quiring several hundred men to bring
it under control.
BY the same token, thousands of
board feet of timber for war industry
may be saved annually by keeping the
fires small.
Hendee estimates that a million and
a quarter acres or slightly less than
so per cent of the Superior National
Forest is now being given organized
fire protection by plane. Besides serv-
ing as transports, planes, are used on
patrol to augment the standard fire
tower detection system during periods
of high fire hazard and poor visibility
On large fires, they are valuable for
making accurate aerial maps and for
detecting natural barriers and water
supplies. Planes are in constant COM
munication with ground forces by
means of a two-way radio system.
The month of October is particu-
larIy hazardous in the forest areas,
Hendee warned.
The dual hazard of Suring vegeta-
ton and the influx of hunters re-
quires unusual care with matches
tobacco, and camp fires. Seventy-five
percent of the fires on the Superior
National Forest are man-caused and
therefore started through carelessness
The marketing of mature timber is the
highest priority work of the U. S.
Forest Service at present. Now, if ever
forest fires must be prevented be-
cause these fires not only destroy
timber vitally needed for present and
future wool products but firefighting
diverts man power from essential war
industries.

STOP fires
Continued From Page One)

5. ELECTRIC IRON. The electric
iron is frequent cause of home fires.
Turn it off whenever you go out OF
the room. Otherwise it may be for
gotten and set fire to your house.
6. EXCELSIOR Flammable rub
bish is the number one hazard of
homes. The least spark will ignite it
and it is an efficient fire spreader.
Never leave it in closets, Railways,
under stairs or anywhere where it
may block exit during a fire. 1t should
be stored in covered metal barrels, re-
moved as frequently as possible.
Z. BRIDGED FUSE. The fuse box
is the safety valve of your electric
circuit. If abused in this way it no
longer functions and a simple short
circuit may destroy your home Dang
erous overlooking of your wiring is
permitted by this coin. Respect your
fuse protection and save your home.
8. MATCHES. These are the strike
anywhere kind. Children burn them
selves to death by the hundred playing
with them. Keep them out of reach OF
small children. Never leave small
children alone in the house. Such
matches are often ignited accidentally,
even by adults. Safety matches are
much safer.
9. NEGLECT OF BASEMENT. Ex-
posed lath is easily ignited. Holes in
cellar ceilings allow flames from burn
ing or other basement fire to get into
the walls. Wall spaces act as flues
and spread fires throughout the house.
Most home fires start in easements.
Plug all vertical openings with nom
combustible materials.
TO- CHIMNEY. Defective Chin
neys and heating apparatus together
cause the greatest number of home
fires. Inspect your chimney each year.
If dirty, have it cleaned by profess
sional. Check your heating apparatus
before starting it each fall. Rusted
metal smoke pipes should be replaced.
IL. ASHES IN WOODEN CON-
TAINER. Ashes, even apparently cold
ones, should never be placed in a
combustible container.> To do this is
to take an uneven chance with fire.
Thousands of homes are burned an
nually by this mistake.
IL. SPARK BURN on wooden
shingled roof. The third greatest
cause of home fires is this one. OF
the great conflagrations since 1900,
wooden roofs spread the fire in over
half. The burning shingles blow off
and soar hundreds of feet, dropping
to start new fires on other roofs.

BOOK ON ELY

she lived in cabin at Deer Lake. Her
pictures are composites of photographs
owned by the family and friends
Winifred spent several hours on some
of the sketches. The B shaft mine
sketch took five hours.
Ruth King has done the story in
her own "way back when" way of
jotting down things that have hap
pened and things that might be in
teresting.
The book was done for no other
reason than that might have asked
why no one has ever written a book
about Ely. 1t was written just for

Der of copies as the three Kings are

careful. Most hunters are careful with
fire, since they realize the value of
forest fire protection to the perpetua-
tion of their sport.
A true sportsman will Smoke Only
in Safe Places, Break his Match in
Two, Crush Out his Cigarette Before
Throwing Away, Build his Campfire
Small and in Safe Place Away from
Inflammaible Material He will Put it
Out With Water Before Leaving it.
If he Encounters a Fire, He will

He will Report it at Once to the

A LIGHTED CIGARETTE can play
havoc with one of Americas great war
resources. Smokers started more than
1,500 fires in the forests of Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin in 1941.

hunters and others using the forest
areas are requested to be especially

AVERAGE DEBT IS
 SET AT $743.S2

Washington, Dec. 2.-(UP)-The United States today is about $l00,- 900, 900, GOO in the red, which is equal to a debt of S743.S2 for each man, woman and child,
 Exactly how high the debt goes today will not be known for several days because treasury computations and bookkeeping. as reported in the official daily statement, run two to three days behind the bill on the national cash register. But with the treasliry's 5000, 900 900 borrow. ing program under way. the public debt, which last Friday stood at $99. .646, ,905, ,450. today must hit the all-time high of $l00.000, 900 900.
 That places the public debt within $25, 900, 900, 900 of the legal limit un- der current legislation. The latest budget bureau estimates are that the debt will reach $i4005i 900 900 by the end of this fiscal year. next June 90. The treasury will seek legislative permission to raise the debt ceiling when the new Congress meets.

 LEAD SOLDTERS-Sl.s0
 Dolls and stuffed cloth rabbits and lambs for little Johanna Bull seem to be plentiful. It probably is cor rect to say that for any metal or plastic toy purchased in America you would pay two or three times as much for its wooden counterpart here. And this reporter saw tiny lead soldiers-pre-war hold-overs- priced at S150 EACH in a Regent street shop.
 But Johnny Bull should fare bet ter than Mir. and Mrs. Bull on De- cember 18th. Practically every pos sible gift except the Merry Christ mas" kiss is a rationed item. Even old stand-bys like handkerchiefs, ties and socks cut into the ration book, and no Briton has coupons to spare beyond those for his own needs.
