THE CLOTHMAKER Fire Chief Says fl Buy Only Reliable m Home Fire is Protection bc Equipment Don't get stuck with a an worthless "beer can" fire ex- r r tinguisher or an unreliable home fire alarm, warns Fire Chief Paul Quinton. "If you do, you'll be more H than cheated," says the Chief. "You'll actually be putting \ your home and your family in greater danger from fire by 3 depending on such gadgets. "The cheap extinguishers come in tin cans, aerosol cans and plastic containers. They may contain a liquid or a powder ? frequently baking H soda. "They're dangerous princi- ? pally because they just aren't m big enough to assure you can put out a fire in its first _ stages, and their reliability is N uncertain. That means the fire gets out of control, and the extinguisher user is risk- " ing his life." Unreliablesubstandard home w fire alarm systems are another item the National Fire j1( Protection Association has js warned about, said the Chief, u. "They are just as dangerous ar and perhaps more so, since they lull the home owner and t0 his family into a false sense of s} security. hi "For example, if someone di in the family smells smoke during the night, he may go hi back to sleep, confident that the alarm system would warn bi him if there were a fire in n< the house. Actually, the sub- si standard fire alarm system lc has failed its first test, and a dangerous blaze is already cl under way while the house- e; hold sleeps." The "gyp" alarm systems w most commonly sold in stores tc or by mail are inexpensive ol units operated by flashlight batteries or house current, or rr sometimes spring-wound. But ci other substandard ones, fre- si quently sold by house - to house salesmen, may cost sev- b eral hundred dollars. v. An effective fire extinguisher or home fire alarm, ir Chief Quinton says, will bear d the label of the Underwriters "< Laboratories or the Factory n Mutual Laboratories. This means they have been thor- o oughly tested for reliability. a: tl tl Sparky says: ? : M-w r M I V" v v a Before you buy any , fire extinguisher, ask your b Fire Department for advice t: r~Sh r |"T'aJ Don't live fire a place to start! ^ h 4 ail Early for "It's time to start planning ailings," Postmaster Bill Adaii 61 "Mail Early For Christm Looking ahead to what may ; the biggest Christmas sean ever, the Postmaster said rther, "Here are the things '?ik use imiMuia* deaia wm W Pitted ?"i The Family Circle letting Along tequires Inderstanding How well do you get along ith your fellowman?

Christmas packages for local destinations should be mailed by December 15th, and be sure to mail your Christmas cards for friends and relatives in this area at least a week before Christmas."
