Singly, his hat is that of a serviceman,
a sportsman, a man of the sea, a scout-
master, a businessman, a cowboy, a farmer,
a construction worker.
Put the hats together — and what have
you got?
Your Fire Fighter.

Every week fire strikes at more than one
thousand Canadian homes.'
In terms of dollars that means a yearly Toss of.
below $30,000,000, although _the typical house
fire averages under $500 in damage.
But the truth is that three -quarters of all fire
deaths occur in those homes. And not only
death, for hundreds of Canadians are horribly
burned and often permanently scarred in these
fires.
Fires rarely just "happen"! Nine out of every
ten fires are the result of carelessness and
neglect. Don't let neglect and carlessness cause
fires in Goderich.

1,
A pile of hay in ---a- -barn sud-
denly breaks into fire,
destroying valuable livestock
and equipment.. Can this
catastrophe be prevented ?
Yes' by inserting a 10-foct
length of half-inch-- pipe into
the hay, dropping a ther-
inometer into the pipe. `At 160
degrees temperature, the
danger point is signalled. At
185 degrees, the hay is doomed
to ignite.r„,
A warning directed to "city
slicker" types: "Grass fires
loss ain't hay," if you will kin-
dly pardon the expression.
Fighting grass fires runs into
"boxcar figures. • A ntatch a
careless cigarette or a forgot-
ten bonfire May become a
terrifying wall of flame,
threatening precious
parklands. Numerous, too, are
cases of heart attack suffered
by folk in frantic 4forts t f
cope with disaster.
