A. very pleasant Are Prevention Week The week of October 3-9 has been set aside by Royal Proclama- tion as Fire Prevention Week for the purpose of impressing upon the public consciousness the enormous waste of life and property oc- casioned by fire and the means to be taken to reduce this tragic and unnecessary wastage. When it is considered that Canada's loss by fire in 1942 was 304 lives and over 331,000,000 property damage, it is easily apparent that something must be done about it. Fire is a disease that annually saps our national wealth and every citizen should resolve to do his bit to wipe out this menace to our happiness and prosperity. Every citizen can be a soldier in this campaign by simply being careful with fire, by disciplining himself in his smoking habts, by seeing that every lire hazard in his home, store or factory is removed and by knowing what to do should a fire start. Our soldiers,sailors and airmen are batting a grim enemy on far -away fronts, Let us battle that other enemy — the Fire Demon — on the "Home Front," We too can help to win the war by preventing fires. Every fire is small in its incipiency but It might easily reach "the proportions of a conflagration. Our duty is to see that a fire does not start, This week, in the press, over the radio, in theatres and from the , platform, John Q. Citizen will be exhorted to use every care with fire, not only during Fire Prevention Week but every week in the year. It would be well for him to take this advice to heart and to make Canada a fire -safe country in which to live. We need only to call to mind two holocausts which have occurred during the past year in order to show the tragedy which can follow in the wake of fire. These are the Cocoanut Grove Night Club fire in Boston in which 491 people lost their lives, and the hostel fire in St. John's, Newfoundland, in which 99 lives were snuffed out. WE CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL WITH FIRE, Prevent Fires THESE' SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS, IF FOLLOWED BY EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY, WILL MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE FROM FIRE 1—Put lighted matches incl smokes out before you throw 'them away. Keep matches where small children cannot reach them. Never smoke in the garage, barn or attic, nor, in bed, 2—Remove rubbish, waste pii"pers and all unnecessary combustible materials. Provicle metal ash and trash can, Burn rubbish only on a safely covered brick or metal incinerator. Watch the fire, "--Examine all stoves, furnaces and 'smoke pipes to make sure they are safe and well away from woodwork or other burnable mat' trims. Have needed repairs oracle at once. 4—Value the advice of your fire chief who says that marry fires are caused by dirty or defective chimneya,.Have the chimneys cleaned regularly, and have all defeats repaired. 8—Escape the clanger of inflammable liquid fires and explosions by keeping no gasoline in the house. Do dry cleaning with safe liquids or send the wo'k to the cleaner. Never start fires with kerosene, 6—Notify the electric company of electrical trouble and the gas company of gas leaks, Replace "blown" fuses with new ones — not Pennies. Avoid home-made wiring jobs, Don't look for gas leaks with a. match. 7 -Teach everyone in the family to be careful of fire, to watch stoves, fireplaces, electric irons and all other possible fire causes, and every day to remove old rags, papers and other rubbish. 8—Fireproof your home as far as possible by flre-safe roofing, fire stopping in hollow walla and partitions to stop the spread of flame, and a non-combustible basement ceiling, 9—Inquire of your fire chief, when buying a flee extinguisher to he sure of getting the right kind. Don't hesitate tb ask your fireman. whenever. you have questions on fire prevention, 10—R'eraember always where the nearest fire alarm box is and how to send in an alarm, 15 telephoning be sure the address is clearly understood, Use a neighbor's phone rather than one in the burning building. 11—Explain to everyone in the house what to de in ease of fire, how to put out fire in clothing by wrapping in a rag or blanket, what to do when grease catches fire In the kitchen. 12—Save lite and property from needless destruction by fire by keeping the principles of fire prevention always in mind and never taking a chance with fire, 111:6161.411,- 24,1 MSC ALLAN REID, Fire Chief, Town of Seaforth and profitable time Was spent by all M1', and Mrs, Thompson of Goder ich visited with Mr, and Mrs, .Ernest Adams on Sunday last. EDUCATION By William Cockburn' Duncan in "Britain." She readied the age of ten in Oc- tober, Almost two years ago she same out of the cellar with the rest of us and helped her eider brother to collect shrapnel and bomb frag- ments. Most of the times we were in the cellar she slept on a camp -bed made from a deck -chair. The broken windows, the inch or so of soot on the furniture, the demolished houses round the 'corner—all of these she saw, And yet the war is a vague far- off thing to her. She has her school and hockey, her swimming and her ballet dans- Mg, At herage to pass the interme- diate examination of the British Ballet Organization means the al- most complete utilization of what spare time she has to the almost total exclusion of the war. She does her hone lessons during the news bulle- tin so that she can listen to Tommy Handley, Her brother, three years older, is entirely different. Because of the war, geography is his finest subject. It is a mistake to take a walk in the country with him, for na man can resist putting a name to every pass- ing plane. No man, unless he has an eye like a hawk and a mind carefully indexed, should do so in the presence of his thirteen -year-old son. Every Royal Observer Corps post in the country, I am convinced, should have a schoolboy on its staff. My son is al- so an authority on naval design and on tanks. Opportunities for seeing tanks are few, yet he has an eye for them, Many ships he sees, and I have long since refused to argue with him, His "H.M. ships at War" is carefully noted with additions, sink - lugs, actions, and even awards to the REGENT THEATRE Seaforth NOW SHOWING -- TIIURS. 11.ItI, SAT. ; Rosalind Russell Fred MacMurray "Flight For Freedom" Trio romantic story of a woman who took off on a secret military mission across the vast ocean, MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDN1 SDAY Tyrone Power Anne Baxter One of the best films of the war in GORGEOUS TECHNICOLOR "Crash Dive" A record of life on a submarine, packedwith suspense and excitement NEXT THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY Franchot Tone , Anne Baxter "Five Graves To Cairo" COMING — "Something To ,Shout About" Matinee each Sat, and'Holiday at 2,30, First show starts at 7.30 each evening.

The re- ceipt of a savings certificate or an- other postal order was the signal for a pout. Money in wartime means very little to a girl, and certificateg representing more money later on can be almost boring. We did our beat, fashioning dolls' furniture from scraps and adding to her library. The weather during the school holi- days helped, A day or two of frost and she learned to skate more or Tess comfortably; a powdering of snow and she and _her brother came home, apple-cheeked, dragging the sled' behind them; a city cinema, with Walt Disney -crammed programs for children, and a pantomime cov- ered wet afternoons- Now she is back at school again, and she has not memories. Now she is back at school and her mother misses her dreadfully, School holidays can be tiresome for grown-ups who are not on holiday. Feet get muddier and,muddier, cloth- ing wears at a disproportionate rate, and shoes=one' shudders, thinking of the lack of coupons and cobblers, It is always held that the careful mother should teach her child the routine of housework, My daughter, as I have hinted, is a very busy per- son, yet, while her knowledge of , housework is still elementary, she was her mother's right hand during the holiday period. It is difficult to say how or when it began. Maybe a stray errand set her off on her career, or maybe an older girl in the district acted as a spur. Anyway, she shouldered her mother's marketing problems. avoided acquiring certain happy Want and For Sale Ads, 3 weeks 50e.
