} PIPE LINE PUZZLES
No home piping system can begin
to compare with the confusing maze
of pipes in a modern factory where,
in case of emergency,, it is highly .im-
portant to be able to know instantly
just what material any one pipe car-
ries or what any one valve controls,
relates Ted Sanderson in the Dec.
C -I -L Oval.
1 Imagine an 'accident that breakes
one of a dozen or more pipes in one
part of a building and sets free a
flow of colourless liquid. Is it naxnn-
less' water or a dangerous chemical?
Andwhat valve in some other part
of the building will turn off the flow
from that particular pipe? Answers
to these questions can be known bl-
atantly if the pipes are painted with
identifying colors under the uniform
system that has been developed.

Pipes carrying fire -fighting, materials
are painted solid red or with bands
of red at frequent intervals. If a pipe
is painted yellow, the material is an
acid, an oil •or a gas -and the yellow
valve willturn it off. - A light blue
distinguishes the drinking water pipe
from the river water which is painted
green, and so on. When a pipe fitter
goes to work on •the piping system
the danger of opening the wrong line
by mistake is avoided.

Fire Persists in W.C.F.M.
Coal Pile
With . stroke rising continuously
from the Western Canada Flour Mill's
seven -thousand -ton coal pile, break-
ing into flames from time to time, de-
cision was made on Wednesday to
trove the heart of the fire, to the
nearby parking lot of the bathing
beach. An official from head office
in Toronto was here and as a result a
contract was given to a Sarnia sal-
vage company to do the work, which
will begin at once. Dump trucks which
have been engaged at the new syn-
thetic rubber plant at Sarnia will be
used.
Of recent days the fire has gather-
ed momentum and it was feared that
if a fast move was not made the coal
would be a . total loss. It has been
burning for eight weeks, but until re-
cently it was hoped that the fire,
believed to have caused by spon-
taneous combustion, could be kept
timer control and finally put out with
out too much expense being incurred.
Of recent days, however, it has re-
peatedly burst into flames and men-
aced the mill buildings as well. Tons
of water have already been poured in-
to holes dug in the coal pre, but al-
ways the fire has broken out afresh.
More than that, the gas funises have
on occasion proved very obnoxious to
mill workers, some of whom have
been forced to leave their work for a
time.
Trouble never comes singly, for
Manager Menzies, stricken with in-
fluenza ten days ago or so, has had a
relapse and is now a patient in Alex-

There have been no Canadian casu-
alities in connection with the reported
sinking of a vessel by enemy action
in the Mediterranean recently, accor-
ding to National Defence Headquar-
ters. The reassurance was issued in
response to enquiries following a re-
port that a number of Canadian
nurses had, been aboard a vessel re-
ported !sunk' by aerial torpedoing
and bombing in that theatre of war.
The large number of cheap grain
shops which Were opened six months
ago in Madras, Bengal,, Bihar, Bev
ar, Sind, Bombay, the Punjab and.
the United Provinces havebeen of
great benefit during the present food
emergency. In the important indus-
trial provinces necessary storage ar-
rangements were .made by the em-
ployers for the supply of foodstuffs
to their employees in an emergency;
and cheap canteens, supplying cooked
food to workers were established.

Clinton January First 1944
To The Mayor and Members of Clin-
ton Town Council.
Gentlemen,
We have had a few cases of In-
fectious and contagious Diseases but
no epidemic at any time only two cas-
es of Scarlet Fever, both imported. A
few of German Measles, One of,
Measles imported from England or
Boat.
Early winter we had a more than
ordinary number of cases of Mumps
Recently a case or so of Chicken pox.
No severe complications, no Deaths.
Whooping cough does not become
so Iong and tedious as formerly owing
to Preventative measures taken. With
.so manyMilitia men coming from so
many camps it is difficult to avoid
those Infectious Diseases.
ATI the Public School pupils as well
as Collegiate Students were innocu-
lated against Scarlet Fever during
early summer in all 2270 innocula-
tions, For 12 years the Public School
Pupils have been done for the Dip-
theria and there has never been a
case in town.
As the past Spring was extremely
wet much trouble wasencountered
with Septic Tanks. As the soil be-
comes saturated the system becomes
blocked requiring cleaning and tile
lifting This condition will continue
unless a permanent sewerage system
is installed. So far there has not been
a case of Typhoid fever originate
since the water works was established
in 1910 The previous year there were
12 cases. It is a Possibility that with
Septic Tanks losing their effect and
flooding cellars we may have a repe-
tition of Typhoid.
I have had 10 samples of water
analysed during the year by the
Ontario Dept. of Health all of which
were A. The reason so many tests
were necessary was the interference
of the gifted amatuer, the person who
knows by intuition every thing that
has cost others years of study.
The Reservoir has been cleaned out
and chlorinated. Milk tests and sani-
tary condition of all dairies have
been up to standard and the Pasteur-
izing of milk and plants commented
favourably by the Ontario Inspectors.

feeling much: better now, both .physi-
cally and mentally. We have had.
Red Cross food for quite awhile, and
the news is much better.
It is, very hard .to imagine myself
walking upthe main drag at home--

lnuoh since I left,

way since last October 10th -eleven s

to be rid of them and have a bit of
