With sustained cold waves across
eanada, neivspapers report' tragic
lOss of life'and injurytansed4by fires
in the home. •
An increase in the number of fires
usually accompanys colder weather,
according to the All Canada Insur-
ance Federation.
' Loss of life ckn be •avoided, say
safety experts, by eliminating all
possible fire hazards in the home.
But, if. fire should 'strike, the Feder-
ation offers these steps to help min-
imize property- damage-and prevent
loss'of life:
1) Know the location •'of you'r
local fire department,- and the tele-
' phone number, Ill larger centers,
Make sure everyone in yotif home
knows the location of the closest
fire alarm box.
2) Have at least one fire ex-
tinguisher in your home, and learn
to use it properly. Your local fire
department will advise which type
to use.
3) Make certain baby sitters are
supplied with the number of the fire
'department's telephOne number and
instructions on how to reach you in
an. emergency.
4) Report any fire immediately,
The first sign of stroke Shahid, be
reported; do not wait until, you see

VALUABLE SURVEY
The OntariO Department of Ag-
.
.,,,r.iculture will commence on March
;, 1 s,t f ,survey of -the entire proviince
-irr,an 'effort to aetermitie 'the major
causes of farm accidents, prepara-
iory to a catripaig;n to cut 'clovn the
number of deaths and injuries which,
farmers suffer?'
13ecartse farm accidents are 'so
commonplace little thought haS,been
given 'the matter .'by the general
„public, though it must be highly
thOught-provoking to the hundreds
of farmers ' who receive hospital
treattnent each „year. The truth of
the 'ift:4ter'is that farming is a high-
ly haardotts occupation. You have
Only to-Watch this newspaPer in the
summer monthS to ascertain the
number of serious injuries . in this
locality alone. However, those who
work for Ontario Hydro are also en-
gaged in a hazardoUs form of work
—potentially mach more dangerous
than farming, yet very feW. serious
accidents occur among hydro work-
-- ers,.:.-A rigid system of .safety-con-
sciousness had borne excellent fruit,
The survey which starts on
March 1st is but the first step. After
the major causes of farm accidents
have been pinned down the depart-
ment will no doubt proceed with a
study of the best measure's which
can be taken 'to see that these acci-
dents don't happen. When farmers
'have access to the latest information
of the subject there is every likeli-
hood .that they will become much
More keenly aware of the operations
And locations about their farms
where extra precaution can prevent
injury and death.
We live in such an enlightened
age as far as scientific development
is concerned that accidents which
create loss and suffering should be
eliminated, If man is sirtatt 01601-1

We join with the residents of

have already 'extended their best
wishes to CTNX on the increase in
power which gives the local station
a widened area of coVei-age. The
change is indicative not only of the
purchase and installation of new
equipment, but of a very progressive
spirit in both staff and management.
The story of CKNX is one of
iNThich most are sincerely proud. it
is in essence, the realization of the
impossible. It was the station which
should never have grown up, if geo-
graphy and population figUres
meant anything.
An award for excellence of local
programming from Liberty M,aga-'
zinc has recently,served to point up
the quality of entertainment which
emanates from the station. We ex-
tend our congratulations without
reserve.

for fathers to think about minor
hockey, although if they have never
done so before, it would be a good
time to start The only attitude
however, which is worth while is sl
continuing and active interest in all
forms of recreation in which the
hearts of men and boys can join

Vvery week art the Canadian and
American calendar is taken up by
some organizations or other which
seeks to have seven days set apart
for the promotion and publicity ob-
tainable, Many of them are too far
ffttched to merit special attention,
but this week is becoming widely
knowft as Minor Hockey Week in,
Canada,
At first glance you may wonder
why minor hockey is so' important
that a week should be dedicated to
its honor—and if it were nothing
more ,than the hockey involved We
would agree, but the theme around
which the promotion is built has a
deeper meaning. The pro-mn.te:rs kts.e
the words 'Don't ST*,',ND—Take
your boy to the arena", The idea, of
course, is to foster better under-
standing and 'closer companionship
between boys and their fathers ,
and, of course between all grown
men and all youngsters.
The thought behind .the cam-
paign is worthwhile; although this
is far from the only -move which is
currently being made in the same
direction. Junior bands, craftsmen's
clubs, boating organizations, dra-
groups — many are working
P.' with the same thought in mind and
it all is channeled toward a more
healthy and well-adjusted state for
.the coining generation, These .are
the tools with which juvenile delin-
quency can best be beaten.
