Bonham, Ky., may 10, 1945
Mr. R. E. Galbreath:
A slight fire occured in the White High School Gymnasium Friday
evening, Hay 7, l945.
Fire alarm was given about 4:55 PI,
Cause:
The gymnasium was decorated for a banquet, A light on an eytension
cord mas fastened to the basket ball goal in the rear of the gymnasdum.
The cord extened from the rear door "EXIT" light, and was trapped
several times around the metal frane which suspends the basket ball goal.
The light was inside a card board box which served as a shade, and the
opening of the box vas covered with colored paper. Fire caught around
this light. The box around the light burned. The extension cord burned
in two near the light socket, The socket and globe fell to the floor.
The socket was oherred and ode side of the globe was melted. The goal
"baok stop" and the floor beneath the goal caught fire.
‘ Hr. W. C. Toore, who was in the builiing at the time, discovered
the fire. All doors leading to the gymnasium were locked. It was
necessary for him to break out a glass in the door leading from the
Home Economies room to the gymnasium in order to get to the fire.
The fire was extinguished with one fire extinguisher.
Damage:
Approximately $25,00.
Suggestions:
Extension cords should not be fastened to or wrapped around metal.
Colored light globes should be used to produce light effects. Paper
should not be used for this purpose, nor to shade lights. We keep on
hand a variety of colors with which we will be glad to color globes when
globes of the desired colors are not available.

voun Larvae gsgfszol Fire LOSS *    
White School Building Gymnasium
Thank you for your letter of May llth informing
us of a slight fire which occurred in the Gymnasium of
the White School Building on May Yth, and resulted in
damage estimated at $25.00.
As you are probably aware, a considerable part of
the property at Benham is carried at our own risk insofar
as loss or damage by fire is concerned. However, a few
items of property at Benham have been insured with outside
companies, and the White School Building is one of them.
In the case of a very small loss on insured property,
it is not really practical to file a claim, as the clerical
work required of both the Insured and the Insurance Com-
panies is hardly warranted by the amount involved. If
the present loss is to be only $25.00 or less, we feel
it is too small to be presented to our Insurance Companies
as a claim.
We do, however, very much appreciate your prompt
notice of loss and would, of course, file claim against
our Insurance Companies if the amount of damage were not
so small.
