Chief Murphy Lists
Six Don IS 10 Aid in.
Fire Prevention

With this week proclaimed by
President Truman as Fire Pre-
vention Week." Fire Chief Clement
Murphy has issued a list Of six
"don'ts" to help reduce losses in
life and property by fire. They are:
i /. Don't fail to call the Fire De-
partment when fire occurs.
4 2. Don't smoke in bed.
i g. Don't put hot ashes in wooden
or cardboard containers.
4. Don't use inflammable liquids
for home dry cleaning.
S. Don't keep oily, wax or paint
rags. They should be disposed of or
kept in metal containers with metal
/ covers.
| 6. Don't put pennies behind your
electrical fuses.
Careless smoking and use of
matches was given as the most
frequent reason for fires with mis-
use of electrical equipment. Ac-
emulation of rubbish, use of in
flammable liquids and defective
chimneys were listed as other lead
ing causes.
"Fire Prevention Week" is OBJ
served annually as result Of the
great Chicago fire in 1871 and, with
it, the public is urged to take &C
tive steps to eliminate fire hazards
IT rely on every citizen to do his
part in making every home, every
school, every building and every
place of business in our city fire
safe and, thereby, attain the OBJ
jective of Fire Prevention Week" :"
Chief Murphy said.
AS one of the opening guns IN
observance of the week, nine Dis
trict fire captains will be given Red
Cross first aid awards at lunch
con tomorrow in the District Red
Gross canteen, 1730 E street NV.
The captains, who are being cited
for having trained more than 800
members of the Fire Department in
standard first aid over period of
three months, are G. A. Cole, c.
Quick, L. F. Price, P. B. Grissow,
