Chief AnseIm
Urges Furnace Care

That potential death and disaster
Turk in countless home heating plants
as an aftermath of last winters un-
precedented severity. is the warning
being sounded in the nationwide cam
paign to make home heating plants
safe. Gustav Anselm. WyandOtte fire
chief, declared.
Thousands of furnaces have been
made extremely unsafe by continued
firing during the many days of record
low temperatures. In innumerable cases
the castings or steel shell have been
severely damaged so that few more
hours of firing may burn entirely
through. SmOke-pipeS, too, took more
than their usual share of punishment
last January and many are in an ex-
ceedingly poor condition.
An opening in the firepOt, smoke
pipe, or combustion chamber of a fur
mace is a deadly menace to the entire
household. One of the gases which is
sues from such openings is carbon
mOnOxide. Even a very low percentage
of carbon mOnoxide in the air you
breathe is sufficient to cause severe
headaches, drOwSiness and extreme
physical discomfort. Slightly higher
cOncentra ton causes Inconsistencies
and very little increase beyond that
brings death, Chief Anselm warns.
Furnaces should be inspected by a
competent heating expert who knows
what 10 look for and who will instant
ly recognize weak spot if there is
one the chief advises.
Another reason for having such ar
inspection made before the furnace il
put in use again is the fire hazard
created by gas leakage. In addition Il
carbon mOnOxide other gases which
are highly inflammable may suddenly
take fire and spread through the Who'll,
system before anyone in the home i,
aware of the danger. Gases accumulat
ing in heating pipes may also explode
greatly increasing the damage. Since
fires starting in this way are much
more likely to occur at night wher
furnace fires are smOuldering an(
hampers are closed. the possibilities OF
u CHASTITY tragedy are distressingly
apparent.
Chief Anselm points out that tn,
cost of repairs or even of a new fur
| mace, IL necessary, seem little enough
compared to the magnitude Of losse
that may be caused by fire at night
Furthermore, as leaders Of the nation
al safety campaign point out, none.
| spent in this way will ultimately COM
back in fhe form Of fuel savings Il
addition to providing comfort for al
members of the family.

Teachers Given
Increase in Pay

The Board of Education has voted a
10 per cent increase in pay for all
employees of the board. The increase
will automatically be discontinued at
the end of one year.
The board approved Il recommends
ton of superintendent F. w. FrOstic
that from November 1 To March l,
elementary schools will begin at 9 am.
instead of ut $50 as at present. Jun
ior and senior high schools will re-
main OH the present schedule.
The Recreation Commission was
granted the use of school gymnasiums
during the fall and winter, providing
such use does not interfere with acti-
vtieS directly connected with the war
effort.

Phone Co. Offers
Temporary Service

The Michigan Bell Telephone Com
pany announces a plan TO install new
service on temporary basis for civil
ianS in certain areas where inStalla-
tiOnS have been restricted because of
the war.
George VI. Welch. president of the
company. said that applicants for new
installations in the restricted areas are
being offered contracts which permit
the company TO withdraw service on
+S-bour notice, in the event the facil-
tiles are required for the direct war
effort or for the public health, well
fare or security" That will permit
MANY applicants to obtain service on
temporary basis who otherwise
might not be able to obtain it all all.
He suggested. however, that persons
or firms planning to move consult
first with the telephone company to
ascertain whether service will be avail
able at their new locations.
WEIGH said the plan is designed to
afford service To the greatest possible
number Of persons wanting it, at the
same time complying with orders of
the War Production Board that ade-
quate facilities be reserved TO meet in
creaSing military, war production, and
essential public needs. The telephone
system cannot be expanded sufficient
ly TO care for all increase of service
demand, he added, because the mater
laS required, such as copper and alum
mum, are more urgently needed for
weapons of war.
Rather than holding ourselves TO
arbitrary estimates of the extent of
future essential demands, and denying
service to civilians, We propose to
make service available to as many as
possible by offering temporary con-
tracts to applicants" WEIGH explained.
Whether it will become necessary
To withdraw service on a 4S-hOur no
tice will depend upon factors assOciat-
ed with the service increase in a par
tHnlar area. together with the grow
ing needs Of military organizations
and war production industries and for
essential public purposes. Every effort
viii De made, however, to avoid such
Withdrawals. Ii may even become nee
eSSary to request individual-line users
10 take party line service so others
who need telephones can have them
or keep them"

'SEAMEN NEEDED
To MAN THE
MERCHANT FLEET

n drive to register all men with sea
experience has been launched in Wy
andOtte by the United States Employ
ment Service. according to Charles
Terrill. manager Of the employment
Gfice at 81 Chestnut street.
Two thousand new ships now
scheduled for production will require
100000 seamen, radio operators, cooks.
engineers, and officers to man them.
Terrill stated. ANY man who once has
been 10 sea can do his country no great
er service than to ship again. This
war will be won 10y the side that gets
there fusteSt with the mOstest.' and
whether or not that side is our side de-
Ponds upon the men who sail our
ships"
New ships with new comforts, good
food, and shore clubs restricted to
the merchant marine await the victory
fleet sailors, Terrill added. Pay also
has been increased greatly. Able
bodied Seamen are making $500 a
month. radio operators $500, engineers
$3.50, cooks, $500. and officers even
more. In addition, each man receives
$1,000 life insurance contract and
disability and personal-effects insur-
ance protection. Hospital service and
dental care also are given without
charge.
The latest safety devices and fully
stocked life boats are reducing the
hazards Of sailing in wartime, and
practically all ships now are sailing
in well-prOtected conveys, it was point
ed out.
The recruitment drive will continue
for 10 days. Experienced men who re-
gister their willingness to take jobs
in the merchant marine will be called
as they are needed.
Terrill stressed the urgency of the
need for men to sail, and urged all
men who have had experience at sea
to register at once with the local office
of the United States Employment Ser
vice.
