Fire Prevention IS
Everyone Business

Actually dating back to Fire Prevention day which was
first observed in the United States on October 9, 1911, Fire
Prevention Week is set aside to emphasize the year around
need for greater fire safety. Human careessness plays a very
important part in almost every fire of record, fires which
in the last decade have accounted for the death of almost
100000 people and the burning and Disagreement of many
more. If we, through proper fire prevention education, can
succeed in reducing the number of fires in our area, it is not
only our obligation, but our duty to do so.

wall r tackle Don Carlson and
center Lynn Eggum, both at 200.
Their backs paced by Frank
"Bucky" May have a ten-pound
advantage over the local ball car
riers.
Havre's starting lineup will
probably be ends James Ratchye

Anderson and Carlson; guards
Charles Grant and Jim Crawford
and center Eggum. In the back
field besides May will be OBJ Jer-
ry Larson, Halfback Jim Dowen
and Fullback Gary Black.
Sidney, horne after three road
games, two of which we're victor
les, r a vastly improved club in
some respects.
Their defense has grown strong
err with each weeks action. This
is especially impressive consider
ing the terrific weight disadvan-
tage they have been up against.
No matter how big Havre is or
any future opponents it won't be
anything new to the Eagles. How
eve Extensively there is plenty
of room for improvement.
Mistakes by the offensive elev-
en- have been very costly to Sid
ney. Unnecessary penalties, fun
bles and pass interruptions time
after time have stopped serious
threats by the Eagles.
This week as has been the case
the past several Coach Don
Shading is not announcing his
starting lineup before game time.
Missing from the Havre game will
be Keith Groshart and Al Mann.
These two boys sit this one out
for disciplinary reasons. Physi-
cally the Eagles are in good
and will definitely be up
for Havre.

The Sidney Volunteer Fire De-
partment is this week presenting
programs throughout Richland
County in an effort to give people
in this area something concrete to
work with as regards fire proven
ton. Just about every school child
in the county will have an oppor-
tunity to see n or more of these
programs and it is urged that as
many parents as possible also at
tend. Separate meetings will be
held at certain places with the
emphasis on adult fire prevention
education. The programs include
demonstrations, movies and talks
on various phases of fire fighting
and fire prevention and should
be extremely informative to all
attending. Pamphlets will be
passed out at both the meetings
and from the fire truck on the
bank corner The department has
asked us to urge the public not
to discard these pieces of literature
without reading them, for they
have been especially worked UP
for Fire Prevention Week and
contain many ideas and hints
which just might result in the
prevention of a fire in your home.
While the main emphasis this
week is on fire prevention, the
department is also stressing what
should be done in the event of
fire. First of all, get everyone out
of the house. Secondly, call the
fire department. If you live in or
near town, where the fire depart
ment "a reach your home quickly,
call the department Immediately
The Sidney herald., 1958-10-08

and concentrate on getting the fire
apparatus there while it can do
the most good. Little fires become
big fires within a matter of min
utes and it is the first few min
utes that are the big ones.
Be prepared. Recognize the pos
sibility that fire may strike your
home and know what you would
do in order to save your families
lives if you yer to wake up and
smell smoke tonight. Educate your
children as to what they should
do if fire should strike and above
all, do not leave small children
at home alone. If it is necessary
that you hire a baby sitter, make
SUR that she understands it is
her duty to get the children out
of the house Immediately if a fire
should strike.
