BILL PEARSON District Agent OSCAR MELL Local Agent /+ : nNSUnAHCE S T 0 P T 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.

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.
