Office Equipment I - -I FIVE RULES REDUCE RURAL FIRE LOSS This destructive farm fire might have been brought under control if a sufficient water supply had been near at hand. Many times firemen responding to an alarm can do nothing but watch homes and barns burn because water supplies are inadequate. Tt FEW PRECAUTIONS taken during Fire Prevention Week, October 9 to 15, will help prevent minor farm fires from developing into "total losses," the National Board of Fire Underwriters says. Farm fires lake 3,500 lives and destroy $100,000,000 in property each year. To prevent your farm or your neighbors from becoming- a fire statistic, the fire experts suggest these five steps to fire safety: 1. Learn how to call fire depart ment. Be sure that you know which department will respond to alarm from your farm. Write in structions for calling department and post near phone. 2. Keep extinguishers hung in prominent places.

Mr. and Mrs. Matt Midkiff tions regarding inspection and re filling. Hang a card on each ex tinguisher listing types of fires on which it should be used. 3. Be sure water supply is suf ficient. 4. To help your neighbors, do not try to use phone after you hear fire whistle. Often the telephone operator has the job of contacting volunteers. If you are on a party line and someone is tryins to re port a fire, hang up. 5. If you hear about a fire in your area, dont try to race the fire engine to the scene. Help out by filling all available mill: cans with water, and then drive to the scene. The water can be used to fill the booster tanks of the fire trucks. At the fire, do not park on the THIS PETTV WiU BY BROWN LEE YATES Which is the smoe, labor or capital? This week we review a book on each side of the worker-management dispute: "Strangled Slave" and "Cough Up, Capital." by a couple of "hack, hack" writers. Prefatory remarks are by Wind sor Knott, author of "Insic'e the White Collar." "Cough Up, Capital," con tending that labor is gagging capital, was printed minus part of the alphabet. The letters AFLCIO were out on strike. Through coercion by union bosses, the title page of "Strangled Slave" (contending that capital is gagging labor) was smuggled by printers into the other book. It was neat literary picketing. Between labor and capital the main gulf is terminology. Before they see eye to eye, they must speak with the same tongue. (A rather difficult trick. Did you ever see two guys hand a tongue back and forth?) Labor calls for a 20-MIXUTE work week; capital wants a 20 DAY work week. Until they re solve the difference between MINUTE and DAY, the two factions will remain alienated. Economists call it "alienation f the factions." Other slight differences: Labor would like a no-day work week Capital counters with a no-pay-daj work week. Labor asks for pen sions and welfare funds. Manage ment would rather relinquish t couple cf vice-presidents. Laboi suggests a fact-finding board. Thi; is OK with management if th board consists cf Taft-Hartley. Both books are appropriately bound. "Cough Up, Capital" is covered vith morocco, tinted , with gold. It is embossed with cool-blue dollar signs a cool million.

Joan Kropp of Lnicoln spent the week end with her parents, r road, near buildings, or near anj water supply source. In many areas, companies operating large oil or milk tank trucks cooperate in bringing water to fire scenes. Volunteer fire companies in some areas have organized women's aux iliaries which help fire fighters by preparing refreshments and serving them in the fire area. In Lapeer, Mich., a number of milk cans are kept at the fire sta tion at all times, filled with water. After the fire truck responds to an alarm, the milk cans are loaded on a city truck, and driven to the fire. This means an additional 200 to 300 gallons of water, readily available. A sprinkler truck carry ing 500 to COO gallons is also used. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kropp.. Supt. and Mrs. Norman Krong and daughter were guests at a family dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. R.
