In order to saf e - guard the home, inspection should be made, not only during Fire Pre- vention Week but periodically throughout the year. All heating' and lighting, equipment should be, examined, chimney: and pipes kept clean -of soot. No smoke pipes should be permitted through com- bustible walls; disposition of ashes should be. safeguarded. The fuse cabinet should be of metal or asbest- os lined. Lighting circuits should not have fuses of over 15 simpers and blown -out fuses should not be bridged or otherwise tampered with. All drcop cords should be insulated, and not supported on any conductive material. Electric irons should a1- ways be detatched when not in use and kept on metal stands. Matches should be kept out of the reach of children and the children. should be regulary taught the danger of fire and not to play with matches. The safest type of match to use is the "Safety Match" which may be lighted 'only 'on the box. Oiosets should be kept clean and all rubbishremoved from' the entire Premises. Cleanliness is the next to Godliness. Perhaps that is the reason, it always pays such an intportant part in fire prevention. Smokers should be • careful of the disposition of cigarette butts and ashes from their pipes. Above all, 'smoking in bed should not be in Every householder should regard it as a patriotic deity to prevent fires in his home during these critical, times. By cleaning out his attic and basement of all old papers, broken furniture and other combustible mat- erial he will not only assist the sal- vage campaign but will be • reducing - the fire hazards in bis home. Let: every, citizen realize that a fire today, is a national calamity and that every - fire prevented is a conservation of our resources which can be turned; to our war effort.
