Phone 87 SEELTON-MASON i CO JOURNAL 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 advertisements of these merchants and businessmen: William Gra- ham of Union, the Lumbermen's :Mercantile, Bill Pearson and Os- car :Mell, Carlo Hardware, :iV[.

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.

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.
