The total property loss, as given by the Dominion 'Fire Commissioner in Ottawa, was only $397, which works out at a per capita loss of less than 18 cents, This com- pares very favorably indeed with the per capita loss of $4.00 for the whole of the Dominion of Canada. The cit- izens of Wingham were well paid for the care which they must have taken in fire prevention during the year and it is only through ceaseless care that fires are prevented. In Canada in 1946 there were 55,- 400 fires with a total loss of $50,000,- 000, In addition to this _great mater- ELECTRIC FIXTURES Dominion Electrohome Mantel and Console RADIOS McGILL .

The number of fires of unknown origin was 6,569. With proper precautions most of these fires could bade been prevented and, the terrible loss of human lives would have been much less. Fire is a good servant but a terrible master and it -must be controlled at all times, The use of common sense could save the people of Canada much personal grief and appalling property loss, The many different ways to increase safety from fires all add up to one vitally important thing, "BE CAREFUL". And above all, never forget this most important of all safeguards: "Never leave young children alone." Be care- ful of all fires at all times! * * * ONTARIO FORESTRY POLICY CHANGE The Ontario Government has an- nounced a ten-year plan to end pulp- wood exports to the United States. This will give a tremendous impetus to the controlled development of Nor- thern Ontario and to the economic growth of the whole Province. The plan has vision and logic to recommend it. The termination of pulpwood ex- ports can mean as much as $50,000- 000 new revenue for the Province by 1957. 700,000 cords of pulpwood have been cut for export in each of the last two years, If unprocessed pulpwood has a value of ,only half a cent a pound, while processed 'wood is worth four cents or more, it will be a tremendous industrial advancement for the people of Northern and Northwestern Ontario to process the wood at home. In terms of newsprint, this is roughly the equiv- 1 alent of 600,000 tons-nearly half as !much as all the paper produced in On- I tario mills in 1945. I By reducing exports in stages over la ten-year period, the Government has I wisely given the industry-and cur- i rent importers in particular-time to provide the needed capacity to handle i the increased supply of pulpwood. The ,districts of Thunder Bay and Coch- rane will feel the good effects immedi- ately since they now supply 75 per cent of the pulpwood cut for export, I and in the whole of Northern and -Northwestern Ontario industrial ex- pansion can 'be expected to increase proportionately over the next ten years. ,Instead of receiving only stumpage 'dues and cutters' wages, Ontario will now reap all the benefits of processing. This new forestry policy will aid the planned development of permanent in- dustry-in Northern Ontario, which will enable the area to absorb and maintain a much larger population. * * PARENTS HAVE RESPONSIBILITY Parents should make certain that their children are given the protection medical science has provided for them against diptheria and whooping cough.

To assure this Province a prominent place in domestic and foreign trade markets, skilled hands are needed. In training schools and ON TIIE JOE, veterans are king taught how to make furniture- urgently needed for homes that must he built here and abroad. They know that higher wages, job security and better working conditions are within easier reach of those who have mastered individual skills. Through plans sponsored by the Department of Veterans' Affairs and other,agencies, hundreds of veterans have been given basic training in various trades. They will become more proficient with further experience and training ON TIIE JO,B. Taught to nse their hands in fashioning 'wood products and in upholstering and finishing furniture, these craftsmen of the future will have a share in Ontario'sprogress-an important part to play in her industrial development.

Diptheria is still a serious menace and especially so to children between the ages of six months and six years, If the child is protected by the dip- theria toxoid after the age of six months, he or she can be saved front grave illness and perhaps death, Whooping cough deaths are mostly among infants under one year of age. Proper immunization can be provided by the family physician or at one of the many health centres available, The whooping cough death rate last year fell by more than 50 per cent under 1945 and in diptheria the number of deaths last year was 229 against 270 the year before. All parents should have their children immunized against these dread diseases, The responsi- bility rests with the parents. Don't fail in your responsibility, parents! * * WEEKLY THOUGHT Learn to meet your friends with a smile; a good humored man or wo- man is always welcome, but the dy- speptic is not wanted anywhere, * * * KNOW WINGHAM The Master Painter is busy with his brush painting the marvellous Autumn masterpieces again.
