his place in the fire front during the
week Of October to 10, inclusive,
which has been designated National
Fire Prevention Week by official pro-

Even the smallest fires starting ac-
cidentally in private home may set

that America is both the arsenal and
the bread basket Of democracy the
safety of every farm, factory and
home against fire is a vital part of

How to Prevent Fires
Fires are the result Of accident, Of
spontaneous combustion, and design.
If the following precautions are taken,
fires from accident or spontaneous
combustion will seldom occur:
Keep your house, store, or factory
clean. Never allow rubbish, such as
paper, rags. cObwebs, old clothing.

and unuSued rooms.

or through the roof without proper
protection Never allow your furnace,
steam or hot water pipes TO come in
contact with wood.

Gle in or about your premises. Never

mable merchandise or materials. New
or take an open light to examine
gas meter or into q closet. Never read
in bed by candle or lamp light. Never
close up your place of business before
going over the entire premises to see
that fires and lights are safe or ex-
tinguished Never forget to have metal
pals or buckets filled with water.

s5,SO0,000 WAR
CHEST QUOTA
FOR DISTRICT

The opening gun OF the Down River
War Chest Campaign will be fired
September Is, at pm, when q war
chest organiza tiOnal rally will be held
for the entire down river area at the
Ecorse high school. The rally, called
by Guy c. POoley and open to the pub
lie. brings together interested civic
minded citizens to organize for q down
river war chest and TO nominate and
ratify a board of directors to guide
the local campaign as part OF the De-
trOit metropolitan organization which
gets under way October 70 and con-
tinues through November u.
Speak er Of the evening will be the
Rev. Francis b. Dreamer, rector Of
Christ Episcopal church, Crosse
Pointe. Rev. Creamer has been a lead
er in civic affairs in the area for q
number Of years and is at present an
active director OF the Russian war
relief organizatiO in Detroit. He win
speak on the growing need for united
action not only on the battlefields Of
the world on the part Of the Allies,
but also on the home front, where the
human problems created by the war
conditions here and abroad far out
number the strategical problems Of the
war itself.
While in past years the community
fund has conducted separate cam
paignS in Ecorse, Lincoln Park, River
Rouge, Trenton and Wyandotte, the
magnitude of the task OF raising mon
ey for the many home and war relief
agencies has prompted local officials
to take steps leading toward one con-
centrated down river war chest cam
paign.
Under the banner, 'tGive for Home
and Country" the following agencies
are asking for the support Of the
down river citizens: Detroit commun-
ity fund, USO, British war relief, Uni
ted China relief, Greek war relief,
Russian war relief, Polish American
council, Queen Wilhelmina fund, war
prisoners aid, Jewish welfare fedora
tion, Maple Leaf fund. A goal Of ap-
prOximately $5S00,0O0 has been set
for the metropolitan area.
This is an appeal in which every,
citizen in our area should be interest
ed" said Mr.. PoOley in calling the
meeting. The problems Of the home
front in time Of war grow more press
ing; morale among servicemen must
be retained; and the horrors Of war
suffered by our allies can be allieviat-
ed by no one but rhe generous citizens
IF this nation"

LONDON, Sept. II OUP).-A
very strong force" of Royal Air
Force bombers smashed Germany's
industrial Ruhr last night, and 80
failed TO return.
Average losses in large scale air
operations are about 5 per cent of
the raiding force. indicating that
at least $50 planes were involved.
Many fires we're started in the
Ruhr, heart of Germany's war in
dustries, and several very large"
CONGREGATIONS still were burning
when the pilots left for home.
Last nights loss was the heavi-
est in the RATS current series of
attacks and the biggest since the
1,O00-plane raid on Bremen on the
night of June 25-26, when So
bombers we're lost.

Pedestrian
Dam 10 Break
In 90 Days
Grim Prediction
Made by Nolan
as Autos Fade Fast

Twenty-Five hundred buses and
966 street cars-total passenger
about lac, 000-stand be.
tween Detroit's hundreds of thou
sands of war workers and walking
daily to and from work.
If the DSR doesn't get more
equipment, the walking starts
soon.
This was the grim prediction
today of Fred A. Nolan, DSR gen
eral manager. -
Right now we are carrying
only about 80 per cent or tho
city's war industries workers 70
and from their jobs" Nolan said.
when gas rationing and worn
tires start shifting more of the
remaining 20 per cent on our
shoulders--and 1 figure that win
begin In about so days-we ain
not going to be able to handle
IL.
100000 DAILY NOW
I'VE are handling 100000
passengers a day. That's 50
per cent over year ago. We
have 200 buses, including 80
that are IL to Is years old and.
because Of lack Of parts, are out
of duty. We hope to get 40 Of
these running. Then there are
Al school buses we can press
into service during the hours
when they're not carrying
students.
1--WE have 900 street cars and
there are so more old ones We
will have rehabilitated I'm 80
days.
"Of all these, we are holding
1O7 cars and $50 buses I'm re-
serve. We don't need them for
our present requirements. And
we hope to get lis more buses.
CITYs TOP PROBLEM
But that's all we will have
when the transportation dam
breaks, which i think will be
about mid-November. Then
we're going to be up against IL.
This Is the most acute prob
lem the city faces right now.
It's worse than the housinr
problem, serious as that Is"
Nolan said that the Office Of
Defense Transportation is aware
OF Detroit's imminent crisis, but
that when the DSR asks for .pri-
critics 70 obtain more equipment.
