M. Houren of the village fire department. The letters will bg sent to every home in the village so that every one will know of the fire prevention cam- paign. Posters showing the danger of fires in communities will be placed in prominent places in the village and will be shown to the children in the schools. Talks to Children Chief Houren has requested that the teachers in the various schools devote a brief period during the fire preven- tion week to make suggestions on avoid- ing and preventing fires. In connection with Fire Prevention Week, Chief Houren has issued a set of rules for the storage of fuel oil. These are in conformity with the regu- lations established by the National Un- derwriters association. Where the oil tanks are in the basement of a house, the insurance rates are much higher than where the tanks are located out- side. The rules for the storage of fuel oil as given out by Chief Houren for Win- netka are: Rules for Oil Storage ) Open storage tanks in basements shall I not exceed 275 gallons capacity, with not more than 60 gallons under gravity feed.
