More Fires In Winter Months, Chief Warns The next three months are the most dangerous of the year for home fires, Fire Chief Sam Beam warns. According to figures of the National Board of Fire Under writers, more fires occur in December, January and Febru ary than at any other season, chiefly because of heating haz ards. During these cold morrths furnaces, heaters and stoves are likely to be overworked and may not be adequately cleaned and repaired. Now is the time to protect your home against winter fires, Chief Beam pointed out, before any real trouble has a chance to start. Inspect your chimney and flues where many of the home fires break out. They should be cleaned and all cracks and holes where heat or sparks may escape repaired. The Chief said he especially wanted to warn householders never to “force” furnaces and heaters if they aren’t giving enough heat. There may be something mechanically wrong with the heating equipment, he said, or it may need cleaning, but forcing or overloading a furnace may cause a fire. Be sure combustible rubbish, newspapers and old magazines aren’t allowed to collect around the furnace, or any other heat ing device. One-third of all home fires start in the cellar, so keep it as clean from com bustible material as possible. Use a metal container with a cover on it for hot ashes. Rules For Safety A few other rules for winter fire safety at home are: 1. Place portable heaters where they won’t be knocked over easily. See that they arn’t placed against woodwork, cur tains, beds, or chairs. 2. If you’re having difficulty starting a fire in a stove or furnace, use several sheets of newspaper twisted together. But NEVER throw kerosene or gas oline into a stove to “quicken” a fire. Kerosene, when heated, can explode almost as violently as gasoline, setting fire to the house. 3. Don’t overload electric cir cuits by plugging in too many heaters or other electric appli ances on one circuit. Inspect your electric cords. If any are frayed, have them replaced. 4. Keep a metal screen in front of the fireplace so that sparks won’t pop onto clothes, furniture, or rugs.

STOREHOUSE FOR TOMORROW Within tha cones and husks of our mature trees are the seeds for forests that will supply wood to future gener ations of Americans. In these natural storehouses, our forests have their beginning and their perpetuation. However these seeds may be planted—while nature will sow most of them, some will germinate in scientifically operated nurseries—they will become vigorously grow ing young trees producing new wood for our many requirements. Nature provides the seeds for our new forests, but much of the responsibility for growth and protection of the young trees rests with humans. If our growing tim ber is to reach maturity, fires must be kept out of the woods. Proper management of our woodlands will pro duce high-quality trees. The young seedlings will grow faster if their future is planned with good forest practices. Trees are a crop, planted with the seeds from nature's storehouse. The forest industries, which depend on wood, are planning continuous production of trees, and encour aging all woods owners of America to do the same. Fairfield Forest Products Co. NEWBERRY, S.
