Gov. Herbert Urges Public To Become
Fire Safety Conscious During July

Governor Thomas j. Herbert
today urged all citizens to con-
centrate their attention and activ-
tiles on the subject of fire saftey
in public and farm buildings,
private homes, hotels and apart
ments. This is the theme select
ed by the state fire marshal's Of
flee for special and Jealous treat
ment during the month of July,
according to Howard Shafer,
Noble county chairman of the
Ohio Fire Safety committee.
To be trapped by fire any
where is a frightful and possibly
a final experience. We recoil
with horror from the thought of
being pinned in a blazing bus,
automobile, or airplane. of be-
ing caught on the flaming deck
of ship at sea. But there is
something surprisingly terrify-
ing about being alarmed from
sleep in a tall hotel, apartment
building or home by smoke and
flames, darkness, panic and des-
pair.
Says Chairman Shafer, "July
may be just another month on
the calendar but it's fire safety
in homes month in the program
of the Ohio Fire Saftey Commit
tee-meaning that the month is
to be dedicated to education
about fire safety in this vital
field.
Fire prevention officials
throughout the state will concen-
trate during July 25 to July 80

14,e00. non-work deaths and
100000 nom work injuries. OBJ
viously there is plenty of room
for Improvement in all categor-
les.
Careful analysis over a period
of years has shown that certain
types of accidents of farm people
happen over and over again with
alarming regularity.
Falls-Whether on the lob or
in the homecause more ac-
cidents to farm people than any
other single factor. Many of these
accidents could easily be elimin-
ated by keeping stairways clear
and IN good repair. A careful
check of hand rails, step ladders,
well covers and unprotected
chutes would eliminate another
sizable portion of these mishaps.
Burns rank high as a cause of
farm home, accidents. Fires and
explosions cost farmers hundreds
of thousands Of dollars every
year.
1t doesn't take very big fire
to cause an amazing amount of
damage on farm. Most farm
buildings are built of wood and
IN a matter OF, minutes a. small
fire can become a big fire.
There isn't any reason why
farm machinery shouldn't be
safe. Manufacturers have spent
many years of careful research
to make American farm machin-
cry the safest in the world. Yet
almost every year this important
equipment causes hundreds of
deaths, thousands. of injuries.
The safety rule for handling
farm machinery of any kind is:
Don't try to fix it while it's run
ming.
