Fire safety

Safety first is the best rule for keeping fire out of your home and for escaping safely it if breaks out, says a government expert These rules for keeping home and family "fire safe" were devised by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development : ■Be sure everyone knows to leave the house immediately even when a fire is only suspected ■Put life safety ahead of everything — even ahead of calling the fire department ■Show everyone in your household the fastest ways to get out, and all the alternate ways ■Be sure all windows and doors needed for emergency escape can be opened easily from the inside ■ Familiarize everyone with which fire department to call it you live in suburb or rural area. ■ Carefully instruct your babysitters on what to do in case of fire ■ Gasoline should only be opened, poured and used outdoors ■Store all gasoline in either a UL-labeled safety can or capped metal cans in a shed or garage ■ Keep other flammable and

Special judge sets aside 1976 wetland charges

Special Judge Georgia C. Luks, Kosciusko County Court, has ordered that the verdict against Richard C. Firestone, Joseph D. Graber, Carroll E. Galloway, Lawrence Firestone and Jack Howard Francis be set aside and that a finding of not guilty be entered as to each of the defendants on all counts. The above named men, employees of Mary L. Mason, John C. (Jack) Mason and Richard €’. Ver Wiebe, were charged with illegal encroachment on the shoreline of Lake Wawasee. On May 3, 1976, R. Steven Hearn, Kosciusko Countys prosecuting attorney, charged the five men with illegal encroachment. Hearn’s actions were based on affidavits signed by Indiana Department of Natural Resources employees Carl Eisfelder, a wetlands biologist, and Dave Anderson, a conservation officer. On June 8, 1976, the defendants filed their motion to dismiss. That motion was overruled on March 21,1977. On April 18,1977, the State of Indiana filed a Motion in Limine. On April 19, 1977, the court granted the Motion in Limine and the defendants were directed not to “mention, refer to, interrogate concerning or attempt to convey to the jury any matter directly or indirectly related to the judgment rendered” in the Kosciusko Circuit Court in the case. The case was tried before a jury on April 20,1977. In said civil action, the Kosciusko Circuit Court found that “the plaintiff failed to prove that the defendants have threatened to or did change, alter, extend or disturb the shore line of Lake Wawasee or in any manner encroach upon the waters of Lake Wawasee." However, said court went further and found in its special findings of fact: “The filling and leveling operations performed upon said real estate owned by the defendants, Richard C. Ver Wiebe and Mary L. Mason, was performed exclusively on land owned by said defendants at least two feet distant from the shore line of Lake Wawasee and did not encroach upon the shore line or

How to keep your home "fire safe" combustible liquids either in their original containers or in tightly capped metal cans. ■ Never use combustible liquid to "freshen" any fire or to start a fire in a stove not designed for liquid fuel. ■ Test smoke detectors regularly, as recommended by the manufacturer (monthly, unless otherwise indicated) ■lnstall new batteries in battery-operated smoke detectors once a year ■ Regularly check all fire extinguishers and recharge them according to instructions on the nameplate ■Be sure all the fuses in your home are the proper size — 15 or 20 amps on general circuits. ■Test the circuit breakers in your home several times each year to be sure they don’t stick ■ Keep the insulation on all electric cords in good condition ■Check plugs and receptacles on all electric cords to be sure they are attache*! tightly and in good condition ■Check electric outlets and switch plates every six months to determine whether they are hot to the touch ■ Inspect your chimney each year to be sure there are no cracks or loose bricks.

waters of Lake Wawasee and did not change, alter, extend or disturb the shore line of Lake Wawasee with respect to the said real estate of said defendants.” Conclusions Os Law Judge Luks conclusions of lbware as follows: 1. "The issue decided in the prior civil action, to wit: Cause No. C-76-146 in the Kosciusko Circuit Court, was on an ultimate fact and the State was collaterally estopped to relitigate the issue of illegal encroachment upon the shore line or waters of Lake Wawasee. 2. "The Trial Court committed error in denying defendants’ motion to dismiss. 3. “The law is with the defendants, Richard C. Firestone, Joseph D. Graber, Carroll E. Galloway, Lawrence Firestone and Jack Howard Francis. “It is ordered that the verdict in this cause be set aside and that a finding of not guilty be entered as to each of the defendants on all counts.” Clergy number 1 “The profession which commands the more respect and prestige is the clergy, according to a survey of 6,500 adults by Trendex, a national research organization. Pharmacists were ranked second, followed by police officers, lawyers, public-school teachers, accountants, independent supermarket owners, state legislators, chain market managers, appliance store operators, factory foremen, grocery wholesalers, service station managers and door-to-door salesmen. “Now that I’m successful I’m trying desperately to lead the life that I used to live when I was unsuccessful." —Dick Van Patten “People criticize the way I talk, I should worry — I’ve made millions by not talking good English." —Eva Gabor
