Fire Prevention
Month Emphasized
October has been pro
claimed Fire Prevention
Month by Johnnie L. Clad
well, state fire safety com
missioner.
“Over 70 percent of the
people who died in fires in
1979 died in their homes,”
Caldwell said in making his
declaration.
Georgia Fire Prevention
Month is observed annually
in conjunction with fire pre
vention week, which is Oct. 5
-11 this year.
“Georgians need to work
together to stop the annual
destruction of lives and
property by fire,” Caldwell
said, “and the best place for
our citizens to observe fire
safety is in their own
homes.”
The commissioner added
that 138 persons lost their
lives because of fire in
Georgia in 1979.
“Many of these deaths
could have been avoided by
observing fire safety precau
tions,” he said.
Caldwell’s office listed the
following tips to protect a
home from fire:
contest, canoe races, bingo,
auction and rodeo.
Sunday, Oct. 12. More
arts and craftd, apples and
products and a second ro
deo.

DOT Views Billboard Control
The Georgia Department
of, Transportation unani
mously endorsed the DOT’S
efforts to control billboards
along the state’s highways.
Meeting in Atlanta, Sept.
18, the board took its action
after commissioner Tom
Moreland noted that two
DOT employees had been ar
rested and another threat
ened with a bomb during
initial efforts last week to
enforce the state’s new bill
board law.
“We don’t need to put our
people out there unless we
have the full support of this
board,” the commissioner
said. “This is not as enjoya
ble a task as building roads,
but it is a job we must do.
“The federal government
says Georgia has more ille
gal billboards than any other
state. I don’t know if this is
true or not, but we did al
most nothing for so long that
we got very far in the hole.
“We are not commencing
the task of taking down these
Inspect furnaces and fire
places in the fall.
Most importantly, each
family should have a fire
evacuation plan. It should be
well-rehersed. The plan
should have alternate evac
uation routes from the home
and each bedroom. Doors
should be tested for heat be
fore they are opened. In
fants, the elderly and
invalids should have some
one assigned to help them.
Gather at a predetermined
meeting place outside the
house.
SILK CARE
Pure silk garments are
beautiful, but they require
special care, according to
clothing and textiles
specialists with the Exten
sion Service. They recom
mend dry cleaning unless
the silk is labeled “hand
washable.” When drying a
silk garment, place it flat to
prevent stretching it out of
shape. And press silk with a
dry iron; steam ironing can
leave spots.

Herschel Bryant, adminis
trator for the Federal High
way Administration in
Georgia, told the board the
state’s program is the mini
mum possible to keep fed
eral aid funds from being
cut.
“We’re concerned about
all aspects of the Georgia
DOT’S control of its rights
of-ways, including billboard
control and tree-cuttings and
poisonings.”
In other action, the board:

former owners of property
north of Ponce de Leon Ave
nue which the DOT pur
chased for the proposed, but
never built Interstate High

of the city of Atlanta that

former owners a chance to
