School for Fire Fighters
Teaches Modern Methods
Dangling at the end of a rope
40. feet above Seaforth pavement
may seem to be a queer way to
spend a Monday evening. But to
Huron County firemen here to
attend one in a series of twice -
monthly firefighting classes, it
was just another lesson.
Back to school to learn to fight
fire all over again -this time us•
ing the most modern techniques -
firemen Monday carried simulated
rescues from a third -storey win-
dow in Seaforth's Town Hall. Us-
ing a tackle arrangement, rigged
from a 50 -foot the
in front of
the building, the firemen "saved"
their comrades clustered at the
high up window.
All the time instructors pointed
out errors in procedure that, had
they occurred in a real fire, might
have resulted in serious injury.
The practice was designed to
teach the firemen the fastest and
saiest method of removing victims
stranded by fire on the upper
floors of a building.
Twice a month, up to 50 fire-
men representing brigades from'
most Huron centres, have been
attending ,classes in Seaforth, spon-
sored by the Ontario Fire Mar-
shal office. The classes are to con-
tinue into July.
Conducted by Inspector F. C.
Anderson, the classes until now
have been devoted in the main to
the theory of firefighting and the
mechanical and chemical know-
ledge necessary to successfully
battle flames with a minimum of
danger to life and loss of pro-
perty.
During spring and early summer
the classes will be devoted to the
more practical aspects of fire-
fighting, according to Seaforth
Chief John F. Scott. In the next
few weeks, exercises using smoke
bombs and oil nit fires will be
carried out, as well as drills de-
signed to indicate the most effici-
ent use -of- hose, ladders and
pumping equipment.
The Seaforth school was organ-
ized by the fire marshal's office as
a result of representation from
Chief Scott.
"You can't learn enough about
firefighting if you are to do a

good job when fire strikes," Chief
Scott said, as he recalled why he
had pressed for the school. "No
matter how good we think we are,
there are always new methods to
learn ' and more efficient prom:
dures to follow: We wanted to
know, too, how to make the best
use of the equipment we have.
That's why I wanted to get people
here who could help us with
these things," he said.
Chief Scott said most brigades
were as anxious as Seaforth to
improve their standards, and that
was why it was possible to estab•
lish the school here. Centres tak-
ing part are those from Goderich,
Exeter, Hensall, Blyth, Brumfield;
Zurich, Brussels and Ethel. Chief
Scott said he has had requests
concerning the establishing of a
fire brigade in Dublin, and this
was being investigated. Dublin
now is within the Seaforth ftfire
area.

office, proves there is no problem in escaping from a third -floor
window. He is shown dangling on the end of a rope 40 feet above

Huron firemen's school here Monday evening. (Expositor photo by

AG. REP. WARNS FARMERS SHOULD
CHECK BEAN SEED GERMINATION
The blotter test, long a favorite
in determining white bean seed
germination, is not good enough
this year. According to D. H.
Miles, Huron agricultural repres-
entative, while some seeds this
year do start sprouts, they fail to
develop a normal heap plant.
Mr. Mites said the Plant Pro-
ducts Laboratory of the Canada
Department of Agriculture has
found that some seed is germinat-
ing only 75 per cent.
Warning that care should be
taken if a germination is to be
assured, Mr. Miles urged that only
`feed on which a proper test has
been taken, be used. The test rat -
ng appears on the tag accompany -
ng the seed.
"If in doubt of the germination
of your seed, sow 20 per cent more
seed. If you have been sowing 40

TYPICAL OF A SCENE long since passed from Seaforth streets
was the prize winning entry in the horse and buggy parade, spon-
sored by Seaforth merchants Saturday night. The entry is that of
Norman WIlliamson, while the passengers are Mrs. Dave Muir and
her twe children. Second prize went to the entry of Duri Hop-
per. The parade preceded by SDHS Girls' Trumpet Band, attracted

pounds this year. If the plants
come too thick and germination is
good. harrow to take out the extra
beans and control weeds also," h6
said.
The hot dry summer of 1960 and
the low moisture content of beans
at harvest time may have been a
factor in poor germination of
some seed this spring, he suggest-
ed.
