hy4'iska Thresh(nij fire?
Practice These
3 Simple Safety Measures:
Threshing, fires will be practically eliminated if these three
simple precautions are taken:
Use a water sprayer at the base of the blower -supplying
1. 20 to 40 gallons of water per hour according to the dryness
of the straw. This will keep down dust which increases
lire the moment it starts.
Prevent matches, either loose or in boxes, from passing
2. through the machine. Boxes of matches have proved more
dangerous than loose matches. Insist that none be carried
by anyone engaged, Obey the Fire Marshal's order posted
on the machine.
❑Set the engine or tractor well away from straw or any
3. other readily combustible material. Prevent loads of
sheaves from standing or passing near to the engine's
exhaust.
Especially in wartime it is every farmer's duty to prevent
threshing fires from starting. But if they do start, be ready
for them, Keep a barrel of water new the blower -and
another near the engine. A flame -proof blanket is an excel-
lent tivi4)g to smother a Sre the moment it begkns: but a coal
or a smock will do. ,,Fight by preventing fires,

BLYTH
A. new telephone office, one of the
mostmodern convenient n o e'r n and conven en,, rn Hu-
ron county, has been completed here
by the Blyth Telephone System.
Some months ago the Commission
purchased from Stanley Sibthorpe
the block on the corner of Queen
and Dinsley streets. The telephone
office had been in this building for
many years and the Commission felt
that the time had come to change the
location of the office, feeling that it
would be much better on the ground
floor. For some time work has been
carried on preparing the building for
the new office. A. new front was
built as well as several new windows.
The ceiling was lowered, a furnace
installed and a water pressure sys-
tem with toilet, basin, etc., also was
installed. New electric lighting was
placed throughout as well as new
floor coverings. An up-to-date office
is also in the building for the secre-
tary and sleeping quarters for the
night operator. A large storeroom
was installed for the lineman's sup-
plies and y. garage.
The work of moving the switch
board had been given to R. R. Rich-
ardson, an engineer for the Bell Tel-
ephone Co., London, who was assist-
ed by Russel Brock, a lineman, of
Kirkton, and Jack Keller, lineman of
the McKillop System. The change in
the switchboard was made in 55 min-
utes without interrupting service.
Frank Rogerson, who has been local
Iineman for 20 years, was untiring in
his efforts to make the work a suc-
cess. The secretary of the company,
Leslie Hilborn, also spent much time
on the project. The Conlplissioners,
-Mr. Jas. Phelan, chairman, Mr Frank
Marshall and Mr. Albert Walsh, are
to be commended for the good work
accomplished. The company has an
efficient staff: Miss Josephine Wood-
cock, who has been head operator for
27 years, Mrs. Sadie Curring,, night
operator; Mrs, William Bowes and
Mrs. J. Glousher.

100 NEW INDUSTRIES
Nearly 30,000 British workpeople
are now 011 WAY production in the 300
factories set up in Britain by refu-
gees from Nazi persecution. They
are helping to defeat their former
oppressors by making glycerine for
explosives, textile and leather serv-
ice equipment, optical glass for bin-
oculars and periscopes, diamond cut-
ting tools, electrical equipment, metal
alloys, plywood, and many other
manufactures: directly used in the
war effort.
Over one hundred industries ent-
irely new to Britain have been estab-
lished there by refugees since Hit-
ler came to power, and 'valuable pro-
cesses recorded only in the minds of
the inventors are at the same time
Germany's loss and the Allies' gain,
