Nation Begins About
Battle Against Fire

With national fire losses approach
ing staggering $75O,OOO,OO0 annual
ly, the nation has begun its observ-
ance of National Fire Prevention
Week, October through 9, with fire
safety campaigns in thousands of
communities to save lives, jobs, and
property.
Ten thousand lives are lost in fires
each year, and most of them could be
saved by community action, President
Truman has pointed out in his Of
fetal Fire Prevention Week procla-
nation.
S7O9,S39,O 900 Losses
Fire destruction in the United
States during the - months ending
June 30, 1913, was $7O9,839,000 or
nearly 31a times as great as the
devastation caused in any one year
by the Luftwaffe's blitz on Britain. 1t
was nearly twice as much as the fire
loss for the entire year of 1913, and
u percent greater than the losses for
the previous - months ending June
30, 1947.
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's emphasizes that these statis-
ties reflect only the direct property
losses from fires. Indirect losses are
probably three times as great, the
National Board estimates These in
clude fire fighting costs, hospital
bills, loss of jobs and production,
business failures, reduction in COM
munity buying power and reductions
in savings.

Owners Held Liable
For. Trapdoor Injuries

Landlords having sidewalk trap
doors abutting their property are
jointly responsible, slong with their
tenant and the District, to keep
them in safe condition.
This point was affirmed yesterday
by the Municipal Court Of Appeals
in a case in which young girl was
awarded $500 for injuries sustained
when she fell through a defective
trapdoor.
Joan Robinson, IL, of 1220 Vir-
ginia avenue NV, was walking past
a store, then owned by Mrs. Eva
Gittleson. and occupied by Clar-
ence Tate, at an address in the
same block. When she stepped on
wood-and-metal trapdoor set In
the sidewalk IN front of the store,
it gave way, and she fell into the
4-foot opening, cutting her leg.
Mrs. Gittleson and Mr.. Tate, as
appellants, both argued that they
were not liable because the trap
door was on private property. Point
ing out. however. that public space
begins at the building along streets,
Judge Brice Clagett declared:
1T is the duty, not only of the
District of Columbia but OF the
owner Of the property, for whose
convenience and use trapdoors are
placed in the sideawlk, to keep them
in safe condition"
Judge Clagett also declared it is
the rule" here that, where a ten
ant has use of such a structure and
lets it deteriorate, he. too, is liable
for personal injuries incurred.

Pan American Airways antici- pates an increasing flow of pas sengers on their Alaska runs as a result of the new low rates effec- tive October Is.
 The new low fares cut former ra.eS for Alaska flights by 25 per cent, according to James Walsh, PAA distric traffic manager here, and apply to one-way and round trip tickets between Seattle, Ketchikan, Juneau, Whitehorse, Fairbanks and Nome. They will remain in effect through the win ter season until April 15.
 "TheSe reduc ions, which mean real savings for the Alaskan trav- eler, are part of Pan Americans general effort to bring airplane travel within reach of the average pocket book" said Walsh.
 He pointed out that fare slashes are part of a long term policy, but that they happen to come just at a time when labor disputes are in terfering with normal surface transportation.
 "The new reductions also apply to halffare rates for children be-

Early Start Counts in
Hopper Control

WITH INDICATIONS pointing to
heavier grasshopper infestations IN
Montana this year, farmers are
urged by o. B. Hitchcock, assistant
state entomologist at Montana State
college, to be prepared to start con-
troll work as early as conditions per-
NIT.
Control of hoppers is much easier
and cheaper while the newly
Matched insects are concentrated
along field margins, fence rows,
roadsides and similar places, he
said. Later when the pests spread
out into fields control work is much
more difficult.
Poison bait for hopper control
will be available and under some
conditions is more effective than the
new insecticides, Hitchcock said.
However, two new insecticides
chlordane and toxaphene-are most
effective early in the season when
the foliage is green and succulent
