
to remember the time and place.
95 Spuds in One Hill
New Prague-They may talk
about Idaho as a potato state, or
even Maine as potato state, but
when it comes to quantity produc-
ton Minnesota has the real output.
When Mrs. Michael Krenik, of New
Prague, was digging early potatoes
this week, she unearthed a hill
that contained an even 95 potatoes.
In size, they varied from the size
of duck eggs to the size of large
pea.

The most popular woods for furn-
lture at present are said to be oak,
red gum, birch, maple and yellow
poplar.
Freight trains for each hour of
operation now perform twice as
much service as they did 20 years
ago.

fine time they had while on their
vacation. Robert O'Brien, however,
is in a class by himself-his bit OF
remembrance being in the form of
twenty-five pound boulder! 1t
seems that before Bob and two
companions set out for Moose Lake
on the Canadian boundary, his COM
panions tucked the rock in his
knapsack. Not until he had car
ried the heavy pack over two port
ages did he spie the rock. The
discovery was accompanied with a
whoop of dismay but he immediate
ly vowed if he had carried it all
the way in he'd carry it all the way
back.
1t Must Have Been Fate
Pierz-Frank Schamal had not

Schamal for forty-five years, and

been attempting to locate her. Re-
Gently he had obtained information
that she resided at Horrick, South

their mother had passed away but

Making Love in Grave
Yard Must Cease

Fergus Falls-A graveyard is no
place to make love, but even such
silent, depressing surroundings,
plus a dull moon do not deter the
young folks of 1899 One of the
items recently considered by the
county board was petition from
the New York Mills country to close
a public road running through a
cemetery nearby. Though the cause
of the closing was not discussed
it is understood that some of the
young people of the neighborhood
had turned the graveyard road into
a Lovers Lane. The board decided
to close it.

PARIS, Aug. 14.-The abrupt de-

Johannes Won Welczeck, German
Ambassador to Paris, went unex-

There was speculation in some
quarters that his trip might be in

French German diplomatic rela-

But German sources said he was
expected to return soon and merely
had gone to Berlin to be fitted for a
new uniform for the Nazi party con-
gress in Nurnberg, Germany, next
month.
The Ambassador left by train last
night after Premier Daladier and
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet
personally ruled that Abetz could
not come to France
Abetz was asked to leave some
