Fire Prevention
Week Impor-
tant Period
Carelessness Cansed Over
IS Per Cent OF The
Fires In 1910

Fire Prevention Week will be OBJ
served October 8th to 14th this year,
and is a period wherein certain facts
concerning causes of fires and the
prevention of them will be brought
prominently to the attention OF the
general public. When one considers
that carelessness is one of the lead
ing causes of fires it is small wonder
tkat the attempt is made to bring
home to each of us the Importance or
fire prevention.
Fire prevention is most important,
and caution is the key to safety. Be-
tween $375,O00,000 and $40O,OOO,-
900 fire loss was paid last year by
fire insurance companies. There was
also a $500, 100000 loss which is not
insured, and at least $500, 900, 600
loss to employees in wages.
In 1910 the per capita tax on fire
loss was $14.73 for 130,000,00O per-
sons In 1910 over IS percent OF fires
were caused by carelessness. Fire
prevention is our duty and obligation.
Fires call for our immediate action
and attention.
over SO per cent of fire loss could
be saved by tight doors, good plaster
and fire prevention material. Know
how to use electrical appliances. In
l943 over $4,000 persons lost their
lives through sabotage.
When fighting fire consider your
fire as the target and the water as
ammunition. Use the stream only
when fire is seen. When ventilation
is cut off, the fire is being suffocated.
Two-thirds of the loss of lives are
innocent children. TIE most distress
ing fact is that most of them could
have been prevented.
The fire department and the public
must work together to prevent fires.
Home is a very dangerous place as
a fire hazard. Thirty per cent OF the
fires in the home are caused through
cigarettes.

OPA Investigate
ing Shot Gun
Shell Sales

Following numerous complaints
from consumers that certain retailers
were selling shotgun shells at over
ceiling prices, Leo H. Mccormick,
Maryland OPA Director. stated Lis
Office is conducting an investigation
into the matter.
One method used by retailers to
circumvent the regulation setting
the ceiling price on shotgun shells.
Mr. Mccormick stated, is for a re-
taller to extract one shell from a full
box and sell the box at the legal cell
ing price. This dealer sold the box
for $138, which is the legal cell
price, or at the rate of cents shell
but failed to inform the purchaser
that the box was one she'll short.
Shotgun shell prices are as fol-
lows: IL guamge, $1.3S per box; z
cents per shell; 16 guage,, $1.32 per
box, cents per shell; 20 gauge,
$132 per box; cents per sheell.
Mr. Mccormick stated that while
he recognized TIE provision affecting
the sale of shot gun shells permitted
dealer to break open box for the
purpose of selling single shells to
customers who do not want a full
box, the instance cited above was
pure circumvention of the regulation
and should therefore be regarded as
a violation.
81 recognize that in rural sections,
it has been the custom over period
of many years to sell single shells to
individuals, but, circumvention of the
ruling affecting the sale of shotgun
shells, in order to realize higher
prices, will not be tolerated. I have
requested all price panel chairmen
at the various War Price and Ration
ing Boards to attempt to adjust these
complaints wherever possible, and
when it is found impossible to make
such adjustments, to refer the cases
to TIE enforcement division of the
OPA. fragrant cases will be prepared
for the United States District Attor-
ney for submission to Federal Court.
In neighboring state already sew
eral similar cases have been submit
ted to Federal Court. 1 want to make
it clear that such evasions as have
been reported to me will be investiga-
ted thoroughly, because shotgun
shells are not coming through in
quantities demanded by consumers
and we have had numerous COM
plants from several of our local
boards of cases of dealers attempting
to circumvent OPA regulations deal
ing with the sale of shotgun shells.
These cases are coming up for hear
ing shortly" Mr.. Mccormick further
stated that while the provisino did
not specifically state that it was lille
gal to sell single shells, no dealer has
the license to take advantage of this
fact, and the scarcity of shells, to
overcharge huntsmen, farmers, and
the like, either by circumvention of
the regulation in the manner describ-
ed, by tie-in sales of 22calibre am
munition or direct by overcharges.
