During the past year, 1692.635,000 w?nt up in smoke, most of it in housing, buildings, food, raw materials and manufactured goods that are in short supply, states the National Board of Fire Underwriters. This loaa figure does not begin to include all the other indirect losses caused by the hundreds of thousands of preventable fires that broke out during the year. These 'other losses include forests and timber watershed, production losses, business failure, medical expenses, wages, tax values wiped out and fire fighting costs. whichPare the result of fire. Much of the fire destruction Is the result of the deterioration of h&ating systems and machinery, and the overloading of electrical circuits. In recent ^ears, shortages of repair parts and manpower have caused this deterioration; hence it is of extreme importance that every householdei and every propei ty owner keep close check on his heating equipment, and inspect fuses regularly to be sure that fuses are of proper irize. A major factor In most large fires is delay in notifying the fire department. Every citizen should learn the fastest way of calling the fire department from his home, office, school or ractory. Where feasible, automatic detection and alarm systems should be installed, particularly In large establishments. -ATTENTIONWATCH NEXT WEEK'S PAPER THIRD ANNIVESARY PARTY How to Save Water Losses Through Proper Irrigation " Six suggestions have been offered by F. J. Veihmeyer, irrigation professor, and A. H. Hendrickson, fruit tree specialist, of the Universtiy of California college of agriculture, to help farmers conserve In times of drouth. First, they say, remove all weeds, since they use a good deal of moisture. Second, don't plant annual crops unless sure there will be enough wamature then*;. -- Third, put on enough**wateF all at once to soak the soil as deeply as the roots go, rather than irrigating ofte..- er with shallower Wetting. One heavy irrigation will cut down the water losses in getting water onto the land. Fourth, irrigate early in the season to g ve the crops enough moisture. Lack of water hurts a plant more in early summer than late in the fall. Fifth, wait until the soil is almost dry before irrigating. When oroadleaved weeds wilt, the upper layers of soil are dry and it soon may be dry deeper down. Sixth, find out How much water in depth of application is needed and how often it should be applied for each crop. » I I l l H n < Newt Fren Wonder Lake «aa+o a By Vanessa SeSs Seventy-Ave Start . « - , Course In Swimming About seventy-five youngsters reported on Saturday morning for, the course in swimming offered J»y the McHenry County Red Cross.
