\X
\Vhl|e It , Is human (and by iio
means Inhuman) to err, und oven
news writers httve been known to
err, still the fact remains that the
most accurate source of current In-
formation Is the newspaper. Accu-
racy ••(institutes the' outstanding de-
sire of the newspaper man who hates
inaccuracy • and naturally becomes
more capable of obtaining Informa-
tion than the readers. <■
At this time of rather quiet con-
ditions relative to oil development In
tills locality, if one will pause long
enough' to dial the situation, he will
probably hear the distant >rumblings
of it' movement that may sooner than
many anticipate result In action that
will eventually mean a great deal.
Without a doubt there will be a
movement not far away from right
now when a program will be xtarted
by Orunge men With the cooperation
of fir* insurance fl«ent and the
bucking public, to curtail fire hazards
when jflres are built again to protect
the people from the cold when win-
ter shows up. This will all be to th'e
end that the fire riska with which
the insurers are penalized, will be re-
dnced along with the key rate which
will mean the saving of thousands of
dollars. '^'.'.'io
