This is Fire Prevention week,
and so far, Perkins has done it's
share, not only this week, but
year 'round, to hold fires to the
minimum. In fact, in the town
of Perkins. the llimum happens
to be 0 fires for the year
Althou the fire dertment
has answered three calls for the
year. they have all been rural
arms. The first one was in the
Spring at tim Arthur home east
of Perkins. The second was in
June when a patch of green grass
caught on fire northeast of Per-
kins Then in August, firemen
took the rural truck northeast
again to douse a county grader
whose motor was on fire
This is good fire prevention

pared to the 37 fires last year

then you've got to. drive up every
alley in town trying to find him
If we don bring him though.
