emergency which might arise. All
willing to do their share of this work
are urged to register at the Clare
county Civilian Defense office on the
second floor of the Jackson Meat Market building.

"Blackout" Lowrey sang the story.
The audience "tfent into hysterics over

The County Rationing Board has recently been informed that users of
mud and snow tires, who would like
to take them off during the summer
; months and replace them with regular
tires, and who would be eligible for
either a new or retreaded tire, cannot
be granted an order until their present tires are worn out. The present
jTire Rationing Regulations prevent
such users from doing this since they
already have on hand as many spares
as are allowed.
The rubber experts have considered
at length the advisability of allowing
these people to take off their mud and
snow tires, and secure new or retreaded tires for the summer months. They
j have decided that such a step would
not result in any significant conservation of rubber, since mud and snow
tires are similar to regular tires, except that they have a heavier tread.

Fire prevention—the cleaning out of
attics and cellars—the preparation of
the home for any emergency—will do
much to aid the nation's defense,
Lawrence W. Jackson, chairman or
the Clare Council of Defense, declared
today.
"Even though we have an excellent
fire department, emergencies may
easily arise where self-help would be
most important, such as when the fire
department is engaged at another fire
at a distance, or delayed by storms, or
otherwise prevented from responding
promptly. Ample experience has
proved that haphazard efforts of unorganized fire lighters, however well
meant, will not control a fire as well
as planned efforts.
"We like to think. that incendiary
fire bombs will not fall on our homes,
but no one can be too sure of that, A
rain of incendiary .bombs might easily
destroy whole areas, of a city or valuable forest lands or. individual homes.
If attics are cleaned outfit there is no
place where such bombs' can catch,
they may be handled comparatively
easily by streams',of. water, ancl no
great damage .done.
"Every Householder can determine
right now the location of fire hydrants,
of alarm 6oxes, of hose equipment, of
tiro pails, .extinguishers or water
tanks, for use in emergencies. A check
of the home will reveal chances for
improvement, we are sure, Oily rags,
dirty closets,, piles pf magazines and
newspapers, are _Ire hazards. A little
elbow grease—and. we can not only
prevent .fires, but salvage much
material—scrap irori^. waste paper, and
the like—badly, .needed: for defense.
Fire prevention works two ways, you
see.
"Fire prevention can be carried on
in our Btores and offices, as woH as
our homes. In rural area* fire la'the
great destroyer. Most flren are noa-
gxcriskble,' • Preventing' fires is 'something* we can ah :dp jtof fle'tefle*,,"   •
