Flag service

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: The symbol of freedom and democracy on all patriotic observances and national holidays, our flags should be displayed with pride and dignity. The American Legion takes this responsibility~to display the flag on our streets throughout the year. At times, it is not possible, due to weather conditions. We are now experiencing the problem of no flag holders at some locations’ due to the fact that the city has removed the parking meters (to which the flags were attached). We now place the flags in front of the businesses, using the holes where the meters were cut off. During winter months, these holes are covered or filled, making it almost impossible to place the flags We sometimes use wire to tie the flags to utility poles Each year, a Past Comrrlander visits our merchants, to collect a

110 donation for flag service, a tradition that goes back many years. However, we find some merchants who are reluctant to donate, and some do not want the service at all all. This money donated Is earmarked for scholarships awarded each year to a deserving graduate. Letters received from these graduates speak of their gratitude for the scholarship, and the flag program of the American Legion. We appeal to the merchants to make this program work by using the flag service and donating the money to help our young people in their pursuit of an education. We also appeal openly to the City, to help resolve the problem of the flag holders. We must work together to accomplish this program and to carry on this great tradition.

Fire Chief DON ABEL

With the heating season fast approaching, now is an ideal time to discuss some Of the problems that can arise when hosting with wood. Almost every year, the Nappanee Fire Department is called to homes to put out Bros which were caused by either woodburning stoves or overheated chimneys. Perhaps the most unfortunate thing about most of those Area is that they could have been easily avoided in the first place. While the woodburning stove manufacturers Installation instructions should be followed when installing a new stove, there are some general guidelines that should be used. Wood burning stoves radiate Intense heat so precautions must be taken to allow at least 96 inches between the stove and any combustabie materials. Even bricks or stone faced walls will still conduct much heat and should be kept at the 29” distance. The floor whore your stove will sit is another area of concern because of the intense heat. Unless the stove will sit on a concrete floor, protection, such as one-fourth inch asbestos mill board in conjunction with 24 gauge shoot metal, or masonary blocks must be provided er you could find your stove one floor below where you installed It. Flue pipes should be kept at least three times the pipe diameter away from combustabie ceilings and walls. If you are using six inch pipe, you should keep the flue pipe at least 19 inches from ceilings and walls. A ventilated thimble mould be used where flue pipes must pass tßrough walls or ceilings, the thimble should bo three timeo the diameter of the flue pipe. Chimney flree are usually a result es creosote buildup caused by improper coni oust ton iroin ouroing weed. Several things can cause creosote buildup: burning freshly out or wot weed or burning wood too slowly. Only dry seasoned weed should be used and the fire kept fairly hot, as the meet creosote buildup can occur on cool damp days and nights rather than cold days and nights when you normally fire the stove hotter to keep warm. Finally, chimneys should be checked and cleaned every year by a qualified person and repairs to defective chimneys should bo made Immediately. Many times, people leu us they bad been having problems with their chimney or wood stove, but Just put off doing something about It. New is the time to check your chimney and wood stove to Help avoid an unsrtisdidsrt visit from your fire tepaftwset.
