With so many dry windy days,
grass and brush fires are a con-
stant hazard. Every effort
should be made to prevent caus-
es of these fires. Always use the
ash tray In your car or truck,
watch trash fires near the
house. Orass fires have gotten
out of hand the past two weeks
on the Owens pUtce; tlve miles
out op the Moline road and on
the O. O. Smith place neaq
town.
From 1949-53 a total of 12.6W
people lost their lives on fanas
due to accidents. Four major
causes of the accidents were
machinery 31.1%, drowning!
129%, firearms 12.7% and fall*
11%. Animals, burns, blows,
electric current, lightening and
others accounted for 32.3% com-
bined.
Most of these accidents could
have been prevented by “good
housekeeping” around ouf
farms. Tractors and other farm
equipment should be kept In
good repair. Power lawn mov-
ers are extremely dangeroac
when proper precautions art
not taken. Hoes and rakes lag-
lng around can be dangeroas.
■ Inadequate electric wiring cadg-
es many house and barn fire*.
Whatever the hazard may M,
now to a good time to clean up
the garage, the shop and otter
farm buildings, check all power
equipment, put up fire preven-
tion signs, fix the back steps,
and many other jobs which mag
prevent that fatal accident or
that expensive doctor bill.
