Advertising Representative: National Advertising Service i Autumn Arrives Unobtrusively and as quietly as a kitten h walking on a rug, fall arrived with all the grandeur of a Greek goddess. In the canyons and mountains the leaves on the tees changed from sharp green to a mellow orange; proud pheasant cocks strut with the pride of Spartans in their kingdom of ripe crops. Football players don their earless helmets and broad shoulders and proceed to knock heads and hunting dogs suddenly grow restless. Now is the time the hunter oils and cleans his gun and watches the skies for the flights of geese and ducks and contemplates the hunt for the deer. Suddenly, quietly fall is here, a new season is born and just as suddenly our lives make a sudden change. Saturday afternoons will be spent watching the favorite football team play. Sundays will be spent hunting, and when the crops are in and perhaps whether they are in or not men will journey to the moun-- ; tains and hunt for the bigger game. It is a wonderful time of the year that sees a whole new set of entertainment born. It i3 the time when the crops are harvested, taken to the market and sold. Childen start school again, meet new friends and learn. Only the native Polynesian or Californian who has never enjoyed the splendor of the change of the season from summer to fall could fail to understand the nostalgia of autumn. It is a refreshing time when life is suddenly cheerfulis regardless of all pressing. matters. It a fleeting season that pass-es into the past too soon. Theres hardly any resemblance between the bright young apprentices who do the swamping around a print shop today and, the printers devils of 20 or more years ago. Eut yesterday Andy, the job printer, had Dick, his helper, on the griddle. Andy told him you have to buy a $2 duck stamp and paste on the bill of every duck you shoot. two-inc- stay-at-ho- : Fire Is Inconvenient The annual toll of fire in loss of life, in in J i jury and suffering, in loss of ppopety and in and it has general inconvenience is huge tbeen increasing steadily in recent years. Last year the total property loss in fires in the United States was $715,000,000. That was the greatest national fire loss in history. 'Last year over 8,500 lives were lost by fire. .While the increase in loss of life has not .been so steady as the increase in property loss, here again the toll has been greater jthan before the war. There is need for a vigorous and persistent effort to combat this toll. Most fires could be prevented with just a little extra care. If we could just get all the American people alert to the menace of fire and watchful in regard to the more obvious jfire hazards in their homes, oh their farms we could and in their places of business Jnake sharp reductions in annual fire losses. Every citizen can and should do his part In the fire prevention effort by himself being fire safety conscious, and by supporting his local fire department and other lire prevention agencies in their work of combating the rising fire toll. : The fire prevention appeal should strike home to every citizen because it is in his own interest. Good fire prevention work tnay save him or members of his family heavy loss, suffering, even death. And it tertainly will save him money because successful fire prevention work means less fire loss and therefore low'er fire insurance premiums. It is in every respect a worthw hile project. fire-conscio- us n Were delighted to report that the German Shorthair pointer has been retrieved from the dog pound by Howard Call, whos going to try to fatten the pup and hae her trained and ready for some high class bird hunting come pheasant season.
