Firemen Of Laurel Department List Several
Means To Prevent Loss AS Seventy-Eighth
Anniversary OF Great Chicago Fire Nears

The Laurel Volunteer Fire de.
partment has joined thousands OF
similar fire fighting organizations
in hamlets, towns and cities
throughout the United States and
Canada in calling attention to the
week beginning Oct. 9 as Fire Pre-
vention week. The date, Oct. 9, is
the seventy-eighth anniversary OF
the great Chicago fire which laid
waste three and a half miles of the
city, killed more than 200 people,
rendered nearly 100000 homeless,
destroyed 1880 buildings and
caused a cash loss of $290,000,0 900.
The year 1871 was the year before
Yellowstone park was organized.
Frank o. Hartley, chief, and
Clinton Anderson, assistant chief,
listed several things citizens of the
Laurel community could do to help
prevent fires. One was that as
fires often start in accumulated
rubbish, a fall cleanup of prem
Uses would be a fine thing for not
only the sake of property appear
ance but as a sensible precaution-
airy measure. Easily inflammable
materials in easements and attics
should be removed.
Another point they mentioned
was the renewal of fluid in fire eX-
tinguishers on the premises. The
extinguishers often hang in their
brackets several years without at
tention. They should be tested at
intervals, cleaned and re-
charged when necessary. If one
has been used in emergency it
should be fully recharged immedi-
ately after use. Hand operated
fire extinguishers at home should
be included in the household equip
ment.
Children playing with matches is
another hazard the chief and his
assistant mentioned. Although
everyone knows that children and
matches make a dangerous COM
oination, there are many fires ev-
cry year that begin from that
.ause. Household matches should
,e adequately protected from chill
iren. A recent major fire loss in
Filings is attributed to children
With matches.
Insulation on wires carrying
Electricity will deteriorate with
.ge; therefore old wiring should
examined by someone competent
o say whether it should be re-
Flues, too often neglected
.hould be examined before winter
cts in.
The department also recon-
nended fire drills at school.
Fire Prevention day was first
bserved throughout the United
states Oct. 9, 1911, resulting from
suggestion by the Fire Marshals
.ssociation that the fortieth ami
,ersary Of the great Chicago fire I
e set apart for bringing to the
Iublic the needed lessons on fire
prevention. In 1880 Pres. Wood {
ow Wilson issued the first Ma !
ional Fire Prevention day procla- {
cation, but it was not until 1922
hat the whole week containing ]
Jet. 9 was officially proclaimed
ire Prevention week by President {
Harding. ;
Despite the precautions and in s
icating the need for more care are
he facts that every day there are ,
90 home fires, % deaths by fire, ,
80 store fires, 100 factory fires,

F. B. |. AGENT LISTS
DELINQUENCY CAUSES

Child delinquents are not born,
they're made. The wrong kind of
home life, lack of religious train
ing, lack of respect for school au-
thority, and lack of opportunity to
healthily eXpend pent-up energy
are the elements of the basic pat
tern from which, the F. b. /. has
found, most child delinquency
arises. But despite this knowledge
of why, 100000 of the one and a
half million arrests in the u. S.
last year ere of people less than
q years of age.
Richard ID. Godfrey, special
agent in charge, F. B. l., Butte,
speaking Wednesday evening at a
meeting of the Kiwanis club, re-
versed the allegation of the reign
ing generation against the way
w%ardness of the new. He granted
that crimes by youth are serious,
but he was most concerned by the
callous attitude of many good citi-
Zens.
The home is the primary class
room of the child, where bents are
instilled and attitudes formed for
the remainder of life. Those homes
that do not furnish the basic es-
.sentials for children are the TO-
mentors of much of society's fu-
ture trouble. Fortunately, some
corrections or compensations are
made for the ill-starred kids by
church groups, civic organizations
and by sports set-ups in the COM
munity.
The careless talk of parents
often profoundly influence the
children of the home. The speak
mentioned parental ratings

government, such as a ticket for

iodfrey regarded these contribu- I
ions as valuable. V
Some of the contributors to de- t
nquency were quoted as broken t
ONES, lack of love, neglect, non
operation with teachers in \
chool, and the already mentioned
.cks in religion and recreation.

proyements and equipment to those hospitals in communities where the hardship to do such things would weigh too heavily on the community. The passage of this bill would help immeasurably td give Wrangell more efficient and economically run hospital To a point it would reduce our eX- penditures and thus reduce the yearly deficit. But still there would be balance that would have to be met by a sales tax or some other means. You will prob ably have an opportunity to ex- press yourself. in the near future. on the sales tax. and you can write to your legislators asking them to vote favorably on Sena- tor Garnick's bill. This bill. if passed will be taken advantage of immediately.
 Good and hopeful as these two potential aids may be. they do not. however, answer the problem of what shall be done in 1949, be- cause none of them would be eff fective before 1850, as far as our finances are concerned.
 If no steps are taken now we will inevitably have a debt by the end of the year which will put us in a difficult and dangerous position. Difficult. because We will have just that much more to raise in 1850. Dangerous. because our creditors probably will not let the 1945-4S episode repeat itself and cut Us off Therefore, the hospital board wishes to present to you. the citizens, an interim plan for meet ing the inevitable deficits of this year.
 The board between now and July 1st., would like to interest and invite 300 persons to become Patrons" of the hospital The fee for becoming a Patron would be $10.00. and would carry with it the privilege to attend the quarterly hospital meetings to hear the quarterly reports, ask ques- tiOns, and m e suggestions. Patrons would not be asked again during the year to

contribute financially toward the hospital This, of course does not mean that smaller gifts will not be gratefully accepted from those who cannot afford s10.OO. but card and privileges will not be given
 Naturally, amounts over $10.OO will be happily received and a card given. If 300 persons can be so in- 1 terested. the hospital will not need to go to you again this year, and if you need a hospital you will be able to rest assured that it will be open and functioning and a doctor is in town.
 We need this amount of money because no 13-bed hospital can be self-supporting unless it charges exhorbitant fees. This conclusion is based upon hospital experience throughout Alaska and the States We can not charge enough and be of service to the community, and self-supporting, too Our registered nurses were among the lowest paid in the Territory and. in order to keep our present nurses and to fill our vacancies, we have been forced to raise salaries from $15O to S165; this makes their salaries ONLY average. Nurses, too are entitled to a living wage.
 It must be kept in mind that a hospital, whether it has one pa- tient or 13. must keep a full com plement of nurses, a cook, and other help; must furnish heat, clean rooms. and be medically equipped to handle all types of of cases.
 Unlike any other business over head expenses cannot be contract ed or expanded depending upon the immediate amount of business that is being done.
 Furthermore, the board wishes to have it most thoroughly under stood that this money is not being raised to pay some other persons delinquent hospital account It is not being raised to cover past or future defaulted bills owed the hospital It is being raised solely to meet running and equipping ex- penses.
 The board since it's hands have been united by the raising of the debt. has already taken several steps to cut expenses without harming the efficiency of the hos pital. It has taken steps to im- prove it's operations, and to im- prove the collection of accounts.

The board has concluded a very favorable contract with the Veter- ans Administration The board would also like to point out that it has not raised hospital rates to help meet the increased cost of operation which, if done, would have under the present conditions, worked a hardship upon many.

 The reasons and needs for an open, functioning hospital, and a resident doctor, are only too we'll known by all of you to be enumer- ated and argued here. It is we'll to point out. though that with the almost assured possibility of the sawmill opening again in the near future, every reason and need will be underlined
 May we also take this oppor- tunity to thank those organiza- tions which are refinishing so completely and so well their rooms at the hospital
 Taking heart and hope from your splendid support in the past. the board Is certain that you will continue to give them your con- structive assistance and support
