THE OBSERVATION POSTSo far, we have had threefires in the m,artmen tshere at Franconia, Allth ree fires have been inth e kitchen and all threehave started in the sameiden tical manner.

Oil was left to boil onth e range with the se ttingon Hi. The oil caughtfire and WATER was used totr y to put out the fire.As a resu lt, the firesspread enough to har thekitchens in all three cases.

Luckily, no one was in juredin any of the fires, although someone could easilyhave been badly burned.Fortunately too, the firedid nt sp read to any cfthe other rooms in theapartments.

Since many of us are un-Sfam il iar with th e electricranges we now use , ole asebe doubly carefu l whencooking. And has beenpoin ted out, be CERTAiN

you do& t heat fa t or oilwith the se tting on H I .Never leave a pot of fator oil on the range without your constant attenti on , no matte r what th ese tting , would be a goodru le to follow . Withsmall children in thehome ta king a good dealof your a ttention , itwould be a good id ea forthose perso ns to do aslittle deep fat fry in gas possib le .

Let CARE be th e motto fo rall of us in our apartments. CAREFULNESS meansSAFETY and ECONOMY fo rall of us.

(In case oil or fat shouldcatch fire, throwing handfulsof salt, or sim ilar substances,on it in order to smother itwould be a good procedure tofo llow. An immediate callshould be made to the super orto Herbert Charles atMU 2-1133.)

Continued from prei ioi&c page ABOUT YOUR COMPMINTSWell, we know that the majorityof shareholders are fair and reasonable, we answered, but we feel thatthey wo&t stand for a raise due tothe iegligenoe ad lackadaisical

attitwle of tnis small minority.alternative that we thought ofand which many people we spoke tare in accord is a system of finesand, perhaps, even evictions. It isa stern measure but the only fairone.When you put it that way, ourfriend exclaimed, I have to agreewith you.We made our point to our friend.

Mow about YOU? I J, S.AflOIJT OUR SANDBOXVarious opinions have been expressed concerning the sand boxes inthe playground area both favor

able as weil as critical.The reasons for installing andmaintaining the sand boxes are obvious they keep the childrenoccupied and amused. The peopleopposed to the sand boxes arguethat the surrounding areas aredirty, the children bring the sandinto the buildings and apartments,and they could be dangerous.An example of this last reasonwas witnessed not long ago whenone child threw sand into the eyesof another. Th e child wa s in extreme pain and had to be rushed tothe hospital. Fortunately noserious consequences resulted, butthey might well have.Opinions, pro and con, would bewelcomed, You can voice your su ggestions or ideas through this newspaper or through your House Captainvia your floor representative.

The Maintenance and Construction Coiittee reportsthat it has consolidated th eugestions of th e cooperatorsfr the lrroroved maintenancehe grounds and buildingsand that this list has beenturned over to Herbert Charles,ur managing agent, or estiiates and processing. Due tothe extent of the work, theeeresults have been slow inforthcoming. However, realprogress is expected soon,All further suggestions fo rmaIntenance and management

should be forwarded directlyto Mike Zipris, 3E, C Bldg.Although the notice Invitingmore women volunteers was posted , there has boon little response. The few women who havevolunteered have offered valuable help.Cooperators comp la in ts oflast month have been listedend are being broken dowry intovarious categories and classifications, Some the builderwill be required to take careof and the maintenace staffth e rest, The list is so voluminous that it is takinglonger than was expected

APOLOGESrThe two members of th e Board

of Directors who inconveniencedany o oerators on Palm Sundayby their monopolizing of theelevator wish to apo logize forthis seeming inconsiderateness,They were inspecting said elevator to insure that it wasoperating and being maintainedproperly (in other words, thatwe are getting what we are paying for) and Sunday is th e onlyday they have ava ilable fo rthis task,
