PARKING By order of the Police, to facilitate snow removal, no parking on the streets of this Municipality will be allowed between the hours of „ 2 a.m. and• 8 a.m. Any contravention of this order will be strictly enforced in accordance with the • Highway Traffic Act, Sec. 40, sub- section 7 AG1 Help Prevent FIRE In the excitement of Christmas parties, safety from fire may be forgotten. But only a momentary forgetfulness will allow a disast- rous fire to start. No victim of fire ever thought that fire would come in the manner or at the time it occurred. ,Safety suggestions are based on actual experience which show how fire accidents hap- pened and the precautions that could have prevented them. Most fires occur from special Christmas lighting, particularly candles. Any open flame lighting should be arranged in fixed suita- ble holders well away from flammable decorations, Christmas trees window curtains and table cloths. Constant watch by adults shoultt be maintained over them while lighted. Electric lighting circuits de- signed for tree illumination should be examined for defects and proper size fuses. • ' For candlelight services, only fixed holders for candles should be permitted; and these located well removed from decorations and from where the public will pass, Much to be preferred are fixed electrical systems with specially designed electrical Dandles. The clangers from carrying or holding lighted candles by the public tak- ing part in the services are much too great ever to be allowed. Flash- lights have been satisfactorily adapted for members of the choir or for services requiring moving lights. Flammable decorations should be kept to a minimum. They pro- vide fuel for a rapid fire from any source of ignition. Metal, glass or asbestos decoration should be preferred in any selection. F1am.e- Inoofing n publictbuildings, flnt paper able and should�belprohibited.cost. Smoking habits are particularly important because of the quanti- ties of wrappings, decorations and trees that might become involved. Matches and lighters should not' be used near a tree, curtakn or de- corations, and extra care exercised in lighting or throwing away matches. . An evergreen tree dries out rapidly in a warm room and should remain in a building for a few days only. It will retain freshness longer if the base is cut diagonally and stands in a pan of water. Location and support of the tree is important—well 'away from fire- places, stoves, heaters and light bulbs and fay distant from exit doors. The tree should be well supported, preferably with metal rods or .wires. D'ORLE'ON SILLS, Fire Chief TOWN TOPICS.
