KIWANIANS CITE
FIRE HAZARDS

Secretary John K. Rankin
presented the topic, 1.-THE Fire
safety of Public Buildings" be-
fore the regular meeting of the
Kiwanis club at the Masonic
temple wednesday.

buildings where people congre-
gate are not only combustible
but lack fundamental protec-
ton for human life," Rankin
pointed out.

secured only by providing auto
matte fire control; sprinklers OF
a~utcr1etic detectors.
"Until common hazards are
eliminated, we will continue to
have murderous fires in public
buildings. Insurance will help
replace the structures, but no
insurance can put back the
breath of life into a row OF
blackened corpses," the secre-
tary continued.
