INSURANCE SURVEY MAY LOWER RATES IN SEWARD
 Continued from page U

ter months. when the weather may be unusually severe, two things are usually done that may haNl diSasterous consequences: the stoves are turned up and the water taps are left on to avoid frozen pipes. When fire breaks out, the fact that so many fau- cetS are open. reduces seriously the water preSSure-and instead of serving to eXtinguish a hos tile fire and safeguarding pro- perty, the water runs down the family drain while Seward sleeps.
 He conferred with John A. Will 1iamSon of the Seward Electric System under whose manage 1nent the muicipal plant has made such outstanding progress, and with Orin Welch and his as sociates at the Seward Light and Power Co.,. owners of the Seward Telephone Exchange. He learned from these gentlemen that the telephone is immediately access sible to any resident of Seward. and that a distress call from the scene of any fire can be com nunicated to the Fire Department almost instanteously. Carson stat ed that he had heard of the ef ficiency of Mrs. Jean Trotter and the other operators even before he arrived in Seward
 In conference with Mayor Eugene N. Lanier both Carson and the Mayor agreed and strong lv urged that the City's Building Code be more strictly enforced and that it be enlarged to in clude an Electrical Code. More ever they thought that the city would become a better insurance risk if oil were pumped to heat ing systems from buried fuel tanks instead of it being conduct ed by gravity as is usually now the case. Engineer Carson told the Mayor that he was pleased 10 note the presence of high pres sure salt water mains placed in strategic places throughout the city.

 Carson took with him a number of copies of the Seward Polaris, stating that this publication could be depended upon for ready cooperation in all civic enter prises-especially those relating to fire prevention.
 Seward was fortunate to have had an authority like Fire lnsur- ance Engineer Carson make this survey for he is very well quali- fled in fire prevention and in- dustral safety engineering work For sereval years, he was with the New York Board of Fire Un- derwriters and during the war; with the Intelligence Section of the United States Army Air Forces. which work included in- spection and fire prevention acti- vities with war plants through out the nation Recently he was Chief Fire Protection Engineer for the War Assets Administra- ton for the eight Pacific Coast States.

Graduates To Get
Army Priority

The U. S. Air Force has return
ed to a policy. Of restricted and
quota-controlled enlistments in or-
der to remain within its authorized
planned strength ceilings. Major
j. A. Smith, commanding officer of
the U. S. Army and U. S. Air
Force Recruiting Service in
Northwestern Ohio, stated that
through this new plan, which be-
came effective June /, high school
graduates applying for enlistment
will be given priority.
Major Smith pointed out that it
has been necessary to restrict Air
Force enlistments in order to in
sure that the authorized strength
will not be exceeded. No expan-
sion program now suggested or
contemplated will be sufficient to
eliminate entirely this need for re-
striction. He further stated that
Air Force enlistments for April
totaled 9067 and that the June
quota is 5000 from civil life, with
or without prior service.
Requirements for enlistment in
the Air Force remain unchanged.
Only three-year enlistments will be
accepted. A minimum general
classification test average of 80
will be required. Only unmarried
men will be accepted in the four
lowest grades. High school grad
yates may apply for assignment to
technical school of their own
choosing. Veterans may enlist in
grade up to Technical Sergeant,
depending upon previous grade
and occupational specially.
The 70 group program calls for
an overall strength of 100000
1922 officers and 426,8S8 enlist
ed men. Budgetary limitations
in the program prescribe that this
strength will not be reached until
July |, 1850. This requires a
gradual build-up process and in or
der to remain within the prescribed
budget and yet arrive at the re-
quired strength at the end of the
fiscal year, it is necessary to re-
strict enlistment during June and
the quarter starting July 1.

providing that everyone doesn't try
to climb on top of it at the same
time.
Most of Ohio's lakes because
they are considered shallow be-
come dangerously choppy just be-
fore a sudden storm, therefore all
boats should head for the nearest
shore when the sky warns of an
approaching storm.
Persons who persist in standing
while afoat in a boat only invite
trouble for themselves and the
other passengers; the average boat
becomes top-heavy with any shift
ing of weight and will capsize
quickly.
The safest rule for swimmers
is to "hang your clothes on a hick-
ory limb and don't go near the
water" but since swimming is con-
sidered one of the most enjoyable
of outdoor sports the rule just does
not work. Beginners and even ex-
perienced swimmers certainly
should use the "buddy-sXstem"
while in the water which merely
consists of watching out for each
other. A sinking body sounds no
alarm and is seldom missed in
time for q rescue.
Safety on water requires only
a little caution, a little wisely used
common sense. Those who are
long experienced in boating and
swimming need not think they are
immune to the hazards of the
water. Accidents are not parti-
cular who they happen to strike.
Vacations are fun for everyone
but more so to those who are care

COMMON SENSE WILL Save LIVES
DURING VACATIONS AT BEACHES

Conservation Commissioner III
4. Rider this week recommended
the use of common sense rules FOL
safety for the many thousands Of
people who will vacation on Ohio's
lakes and streams this summer
stating that carelessness, especially
on water, is responsible for un-
necessary loss of life and personal
injury.
People too often have ten
dency to disregard the simple rules
of safety while enjoying vaca-
tion," Rider said, "and often take
dangerous chances because the out
doors seems so safe compared to
the normal metropolitan hazards" "
He pointed out that since vaca-
tions are spent on or near large
bodies of water, extreme caution
should be exercised especially
while boating and swimming.
The common sense rules for
boating safety are very few and
simple to follow.
Overlooking rowboats is the
most common safety rule violat-
ed by those who consider that the
number of seats or size of the boat
indicates its passenger capacity.
The boards, used for seating space
because of their convenience, pri-
marily are so placed to hold the
boat together.
Top capacity for the average
rowboat is a persons regardless of
its size or weight. If the boat
is square on one end and pointed
on the other and is used for
JOY ride on quiet water, then four
passengers can be considered a
safe load with two persons seat
ed in the square end, one in the
bow or pointed end and the oars
man in the middle. If the boat is
pointed on both ends, one passen-
ger in each end and the oarsman
in the middle is load providing
the boat is in good condition and
certainly a boat in poor condition
should not be on the water at all.
The weight or size of the pass
engers is not nearly so important
as the number of shifting weights,
the fewer the better.
A life preserver or some sort is
just as important as set of
oars for an enjoyable ride, not that
it will keep the boat from upset
ting but it will save lives in an
