Chief Thurmond Kenerly urges

Only in this way can real fire saf

The Chamber of Commerce
Safety and Fire Prevention Com
mittee Chairman John Walker
has checked the plans of all the
city and county schools and In
dicated that the most serious of
local fire problems is the dwell
ing fire. That is why so much
attention is ibelng given during
the Week to fire safety' in the
home. He told the principals of
the schools that the greatest loss
of lives of fire occurs in dwell
ings. The best estimate is the
total loss of life in the country
Is approximately 20,000 each
year, and, of this number, more
than half are women and chil
dren. The majority of these die
in their homes as the result of an
avoidable fire.
Comibustlble dry cleaning U-
qulds, defective electrical equip
ment, careless use of matches by
adults and children, and cigareta
which are not put out, are the
most common causes of dwell
ing fires. Few homes are equipp
ed with fire extinguishers, and
every resident and the entire
family should know how to call
the fire departmnt.

Raleigh. — Speaking at the
first general meeting of the

here recently, T. S. Johnson,
State OPA director, said that
"even if price controls were lift

Johnson declared that meat
which would normally be in
butchers’ cases today was
slaughtered and eaten during

ther that he could see no imme
diate relief from the meat fam

the product at their own price.
