Farm Owners Warned Of Fire Danger
From Haphazard Electrical Wiring

In most cases, the trouble isn't
from the original installation, but
hazards result from later develop
ments on the farm.
Experts cited, as examples, the
farm home wired for a few light
appliances which in q matter of a
few years also has a washing ma
chane, ~ironer, d~ishwasher, home
freezer and possibly an electric milk
ing machine.
All heavy-duty appliances are go
ing to draw a lot more voltage and
wattage than intended by the original
wiring, it was pointed out. AS a
consequence more circuits are needed
and extra-protection should be pro-
vided by installation of additional
fuses and circuit-breakers.
A four-point program urged on
farmers for preventing costly rural
fires is as follows:
Check the load safety minimum
each time you add another appliance.
A farm mutual inspector or your
appliance dealers will be glad to
help.
Keep a continuous check on all ex-
tension cords which might suffer dam
age from machinery, animals or con-
slant use. Replace damaged cords
at once.
Have a qualified electrician check
any wiring you decide to do on your
own.
Never use heavier fuses than those
called for in circuit wiring diagrams
replace fuses with new ones, not
pennies.

Helpful as it has been in giving a
lift to farm chores, electricity also
has become a major fire menace in
the rural area, Ohio ire-prevention
officials declared during the last
week.
In many instances, fire danger is
inherent in overloaded circuits or
through failure to replace worn and
frayed cords, it was reported. Farm
fires from electrical causes have
pointed up the hazards as blazes
from those sources move into the

Eisenhower Trip Cost
Approved by Truman
BY the Associoted Press

The American taxpayer even
tually will pay for the Pacific
travels of President-designate
Eisenhower and his advisers. But
nobody in the Defense Depart
ment now seems to know how
much the bill will be.
QueStioners who raised the issue
of free rides for people who have
no official or military status-at
least until the January 20 presi-
Dental inauguration-got this re-
ply from the Pentagon:
Gen. Eisenhower's trip to Ko-
rea was directly concerned with
military operations. and also with
the orderly transition of Govern
Iment-both of which are clearly
in the national interest"
The department cited the high.
est possible authority for this
statement-President Truman. A
spokesman said: "As Commander
in Chief and Chief Executive
president Truman offered Gen.
Eisenhower the transportation he
needed"
AS for the advisers who accom-
panied the next Chief Executive
or later joined him aboard the
cruiser Helena. the department
said the Presidents offer "in-
cluded transportation for such
staff as the general desired to
be with him at any time during
the trip"

At the same time, other re-
strictions on acquiring steel and

The prohibition of building fol

National Production Authority.
Bowling Alleys Planned.
