Wingham Fire Department requests the assistance of all citizens in Wingham and the surrounding rural area to help in keeping fire loss to a minimum, There are many ways this can be done. Fire hazards are publicized in many papers, editorials and posters. Take time to read them; they may save you trouble. Perhaps a tour of your premises by a mem- ber of the brigade would give you some aid in finding exist- ing fire hazards. This service is free for the asking. Make sure the phone num- firemen must be professionally trained to cope with the situa- tion, Fire is a menace to your life, your home, your business, Fire hazards lurk in litter and rub- bish, oily paint rags, overfused electrical systems, overheated heating systems.

FIRE PREVENTION is up to YOU! If you need assistance in making an inspection of your buildings, call the brigade and the necessary arrangements will be made.

Hoses have to be re- paired, practice and lecture sessions must be attended at least once a month, plus a host of other details. One of the most important buildings in town, the fire hall, has to be kept clean and a cred- it to the community. It is not only a place to house equip- ment, play cards and watch television or have socials. The recreation room is used for many phases of fire protection. Lectures and training sessions are carried out there. Study books and literature on fire- fighting techniques are on hand for easy reference. Fire fighting today is a far cry from passing a bucket of water from one person to anoth- er to douse a fire. Many types of fires today require a variety of treatment if they are to be extinguished promptly.

When the fire siren blows 20 volunteer firefighters and four auxiliary firefighters drop whatever they are doing and rush to the fire hall. What- ever the cause for the alarm, the firemen are trained to help. Firemen do not join the fire department for glory, .medals or the fun of riding around on a big red fire engine. For the most part they are ordinary, conscientious persons, protect- ing the lives and property of others. As citizens of the com- munity these men contribute Much of their time and talents in a service which is most nec- essary, regardless of remunera- tion. HINDRANCE Many times motorists hinder the work of the firemen. To cite a few instances: following to closely behind a fire vehicle, endangering the lives of those on the rear of the truck; block- ing roads or lanes, when per- haps equipment has to be mov- ed or other emergency vehicles have to be called in. Being a fireman, fighting fires is only part of the job.

Optometrist Extension of hosp, insurance is recommended Extension of Ontario Hospital Insurance to cover care in nurs- ing or convalescent homes is one of the most urgent needs for older people in Ontario, ac- cording to the Ontario Welfare Council. The Council, through its Section on Aging, submitted, to the Minister of Social and Family Services, Hon. John Yaremko, comments on the recommendations made by the Legislature's Select Committee on Aging. The Select Com- mittee, headed by Alex Car- ruthers, submitted its report this spring. Municipalities should be en- couraged to provide the "spe- cial assistance" now possible under the General Welfare As- sistance Act, the presentation stated, and efforts should be made to make the aged persons aware that they are available. Special assistance can include the cost of drugs, hearing aids, podiatric, dental and optical services. Provincial grants-in-aid to establish information and refer- ral bureaus in communities were recommended as "the most important single service needed by the aged in a com- munity." These could be set up by voluntary agencies, mu- nicipalities or both. Housing for the aged was seen as only a part of the acute need for housing in general and greater flexibility with regard to financing, zoning, planning and construction was urged for all levels of government. The Department of Social and Fam- ily Services was commended for supporting the experimental geriatric ward in Toronto West- ern Hospital and asked to en- courage establishment of more such wards in teaching hospi- tals. Higher maintenance grants were asked for charitable institutions looking after old people. Comments on the Recom- mendations were prepared by a committee under the chairman- ship of Professor Donald Bel- lamy, University of Toronto School of Social Work. After the statement was submitted to Mr. Yaremko, Prof. Bellamy and a small delegation from the Ontario Welfare Council met Dr. J. S. Band, Deputy Minis- ter and Lawrence Crawford, Director of the Office on Ag- ing, to discuss implementation of the suggestions. Ontario Welfare Council is supported by several united ap- peal funds in Ontario.
