Written by Kathryn MacKay campersthat an open flame in or near a tent can create a serious fire hazard, Tt pos sib-le1i`or a ,non* flame retardant cotton tent to, burn to the ground in as little as 45 seconds; '` In fact, any cotton tent that hasn't been treated with flame retardants will ignite easily and burn rapidly when exposed to an open flame or other igni`tion s'ouree.. Similarly, nylon tents can be ignited but° wifl burn much less rapidly than cotton tents. Even after they are treated with flame retardants at the factory, cotton and nylon tents are not fireproof -- the process only. makes them more resistant to ignition and ensures they will not burn as readily. To help ensure that a camping holiday does not become a camping tragedy,. the following precautions should be observed -when tenting: - DO NOT use candles. or matches or open flames of any kind in or near a tent. - DISCOURAGE smoking in tents. BUILD campfires downwind and several yards away from the tent. Always be sure to fully extinguish camp fires before leaving camp or before retiring for the night, -._ PRACTISE extreme. caution when using fuel - powered lanterns and heaters inside tents, and use battery-operated equipment wherever. possible. - EXTINGUISH or turn off all lanterns before going to bed. NEVER use . cook stoves inside the tent, - KEEP all flammable liquids such as gasoline or kerosene in tightly capped safety cans, stored out of the reach of children . and well away from the tent. - BRING along a portable fire extinguisher when camping. - DEVELOP an escape plan for getting opt of the tent quickly in case of emergency. Keep a knife handy to cut an escape hole in the tent should the exit become blocked. - FOLLOW these safety measures, and have a safe and happy holiday. It's .irirne " children had, their say !

SCOUTS: The Scouts have been very busy in the last few weeks with two major camps. On the Victoria Day weekend 11 scouts and 2 leaders attended an in- vitational camp with the 82nd Scout Troop from London. This was held at the London Scout Camp, Camp Sylvan near Parkhill. Although it started off wet, it turned out ` to be a very suc- cessful camp. This past weekend 13 scouts from our troop joined 107 other scouts from 8 other troops in the Huron District and 3 troops from the Stratford District. This camp held in conjunction with the Beavers, Cubs and Venturers was the largest Scouting camp ever held in the Huron District and proved to be a lot of fun. The Clinton ( Scout Troop shone on knots again, particularly Doug MacLean, Dave Moffat and Don Taylor. Doug MacLean also rode the "Bucking Bronco" for the longest time. Next week Scouts will meet at the church as usual, but will substitute a baseball game instead. Those Cubs Who are corning up to Scouts are invited to participate. Bring your baseball equipment to Ontario Street Church Monday, June 9 at 7 p.rnl.
