ATKEY - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, NOVEIVIBER 6, 1947 COMMUNITY FIRE LOSS $52,228 CLINTON a proer y toss of $52,228 ,in 1946, actoardinrg,to latest figures issued by the D. nu nion Fire Comhnits8i'oner in Ottawa. A further breakdown of figures puts the per capita fire loss for 1946. at $24.91. Total fire. lees for 1945 was $439. Property loss for the whole Downn,ion amounted to nearly $50,000,000, with 166 men, 78 women and 164 children dead 'as a result of fires in 1946. Smokers' cariessness accounted for the largest per- centage of fires, !waits defective stoves and furnaces, 'elee- tric wiring .and appliances, 'and overheaited flues and chim- neys following next in line. Sparks fsllinig on inflammable roofs , caused the' loss of roughly 1,500 hearses, approximately !three a day. Lightning, spontaneous ignition and incendiarism increased klhe .total by another 1,600. Smokieg in bed, fire authorities claim, kions more people and causes more property loss than any other single factor. Roof tires are the chief cause. of conflagrations and the greatest hazard to life because in many Cases the occupants dbn't know the house is on fire until it is too late. This danger would be substantially reduced if holne- wners would surface ,their roofs with fire -resistive asphalt Shingles or some other fire -resistive material. C?anada.'s fire loss for 1946, repeats the Dominion Fire Commissioner, shows an b crease of 11,7 per cent over the previous year. Overcrowding is one good reason for this increase, but carelessness is stEl the prime fire- bug in any community and citizens everywhere are asked to .the motorist. During this season, let the conditions of in the home and help to save their property, and the lives and property of others. O © 0 SAVE ELECTRICITY THE TIME has come when it is 'absolutely necessary that the Hydro -Electric Power Co innission of On- tario have the whole -hearted co-operation of everyone in avoiding any waste of electricity, if the Hydro system is to keep pace with rapidly expanding demands of industrial and agrieultura'1 consumers. Since VE Day the demand for power has sky- rocketed. In feat, in the two years of (peace, the consump- tion of electricity has increased to one and one-quarter times the highest level during the war. IConstruothon of new generating plants, held up din- ing 1939-45 by military priorities, is being rushed to com- pletion. 'In the meantime, however, every consumer must effect power savings in every possible way if our fac- tories, our farms and our workmen are to continue to play in full their vital role in maintaining Canadian prosperity. Hydro is YOURS. Here is your chance to help your great enterprise over a vital posit -war hurdle.

A good number of the pareels sent by this band of workers went to Holland and the foll- owing letter comes from Holland, The letter is as follows: Albrecht, 1947 Red Shield Auxiliary, Clinton, Ontario, Canada Respected Family: We wish you are •still in good health after receing our ietters. How did you think our group ,photo?

T. A. Huron and Perth Counties, two of three areas still under the Canada Temperance Act, are affected in an important amendment to the Liquor License Act, proposed in the Ontario Legislature Friday by Hon, Leslie Blackwell, attorney general. In the past, there has been con- fusion as to the enforcement of liquor laws in areas where the Canada Tem- perance Act, a federal statute, is in operation. Under the suggested change, the government will make no effort to enforce the provincial law, leaving the areas under the Temper- ance Act. As explained by Mr. Blackwell, the following will result: "Repeat of the Canada Temperance Act in an area which at one time was wet, will en- able the Liquor Control Board to establish stores for the sale of beer, wine, and Liquor. However, before beverage rooms and lounges will be permitted, a second vote must be taken in addition to the vote that re- pealed the CTA. The amendment also states that where an area has always been "dry" repeal of the CTA will not automatic- ally give the area the sale of spirits, either publicly or for home consump- tion, A second vote under the Liquor License Act must be held, and if the result is in the affirmative, the sale will then be permitted. A change also is made in respect to the advertising of applications for li- ceeses in renal areas. Under ordinary circumstances, notice of application must be advertised twice at least one week apart and the second advertise- ment must appear not less than two weeks before the meeting of the board. In rural areas where publica- tion is in weekly newspapers, public- ation shall bo at least five clear days apart and the second publication shall be. at least 10 clear days before the board meeting. SUNSHINE. ACCOUNT IS A. PASSPORT TO BETTER VACATIONS Depoist One -Twelfth of Holiday Money Every Month The people who enjoy vacations most are those who prepare for them in advance—in fact, as soon as they get back from their previous holi- days. This sounds complicated. It isn't, proof h. The R 1 £ :s that quite a few people now do it. They find that year-round planning saves skimping on vacation ftm, These folks boggn by deciding how much they • can afford .t0 :spend next holiday -tune. Then, they open "Sun- shine Accounts" in the Bank of Montreal ,'incl cads month save one - twelfth of their holiday money, mak- iug deposits every week or every fortnight according to their pay-day.
