THE HOME" PAPE Thousands View, DDisplay of Military Unit Canine Mascot Aids Recruiting Ahnost ten thousand people .from Clinton and surrounding country of Huron County were on. hand ‘Tuesday, evening in Reereationi Park, Clinton to witness the sCanadian Array:Denis ostration Unit, which is touring' Mil- itary District No. The unit ar- rived here during the afternoon and pitched their tents in, the park: The parade included tanks, artillery, machine gun section, motorcycles, Bren gun carriers, militia and units of all the motorized transports veh- icles. For an hour and a half the specta- tors weregiven a militarydemonstra- tion emo stn g n a tion such as had never been goon here before. The crowd were given an idea of how it feels to have bombs explod- ing almost under their feet, machine guns rat -tat -tatting and all the noises. of actual battle. A band concert by the LC R. band was greatly enjoyed. Mayor McMurray addressed' the crowd, extending to the officers and rnen a hearty welcome and pledging this 'community to a continuance of the patriotic work already being car- ried on here and with increased effort throughout the duration of the war. One of the most colorful members o$ the Unit is Pte. Sixtoes, whose re- gimental number is D7'77777. ,Pte. Sixtoes is a six-week oldnun of doubtful anee$tory, who has learned to love army : life and the sound of the 000khouee,bell. The honey -color- ed little canine was documented and enlisted in the unit before it arriv- ed in Western Ontario from Three Rivers, Guebee. He understands English and French and` has a weak- ness for riding with the unit's mot- orcyclists. Ike has captured the hearts of the'troope and despite his indifference to army regulations, he still holds the title of best -fed and the best -looked-after private in the camp. . The Unit camped here overnight and in the morning moved on to Gode- rich where they gave a demonstration yesterday afternoon, RED CROSS NOTES Below is a list of ladies from the Red -Cross Society who are expected to be present on Thursdays and Sun- day evenings in the Recreation Room.

Public Demonstration at)Huront Coun-. •ty I}lointe has Successful Results An automatic fire alarm system, n installed at the Huron Corm newly insta d tS' Home was tested in a public demon- stration Friday afternoon when fire- men responded to an alarm from the institution and indicated, how rapidly fire -fighting equipment may now be on the scene in the event of even a small outbreak in the Home. About fifty representattivo citizens witnessed the test and clemonstraton, including Warden Jones of Lambton County, and Messrs. Wilson of the of the Lambton County Council, and Hipple from the Sarnia City Connell. Huron County Council, Mayor Me - Murray of Clinton, and Clinton Town Council. They voiced unanimous ap- proval of the alarm system as filling a long felt want in the matter of fire protection in the building which hous- es so many elderly residents who would be helpless without assistance in the event of a fire. The test was conducted by George H. I. Carson, Toronto, President of Dominion Fire and Burglary Alarms, Limited, who had completed the in- stallation only a few days ago. The automatic system is actuated by any abnormal rise in temperature. Throughout the building, in every room, tubby hole, nook and corner, hallways, stairways, basement and attics are safeguarded by the Auto- matic Electrically Supervised Fire. Alarm system, and are separate snits of the system -298 units in all, set to calibrate at a specified .temperature and to sound any necessary alarm. In most eases the units are set for 1.10 degreess, but there are exceptions n such places as the kitchen, attics and o furnace room, r m, where they are. set for 190 degrees in order to avoid any needless alarmsp In the event of the temperature exceeding the specified figure in proximity to any one unit the alarm is set in operation, immediately alarm bells sound on all the floors of. the Home, and simutlaneously an alarm bell rings in the Clinton Fire department headquarters, where two 10 inch and one 8 inch alarms have been installed, The Homeis divided v led into eight fire.• alarm' eireuits, each register, by uene-- ber on the annunciator, located on;;, nanel board lit the main hallway.manlier apepar'ing on the annuciatore, the moment the alarm bell sounds; indicates the point in the building at. which the fire has broken out. Six break glass type fire alar•. boxes have peen installed, all regis- ter by numbers on the enunciator' end are to, be used in any ease of cur ergency, such as any person setting: themselves, or when a fire is disooe eretl before it has Berated sufficient teiuperature to operate the Automae• li system. The system is electrically supervao- ed, and in the event of power failurem a trouble bell rings. The trouble hels;, sounds also if any wire is broken ea`' cut. When the trouble bell is silenced a red light will show until the systeutt has been returned to working order.„ Thus the fire protection systeru'•ati. the Home appears to be as 'foolproof" as possible. Mr. Carson told the in terested audience Friday that in the - twelve years of existence of his company, the system has never fait - eel to reveal a fire. The most serious, fire loss yet recorded in any building. protected by the system has been 32s —and in only one ease has it beer. necesasry for a fire brigade to ex- tinguish the blaze. So promptly as an: incipient blaze detected, it has beer. checked almost invariably with a. small supply of water before the ar-. rival of the firemen. To test the alarm at the home Tel - day afteroon at 4,35 o'clock, a tin , of alcohol was set alight in a room ape. proximately 15 ft. by 12 ft. by 1.1 ft,. and a stopwatch was then used to cheek the time required for the alarm and the Fire Department's response,. Exactly one and three-quarter min- utes after the alcohol had been touch- ed off, the alarm sounded. The Clin- ton. Fire Department made the rote from town to the Home in three and one-quarter minutes. • The cost of the entire system is ap- proximately- 32,150, Mr, Carlon exhibited a number of testimonials from places where they were perfectly satisfied with this Lite. alarm system, which he supervised �'Vesley'.Willis W.M.S.
