Edmund Durkee and Jerry Gregory. In tribute to Fire Prevention Week, Glen Jacquart gave an interesting talk on fire prevention. He said most fires are caused by carelessness and that last year in the United States, tires cost more than S980 million and that more than 11,000 lives were lost as a result of fire He told how to go through the house, starting with the "basement, in checking for possible fire hazards. The first thing to check is the wiring. One out of eight fires is caused by defective wiring.

Then of course, the heating plant should be kept in a cool place. Rubbish should not be al- lowed to accumulate in basements i or any room of the house. Automatic dryers should have the back removed and be cleaned of lint at least once a year. In the kitchen one should be careful of curtains or towels over an open flame. In the case of grease fires, ordinary baking soda serves as the best means of extinguishing.

Wiring in the kitchen should be adequate to carry the load of electrical appliances that are used in the home these days. Thc fuses i all household circuits should not exceed 15 amperes, the speaker said. In thd living room and bedrooms, lamp cords should be checked frequently and repaired immediately if necessary. Smoking in bed is perhaps thc most dangerous of all habits, and ash trays should be kept clean In case of fire, every family should have a planned exit oilier than the normal exits. The cardinal rule concerning fires is "Don't Panic'" If trapped in an upper story, don't jump! Open the window a small way and put your face near the opening, Jacquart said.
