In conjunction with Fire Prevention Week, to be held from Oct. 8 through 14, homes and businesses should be inspected, keeping the firemen busy to prevent possible disasters causing loss of life and property. Often, when fires occur in the home, it is because of lack of knowledge of what is dangerous and could begin a fire. One such item that should be checked are coal and g stoves that are becoming popular with homeowners as the cost of fuel keeps rising. Many are putting these in on their own without checking to be sure that they are properly installed. Why not call the fire department, who will be glad to make it a part of their rounds, to check to be sure yours is installed so as not to start a fire two to three years down the road. Often, these type of stoves dont ignite a blaze suddenly turned on for the first time, but if the flume is improperly placed next to wood, when heated continuously throughout the winter months for two or three years it will dry out the wood enough to ignite it with the least resistance. . . 25th-50t- h (Editors . . . . publisher .

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (when roots entirely fill the pot and are in contact with the inner surfaces of the container), but plants which have grown outdoors in- plots are accustomed to plenty of soil around them and can adapt more readily to growing in pots indoors if the containers do not constrain root growth. Try to retain as much of the soil as possible when you dig it up. Also, plant it in a pot as quickly as possible to prevent roots from drying.

The fresh air comes in the form of a mayor who is sincerely interested in John Q. Public. A citizen can pick up the phone and call in a complaint or suggestion and expect to be treated with respect and courtesy. The mayor may not agree with us but he is d enough to listen.

Mayor Townley tried to get some change made to better handle the animal control problem, but to no avail. It seems it is more offensive to some of our councilmen for some ladies to have beauty shops in their homes than to allow half the dog owners in the city to let their dogs run loose. At least they are more diligent in seeing one law is enforced than the other. The councilmen know good and well the present dog or- dinance has never been enforced as it should or could be, maybe it should be put on the ballot like some other issues have been lately.
