FUEL CONSERVATION
IN THE HOME

Fuel conservation in the home is
the subject of booklet just pub
lished and released today by the
American Petroleum Institute. Iss-
ued at time when the demand for
oil and oil products stands higher
than ever before, the booklet enti-
tied How To Save Money On Oil
Heating" contains more than fifty
suggestions on how the home owner
can save up to sixty per cent on fael
and fuel bills during this or any
other winter.
It deyotes much of its attention
to methods of saving fuel which can
be taken of at little or no cost to
the householder. In addition, it
presents neutrality-suspicious. ta-
bles which show how much in
crease in heating efficiency can be
expected from each of the conser-
walton measures recommended.
1t deals with such obvious con-
servation measures as insulating,
weather-stripping caulking and re-
packing leaky faucets, but it also
discusses less-understood matters
in simple terms Among the latter
| are the advantages to be obtained
/ from installing modern battles, noz-
/ zles, clutches and filters in burn
ers or furnaces; the Importance oi

FIRE HAZARDS INCREASE

The onset of winter increases fire
hazards by more than third, Coun-
ty Agent William H. Henderson,
warned this week.
"Winter means heated homes and
barns and also an increase in fire
hazards "a percent increase.
Cracked chimneys, corroded fiues,
defective furnances and improper
ly discarded hot ashes are the viii
lains. Make sure that your heating
plant is in good working condition. "
An annual farm fire loss of over
$90,0O0,0O0 is more than any coun-
try can afford especially during the
present food crisis.
Fire prevention on the farm is
only half the job for complete fire
safety. A farmer must make pro-
visions to protect his farm If he
wants to keep it. He must take the
time to instruct his family and his
farm hands in the use of fire-f1ght-
ing equipment. A farmer must see
to it that a sufficient number of ap-
proved fire extinguishers are on his
property and that they are placed
in strategic locations"
County Agent William H. Hen
derson reminded all farmers that
the first five minutes of fire are
the most important, "You can dC
more to control a fire in the frs
five minutes than can be done in the
next five hours. Fight that fire the
i minute you discover it."
