Harold Fowler and Frank H.
Kaylor, members of the Southern
Pines Fire Department, will be
principal speakers when the Sand
hills Kiwanis Club observes Fire
Prevention Week October 7-13, it
has been announced by John Pon-
zer, Kiwanis president.
Fowler, who is chief, and Kay
lor, truck captain, will help to di
rect public attention to the 11,000
lives and almost nine billion dol
lars in property destroyed by fire
in 1955, and will explain safety
measures which will help reduce
the fire losses in future years.
It has been estimated that urban
fires, in communities of 2,500 or
over, show an incrrease of almost
every type fire during the past
year. And, an analysis recently
made shows, all other types of
building fires—mercantile, manu
facturing, non-residential assem
bly, and storage, also show an in
crease.
On the bright side of the na
tional fire picture there has been
a fairly large decrease in the num
ber of grass and brush fires, a haz
ard that the Southern Pines force,
as well as others in this area, is
constantly faced with.
The Kiwanis Club will meet as
usual at the Southern Pines Coun
try Club for a regular luncheon
and the following fife prevention
program. '
