Have your salvage ready for the collector. Seaforth & District Salvage Corps ' Gasoline vapor is so highly explosive it has been aptly called liquid dynamite. Every year the losses of property and life testify to the gross carelessness of individuals around this most dangerous of fuels. The Ontario Fire Marshall has stated that anyone tak- iiig-an open flame lamp or lantern near gasoline is trying to commit 'suicide! Don't drive a car, truck or tractor on the barn floor— it is folly. Never use gasoline or kerosene to revive a fire. Don't use gasoline, benzene or other inflammable liquids for cleaning in the home. Never fill lamps, lanterns, stoves or heaters while they are burning. Gasoline kept in a building should be in an approved 'safety container, painted red and plainly marked GASO- LINE. Don't keep more than a gallon4—rarger amounts should be stored in heavy drums at least 75 feet from the nearest building. Be your own fire warden. Treat gasoline with all the respect with which you treat dynamite. It's dangerous stuff! TNIB ADVTFNG SPONSORED BY THE OLLOWICOMN'' FARMERS' CENTRAL MIITUMI FIRF INSURANCE CO.
