< f 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. VOL. 22—No. 51 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1946 $2.00 A YEAR Stark County Council Has Installation 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.'

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. Amerfcan Legion Auxiliary To Hold Election October 10 The members of the American Legion Auxiliary - will hold their election of officers on October 10, at the Community Building at 7:30 o'clock. On October 17th there will be a special meeting of the Stark County Council to be held at the American Legion home in Massillon. This will be an all day meeting with election of officers to be held in the morning and installation of officers to be held in the afternoon.

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.
