OPEN MONDAYS & Phone 696-2818 SUBURBAN FREE CONSULTATION “If They Wrecked It — He u Correct It” Robert Appleby, Franklin Township fire chief, today issued a plea to all area residents using wood-burning stoves for heating during the cold season to insure the safety of their homes by taking precautionary measures before putting their woodburning stoves into use. Appleby used statistics of the Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company season in emphasizing the need for the precautionary measures. “Ninety per cent of the housefires in the Franklin-Northmoreland Townships area, which is served by the Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Company, resulted from Improper installation or failure to take the necessary steps to insure safety when using the woodburning * stoves,” Appleby stated. In pointing out some of the precautionary Appleby cited the following as necessary: 1. Be sure your chimney is free of soot and sap, which comes from burning of ‘green’ or unseasoned firewood. If there is any question of your chimney being clean or safe, call in a chimney sweep. 3. Be sure the necessary asbestos back and floor boards are installed under and behind the woodburner stoves. An overheated stove or spark could cause grief, Lisa Kelley was named queen of the annual home- coming game and dance for Dallas Senior High School Saturday afternoon during: the half-time festivitiés in the Wyoming Area-Dallas football game.
