BOONE. NORTH CAROLINA FARM FIRES ARE MORE SERIOUS Because rural families cannot :ali out fire trucks just by 'breaking the glass and pulling he hook," farm fires usually are nore destructive than those in lown. This is reason enough, ays L. E. Tuckwiller, county igent for the State College Ex -ension service, for farm families ?o participate in Wire Preven tion Week October 3-9. Mr. Tuckwiller asserted that farm fires last year cost 100 mil lion dollars, killed 3,500 farm residents, and injured thousands. Through fire, he continued, one can lose overnight the profit of years of labor: ? even in one hour a farmer can find himself financially ruined. Therefore, the agent said, it is wise to take every precaution against fire. National Safety Council re cords show that most farm fires are due to eight preventable causes: Defective chimneys, sparks on combustible roofs, inadequate lighting protection, carelessness with matches, spon taneous ignition, improper use of gasoline and kerosene, unsafe stoves and furnace installations, and misuse of electricity and ap pliances. The first step m farm fire pre vention, suggested the Exten sion Agent, is the development of a fire safety consciousness and determination to work and live safely. When every member of the farm family recognizes haz ards and unsafe practices, cor rective measures can be taken. Mr. Tuckwiller emphasized that Fire. Prevention Week is a HILLSIDE DAIRY Pasteurized Grade A Milk, Lactic Buttermilk, Creamery Butter, Whip ping ..Cream ..and .. .Ice Cream. Phone 194-M Boone, N. C. R. A.
