Fire Prevention Week
President Truman has set aside the week beginning: October 6 as Fire Prevention Week. He reminds us that fires this
year threaten to exact the greatest toll of lives and the greatest waste of material resources that the nation has ever experienced.
Everyone should take the time to consider whether any
fire hazards exist on the' property they own or occupy. One
cause of many fires has been spontaneous combustion. People should not put oily cloths and papers away in combustible
containers. Some little box of such discarded material that is
gradually heating up and'smouldering, may be the stai*t of a
destructive blaze.   -
The custom of some people of dumping hot ashes into
wooden barrels and boxes has caused many fires. Those ashes
may contain live coals that hold their heat for many hours-
The ashes may seem harmless, but if a live coal comes next
to wood, it may start a bad fire.
Overheated furnaces and stoves have caused many fires. If
people leave their fires for many hours, they should look out
that they are so fixed that no overheating can occur. It is a
good idea to have heating apparatus examined from time to
time! by some competent person tas determine if it has any
defects that could cause a fire.
The losses by fire that occur annually in this country are
a tragic destruction of property, and they add to the cost of
living. The efficient fire departments accomplish wonders in
extinguishing fires, but the cooperation of the people generally is needed in the effort to keep fires from starting.
Trices and* the Free Market
-Writing in the New York Times, Henry Hazlitt said: "We
are today operating under a price control law that is badly
drawn andi full of inconsistencies . . . Supply and demand
come into balance .only at a price. That price is the one established in a free market. To hold any commodity below its
• free-market price is almost* necessarily to make the supply of
it smaller than the demand ...
"The way to decontrol is to decontrol.    We must begin
/ sometime and somewhere- If the Price Decontrol Board al-
* lows meats, milk and grains to go back under controls ... it
will be taking a backward step."
Since that was written, the PDB has taken that "backward
step" so far as meat is concerned. It has reinstated subsidies
—that economically vicious practice whereby all the taxpayers pay part of the cost of, what you, as an individual buy. It
was obvious during the debate over extension of the OPA
that Congress clearly intended that all commodities be decontrolled as rapidly as possible. It's equally obvious now that
that intent is not Joeing carried out. High OPA officials are
attempting to exercise full war powers that no longer exist.
Prices must eventually find their own level in a free market. The normal processes of competition are, in the long run,
the protector of the consumer. No manufacturer has a monopoly of anything—others' are trying to cut the price and increase their own sales. And in the vital retail field, competition has given us extraordinarily high levels of efficiency and
economy.
" The present OPA* law says categorically that "the general
control of prices and the use of subsidy powers shall ... be
terminated as rapidly .as. possible." It is the duty.of .the decontrol board to carry out that plain mandate.

Get Together
"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it-" Wasn't it Mark Twain who wrote that? Well,
I think we are getting just as bad about the future. I've listened to more depressing conversation lately about what is
going to happen. I've heard more people have more and more
,'to say about how soon bad times are coming. But 'so far I
haven't heard many constructive, cooperative, plans to counteract it—other than ggvernmentones.
Oh, I know there are lots of people working to be sure that
what hits won't hit them! But they do.not seem to realize
that individualism means individual effort, not individual indifference to one another,.
We can either revert to a jungle existence and fight each
other for what remains, or we can work together, pooling our
resources, to expand production for all of us.
Collective prosperity is not divisible". Without cooperation
£®r collaboration (I like that latter word best because it is co-
T labor) we cannot get anywhere. The best plans in the world
* won't work unless labor,and management, small business and
great corporations, farmer and worker, consumer, and producer, government and private enterprise—whether that private enterprise be a business or a labor union—get together
on the points they have in common, shelving their differences of method and developing a way of action that will bring
prosperity to all. .. '
"When Crew and Captain, understand each other, to the
core, it takes a gale and more than a gale to put their Ship
ashore/' so Kipling wrote. .
We are faced' with a storm. A storm in which false ideas,
windstorms of terrific intensity will be let loose. Only if we
have complete collaboration between all groups in this country can we weather the stbrm.' We must recognize "our "common ideals, our. cpmmon basis of moral and spiritual! values,
and-from that basis rwork oiit our common destiny-together.

The North Canton Junior Chamber of Commerce and local
insurance men are asking everyone to join in the observance '
of Fire Prevention week from October 6 to 12, which has '
been an annual event since it was first initiated by President'
Wilson.
During the week every possible means should be exerted
to clean up all the fire dangers in your home and place of ,
business. Protect your home, family and business against the
ever-present hazard of fire. In the
face of increased costs of material;
and labor, your present home may
be impossible to replace.
Once every 50 minutes, someone.
is burned to death. 1000 homes, 100*"
factories burn everyday. Thisx is
the enemy that stalks the United
States—destroyed our homes, our
forests, killing our people. Today,
fire threatens the success of American product of food and other'
goods which mean so much to world-wide reconversion to peace, it
threatens our national economy as
the increased cost of replacements
fans the fire of inflation. 90 per-*
cent of all fires can and must be
prevented . . . for the conservation
of lives, resourses and our country!
With chilly weather causing
many residents to start their first
furnace fires, Fire Chief Harry
Mohler issues a warning, "clean
up and get ready for the firing
season so a disastrous blaze does
not sweep  your home."
"Each year, Chief Mohler said,
several scores of residents are
made homeless for periods from
one day to _ several months because
of fires which started through the
carelessness in the operaton of coal
furnaces.
This year because of the housing shortage and the extreme difficulty in getting repair materials.
It is more important than ever to
prevent fires in homes with the resulting suffering, Chief Mohler
said."
"Insurance doesn't mean a thing
if you have no place to live for a
month or two," he said.
The chief urges:
1. Carry out of the cellar all
waste paper, cardboard boxes and
similar inflammable materials.
Burn them in the furnace if you
want to—but do it a little at'a
time so pipes * do not get over-,
heated.
2. If there are wood boxes or
kindlirig ,woo'(L in ihe^^lla.E^m.al^e
sure they are .awajrfrom the furfir
ace, preferably on the other side
of the cellar,
3. Check the smoke pipe leading
to the chimney. Make sure there is
no wood or rags on top of it. Remember, it gets hot and will burn
anvthing on top of it. ■
4. Clean out the furnace. Remove
soot from the clean-outs so that the
furnace has a chance to operate
properly.
5. Take a little time to locate
some steel buckets to place ashes
in.' Five-gallon paint buckets make
an ideal container or vou can buy
regular ash buckets. Don't EVER
use cardboard boxes, wood boxes
or place hot ashes on the ffoor
where they can come in contact
with something inflammable.
6. Remove hot and cold air registers and clean out lint or dust.
A damp rag will .collect most of it.
SweeDer attachments, if available,
will do a better job.
7. If the furnace has filters, replace them or clean them.
"None of these precautions will
take much time or cost much
money," Chief Mohler said. "It is
much better to spend this little
time or money now than a great
deal more time and money after
you have been through a disastrous fire.'
If there is any question about
the furnace working properly, call
a recognized furnace man and
have it repaired immediately. It
wil save money in operating costs
alone.
In cases of possible fire hazard,
whether from furnace or anything
else, don't hesitate to call the fire
department and an inspection will
be made.
