your help in inspecting your homes,
your stores, your manufacturin:;
plants, looking for defects in wir
ine secina that all rubbish is out
of the basements, and attics and
that your furnaces and stove pipes
are clean, and all defects that will
cause fire, were done away with.
Most families .have stacks of old
maenzines. Diles of discarded cloth
ing, even pieces of furniture stuck
away irt the basement and attics.
! All it takes is a spark from the fur
nace, a defect in the wiring or a;
j careless drop of cigarette, to start
a fire. Once it is slaneo, it is an-;
fkult to bring under control. By !
cleaning up your home this week, .j
you may save it from burning next ;
week."
Fire authorities say that 90 of
all home fires, can be prevented.
They are t.'.u ed by ordinary
