Last month, 17 persons, 11 lolf them children, died by fire, and millions of dollars in property went up 1p flames. More fires occur in the bit- ter cold of winter when stoves and fur- races are overheated. Eternal vigil- ance and carefulness with fires are the price of safety. Either that or risk bearing the agonized screams of tiny helpless children in the night, trapped I dying the, most excruciatingly painful death imaginable, in fiery holocausts in Ontario during the year 1947. Undoubtedly, carelessness is the ma- jor cause of fires. Under that heading come faulty equipment — ,damaged stoves and furnaces, dirty or decrepit pipes and chimneys, overheated stoves and furnaces, gas explosions, unattend- ed fires, faulty wiring, accumulations of greasy rags ,ashes in other than metal containers, matches left where children or mice can get at and ignite: children left unattended, unbutted cigarettes left elsewhere than in metal or glass ash trays, etc. Be careful! -Make certain there is no carelessness than can, poss- ibly cause a fire in your home! * * * 'UNEMPLOYMENT INCREASING The Bureau of Statistics reported at Ottawa recently that new cases of un- employment recorded among persons holding unemployment insurance cards increased by 31,193 in December, compared with the previous month, and were 21,099 higher thin hi December, 1946, December claims totalled 79,- 849, against 47,372 in November and 69,086 a year ago. This included re, vised claims—existing claims being re- considered—totalling 6,271 in Decem- ber, against 4,987 in November and 6,- 607 a year ago. Ordinary claims on the unemploy- ment register at December 31 rose to 94,525 from 59,555 November 30, and 84,374 at December 31, 1946. Regional centres handled 63,887 claims in De- cember, of which 46,846 were granted and 15,784 rejected Persons paid one or more claims totalled 69,079 for a value of $2,544,796, compensation for, 1,315,282 unemployment days, This compares with 45,106 paid $1,655,397 for 813,780 days in November and 68,- 825 paid $2,508,116 for 1,268,847 days in December, 1946. Average length of unemployment rose to 19 days in December from 18 in November and 18,4 in December, 1946. Average benefit paid totalled $36.83 in December, against $34.48 in November and $36.44 a year ago. Average per day was $1,93, against $1.91 in Novem- ber and $1.98 in December, 1946, events that he predicted would occur in the sixty-nine weeks have all been ful- 1 filled literally to the letter and aii=e no'.v W0,116.1 history, but the events he pro- plaesied for the seventieth week are still in the future. In Daniel's prophesies the hiatus or between the sixty-ninth and seven- lefeti: weeks is our present Gentile Age, Dnring the sixty-nine weeks (483 ars:, the Jewish race was still in the CIGARS SMOKER'S SUNDRIES MAGAZINES Haselgrove's SMOKE SHOP Holy Land, but because of their sins— rejecting Christ—God dispersed them throughout the whole earth. That entieth week he foretells certain world events that arc now occurring. These i signs show that.the present Gentile Age must be near its close and the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy soon to lie ushered in ((Daniel 11:40 and 44). A few short years ago these events all appeared far in the distant, unfore- seeable future, but now they are happ- ening with breath-taking rapidity. Daniel prophesied that there would be at least four great world powers on the world's stage in the days just preced- ing the seventieth week, The Second Great World War saw the emergence of the "Northern Confederacy or King of the North", the ever mightier Soviet Russia, which is even named in Ezekiel 38;3. A few short years ago, who could have forseen that Russia would control Eastern Germany, Poland and most of Eastern Europe—as foretold in the Bible? Or who foresaw the Federation of the Arab States, the "King of the South", as a great world power, in our time—a thing which came to pass a year ago last spring? Daniel foretold it and he also tells about a growing power in the East, which could he the mighty United States—which is 'East of Asia—or the populous Indian States which have just won their freedom. And, of course, in Daniel's seventieth week—still future—the Roman Empire is the other world power, just as it was in the sixty-ninth week A few years ago who foresaw the Roman Empire revived as a world power (Daniel 2; 40-43). But the emergence of Soviet Russia as an aggressive, Imperialistic Power with unlimited ambitions has forced the Western European Powers to consider a federation: It has become a choice of unite or perish. Winston Charchill's Fulton speech of nearly two-years ago showed the trend of events; the Mar- shall Plan verified the trend and now Britain's Foreign Secretary Bevin's great conception for a union of West- ern Europe, economic, military and perhaps political, shows that the cul- mination is not 'far off. When it be- comes a fact then the Roman Empire will have been revived as Daniel'pre- dicted 2,500 years ago. At the same time, the Jewish Nation has to be back in the Holy Land for the seventieth week of Daniel's pro- phecy. That has been coming to pass for some years now and this year they are to become a nation again. Can any sane person doubt that the prophetic Word of God will be literally fulfilled to the very letter in the future, as it undoubtedly was in the past, and as it is taking place before our very eyes today? The signs of the times otell cis that these are momentous days, but still more momentous days are just ahead. * * * AN ASTONISHINGLY GOOD IDEA Dorothy Thompson says in .'On the Record", Globe and Mail: "Yes, what I propose is astonishing. Imagine en- tertaining the idea that any one under the control of an institution should be de-controlled, or suggesting that a man's body is his own to take where he pleases! We would be moving back- ward, away from "progress" toward the time when there were no passports, and people went where they wished, to seek a job or admire the scenery, and if they didn't find a job or like the scenery, picked up and went elsewhere. Dreadful to begin to return to such a dark age! For is it not the New Ideal that everybody, eventually, should be "placed"—in a work brigade, an area, a camp—under boards to feed, police, and indoctrinate him?

Bible students have always found the book of Daniel a treasurehouse of prophecy. Over 2,- , 500 years ago Daniel foretold the events that now are taking place rap- idly on the world's stage. His proph- ecies cover a seventy-week period (Daniel 9:24 to 37), with each week representing seven years. Being a Jew, he had no knowledge or foresight into ushered in the present Gentile Age and the Gentile Age that was to come be- !Daniel was not given any prophetic m . er e Motor .1,,..:eeek„ otiii el, is sixtyo--pnli,netthic atssi je:7 n tTi eht lei iknngovi,t•hleed ge‘e.eonftsit.j u sHt op‘rveecNe• edrin ign tdhees csrai by:, Specials and Reminders for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday r.

And that at all times men place themselves, in the quest of opportunity, far more efficiently than others can do?" She asks, "What is a Displaced Per- son?" and answers: "A displaced. Per- son is unique front the rest of human- ity, not hi his needs and dreams, skills and ambitions but in one particular only: He lacks a piece of paper. It is monstrous—when one thinks of it— but nobody is realty alive hi today's world, nobody tan work, found a home, live like other people, unless lie is attached to a piece of paper. That piece of paper is the certificate of a government that lie exists, and without it lie does not exist, It is a passport". And here is her astonishingly good idea: "Therefore, I suggest that there should be issued to all the persons in Europe who have been rendered home- less, reduced to non-existence by the inliuman policies of governments, a Roosevelt Passport, bearing on its cov- er Ronseveles portrait, his promise of the Four Freedoms, and valid without further visas for every civilized country in the world. By this, I mean every country which affirms the rights of matt as a human individual. That in- cludes the Milted States, Britain and the Commonwealth, the Western Euro- pean States, the Latin American States. "I then suggest that a non-interest bearing fund shall be set up for the purpOse of issuing to holders of these passports a loan of not more than $500, to be repaid within five years. And therewith the places of their confine- ment shall be opened and they smply shall be allowed 'to go. There will be no more continuing hppropriatioris—no more problems at all. No one will have to be paid a salary to consider how to "place" the displaced. Each will place himself, just as you and I placed ourselves and all our ancestors placed themselves, They will go, find a country, a job, and become persons instead of ptoblerns"- We think it is an astonishingly good idea. What do you think! * KNOW WII401/A1A Early History of Wingham, continued, (An extract from 'the Historical Atlas of the Countyof Huron, Ontario, pub- lished in 1879). The (Wingliam) village records show that Benjamin Wilson was the first Reeve; Dr. Tamlyn, H. Davis, George Pettypiece and T. Gregory were the first Councillors, and Walter J. Hayward was chosen the first Clerk, Mr. Wilson was again Reeve in 1875, and Henry Davis in 1876; followed again by Benjamin Wilson in 1877 and also in 1878, which was the last year Wingliam remained a village.
