Chief Recalls Big Ones
Gives Prevention Advice

Fire Prevention Week doesn't
just happen along about this
time Of year. According to Fire
Chief Fred Lange's records the
two most disastrous fires oc-
Cured on the same day in the
same year-Oct. 9th, 1871.
When the tallies were taken
after the great Chicago fire
$50 were counted dead and an
estimated 168 million dollars
damage done.
The greatest number Of ia
talities from fire came as the
result of a holocast in Pshtigo,
Wise, in which 1900 people
lost their lives.
Since Fire Prevention Week
was inaugurated in 1911 it has
always been during the week
which includes Oct. 9th.
If you want to protect your
family from the hazards of fire,
pre-plan escape routes from
every room in your home.
This is a special Fire Pre-
vention Week recommendation
from Chief Lange.
planning ahead for fire
emergencies would save more
than 8 of every 10 lives lost
yearly in home fires" says
Chief Lange. "And home fires
take about 5000 lives each
year, National Fire Protection
Association records show"
He urges every family to fol-
low these rules to avoid being
trapped by fire:
l. Carefully figure out at
least two routes to the outside
from every room in the house.
2. Rehearse exit plans with
every member Of the family.
Make sure the entire family, in
cluding the youngest child
knows what to do.
8. Always keep exit routes
clear. Do not place stoves or
space heaters near doors, or
tall furniture in front of win
dows. Make sure bedroom win
dows are large enough and low
enough to serve as emergency
exits.
4. Be sure everyone, espe-
cially the children, understands
that "once out-stay out" Re-
entering a house where there

is fire is extremely dangerous.
5. When the house is clear
of people, notify the fire de-
partment quickly and correctly
it's safest to use a neighbor's
phone or the nearest street fire
alarm box.
Don't get stuck with a worth
less "beer can" type of fire ex-
tinguisher, warns Chief Lange.
You'll be more than cheated
you'll be putting your family
and home in greater danger by
depending on such gadgets.
They come in tin cans, aerosol
cans and plastic containers.
They may contain liquid or a
powder. They're dangerous
principally because they just
aren't big enough to do the job
you need them for, to put out
a fire in it's first stages. When
you buy a fire extinguisher,
look for a UL or FM label,
which shows it has ben thor
oughly tested. You'll be safer if
you do.

The lead Of a story is sup
posed to be something with a
punch in it; to arouse interest
in the details that follow.
We've written several leads to
this one, and they've all turned
out very badly. For instance:
Eighten years ago we placed
a puny, two-week old baby in
the hands of an East Cleveland
woman and asked her to raise
it.
Perhaps that isn't the way we
should say it, but that happens
to be exactly what happened.
The baby was The East Cleve-
land Leader, and the woman
asked to take on the job of
rearing was Miss Elsa G. Berg.
(And, may we say right now
that this isn't the way Miss
Berg would have written this
item.)
The Leader, through her con-
scientious efforts developed in
to, not the largest, but the best
edited weekly newspaper in the
county. Every story in the
paper from city hall and school
news to small items about a
church supper were given care
full attention. Miss Berg had
adopted East Cleveland as "her
town" and devoted her efforts
to making it a better place in
which to live, not only through
the things she wrote, but by
her personal activity in civic
affairs.
For several weeks we have
been postponing announcing
that we had been informed that
she had decided to retire from
newspaper work. Frankly, we
hoped she might change her
mind. Her plans, for the time
being, we understand, are to
remain in East Cleveland-but
we know that there are many
places she would like to visit.
Miss Berg came to East
Cleveland in 1910 from Wells
vile, Ohio, where she had as

Going Well

The inspection of homes by

Although complete reports
aren't in yet, Chief Lange cites
these major violation of fire
safety uncovered thus far; rust
ed out flue connections (which
lis running about 10 per cent
higher than the usual major
violation, faulty wiring), after
wiring the next highest viola
tion is an accumulation Of rub
