Prevent Fire; Prote
ALTHOUGH the prevention of fire
should be uppermost in one's mind the year
round, still special attention should be drawn
to this matter during Fire Prevention, Week,
October 8-14. •
In this connection, Mayor R. Y. Hattie
issued a proclamation last week ceiling the
attention of all citizens to this special cam-
paign, which is being spearheaded locally by
Clinton. Fire Department and Fire Chief Grant
W. Rath. •
Asking all householders to observe Fire
Prevention Week this year by looking over
their homes for fire safety, the National Board
of Fire Underwriters suggested these rules be
followed:
1. Keep basement, closets and attic clear
off all embbish, or unnecessary stored furniture.
2. Have electric wiring checked by a
qualified electrician.
3. If the furnace and chimney. haven't
been cleaned this year, this would be a good
time to have it done, so they will be in good
condition for the first cold days.
4. When buying new electrical appli-
ances, be sure they've been tested for fire
safety.
5. Always have a metal screen in front
of the fireplace.
6. Never use gasoline for dry cleaning
at home.
7. 'Keep portable heaters in good cond-
ition, and place them so they won't' be tipped
over easily by children.
8. Don't allow smoking in bed. See
et Lite and Property
that there are plenty of ashtrays in the house.
loam of the machines which have help-
ed farmers set new production records in re-
cent years also have brought serious new fire
hazards to the farm,
With farm fires causing an estimated '3,500
deaths and approximately $99,000,000 in prop-
erty destructioa each year, the National Board
urges farmers to observe these "eleven rules
for farm fire safety."
1. Have new wiring installed by an ex-
perienced electrician.
2, Don't overload wires—when adding
new electrical devices.
3. Remember that gasoline can be dang-
erous—and store it with care.
4. For carrying small quantities of gas-
oline, use A selfolosing approved safety can.
5. Do not store tractors in a;hay barn.
6. Give your entire heating system a
thorough inspection at least once a year—
end do not delay necessary repairs.
7. If you use an artificial drier to dry
your corn, see that it is efficient.
8. Prohibit smoking in the learn or
where inflammable liquids are stored.
9. Be sure that everyone knows how to
call the fire department, end how to use the
farm's fire protection equipment.
10. Have lightning . rods of the proper
type installed on ' every farm building.
11. Inspect stored hay regularly for od-
ors, smoke, gas, or heat. These ore warning
signals.
National Immunziation Week
THE HEALTH LEAGUE of Canada is
sponsoring next week, October 15-21, as Na-
tional Immunization Week.
Last year, 79 Canadians died from diph-
theria, a disease about which a great deal is
known, a disease which can be prevented.
Diphtheria Toxoid is almost 100 per cent
effective,
Last year, 202 Canadian children lost their
lives to whooping cough. Whooping cough also
is largely preventable.
Too many parents wait until the child goes
to school. Protection should be started before
six months of age. Reinforcing doses at proper
intervals are impottant to maintain this safety
in following years.
Your featly doctor, or the Huron County
Health Unit, Clinton, will be pleased to ad-
vise you on immunization,
Still A Big Chore
SOME WIDELY EXAGGERATED tales of
woe have been coming out of the west since
early and severe frosts hit what was one of
the. most promising wheat crops in our grain -
growing history. It Is perfectly true that the
loss hes,been large and serious. Whatlooked
like a bumper harvest of superior quality, was
overnight. reduced considerably in weight and
. still more in grade.
' But even frost -nipped wheat is far better
than no wheat at ell, points out The Financial
Post. Much of this damaged gratn will
still
make nourishing bread all ofit can be
and
turned into excellent feed for livestock, pro-
vided,.of course, we can get the livestock end
the feed together.
Now that the first jolt has passed, the
West is beginning to realize that it will still
harvest a lot of wheat, And properly handled,
it should be worth e lot of money.
Only .An Echo
IN ITS PRESENT FORM, says The Finan -
dal Poet, the Senate cannot hope to function
as was originally intended, It was created
mainly for the purpose of guarding against
extreme, unwise and unfair legislation and as
a protection for minority groups and the more
thinly populated sections of Canada. In re-
cent decades, however, it has become little
more than en 'echo of the House of Commons,
and still more recently little more than an
echo of the dominant party there.,
Properly reorganized so as to be really
representative of nation-wide opinion, the
Senate could play a useful and important role
in our national government.
Editorial Comment ..
Municipalities which boast parking meters
are missing a chance to boost their tax
revenue. Under that little marker which reads
. "EXPIRED", there is enough space for an ad
from the local undertaker.
At least one government in one common-
wealth country is recognizing the folly of per-
mitting further industrial concentration in the
major centres of population. The Victoria
State government in Australia has introduced
a ban on new industries in the Melbourne
metropolitan area ' en recommendation of
military authorities.
When we raised the pay of our federal
members of parliament the last time, we rather
thought it was because they believed they had
a full time job. Apparently, however, a world -
war in Korea, a multi-million dollar armament
program, a rail strike, and a ballooning cost
of living are only worth a short session. Or is
it that the Cabinet now considers a House
in session a distraction from the real business
of running the country?
Some people have (some mighty odd
ways of showing what good citizens they are
in this onrushing world, They brag about
how short a time it took them to drive from
here to there; or about how they don't' have
to worry about summmonses because they
know so-and-so, It's about time some of these
people realized that.the rules of the road
have a purpose: to save human lives. Maybe
you are a responsible driver , . if so, don't
encourage the recklessly -inclined by bragging
about speed. ',Help your police safety petrol.

The unseen figure of Death rides beside the motorist who
races a train . to a levelcrossing. The way, may look clear, and
there may seem 'to be a split second in which toavert calamity.
Unfortunately for many of the 140 who were killed and the 549
who were injured in 443 railway crossing accidents, in Canada. in
the 12 -month period ended June 30th last, the train wa,* moving
faster than they judged, or they were closer to the point of impact
than they imagined and they paid a high price for their impatience.
The old rule of STOP, LOOK and LISTEN applies with more force
than ever today when more automobiles and trucks are on the
road.. Make sire you have a clear path over the crossing; obey
the Signs placed there for your protection. It's better to be de
layed a minute than to be killed or maimed.
