Here's What to Do
If Auto Catches Fire

Automobile fires number co.
600 annually, according to the
National Fire Protection Associa-
ton, sponsor of Fire Prevention
Week, Oct. 7-13. The NFPA says
this is what you should do if your
car catches afire on the highway:
l. Stop the car, shut off the ig-
milton and get all occupants out
quickly.
2. If near a fire alarm box or
telephone, summon the Fire De-
partment.
3. If the fire seems to be in the
wiring, it is a good plan, when
possible, to disconnect the wire
leading to the battery. Fires I'M
der the hood usually involve
either the wiring or the fuel sys-
tenn. Sometimes an overflow of
gasoline from the carburetor be-
comes ignited.
4. It's a good idea to have a fire
extinguisher, but fire around the
motor usually can be put out by
using water or throwing on sand
or dirt. A blanket or other heavy
cloth material also may be used
to smother the flames.
8. If a seat cushion has been
set afire, possibly by a carelessly
tossed cigarette. try to get the
burning cushion out of the car
before the fire gets into the up
holstery and ruins the whole in
terror of the automobile.
The best prevention is to have
your car inspected regularly and
repair defects promptly.

Fire Losses Here
Total $6O,474 in
First Nine Months

The first nine months of 1851
saw 80 building fires in Rockville
and these fires represented a dol
lar loss to town residents of $780,
474. A large part of this loss oc-
Cured in the Lofstrand paint
company fire.
In addition, there were nine We
hicle fires, So brush and wood fires
an dtwo additional outside fires.
In discussing the local fire sit
uation with Fire Department Of
ficials here, it was learned that
six of the building fires were caus-
ed by careless smokers; six others
were caused by careless use of in
flamable liquids, and two We're
caused by short circuits in cleo
trical wiring.
Five others were attributed to
faulty electrical appliances and
motors; four were due to over
heated chimneys and flues; chill
dren playing with matches caused
two fires and nine other blazes
were due to overheated stoves and
oil burners. Officials said causes
Of two fires were unknown and one
of incendiary origin.
Last year fire losses in Rock
vile totaled S122.474.

8. Flammable wood shingles.
When re-roofing, use fire retard-
ant roofing material such as
asphalt shingles, asbestos or metal
which resists flying sparks.
4. Defective wiring and appn.
ances. Check capacity of the sys-
tenn before adding a range in the
kitchen or another motor in the
barn. Keep electric motors and
fuse boxes clean. Make repairs
promptly. Replace frayed exten.
sion cords.
S. Lightning. Protect main
buildings with lightning rods and
inspect periodically to be sure
connections are tight.
6. Flammable liquids. Don't
store gasoline or kerosene in or
near main buildings.
Z. Rubbish. Don't store rags,
papers or magazines in closets,
attics or barns. Clean out and
turn in for salvage.
8. Spontaneous ignition. Don't
put damp hay in the mow-only
properly cured hay. Keep oily
rags in metal containers.

FIRE HAZARD
Zux

Q-What is the first rule of fire
prevention?
A-Good housekeeping. Fires
breed in accumulations of old
newspapers and magazines, dis
carded furniture and mattresses
or other combuStible material.
Clear out cluttered attics, base
mentS and closets, and turn waste
paper and rags in for salvage.
Q-How many fires occur in
homes each year?
A-Nearly 100000 which take
a toll of about $500 lives. The
National Fire Protection ASso-
clifton sponsors Fire Prevention
Week, Oct. 7-l3, to encourage
the removal of common fire
hazards which cause nine out
of ten home fires.
Q-What structural hazards ac-
count for SO percent of all resN
dental fires?
A-Half of the fires occurring
in homes are caused by defective
chimneys and heating apparatus,
f1ammable roofs, and electrical
defects. These hazards can be
minimized by regular inspection.
cleaning and repair of the CHM
ney and heating plant, replace
ment of worn electrical wiring,
repair of defective appliances,
and use of fire-resistant roofing.
Q-Where is a safe place to
store gasoline or kerosene?
Ain underground tanks. If
underground storage cannot be
provided, the best place is small
shed apart from the house or
other main buildings.
Q-How can grease fires in a
kitchen stove be avoided?
A-Clean the oven regularly to
avoid accumulation of grease,
and keep grease containers away
from the stove. If a grease fire
should occur, put a large. fiat
cover over the burning pan or
smother the fire by Sprinkling a
quantity OF ordinary baking soda
on it. Don't use water-it will
cause the burning grease to splat-
ter.
Q-What is still the nations
No. fire hazard?
A-CareleSsness with cigarettes
and matches used to light them,
the source Of more than $1,000
home fires annually.
Q-Is it safe to use cleaning
fluids in the homer
A-Only If it is a non-explosive
huid, such as carbon tetrachlo-
ride. Never bring gasoline, ben
zine, a naphtha or other volatile
hammable liquids into the home
for any purpose.

Driving Costs Due
To Rise If Congress
Okays Excise Tax

Automobile travel is almost GER
tain to cost the American taxpayer
more money in the immediate fu-
ture, unless pending legislation is
drastically changed - and that
seems a remote possibility.
The U. S. Senate Finance Com
mittee has approved without
change the House-passed increases
in automotive excise taxes.
These increases would boost the
Federal tax on gasoline from l and
1/12 cents to cents a gallon;
raise the U. S. tax on new auto
mobiles from Z to 10 per cent; and
hike the tax on trucks, truck trail
ers, buses, parts and accessories
from 5 to 8 per cent.

Pvt. Gray Serving
On Korean Front
Gets Promotion

Raymond E. Gray, son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. E. Gray, Hyattstown,
and husband of Mrs. Mary Agnes
Gray of Clarksburg, is now serv-
ing as a rifleman with the 7th In
fantry Divisions 32nd Regiment in
Korea.
Gray attended Lincoln Park
High School before entering the
Army in February of this year. He
wears the Korean Service Medal
and was recently promoted to the
rank of private first class.
The 7th Division to which he is
attached, in two months of cam
paigning, has fought over the en-
tire Korean peninsula. 1t has be-
come known as the st-traveled
unit in the Far East.

This scene is repeated every
i've minutes on some American
farm.
Here a barn goes up in flames.
On another farm it is the home,
and all too frequently, it is the
entire farmstead.
Losses totaled $105,000, 900 and
$500 people died in fires on farms
last year, and the same pattern of
destruction and death is being
repeated in 1851. The National
Fire Protection Association, spon-
sor of Fire Prevention Week, Oc-
tober lib, says the tragic thing
about this heavy loss of life and
property is that 90 percent of all
farm fires can be prevented by
eliminating ordinary hazards.
Here are the principal causes
Of farm fires, according to the
NFPA:
l. Careless smoking habits.
Don't smoke in barns or in bed.
Don't throw away a burning
match or cigarette.
2. Dirty and defective CHM
neys and heating plants. Repair
promptly and clean at least once
a year.

rious fire that broke out in the
1920's over in the business section
Of Poolesville. 1t burned out an
entire block and threatened to con-
sumo the whole town. The work of
the old department is saving the
town is still talked of by the old
timers.
Finally, a Waterous REQ was
purchased and the volunteers
pitched in and built a Dodge hook
and ladder wagon. 1t became ur-
gent then that central housing be
provided for the equipment. F.
Barnard Welsh headed a building
committee and with the coopera-
ton of the late Joseph H. Bradley
and Frank H. Karn, the present
fire department building became a
reality. That was back in 1926.
In 1881, the Rescue Squad was
founded by Valentine Wilson and
a rescue wagon was purchased. In
1916 the six still-living founders
were guests of honor at the De-
partment's 25th Anniversary ban
quet. Governor O'Conor presented
each of them with a Charter Mem
Der certificate. They were Wilt
am Burrows, Frank Higgins, Clar-
ence Anders, W. Valentine Wilson,
Marbery Gates and Albert Hamke.
Today's department has four tri-
pie combination Mack Fire Trucks,
a Rescue Wagon and a Cadillac
Superior Ambulance to serve the
community. In addition, it has the
recently delivered $4,000 Mack
Fire Truck. The Department also
owns 29 alarm boxes in Rockville
and three sirens.
Present officers are Marbery
Gates, president; Frank Higgins,
vice president; Clarence Anders,
treasurer; W. Valentine Wilson,
chief, and Herbert Yocum, secre-
tary.

a meeting place for the venture.
Far-sighted men were, quick to
jump on Burrows bandwagon and
on March 21, 1921, there gathered
in the offices of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company 50-man
group who had one idea in mind
the formation of the organization
which has has grown up to be
Rockville's fine volunteer fire de-
partment.
Those hardy pioneers who were
elected officers of the first depart
ment were DR.. O. M. Linthicum,
father of DR.. William Linthicum,
president; C. H. Robertson was
named vice president, Bache AL
bert became secretary-treasurer,
W. F. Disney, engineer, and Jo-
seph Howes was made chief.

Game LalUs Change
To Be Discussed
At Public Hearing

The State Game and Inland Fish
Commission will hold a public
hearing on Friday, October IL, at
1880 PM, in City Hall Auditorium,
Cumberland, to discuss a number
of proposed regulations on fish and
game.
Among the proposals are a num-
Der pertaining to open seasons on
large and smallmouth bass, pike
and trout; size and creel limit on
crappie, perch and catfish, in Gar
ret County.
A statewide regulation extend
ing the trout season in non-tidal
appointments over 5 acres; and
one to reduce creel and possession
limit on trout in the aggregate to
five per day.
Other regulations up for discus
sion concern definitions of perma-
nent and temporary trout streams
in the various counties. There are
no permanent trout streams, as
such, in Montgomery. Tempo
rary" trout streams are identified
as Rock Creek Watershed to State
Highway No. $50, Bridge 10-Mile
Creek Watershed to State Highway
No. 121; Gunners Branch Water
shed to State Highway No. 1T.
Also to be discussed are regula-
tons exempting Triadelphia Lake
on creel limit of black and white
crappie, and a statewide closed
season on wild turkeys, except in
Allegany and Washington counties.

At that time, the Town owned
hand-drawn hose reels which were
operated by Dibby Herbert and
George Meads. 1t is believed that
this equipment was acquired in
1897, shortly after waterworks and
hydrants were installed in Rock
vile.
But when fire swept the Collins
place, it was necessary to call the
District Fire Department and it,
along with town volunteers, final
ly brought the blaze under con
troll.
But that fire brought a real
scare to Rockville. 1t was Bill
Burrows who went before the
Town Council and recommended
that volunteer fire department
with some modern equipment be
organized Immediately. He offer
ed the use of his barber shop as

try and Canada during this
period.
This study shows that princi-
pal factors contributing to these
fires have been flammable roof
ing, inadequate water distribu-
ton systems, high winds and in
adequate public fire protection.
Flammable roofing, ranking first
as a cause of conflagrations at the
turn of the century, dropped to
fourth place in the most recent
25-year period. The NFPA attrib-
utes this in part to the increased
use of fire-resistant roofing mate
rails, such as asphalt shingles.

the equipment of the old company
and set out to raise money to in
stall an adequate alarm system.
William Prettyman was the hardy
soul who became committee chair
man of the house to house canvass
that finally resulted in installation
of a siren in the Old Court House.
BY January, 1922, dinners, dona-
lions and a contribution from the
County added up to $4,000 and a
Model-T "Waterous Ford" triple
combination was purchased and
housed on the ground floor of the
old Court House.
Only six people were allowed to
mount and ride the Model-T in
times of emergency and this
brought on rough times and a bit
of two-fisted rivalry among the
boys who wanted to ride and put
out the fires.
Finally it was necessary to in
augurate a ring" system to decide
who would ride. The first man to
arrive after the siren sounded
grabbed the red ring; the second
got the blue and thus had the next
coveted seat in front beside the
driver. The next four arrivals took
rode in the truck. Everyone else
rode in the truck. Everyone else
had to follow in their own cars and
historians tell US competition for
the rings never let down.

which devastate large areas of
built-up property-brought death
to 1874 persons and destroyed
property valued at $785, 100000 in

in spite of the fact that the Leg

HOME FIRES NUMEROUS

More than half Of all fires occur
in homes. About 1000 people are
burned to death, and about twice
that number are injured, every
year in home fires.

DOUBLE FIRE HAZARD

Rubbish Is a double fire hazard
because it may either ignite spon-
taneously or serve as quick fuel
for a stray spark or a carelessly
tossed cigarette.
