Although the majority of hunters exercise the proper precautions when they use firearms, there are always many unfortunate accidents to mar this great sport. Families, have been saddened by the loss of a loved one and occas- ionally an entire community will mown as a result of the carelessness of some hunter who does not seem to realize just how dangerous a weapon he is carrying, There is scarcely anyone who is not IN THE RUSH to designate weeks to fur- ther the' cause of some particular project, the really important ones may tend to be over- looked. By Royal Proclamation at Ottawa, October 5th to 11th has been designated "Fire Protection Week." It is alarming to learn from the Proclama- tion that in the last ten years 534,777 fires in Canada have destroyed property valued at $542 million. In that time 4,087 persons have lost their lives and it is estimated that at least 15,000 others have been seriously injured as a result of fire, What the Proclamation' cannot show, of course, is the number of lives that could have been saved; the value of property that could have been protected; if a systematic inspection had been made beforehand of all conditions likely to cause or promote the spread of fire. Apart from the obvious inspection of pub- lc buildings; fire drill in schools, factories and offices; education in fire protection in schools, to boy scout groups -.and the like; every householder can be e voluntary fire warden by checking his own home for fire hazards. An obvious place to start is in the base- ment with the furnace pipes—a frequent cause of fire. And the average basement is cluttere ed with inflammable material that serves little purpose except to add fuel to a potential fire. It's best out on the town dump. Faulty electric switches are best replaced; they're worn out anyway and can be a fire hazard. An open fireplace without a guard— particularly with children around—is an un- necessary risk. A faulty chimney can bring fire-producing sparks. The modern home is full of labouresaving devices and comforts which in good condition are harmless, but worn out or faulty, can spell disaster through fire. Yes, "Fire Protection Week" is one week that should be taken seriously, A couple of hours spent by every householder in checking possible fire hazards would be amply repaid by a reduction in fire losses in Canada. And fire protection brings ease of mind: acquainted with the dangers associated with the hunting season, yet each year the death toll from hunting accidents is mute evidence of how the use of firearms is abused, Two such cases have been reported already in On- tario with most unfortunate results, It is not the gun that is at fault but rather the man who operates it. If all of us who enjoy this sport will make certain that our firearms are used with the utmost care, there should not be any hunt- ing accidents. Don't forget—YOU can take some person's life, so BE CAREFUL AND we'll all LIVE.

FUTURE HOCKEY STAR Goderich added another import to its hockey roster at 4.30 a.m. Friday, September 12, when Young Billie Newcombe made his appearance at Alexandra Hosp- ital.

Time was when a mouse could be absolutely certain which were fourteen-year-old 'boys, (ever so quick with sling shots and small stones) and which were the fe- male counterparts, (apt to rise screaming to a table top at the sight of a wee small mouse), But now! Why just the other day, over on Rattenbury Street West, I was ambling along, paying no mind :to my surroundings, except to admire a pretty little girl who was walking down the other side of the street. She was dressed in a pretty, ballerina length dark skirt, which shimmered a little as she walked. Her red velvety jacket was belted to a smooth waistline. Trim black hair was cut in the approved short fashion for summer, and the prettiest pearl earrings dangl- ed from small shell-like ears. Her make-up had been ap- plied with care, and ruby lips and smooth pink complexion made her a beauty to behold. I had just heaved a small sigh and wondered if a new hat could possibly do anything at all for Molly's appearance, when sudden- ly the air was rent by a mighty yell and small rocks began to fall startingly close to my head. After I'd gained the safety of a hedge, I looked back to see what- ever had happened. Do you know, that pretty little girl wore knee length rubber boots, and the stones were being lifted expertly • CHIROPRACTIC D. H.

That little girl was certainly the best shot I've ever seen. An uncle of mine over on Princess Street tells me that all these boys in girls' cloth- ing are the product of some tradition at CDCI called In- itiation. Seems they let the new first formers have about two months to get sort of acclimatized so they're not too easily frightened from the halls of education and then for a week all the seniors at- tempt to make the young ones hate the place. Uncle says that way back in his time they were doing it, and it is ever so hard to get a tradi- tion like that stopped, Each class of students that gets initiated is so put upon that it feels entitled to take its wrath out upon some future class of first formers, and therefore it's a sort of tribal custom of People which goes on and on. Winter seems to be just outside the door these days'. Grey skies, sudden showers, and dampness underfoot do nothing to take the chill from the great out-of-doors, and we are glad to have the back shop in which to warm ourselves. Anywhere within sev- eral feet of the metal pots makes a comfortable haven for a small mouse. Let the leaves turn brown and the puddles freeze, we'll be happy here while the field mice freeze.

The• loss of even one adult beast is a serious blow, es- pecially at today's Market price of cattle and consider- ing'the cost of bringing that animal to marketable size. These losses due to Shipping Fever can be greatly reduc- ed if the farmer can treat sick animals at the first sign of infection. Early treatment with effective medication is vital if the an- imal is to be saved. We have recently received a shipment of Nixon's FEV- REX, a product specially de- signed to treat shipping fev- er. FEVREX is a concentra- ted solution of the various sulfa drugs found most ef- fective in treating Shipping Fever. FEVREX is easy to use, you just mix it with milk or water and drench the animal twice daily for two days or until the Ship- ping Fever subsides. Don't lose valuable animals this year with Shipping Fev- er. Keep your eye on your herd during the Shipping Fever season and keep Nix- on's Fevrex handy to treat infected animals at the first sign of disease.
