Fire Strikes 800
Homes Each Day

FIRE STRIKES 800 homes every
day-about 100000 every year. More
over, about one-fourth of the mil
ion-more fires of known origin that
occur every year are caused by
matches smoking and another IL per
cent result from misuse of electri-
city.
Spring Cleanup time then would
be good time to look to our pro-
lection from those hazards. So let's
inspect our homes from cellar to at
tic, getting rid of all those things
that lead to fire.
Take the basement, for instance.
It's the spot where many home fires
start. Let's get rid of the rubbish
old magazines and newspapers, fur
niture, old rags and other combus-
6bles.
Next, check the furnace. It's dan
gerous when dirty. Have it cleaned
regularly. Don't put off necessary re-
pairs.
Next, see whether the ceiling and
walls near the furnace feel hot to
your hand. If so, you may need adj
ditional insulation to keep them
from charring or catching fire. If
N doubt, check with an experienced
repairman. Never, of course, try to
repair automatic heating units your
self, unless you are qualified to do so.
Let's be sure, also, to provide COW
cred metal cans for ashes. Never
place them in wooden or paper
boxes.
Misuse of electricity, remember,
accounts for IL per cent of all fires
m the home, so why not check all
your electrical appliances, including
irons, waffle irons, mixers, heaters,
lamps, radio and other devices. Make
sure that the cords are in good con-
dition, that they bear the little UL

heavy duty circuits for washing
machines, refrigerators, ironers and
other such appliances and that you
have done away with all multiple
attachment plugs. They're a serious
danger in overlooking circuits.
Remember, too, all flexible extern
sion cords should be in the open
none placed under rugs nor over
hooks-and only Is ampere fuses
ased for your household lighting cir
cults. Finally, the attic, unlike the
basement, can be made fire-safe
rather quickly. There's just those old
clothes, broken Toys, discarded fur
niture and more magazines thai
you'll never read. Get rid Of then

The important development b
date is that with the complete pro-
lection afforded the deer for the
past three years, their numbers
have nearly trehied, thus demons
trating that physically the Key
deer are not a decadent species.
They are entirely normal, healthy
and productive.
| This is h contrast to other Am.
erican species Of wldlhe, when, on
the verge Of becoming extinct, cru
sades 70 save them came too late.
The last heath hen died years ago
despite frantic efforts on the part
of the National Audubon Society.
The sex ratio had probably be-
come hopeiesSiy unbalanced before
the end.) A. the present time the
geat whooping cane Is down to
twenty four birds, and although
there has now been provided ample
safe winter range, Il seems doubt

have not only been sympathetic
with the cause Of saving the Key
deer, but have done something
about il, If by nothing more than
expressing their interest and writ
ing about Il to others who they
have thought would be interested
or in . position TO help. There IS
nothing so effective for getting
things done in this democratic
country as strong public support,
and il is good TO know that every
Individual can contribute material
ly IN any cause he feels Is just
and in the public interest.
But all this IS getting ahead oi
the story. There is yet fly in the
ointment. We are not only out to
restore the Key deer but, more I'M
portant, to preserve for all time a
vanishing species Of American wild
life. The hitch is that we are build
ing back the deer on lands that
in themselves are highly tranSitory.
The leases we are now getting are
temporary only and viii be honor
ed as such. At the rate with which
Subdivisions and other develop
ments continue 10 march down the
Florida keys the habitat OF the Key
deer will be soon gobbled up and
the Key deer viii be gone.
Land Needed
The conclusion is unacceptable.
Somewhere, somehow, within the
Key deer range a small area of
land must be acquired under some
form OF ownership that viii guar
antee permanent and safe use for
the Key deer for all time 10 come.
II will not take much, probably
:, 900 acres will do it, but at least
on that much land the advance OF
the blueprintS and bulldozerS must
be stopped and the Key deer per-
mitted to live on IN a small part
of the same area and under the
same peaceful conditions as pre-
vailed when Columbus first saw
and reported them over 400 years
ago.
This then is the unsolved pro-
blem, and we must be most care
fun not to confuse issues of long
term and short term survival.
We also must not be beguiled
into thinking there may be another
solution, such as moving a few of
the deer into ZOOS or onto other
larger areas less highly specula-
tive. The Key deer are the unique,
diminutive and lovely species they
are, only because of count
less characteristics that have en-
'abled them to thrive on the salt
water environment of the lower
Florida keys. And this small area
has been further restricted by
being confined only to those few
keys underlain by oolitic limestone
with imperviouS pockets which
catch and hold rain for their only
source of drinking water. To move
them elsewhere would destroy their
identity and insure their extinction
as surely as if they were permitted
to be shot off at once.

The current drive to Save the

animals remained in existence, and
there was considerable doubt that
Ghis small nucleus could survive.
In the absence Of authority for

into the breach and appropriated
$500 for the hire OF a patrolman,

PERMISSION A MUST
COLUMBUS, OHIO - While
most of Ohio's hunters conduct
themselves as true Sportsmen while
in the field, Division of Wildlife
officials are urging all hunters to
protect the rights of farmers dur
in the hunting season just ahead.
Surveys conducted during the past
few years have shown that
great percentage of OhiO's private
ly-owncd farmland is open to hunt
ing providing permission is first
obtained from the landowner.
Hunters are being reminded that
wet weather conditions have held
up the harvest of large acreagcS
of sOybeanS over much of Ohio
which will reduce the acreage open
to public hunting and will also re-
duCe the number of rabbits and
pheasants available to hunters.
Officials of the Division of Wild
life as well as the farmers them
selves are urging hunters not to
enter unharVeStCd SOybean fields.
Failure on the part of the hunters
to stay out of unharvested fields
may mean the loss of a place TO
hunt next year Respect is due the
farmer on whose land you are
privileged to hunt.
