MOKING materials carelessly used are among tile most
frequent causes of fires. Be careful in disposing of used
matches and cigarette butts. Keep matches out of tile
reach of small children. Never smoke in bed.
i
AKE no chances in leaving children alone in the house.
They might be trapped should a fire occur. Fires often
spread very rapidly. Save life first. Let tile fire depart-
ment save your property.
ILY rags or waste should be kept in elosed metal
wa'ste cans outside the house. Never hang oily mops in
a closet. The spontaneous ignition of oily rags has
been responsible for many serious fires.
REPARE for safety by using fire-resisting mater-
als wherever possible. Eliminate tile hazard of sparks
on wooden shingle roofs by usitig fire-retardant roof-
inK. Construct claimneys safely.
EAC!K everyone in the family to be careful of fire to
watch stoves, fireplaces, electric irons and all other
possible fire causes, and everyday to remove old rags,
papers and other rubbish.
OT aslles should never beplaeed in wooden barrels or
near wooden partitions. Use metal .barrels for ashes
and for rubbish. Covers on the barrels add to cleapli-
ness anO fire safety.
I NQUIRE of,your fire chief, when buying a fire extin-
guisher, to be certain of getting the right type. Know
wliat to do should a fire start. Never run with yore"
clothes ignited; smother the fire with a blanket or rug.
S END your clearflng work to the dry cleaner or use fire
safe cleaning fluid. !ever use gasoline or kerosene
to start or qicken a fire. • Flammable liquids cause
the greatest number of fatal home fires.

With over-cr0wding h o U S i n g
conditions in Shelton still existing
it is necessal7 for each family to
take precautions tO eliminate all
fire hazards that aturally result
from such onditions.
This week, October 6 to 12, is
set aside as National Fire Pre-
vention Week. It is" up to every

in helping to prevent fires and
eliminate loss of life and prop-
erty.
To date Shelton has a very low
fire loss and this can only be
maintained through the coopera-

loose brick, loose mortar, joists
too close to chimney, etc.
2. Defective wiring, such as
kots in cQrds, wire strung over
nails witholat proper instilation,
Cords strung under rugs, etc.
3. Do not have paper decora-
tions or combustible material

Shelton Valley
by Signe A. Kneeland
Election day has been brought
to mind as posters of numerous
carMidates are being posted in
the valley. Let's vote.
Miss Jean Baker, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Charley Baker. who
is attending, the Western Wash-
ington School of Education at
Bellingham, was home over the
wel r end.
• and Mrs. Rea Howry and
their young son John moved to
Rainier. Formerly they made
their home in lower Shelton Val-
ley. Mrs. Rea Howry is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. StelIa Holman.
Charley Cooke and W. M. Avery
made an'overnight trip across ttm
Cascades last week. M'r. Cooke in-
spected some land he acquired 16
years ago but hadn't seen before.
They saw some nice country but
neither are about to leave this
valley.
Mr. and Mrs. Corliss and their
son Larry, of Tacoma, visited at
the Slater home over the week
end. Mrs. Corlis$ is Mrs. Slater's
niece.
:Mr. and Mrs. John Kneeland,
their daughter Marie. Lotlise and
son Edward, called on Mrs. signe
Knee!and last }Vednesday.
Mr. arid Mrs. CarI Kimbel and
son Roy were guests at tile Alder-
brook farm last week end. Mr.
and Mrs. Tom Harris and daugh-
ter Pacldy aAso were callers on
Sunday,
Mr. and Mrs, Wayne Clover
spent Saturday evening with Mr.
and Mrs. Leg Spilseth of Moun-
tain View.
Tom Shljestad called on the
John Vincents one day last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Killough, of Day-
ton, were dinrier guests of Mr,

Walter Coo.ke' Sunday. lY[r. and

ther by driving to Lost Lake.
Later in the day the Slater f#m-
ily and their week end guests, the
Corliss family, also called on the
Cookes.
There is something new under
the sun as far as this valley is
concerned. Lee S!ater has a unique
method of calling his herd of
cows. He blows a srrlgll tin whis,
tle at a'distance of abo.ut a thous-
and feet, which start the cows
filing toward the barrl, a saving
of ttme and e;lergy. "
Mrs. Signe Knee!and arid three
Shelton friends, Mrs. Harry Mc-
Conkey, Mrs. Homer Dion and
Mrs. Dewey Bennett, picked huc-
ldeberries near Allyn Sunday.
