terrible'loss of life amounting!,,
o over It, 000 people burning nth
o aearn eacn year. -..
One person dies this__
‘errihle death every half
hour of the day.Every year
00,000 more are crippled
or in some way per
menantly disabled
by flames. A daily
loss of nearly ' /
nQQ00,000 dollars.
Most of these arc
fires occuring everj
nour in peoples noires^r
90% of the fires are’due to not- f
hing but carelesBess .Cigarette
and gasoline are "blamed for
a large number of them,_~
• It is not .iust the
loss of property, money,Files &
documents that cannot he re
placed, tha,t we’re worrying ahout^
That is had enuff. But the loss of
life is a far grea.ter bereavement.
But it isn’t even the loss of life
tnat is all tne troablE, • e are just as
r:;uch concerned as to the handicaps of
onose people wno nave to live sucn a
long life in their maimed condition,
'’or their case is more pitiful yet*
3 verybody probably 7/ants to keep fires
irom starting. It isn't enuff just to
wish & 7/ant, but to get results, WE
MUST WORK EOR EIRE PREVENTION & PRO
TECTION. Men can do this by puttin g|
out matches 8c stepping on cigarett s
butts* & women by not leaving flat
irons burning 6n the ironing borad &
on windowsills, & by being more care
ful with cleaning fluids. There are
several kinds nov/ on the market and
they should be used as they are much
hetter. Campers should put out. th 6
fires when they leave and autoists ,
should not throw burnigh cigarette s
out of the car. VTe know tjrat c v e ry
gpod American citizen wants to help
in this. SO GET BUSY 8c DO YOUR PART;.

Mr. JOHN PAULSON left Chitina recen
tly with his 2 horses'& wagon f ull
of harness for Gokona.He also took
one of HondelTs which will be lef £
on the Trail to work.
It was,a lucky thing that Mrs. GOR
DON BRANCH went to Cordova when
she did last Tus. train. For that
was the last train this little burg
will see for many dark & dreary mo
ons. We hope she is very happy and
will‘be even happier when she gets
back. Maybe someone will have' to
bring her back in an airplane,which
is getting to be a very common way
of traveling between the distan t ,
points of Alaska.
