One week, each year, is de
signated as Fire Prevention week.
Fire prevention ./ ok for 1941 is
dated Pet. 5 to 11, it should be
one of the nest important check
ups of the year, on every farm in
the Valley.
Insurance companies have re
ported that throughout the United
States, there is an annual loos
of ^100,000,000 from fires on
farms, this includes barns,
houses and other buildings on
the farm site, live stock, mach
inery and numerous other items
found on every farm.
According to a recent re
port received at the Extension
office a barn on somebody's farm
burns every twenty minutes, day
in and day out the year round.
Because of the importance placed
on the production of agricultural
commodities in the present De
fence Emergency, the Defense
Heads are very much concerned
over fire looses taking place each
hour. Damaged machinery can us
ually be replaced in a compara
tively short time, but the re
placement of a producin_ cow re
quires the bettor port of three
years.

ROAD COMMISSION ROTAS
A now gtool bridge L- ving an
eighty foot span has just boon com
pleted over the Little Susitna
River on the Fishhook Roac.
Motorists are cautioned, to
beware of soft shoulders at this
point.
Due to the many accidents
that have occurred at Bodouborg
Crock Bridge, new bright yellow
road signs have been erect> d
cautioning the motorists to go
slow, and it is rumored that a
man with plenty of authority may
bo stationed in that vicinity to
sec that motorists watch their
Istcp-on-it.
The Road Commission had hop
ed to be able to bridge Bodonbcrg
Creek at a location a few yards
downstream from the present struc
ture, eliminating the sharp turn
at the end of the bridge, but a
lack of funds will necessitate
a postponement of this work until
next year.
Practically all road con
struction in this area will end
November 1. Funds for this work
having bee .mo exhausted.
Certain road building sup
plies for use next year have been
placed, and will enable th:- Road
Commission to start construction
work at an early date in the spring.
Some bridge and rock work is
expected to be carried on during
the winter on the missing link bet
ween the Richardson Highway and
the present end of construction.
