The 'following paper on "Fire!.Waste" wes given by John Waugh: rh: i
Bleing. Chairman this year of the
Topics committee I have felt that I
should offer a brief paper on a subject
of special interest to the members of
this Association in the hope that
more papers on the many, subjects
width; our concern will be preparled`
and tread by the members at future
meetings and conventions.
Let me say a few words about fire
waste, Lt what subject are we more
concerned 'fo reduce loss by fire
should I) our constant aims for that:
was the one great object our Charter
Members had in mind when they had
our. Associations incorporated by
letters patent, and that most be the
ultimate object of the Association so
long as it is an active institution. All
that we do or say as members of this
Association should look to the pre-
vention or the control of fire.
I do not have to call 'tour at -1
tention to the need of this control,
Your are all well aware of the great
annual fire losses throughout, the
world. They are increasing yearly.,
In our own country and in the United'
States they .are particularly heavy. In
the younger countries of the world
we are more indifferent to natural
wealth, more wasteful. We have to
learn the need of conservation, As a
man develops he gradually' learns the! A. T. SIvI1T.H,
len of moderation and the need of President-elect, Merritton.
sso
bringing everything about him under
a reasonable control Fire is a lead-
ing element in man's given world
lt1Suseful and essential,
but it
is also
extremely dangerous and damaging
Everything built is subject to this
alarnsing "hazard and standing threat.
Think of a few of the great con
flagrations' recorded. Think of the.
city of Fertiie, B,C„' in 1903. It was
wiped out by a fire which started in
a forest. There were 25 deaths, 6,000
people lost their homes and th prop-
erty loss reached $5,000,000. You all
