Singly, his hat is that of a serviceman,
a sportsman, a man of the sea, a scout-
master, a businessman, a cowboy, a farmer,
a construction worker.
Put the hots together — and what have

The Clinton Fire Deportment
Every week fire strikes at more the
Canadian homes.
In terms of dollars that means a yearly lens of more
than $30,00D,000, although the typical house fire
averages under WO in damage.
Gut the truth Is that three quarters of all fire deaths
occur in those homes, And not only death, tar hun..
dreds of Canadians are horribly burned and often
permanently scarred in these fires.
fires rarely just "happen"! Nine out of every ten
fires are the result of carelessness and neglect.
Don't let neglect and carelessness cause fires in
Clinton.
