The farmers of the nation, how
ever, can start now buying rural
electrifcation and all the equipment
which goes with it through purchase
of War Bonds. Your War Bonds to-
day will buy rural eIectrificatiOn to-
morrow and give you back S4 for
every SS you invest.

The local Red Cross drive has

down. with the goal still several
thousand dollars away. This GER
tainly does not sound like Milford.
Surely the good people of this
community are ready to dig down
deeper into their purses and find
the rest of this money. For the
sake of your conscience give today;
if you have already given, give a
little more!

War has created a new army of |
fire hazards fighting on the side of
the enemy. This army permeates
war plants and homes. Aside from
individual carelessness, its ranks
include haste and confusion and
substitution. The war worker
rushing to work and neglecting to
turn off the stove, the confusion of
hurriedly slapping together a hOus-
ing project which results in poor
construction and no fire prevention
facilities. the substitution of high
ly flammable materials where or
dinarily metal would have been
used-these are the kind of things
of which the wartime fire hazard
army is made.
For example. glass is now widely
used as substitute for metal in
containers holding flammable liz
uids. Kerosene. cleaning fluid and
gasoline are common in every
home. Fire department officials
and the fire insurance industry
have sought for years to teach peO-
pie to store these volatile liquids
in nOn-shattel'able containers. Yet
today metal has become precious
and the dangerous glass jar is re-
in the garage and laun- {
dry room. Special kinds of glass
have been developed which resist
breakage. But they do break. !
Therefore. highly volatile agents '
such as naphtha and lighter fluid
should be kept in small bottles
not more than few ounces, so that d
if they should break. the conse- I
Iuent vapOrs will not have suffi-
cient explosive force to endanger 5
life. This should be possible be- a
cause these and similar materials
ire seldom used in quantity. Above e
Ill else, never store flammable liq-
lids in rooms containing stoves or u
open flame.
The army of fire hazards is be- d
yond the reach of the mightiest
Iomber. Just because a bomber
ant reach it. we should not under
its power. 1t can strike
IS swiftly and deadly as the most
Efficient panzer division. And, un- l.
ike the panzer. once it strikes it V
cannot be stopped. The
rmy of fire hazards can he licked y
Inly by civilians. And they can "
ick it only if they think fire pre- o
ention, day and night, at home and
t work. \
