Councillors wondered what the

the third floor from the town hall
' and using the material to build

Councillors said the building
would . need no heat. Electric

A communication from the fire
brigade said the number of mem-

- 'Council was told by fire , chief

On one occasion while washing a
truck water had short circuited

of trouble before it was shut off.
Council will look into this.

Week of Prayer
Services Held
As is often the case out' Week
of Prayer services began with the
elements against us. It was a
stormy night for the first service
at Egmondville but the weather
cleared for the remaining ser-
vices. However the attendance
at alle i
s ry ccs was much below
normal. It appears that apathy is
a greater deterrent than the
weather as far as the church
members are concerned.Each
year we have an opportunity to
express our desire for 'Oneness'
in our Churches and from the at-
tendance it 'would seem that this
was the farthest thing from our
minds and hearts, The Week of
Prayer provides a splendid oppor-
tunity for Christian people to be
prayerfully concerned in the ar-
eas where our politician and
diplomats have proven inade-
quate, namely, a better under-
standing between the peoples of
the world. If in the Church we,
fail to achieve a spirit of unanim-
ity, whereby we seek to further
God's work in our world, then we
can very well write off many of
the efforts being advanced today
for the cause of peace.
From the expressions of the lo-
cal ministers there is a common
agreement that prayer is the
Christian's stronghold for the
promotion of peace and a better
understanding amongst men:
When Christians throughout the
world unite for prayer there is
established a real power for good
will and a stronger witness to the
things in which we all believe.
There will no doubt be other
'Weeks of Prayer' but our world,
moves so quickly that a crisis
could well develop before that
opportunity presents itself again
in 1962.

Town To Get
Another Mask
Monday evening the . Seaforth
town council agreed with fire
chief Jack Scott that the fire bri-
gade needed another .smoke
mask.
The fire chief told council
about the ,situation which arose
at the McGonigle basement fire
when a married man with a fam-
ily had donned the brigade's one
and only mask and entered the
smoke-filled basement, Some
trouble had developed, said Mr.
Scott, and it was realized that,
the fire brigade would be unable
to go to the rescue of a stricken.
comrade as they had no second
mask.
Mr, Scott brought the apparab
us known as a Scott Pack into
the council ohamber,I-Ie explain
ed it was very much like a skin
diver's equipment but it has one
large tank instead of two smaller
tanks. A man could sit under
water with it for more than an
hour if not too active; activity
uses more air and shortens the
time.
Mr. Scott said the brigade had
been very fortunate at this par-
ticular fire and the man had been
able to get out. safely. But the
point was, said the fire chief, no
other mask was. available if the
first man was ' incapacitated
through any sort of an accident
while in the basement. The bri-
gade had raised the money them-
selves to buy the Scott Pack they
have.
Councillor Rivers asked how
much it cost. The fire chief said
the one they have cost -about $550
but prices had come down since
then. One with a half hour tank
would Cost less. The tank carries
air at a pressure of 800 to 900
pounds. They have two tanks and
one of them now is at MacDon-
aid Electric in Goderieh to be re-
filled with air—he is a skin diver,
Mr. Scott said,
Reeve Ball suggested getting
latest prices, Mr. Scott said the
mask and resuscitator (for oxy-•
gen) were always on the town
truck, 1 .
Councillor Turnbull wanted 1.o
know about the rural truck, Mr.
Scott said that by the time the
truck could reach the average
farm fire that it was unlikely
there would be need for either a
mask or a resuscitator,
Mayor Daly said that the fire
and water committee could look
into the matter.
