BY proclamation Of Prcsi-

loss fires, each costing a quar-
ter of a million dollars or more,
jumped l76 per cent. Losses ex-
ceeded million dollars a day
and burned a thousand homes a
day.
The great need for setting
aside one week out of the year
TO focus attention on the causes
of these fires and how to elimi-
nate them is apparent from
these figures" says Fire Chief
c. Edward Willert. These
losses raise this challenging
question - though victory over
our human enemies is now more
certain, can we win victory over
fire?
That is a moot question"
continues Chief Willert, even
though fire boasts of no secret
weapons. All of the devious

The history of roses supports
the new evidence. Rowland

that the quality of cut flowers

The property is opposite the Wood
mont Country Club, adjacent to a
community of single-family dwell
ings and some of the lots included
in the petition are occupied by sim
gle-family dwellings, the statement
declares.

complete lack of recreational facili-
ties in some areas to seesaws that
pinch" children at the Oyster
