ORDNANCE CORPS
Rates HIGHEST
SAFETY AWARD

The Ordnance Corps, of which
Erie Ordnance Depot is a part,
is to be presented with the Ma
tional Safety Councils award OF
honor for distinguished service
to safety for its safety program
and achievements in 1851.
This is the highest safety award,
and it is the first time that the
Ordnance Corps has won it.
This announcement was received
today by Col. E. M. WWebb, CON-
manding officer of Erie, in a let.
ter from Major General E. L. Ford,
chief of Ordnance.
Expressing his pride and sat
isfaction in receiving this news,
Gen. Ford commented further.
MY satisfaction comes not only
from accepting, for the Ordnance
Corps, the National Safety Coun-
cil's highest award but also from
the knowledge that my desire for
good overall Ordnance safety
program has been so we'll follow
ed by all civilian and military per-
sonnel of Ordnance that we have
achieved national recongnition.
The Ordnance Corps has a
greater problem in safety than
most services because it is, in
many of its installations, dealing
with explosives where an incident
which would normally result in a
simple injury may become ma
| jor accident involving several
fatalities.
Il am encouraged with the know
ledge that in our excellent 1851
record we have laid the gound.
work for working conditions which
will be safer still in the years to
come

FIRE DESTROYS
BARN.; QUANTITY
OF WOOL LOST

One of the largest rural fires
to confront the Port Clinton fire
department broke out Saturday
morning on the farm of Burnett
Brough, five miles west of the
city.
Two alarms were sounded and
both pieces of fire fighting equip
ment were rushed to the scene
where a large cattle barn was
razed
Through heroic efforts of
Brough's 15-year-old son, Robert
Franklin Brough, large herd OF
valuable Aberdeen Angus cattle
was saved from the flames. After
discovering the blazing barn, the
youth put in a call to the Port
Clinton Fire Department and then
rushed into the smoke ladened
barn and drove the cattle to safe
ty in an adjoining pasture
Heaviest loss, besides the large
frame structure, was pile of
some so wool clips which had
been shorn from Brough's sheep
only the day before
Brough was attending a meet
ing at the grange hall several
miles distant, and saw the smoke
but thought it was from a struc.
ture far removed from his farm
Cause of the fire was believed
to have been defective wiring
Property loss was not estimated
by Brough.
