' ','1''i T i The terrible Chicago fire of brought home to America the great destructiveness of fire in our modern society. It was not surprising that a few years later there began the annual observance of a Fire Prevention Day, since broadened to an entire week, always observed In October so as to include the anniversary of the start of the Chicago fire, which was Oct 9. This year, Fire Prevention Week began Sunday, Oct. 6, and Saturday, continues through Oct. 12. The week has been proclaimed by the President of the United States, by the Governor of Utah and by many i mayors. There are many aspects of fire safety which deserve emphasis . during this week, but In the smaller cities and towns of Utah it seems to us the emphasis should be on the work of the excellent volunteer fire departments on whom the smaller com' munities and rural areas depend so much for fire protection. We owe much to the work of the 82 volunteer fire departments irf Utah Including our department here in Brigham City, and to the 1250 men who give so unselfishly of their time to training and fire fighting. One thing we owe these volunteer fire fighters most of all Is our.vwn cooperation in preventing fires. We can help make their task easier, at the same time we save ourselves from fires destructiveness, by cleaning away accumulations of rubbish, by guarding against defective , chimneys and flues, by avoiding the carelessness use of matches and tobacco, by watch, ing for defective or overloaded electrical equipment, and by limiting the use of combustible cleaning liquids, As we observe Fire Prevention Week this year let us join thanking our volunteer and professional firemen for their 1871 i a services, and at the same time promise our full cooperation in avoiding the many unnecessary fires which take such a heavy toll of life and property. . 8 Box Eder NEWS Brigham City, Utah Wednesday, October 9, Courtroom Problem The WINTON, N.

Call From Okinawa Fire Destroys Landmark at North Brigham : A long recognized landmark north of Brigham City the Harold C. Day home, burned to the ground in a spectacular pre- dawn fire Sunday morning. The Brigham City Fife Department was summoned to the scene "at 5:15 a.m., but were unable to save even a portion of the once beautiful summer home. Flames had completely engulfed it before they arrived. In less than an hour the blaze 'completely destroyed ,the entire house and nothing remained but a smoke blackened fireplace with its tall chimney 'rising into the sky over the smouldering rubble. To most of the curious onlookers, it was the fitting end of an old, wornoUt house which for several years had stood as an eyesore to the community. How' ever, to some who remembered, it brought memories of a depar -ted grandeur and gaiety that existed during the 20s. The home was acquired by the .H. C.Day family in the early 1900s to be used for a summer home. Members of the day fam ily were principal stockholders and managers of the - Ogden .Portland Cement company, thriving industry located north-.wes- t of Brigham City on the north end of the Great Salt Lake alkali, flats. Between 30 and 35 years ago, -- the house was an imposing white frame structure, two stories high with a wide screened veranda that ran the entire length. Spacious green lawns spread in every direction, broken only by the round colorful flower beds, curved driveway and white "tennis court The colorful ranch style home became a show place in this area. People J would1 drive for miles to catch a glimpse of its well kept lawns enclosed by an old style rock wall fence. When fire swept the cement plant and burned it to the ground, in the early '30s, the property was sold. The plant was closed and never rebuilt and the ranch house left to the' ravages of time. It is presently owned by -- Herbert Snow of Salt Lake City. Tells Son's Birth - ' A telephone call from wa Oklna- - last Tuesday morning, Oct. 1 from Lt. (j.g.)
