Fire Underwriters
Publish Revised
Prevention Code
NEW YORK — The National
Board of Fire Underwriters has
announced publication of its new
ly-revised model Fire Prevention
Code.
Safety engineers and fire pro
tection authorities have declared
it to be one of the most important
codes a city can adopt. They point
out that it provides the necessary
safeguards a community must
take to protect life and property
from the hazards of flammable
and explosive substances and the
many occupancy hazards found in
every modern community.
Helps Fire Departments
The board pointed out that mu
nicipal fire departments are in a
position to render further valu
able service to their community
in 'fire prevention activities, but I
to be effective in this activity
they need the backing of a suit
able fire prevention code. “Few
cities are in a position to prepare
a code of this nature, so that a
suitable model fire prevention
code is the answer to their needs,”
the board declared.
Everett W. Fowler, director of
NBFU’s division of codes and
standards, who supervised the
compilation of the code, urged
every city which does not have a
comprehensive up-to-date fire pre
vention code to adopt this new
one. He suggested those that have
an earlier edition of the code to
replace it with the new one.
“The uniformity which would
result from such widespread use
of the new code would benefit
everyone concerned,” he said.
Free Copies Available
Copies of the new Fire Preven
tion Code may be obtained free by
persons having an interest in the
code as well as by committees
considering local codes.
Copies will be supplied on re
quest to the board at 465 Califor
nia St., San Francisco 4, Calif.
The National Board of Fire Un
derwriters furnishes sufficient
free copies to any municipality
adopting the code to care for their
official needs and supplies addi
tional copies in such quantity as
may be desired at a price less than
the cost of publication.

Alaska Visit Planned
By Portland Chamber’s
Washington D.C. Manager
Nine Alaska communities will
be visited in August by Harold
B. Say, who for the past six years
has been manager of the Washing
ton, D.C., office of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. Say’s 15
day tour will take him to Juneau,
Ketchikan, Anchorage, (Fairbanks,
Nome, Kodiak, Palmer, Valdez
and Seward.
The Portland Chamber execu
tive plans to' meet with business
and government leaders in each
community and to discuss prob
lems of Alaska relating to the na
tion’s capital as well as matters
involving Alaska and Portland in
terests.
During his six years in Wash
ington, Say has played a key part
in the Portland Chamber’s efforts
to enter the Alaska market in a
substantial way, and has testified
at numerous hearings concerning
steamship and air service between
Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.
He has also gone to bat for Al
askan business firms having prob
lems with the government.
One of the main objectives of
his trip, according to Say, is to let
the people of Alaska know that
the Portland chamber’s Washing
ton office is open to them. He re
ported: “We want your business
men to feel that our office is your
office and to invite you to make
use of our services at every op
portunity.”
Say will be traveling primarily
via Pacific Northern and Alaska
Airlines and persons desiring to
contact him are asked to check
with the district traffic managers
of those two lines in the cities
which he will visit.
Leaving Portland Aug. 10, Say
will visit Juneau and Ketchikan
before leaving for Nome. He is
scheduled to arrive Nome Friday,
Aug. 10, at 12:25 p.m. with Alaska
Airlines, and depart Nome the
next day at 12:55 p.m.

U.N. Prisoners Will
Get Reading Kit
As Welcome Hotne
MUNSAN, W) — As he steps
across to freedom, every U.N.
war prisoner will get the news
that Joseph Stalin is dead and
Dwight Eisenhower has moved
into the White House.
And he will learn that Joe
Louis has hung up his gloves and
Rocky Marciano is now the
champ.
The Allied Command Tuesday
night released contents of a read
ing kit which will be handed to
all U.N. captives as they are re
leased by the Reds at Panmun
jom.
Inside the tnanila folder are
three illustrated booklets and a
“welcome” letter from Gen. Mark
Clark, U.N. Far East commander.
One booklet tells the prisoner
in capsule style what the outside
world was doing while the sol
diers sat in North Korean stock
ades.
The first entry date is June 25,
1950—the day the war began. It
closes with June 13, 1953, when
Jimmy Carter retained his world
lightweight crown at Madison
Square Garden.
A second booklet, bearing the
blue and white U.N. globe and
the words “welcome back,” leads
off with Clark’s letter, outlines
the situation in Korea and the
events leading up to the signing
of the armistice.
The third booklet opens with a
letter from the 8th Army com
mander, Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
welcoming his returning men and
then spells out, step by step, the
processing each repatriate will
receive on the route home.
This booklet ends with bold
black letters “Bon Voyage!”
