Darker Fall Days
Add To Highway
Driving Dangers
The fall season may bring many
deaths on :Mason county highways
according to public officials con-
cerned with traffic problems.
The months of September, Oc-
tober and November colectively
netted 11.,558 deaths due to motor
vehicle accidents in 1941. they
say, and this year's accident rate
appears likely to surpass the '41
mark. Last year only 9,300 deaths
were reported for the fall months,
but the specialists point out that
now there are many more auto-
mobiles on the roads and a good
proportion of them are in poor
operating condition.
Accident statistics show that a
defective velicle was invQlved in
17 per cent of the fatal accidents,
with defective brakes, improper
light, and poor tires constituting
nearly half of the defects.
Last year 2,510 persons were
killed in auto accidents during
August and 2,830 lost their lives
in September, an mcrease of 320.
The major reason for this is the
increase in hours of darkness, the
safety specialists say. Drivers
who during the spring and sum-
mer go from office to home in
daylight often fail to" realize that
it gets dark earlier with the ap-
proach of winter and that with
more night driving the danger
from lessened visibility increases.
To make things worse, most of
the additional night driving dur-
ing the autumn months is done
between 5 and 7 p. m., when traf-
fic is at a peak and motorists are
impatient to reach home.
As an aid to motorists wishing
to avoid trouble during the next
few months, the Safety Commit-
tee offers the following sugges-
tions:
Watch out particularly for pe-
destrians. Death among pedes-
trians in traffic make up more
than 40 per cent of the traffic
fatality total for all .months com-
bined. Like vehicular traffic, pc-]
destrian travel is heaviest during
I
homeward-bound hours, .and pe-
destrians are just as anxious to
get home as motorists. Be espe-
cially careful at inter§ections.
Slow down at dusk. This will
compensate for reduced ability to
see and make stopping or man-
euvering out of trouble easier.
Remember also that accidents
tend to be less severe at mod-
erate than at high speed.
Have your headlights inspected
and if necessary adjusted, for the
weeks ahead will call for inten-
sive use of headlights. Turn on
the parking lights earlier, so that
other motorists will have no dif-
ficulty in seeing your car.
Watch out for wet leaves and
for wet places that may have
frozen over with the coming of
darkness.
If possible, plan to return home
a little earlier. With the quickly
descending nights of fall and win-
ter, 20 or 30 minutes often makes }
the difference between driving ]
home in daylight or after dark.
Patrol To Launch
Car Lights Drive
A drive will open October 12 in
:Mason county and throughout the
state to pick up motorists failing
to dim their lights for oncoming
motorists and drivers who use
spotlights illegally, according to
State Patrolman Don Walker.
hours of darkness
Increased
with the coming of winter months
has prompted the patrol to give
additional attention to defective
automobile lighting, Walker said.
He pointed out that it is never
legal to use a spotlight when the
vehicle is in motion and that even
when the car is stopped the light
may never be flashed left across
the highway dividing line.
According to State Patrol
Chief H. W. Algeo, Olympia, traf-
fic accidents have killed 415 per-
sons on Washington highways
this year. He predicted the figure
will reach 600 by December 31.
OLIVER BISHOP ESTATE
Judge Wilson set the time of
the hearing of the final account
and report of the executors of
the Oliver Bishop estate and for
settlement and distribution of
said estate for Saturday, Novem-
ber 9.
APPRAISERS APPOINTED
Judge Wilson signed an order
appointing Lee CeNSor, John Si-
mops and Ed Wilson appraisers of
the John J. Johnson estate.
PROCLAMATION
Because of the interest shown in pre-
vious years, and the civic good resulting,
I, as mayor of Shelton, do proclaim the
week of October 6th thru 12th as FIRE
PREVENTION WEEK, and earnestly
urge the people of the city of Shelton to
observe this week.
Real fire prevention means not only
the elimination of fire causes and accu-
mulations of rubbish, but good building
construction and the installation of ap-
proved fire extinguishing equipment.
Each year the life and property loss
from fire in this coultry, has shown an
increase over the prewous year. The
need for real fire prevention work is be-
coming more and more apparent, not
only to fire department officials, bt to
the general public. The majority of peo-
ple are willing to correct unsafe condi-
tions and eliminate unnecessary fire
hazards when called to their attention.
Shelton's losses from fire have been very
small. Let us keep up this fine record.
F. A. TRAVIS,
Mayor, City of Shelton.
AUTHORITIES, BUSINESSMEN
OBSERVE FIRE PREVENTION
Because fire plays a dual role Prepp's Drug Store and J. Er-
in tie life of mankind, that of
master and destroyer, authorities
have been moved to create Na-
/tional Fire Prevention Week. Dm'-
ing the Week of October 6 to 12,
Fire Prevention Week will be ob-
served in Shelton, :Mayor F. A.
Travis has issued a proclamation
, calling upon all citizens to ob-
serve the week by practicing
safety in and out of home, office
and factory. The watchword is
"Be Careful and You'll De Safe
Be Insured and You'll Be Pro-
tected."
Fire Chief T. E. Deer pointed
out that, "The fire department
will make every effort to illus-
trate the dangers of fire, and is
making special appeal to every-
one to help prevent fires."
On these two pages readers are
invited to inspect "carefully the

ere, W. A. :Magoon, Lawton Lum-
ber, D. B. Case, Taylor Radio,
nest Crane.
Proclahned by Many
Fire Prevention Week has been
proclaimed by the President of
the United States and various gov-
ernors and mayors of practically
every state and city in the union.
It will be observed throughout the
natipn by civic, business and fra-
ternal organizations, industrial
and mercantile establishments,
schools and churches.
A hazard which takes thous-
ands of lives annually in this
country and destroys millions of
dollars worth of property is a
hazard which deserves the serious
attention of every man, woman
and child, here and everywhere.
k continuation of educational
programs in fire preventive mea-
sures will go a long way in cheek-
iRg deaths by fire and reducing
the enormous property losses in-
curred.
Everyone Helps
The housewife, the merchant,
and the manufacturer can great-
ly aid the fire department by the
observance of common sense safe-
ty rules. Even though covered by
fire insurance, remember that
there is nothing that can pay for
a lost life. To control fire' and
prevent devastation may cost a
little time and perhaps some ef-
fort but that little may save a
life, a home, a town or a city. Be
careful--STOP FIRE !

Know What To Do
Before Arrival
Of the Firemen
There are different types of
fires, many having their origin in
the home owner's carelessness, and
therefore preventable. But once
fire starts, every man, woman or
cifild should know what to do to
combat it immediately.
There are three different kinds
of.fire --insurance experts call
thegn class "A," "B" and "C"
Class. A fires are those which
occur in ordinary combustible ma-
tezals--paper, wood, etc. Class
B fires are fires in inflammable
liquids--grease and the like. Class
C fires are those which break out
in electrical equlpmentwizng,
etc.
If it is a Class A fire that you're
fighting, use water and plenty of
it--provided you're not afraid of
causing damage by soaking the
furnishings in your home.
When you come to Class B fires,
you have a much more difficult
problem because a stream of wa-
ter may do more imrm than good.
Such fires ummlly involve oil or
grease in some sort of container.
This type of inflammable liquid
fire has to be Smothered. You
can do this smothering physically
--for instance, by using a blan-
ket or a pan cover. Oi , you can
do it more scientifically with spe-
cial extinguishing equipment.
You may use watdr 5n oil-soak-
ed rags or a small oil spill fire,
but it's best to use a fine spray
of water, not a heavy stream.
The Class C fire--the electrical
fire--must also he smothered; but
here you have an added hazard.
If you squirt a hose ,on burning
electric wiring, the electric cur-
rent will run back along the wa-
ter stream and may knock you off
your feet; if the voltage is high,
it may kill you. So you must use
an extinguisher agent which will
not carry an electrical charge.
Coast Guarders Hold
Rate Under New Rule
A change in the procurement
policy for Class V-6 U. S. Naval
reserve for Inactive Duty now au-
thorizes otherwise qualified ex-
members of the U. S. Coast Guard
to enlist or reenlist in that pro-
gram in the rating held on date
of discharge or separation from
the Coast Guard.
Enlistments in the V-6 Inactive
Naval Reshrve may be made at
the U. S. Navy Recruiting Sub-
station, in the Old Capitol Build-
ing in Olympia or at the city hall,
