I. Fire Marshal Wallace
reminds everyone that the
first minutes of a fire are
the factors determining
how much damage will
be caused. Most home
fires occur when people
are around: therefore if
the proper equipment is
at hand loss can be kept
to a bare minimum. He
suggests that every home
should have a small type-
portable fire extinguish-
er in one or more loca-
tions around the property
to be easily accessible
when a fire is first de-
tected. He also cautioned
that even though a home
extinguisher is brought
into use the Fire Depart-
ment- should immediate-
ly be called as a security
measure.
Fire Marshal Wallace
said fire safety is every-
one's responsibility and
basically starts with the
property ow ner. The more
precautions taken, the
lower the risk of fire,
and in turn the amount of
fire loss penalty everyone
has to pay through
insurance premiums.

31 rattlesnakes turned in

come from people who are
disenchanted. This stage
of retirement is charact-
erized by indecision and
floundering and, often,
irrational thoughts and
action. Depression and
the development of som-
atic problems may in-
tensify and one's estimate
of his or her worth and
purpose in life may begin
to be a prevalent theme.
Fortunately, for many
who pass through this
period of the retirement
cycle, only mild frus-
tration is experienced,
then a re-grouping and a
movement toward stabil-
ity.
Fortunately, there's
hope! Reitrees should
recognize that retirement
is not nirvana. It is life
continuing minus 8 hours
per day on a job. Honey-
moons are fun (and even
more so) if you accept the
fact that they will end and
have prepared adequately
to meet the routine of
everyday living. Every
vacation ends, as yvell as
jet flights and the new car
all too soon becomes old.
The excitement of retire-
ment can be experienced
unending, however. First,
you have to keep yourself
involved to the extent
you can. When you
ready to help. Life is too
short to spend most of
it feeling blue. And be-
sides, the community-
is better off when ypu;
are. 1 know I've made if
sound all too simple and
it often isn't. But it is not
impossible!
Next yveek we'll deal
with a happier theme of
the retirement cycle - re-
orientation and stability'.
In the meantime, make
yourself and someone
else happy by doing some-
thing for someone!
See you in seven.
