Did you know that if your clothing catches fire, you 'have less chance of a severe burn wearing a cotton slip and a nylon dress than a nylon slip and a cotton dress? A Canadian fire scientist says that although fabrics such as rayon, cotton or linen are more flammable than animal fibres such as silk or wool or the newer synthetic materials, other properties Make sure that your home isn't one of them Think about FIRE - - - Wherever You Are! have a drastic effect on the spread of flame. For example, sheer silk will ignite easily and burn rapidly and rayon or cotton flannel,. will have a low flame intensity. A fabric with a deep pile surface will normally burn with fierce intensity. So will an open weave fabric because the individual stands of yarn are surrounded by oxygen. LAWSON & WISE Office 482-9644 INSURANCE REAL ESTATE John Wise, Residence 482-7265 5 Rattenbury St. E. K. W. COLQUHOUN 14 Isaac St. 482-9747 Limited INSURANCE Gasoline a fickle cleaner Never use gasoline, benzine, naphtha or similar volatile flammable liquids for cleaning or other household purposes. Gasoline, in particular, is treacherous in that it may be used many times without accident where atmospheric conditions are not right for an explosion. But properly mixed with air, its explosive power has been compared with that of dynamite. Countryside Plagued by Grass Fires Grass fires are the bane of country areas. Fighting them ' costs a pretty penny to the mun- icipality. Learn from the farmer that good fire prevention habits are a must since "round- the- corner " protection from a fire department is not available. Lightning - lightning rods should be well grounded. Gasoline - never refuel tractoE• or lawnmower inside or when the motor is still hot. Chimneys and heating ap- paratus - keep them in good repair, away from walls and furniture. Picnickers and campers should make sure fires are out when leaving. If a rural fire, alert your neighbors and at the same time request them to bring water in any container available, at the, time. If possible, stress the necessity of keeping roads clear for passage of fire truck. When the truck arrives at the scene of the fire, the Fire Chief is in full command.
