Keep your door shut tight if the wood feels hot. It's too late fur the stairs, so all draughts choke; Get out by the window or you'll he caught, KEEP DOORS SHUT If you waken and smell smoke, don't get in a panic and jerk open the bed- room door. First feel if the door is hot, and, if it is, then keep it shut tight to check all draughts. When a fire gains sufficient headway it spreads very rapidly. The fire does not creep from one inflammable object to an- other. It leaps and it explodes. 11 creates enormous expansion of gases which make their own draught, carry- ing smoke and fire up open stairways When the bedroom door feels hot it is too 'late to escape by the stairs. Three-quarters of our dwelling fire deaths occur upstairs from downstair fires, simply because heat rises. When a fire get under way, superheated air and combustion gases ranging from 800 to over 1000 degrees in temperature, quickly flood the upper hall of a house. The air in the stairway and hall rises from 70 degrees Fahrenheit to 1000 degrees or more with startling rapid- ity and there is no chance of living in this superheated and explosive air. Death from, smoke, burns and deadly carbon monoxide poisoning awaits any person foolhardy enough to try to use the stairs now. Instead, leave the door closed, es- cape by a window, if possible; or at least yell for help front the window. With the closed door between you and the fire, you have every chance of sur- viving until help comes. If the door doesn't feel hot and there is. no pressure of gases against it, then it is probably safe to try to ecape by the stairs:- But, close every door that you use and shut off as much draught posible. If all doors and windows are kept closed the advance gases will be bottled up for quite a few minutes, and there will be more chance of sav- ing the house from total destruction. It FARM INCOME The income of the fanner is not Commensurate with the labor of the. farmer. According to latest estimates Canada's agricultural labor force • (which includes fartners and farm workers) is about 26 per cent. of the total labor force of the country, Far- mers, excluding farm workers, have normally received no more than 10 to 12 per cent of Canada's national in- come. The total farm labor force making up one-quarter of our national labor force is rewarded by no more than one- sixth of the national income. The war economy brought sonic relief to the farmers but that may prove transitory and the pre-war shift of the national income to the other economic groups may continue, Farming has become so unprofitable and unattractive that the rural popul- ation decreased by 5 per cent during the war years. Some means must be found to place farming on an equal footing with other vocations in life, With the modern farm machinery and , conveniences, farm life can be more attractive than city life, if financial turns and working hours are at a par, Some means oftstabilizing floor and ceiling prices of farm commodities on a parity with the prices of all other commodities must be found. Then farming will once more become the preferred as well as the basic indus- try and art in our country, * e INTEREST RATES Money circulation has increased about five times since the start of the war and deposits with the commercial banks have about doubled in the same period of time, This suggests a price pressure on the limited quantity of available goods, leading to an undesir- able rise in prices. An increase of interest rates would result in the reduction of the volume of money in circulation and stabilize or reduce prices. It would be of great financial assistance also to people whose income is derived solely .or in large part from interest on investments or bank savings, and it would encour- age savings and investments, '5 * • WEEKLY THOUGHT A worthwhile New Year's resolution is to renew the friendships that have been allowed to grow cold through ne- glect and the passage of time, New friends are good but old friends are best. Start the New Year right by writing interesting letters to your old friends from whom you have drifted apart as the years and miles separated you. They'll 'be glad to hear from you. If some of your almost forgotten old friends, live near you or within easy motoring distance, drop in and surprise them, They'll be happy to re- new the old friendship with you, and you'll both have a wonderful time living over the "days that used to be". Life's greatest boon as the years fly past is old, tried, tested and proven 4t. KNOW WIZMHAIVI Wingham is 'very fortunate in having several outlying districts within. the town limits, that could be developed into splendid residential districts, One such district lies north 'of Water street and Bristol Terrace, It is bound- ed by Josephine .street on the east, Arthur greet on the west and North street Lipei on the north, It con- tains over 35 acres and part of this area would make a fine park or fair grounds, It would also be en excellent school or industrial site. * CANADIAN CITIZENSIIII? The Canadian Citizenship Act, pas- sed at the last session of Parliament and proclaimed last Dominion Day, July 1, came into force as the last stroke of midnight heralded a New Year, Jan. 1st., 1947, Canadians auto- matically became for the first tune, full-fledged Canadian citizens. Previous legislation described perm- anent residents of the Dominion silly, ly as British subjects. Their pees, ports, naturalization papers and similar documents described them in this way. Now the new act is in force, residents of Canada are not only Canadians but also British subjects. The new status applies to all native- horn Canadians, British subjects domi- ciled in Canada, brides of Canadian servicemen and all those who now pos- sess naturalization certificates. Women who marry Canadiensowin qualify for citizenship after one year of residence, non-Canadians who have served in the Canadian armed forces outside Canada will qualify after one year of such ser- vice, and Canadian women who marry persons of any other nationality will be able to retain Canadian citizenship', if she wishes. The act also sets forth grounds upon which citizenship may be forfeited. These include enlistment in the armies of a country at war aginst Canada, tre- ason, and absence of more than six years from the country or for more than six years without renewal of pass- port.
