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. THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD • Red Shield The R. S.

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. -V A "sergeant" with four legs is Mon treel's, boast. He's Sgt. "Music'.

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- andra Hospital. --.Goderich Signal - Star, V. 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. COUNCIL MEE'T'ING ( Continued from Page 1) Council was, unaminons in author- izing, Reeve Falconer to be respon- sible for calling out the power snow plow. The reeve, as chairman of 'the street committee for 1944 suggest- ed the plan which was adopted last year, having the different members of his committee responsible for care of the street's in their respective wardp and subject to the chairman. Councillor Trewartha, chairman of the Finance Committee for 1944, first congratulated the Mayor in his elec- tion to office and spoke briefly on some of the problems -starting the new year facing uncertain 1943 ac- counts.

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.

I hail better hurry; I don't think I have too much time. I ant 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-- everything one-everything will . have changed so lnuoh since I left, Ohl The German campauthorities unchained all the Air Force in this camp yesterday.
