KRAFT INVITES YOU TO BECOME A PATRON AND:
Fire Care One
Aspect Of Local
Cleanup Drive
Fire prevention is one of the
most important aspects of the
Clean-VJp, Paint-Up and Fix-Up
campaign in Boone.
By removing fire hazards
now, eactt homeowner can pro
tect loved ones as well as his
most important possession, the
home.
Local fire officials offer this
check list for fire safety:
Furnace and heating systems
should be checked carefully.
Electric wiring should be
tested to see wnether it can
carry the heavy loads of today's
living. Fuses tnat blow out fre
quently, flickering lights and
appliances that run at less than
top efficiency are signals of in
aaequate wiring.
Special attention should be
given to old clothing, rags, news
papers and furniture that are
stored in attics, basements and
garages.
Oily rags and paint stained
clothes should be disposed of
or should be stored only in air
tight metal containers. Oily
mops should be hung up to per
mit air to circulate about them.
Leaves and grass cuttings
should be kept away from
foundations.
Shingles should be checked
to see whether they have dried
out.
Cords for lamps and other
appliances should be checked
to be sure the insulation is in
tact.
Regular fire drills should be
held so that everyone knows
what to do if a fire breaks out
and how to use an alternate
means of escape. The one sure
way to successfully fight a fire
is before it starts, so take ad
vantage of the current cam
paign and clean up now.
The Veterans Administration
provides hospital training for
one-third of the nation's new
physicians.
