Have Future School Fairs Been Considered?
and Bayfield children .go to Bayfield
Fair, It is conceivable that some bitter
controversy could arise unless some sol
ution can 'be found long before fall fair
time next season.
It is to be hoped that the boardTor
Huron Centennial School will realize
the importance of allowing each chilcl
the privilege of associating himself
with his' own home community, We can
easily see the. wisdom of combining
three municipalities for the purposes of
education, but we strongly recommend
that the personal aspects of it, such as
the question of fairs, be resolved by re
membering that boundaries hold pride
and kinship for those inside.
Perhaps it will ibe costly for the
board to permit students a half-day to,
attend either Seaforth or Bayfield fall
fair — grants will be affected, bus
schedules will be interrupted, teacher’s
plans will be upset, confusion will
reign -— but surely that is a small price
to pay for harmony between school of
ficials and the residents of three com
munities.

FEDERAL Member of Parliament
Robert McKinley raised a valid point
at Bayfield Fall Fair recently where he
expressed the hope that children at
tending central schools would not be de
prived of an opportunity to participate
in the fall fair of their choice,
There was ample evidence this year
that students at Goderich Township
Central School had been encouraged to
take part in the Bayfield Fair. Exhibit
tors from that school were keen: their
exhibits were prise winners in many
instances. Therefore, consolidation it
self needn’t affect children’s participa
tion in fall fairs.
Problems could arise at Huron Cen
tennial School, now under construction
just south of Brucefield. Unlike Gode
rich Township Central where the chil
dren, all from one township, have al
ways • attended Bayfield Fair, Huron
Centennial School will educate young
sters from Tuckersmith and Stanley
Townships as well as the village of Bay-
field. Tuckersmith students are affili-'
ated with Seaforth Fair while Stanley
October — Safety Drive Month
or cords run over the ceiling,' you are
taking a fire risk. Vibration in the
floor above jars the wiring below and,
if the staples are not insulated, they
could -wear through the covering on the
wiring, causing a short circuit and pos
sible fire.
Almost half of the fatalities in the
home are caused by falls. Stairs should
be kept clear of clutter; children’s toys,
and other items. Have sufficient light
ing, so that the edges of the steps can
be readily seen. Broken steps should be
repaired, and frayed carpeting mended.
All stairs should have a hand rail.
Small rugs on floors, especially
waxed floors, are a hazard. Children
and elderly persons are prone to trip
or skid on them and talk Try a rubber
matting or anti-skid coating. If this
doesn’t work, tack them down. Water
and 'food particles spilled on floors
should be wiped up immediately.
Keep garage floors, driveways, and
work shop areas clean. Wipe up spilled
grease or oil immediately.
Avoid unsafe acts. Don’t use boxes
or an unsteady chair linstead of a ladder
or step stool. Never use an electric ap
pliance near the edge of the kitchen
sink, or a portable heater, hairdryer, or
other such equipment in the bathroom.
If the appliance has a defect, you can
electrocute yourself if you touch it
with wet hands or let it touch .some
thing wet while you handle it.
- You’ll probably think of other un
safe acts and conditions to watch for.
Getting children involved in the project
teaches them good safety habits. Habits
which, when practised over and over,
become automatic for the rest of their
lives.

OCTOBER, the “safety drive”
month, clean up moWh, and get-ready-
for-winter month is with us once again.
Did you help to make it a success last
year or did you let it slip by? The
“safety drive”’ needs your help.
Organize a safety squad in your
home. Get the children involved and
let them take turns checking the house,
garage and yard for unsafe conditions,
and make a report, with recommenda
tions, to Father or Mother. It will be
an interesting and educational game
for them and you may be surprised at
some of the unexpected unsafe condi
tions they may discover.
Start inspections where convenient.
What about the basement? Are papers,
boxes, and waste piled near the furnace?
Heat radiated from the furnace is ab
sorbed by such accumulation and caus
es spontaneous combustion. Get rid of
the rubbish. Check furnace pipes. If
traces of soot show at the joins, the
pipes may not be properly fitted or may
need cleaning. The heating system
should be checked and overhauled, be
fore winter weather sets in. Combust
ible materials, such as oils and clean
ing compounds, should be stored in air-
' tight containers and kept in a cool
place. Keep weed sprays, insect eradi-
cators and other poisonous compounds
stored on a high shelf out of reach of
small children.
Check all electrical equipment,
especially those in the laundry room.
Proper grounding is vital where elec
trical equipment is used near water
pipes; taps,, tubs, and damp areas. If
the lighting iih the basement is make
shift, and depends on extension wiring

Fire Prevention Week Goal
FIRE PREVENTION time has
come around again, as -this week we
observe Fire Prevention Week.
In thousands of towns and cities
across the nation there will be addresses
on fire prevention in schools, service
clubs, and other organizations.
In many communities, teachers are
taking their students to visit the local
fire department station house to see the
fire apparatus at close range, and the
firemen who man the equipment.
Amazingly some people will ask
why we observe Fire Prevention Week
every year.
The answer is simple. Three out of
every four fires are the result of care
lessness. By using ordinary care, we
can prevent fire from happening. And
if we do that, Fire Prevention Week will
have been worthwhile. —Facts for Fire
Prevention Week.

DON’T PUT your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington, put her in a
bank 'instead. There’s a shortage of
tellers in Canadian banks and salaries
are now at a record high notes Gerald
Fitzpatrick in The Financial Post.
Five years ago an 18-year-old girl
just out of high school could expect to
start at $45-$50 in any of the chartered
banks 'in Toronto or Montreal — less
in other cities. Today, she could expect
$65-$70. Working conditions have im
proved tOOv
Today’s bright, spacious and often
air-conditioned branch premises are a
far cry from yesteryear’s cold, impris-
oning cages. Tellers today work an
average 37-hour week, and get time-
and-a-half pay for any time worked
over 40 hours. Five years ago there
was no overtime pay. Basic reason for
the shortage is the vast increase in
bank customers in recent years, the
growth in the number of branches, and
the resulting need for more counter
staff.
“Ten years ago a lot of workers
used the bank once or twice a month to
cash their pay cheques,” one Toronto
banker said. “Now they open bank ac
counts and come in several times to
withdraw cash.”
