mend checking up on conditions in

material that is becoming charred

pipe. should be moved to a safe
area or else properly insulated.
Furnaces and stoves should be
checked for broken or rusted parts
and should be thoroughly cleaned.
Chimneys should be inspected for
cracks, the SCOT cleaned out, and
hot ashes put into a metal container.
Don't overlook attics, closets and
cellars; remove accumulations of
paper, rubbish and any old and
broken furniture. Clean up the
yard and burn papers and trash
in An incinerator. If you leave
paint rags, oily waste, or cleanup
mops about, they may spontaneous
ly ignite. Keep this dangerous ma
terial in o metal can with tight
cover.
Electric fuse boxes should be
checked to make sure that the cor.
rect size fuse is used and that no
burnt out fuses are bridged with a
coin or piece of metal. All cleo

done by an expert electrician. Re.
