EAFORTH, Friday October 13th
Fire Prevention
By Royal Proclamation the week
4f October 8 -14th has been set aside
as Fire Prevention Week , in Canada\
The purpose of this proclamation is
to draw ottr attention to the need-
less waste of human lives axil pro-
perty caused by fires.
The proclamation states that dur-
ing the past ten years 470,000 fires.
have destroyed. Canadian proporety
1o,the value of more than $264,000,-
000, and that during the same per-
iod
eriiod 2,869 persons have lost their lives
through fire, and it is estimated that
at least 10,000 others have been ser-
iously injured as the result of fire.
The Dominion Fire Commissioner
has published further statistics
which show that in 1943 -Canada's
losses by fire totalled $31,464,710,
which does not include losses by fire •
in National Defence, properties of
$5,000,000. In these fires the number
of. lives lost was 310, of whom 149
were children.
These are appalling figures, par-
ticularly' when it is considered that
easily l80 per cent., or it might even
be safe to say 90 per cent. of this loss
could have, been averted by greater
care and thoughtfulness in • the daily
lives of the .people. Statistics show
more than these things. They show
that we continue to have ;costly and
fatal fires year after year from ex-
actly
xactly the same causes, as well as. the
same number of fires from these var-
ious causes, which shows conclusive-
ly ,.that the public attitude towards
fire is not showing Hauch, if any, im-
provement.
It is scarcely *, necessary to point .
out that every 'fire is a money loss,
regardless of the fact that the pro-
perty
may, be insured. Some . one
pays for it, and that some one is you
and I. Fire loss may be local in in-
ception,: but it is always national in
its effect. In• fact, it produces four
main effects: The effect upon our
' natural resources ,by the destruction
of building materials; the effect up- _...
an commercial credit by the impair-
ment of security; the effect upon in-
dustrial progress by the handicap it
places• upon production, and the ef-
fectit has upon the •people who fin-
ally pay'the cost of fires.
There is one way, and a very 'im-
portant
mnpo ant way it is too, to relieve, us
f the, crushing burden . that is im=
posed: by our enormous fire loss,_ and
that is by being more careful. By
taking thought during every hour of
our daily ,life about the things we
Co, or should do; to avoid careless-
ness, and to treat fire of any kind as•
a: potential danger to life and pro-
, perty. -
This week every Canadian citizen
is asked to take this advice to heart
so that the needless tragedies and
the tremendous waste of the, past!
May be avoided,• so that Canada in
the post-war days may point the
way as a country safe from unnec-
essary fires.

What Will TheCost?.
Wh y
A question that.. is being widely
discussed in the United States at the
present time is: Will an automobile
cost more after the war than it did
in 1941 when war production took
over all the car plants in the coun-
try? -
It is a question too, that will in-
terest all the people of Canada, as
American prices . have a distinct
bearing on the prices that will • rule . .
in this country. -
A. To date there is no definite answer
to the question. One government
official forecast some increases, and
one auto manufacturer believes that
a car that cost $750 before the war
will be selling at $1,000 after peace
comes. -
There is a report too, that Henry
,Ford has plans for a low-cost car
that will not carry any frills, and
will - be priced ' below the pre-war
cost,' while United Auto Workers say
that war -time production methods
will permit of a cut in prices equal
to ten, or fifteenper cent. .
Against the saving by improved
methods, however, • it is estimated
that wages will increase by fourteen
per cent., and that the materials and
tools will... be considerably higher in
price.
It is. unlikely that the Government
will lay down any hard and fast pol-
icy on car prices, but it is indicated
it will make an effort to "keep the
price at the pre-war level.
_All authorities seem to agree that
the manufacturing costs will be '
higher after the war, but it is hoped
that the demand will be so great
that mass production will be able to
reduce the increased costs, and that
also there will be narrower profit
margins.

Look Out, _Zen -
In a large .New York fashion salon
last week, before a' large and excit-.
eco feminine audience, a noted millin=
e fy designer nonchalantly picked up
a man's felt hat and, .with.,. the help
of a pair of scissors and a triumph-
ant senile, transformed that simple
headgear into what was described as
- a "chit cloche."
• Then; turning to her -enchanted
audience, the milliner uttered these
fatal words: "The next time you go
shopping with a man who is buying
himself a hat, be sure he picks out a
color that is becoming to you."
First it was his coat and vest, and
pants and shirt and socks. Then it
was his job. Now it is his hat. It
must have, been aeaceful world bee -
fore the female entered it!

WHAT OTHER 'PAPERS-. SAY:
-,r ,.
Little Business Marches . On
(Winnipeg Free. Press) r .
The legend, sedulously propagated by "social-
ists and similar reformers, that big business is
extinguishing small 'business 'in all• countries of
private enterprise, is not supported in Canada
by the actual figures of the Bank "of Canada. On
the contrary, an analysis° recently completed by
• the . bank shows that the smalled companies of
Canada have grown more rapidly than the larger
companies between 1936 and 1942. The net value
of the smaller companies has increased 16 per
cent. in this period while the 'larger companies
have grown by, only 8.8 per cent.
Examining- the bank's figures, the. r. Financial
Post says that the small companies not only • h'ave
increased their earnings more rapidly than tete-
large ones, but have plowed back into theilr op-,
erations a considerably higher proportion" of
earnings. The largest firms have retained`+Dirtily.

- Free Trees For Farmers -
Since' the Dominion Forestry Sta-
tions .at. Indian Head and Sutherland
were, established in '1901, . a total of
197,252,000 deciduous trees have been
distributed free to 182,891 farms in
the Prairie Provinces. In 1910 the
`distribution of evergreen trees was
begun from these stations for which
a nominal charge of one dollar per
100 trees is made. In the past 34
yearn more than 4,418,000 such trees
have been shipped to 27,330 farms.
Particulars of how to obtain trees
for shelter belts and farm: woodlots
can be obtained from the Superintend=
ent, Dominion Forestry Station, In-
dian Head, or Sutherland. The trees
are shipped out in the spring spring and
with each consignmentgo instruc-
tions on how to ..plant' and maintain
them.
Longer Operation Pays
Farm machines operated for long-
er than the average season usually
get better than average care. Their
'owners are more inclined to keep
them in good repafr- • The Dominion
Department of Agriculture says that.
when- a•. farmer ixfcreases• the operat-
ing time of his 'machine either by
exchanging work with a neighbor or
by customs work, he lengthens the
life of the machine and cuts its hour-
ly cost of operation.
Farmers owning trucks may use
them for transporting harvest work-
ers to and from work until 111ovexn-
ber 15th, according to the W.P.T.B.
Administrator.

' Bomber Crashes in Lake
A training .bomber from the Port:

in the lake -about 11 o'clock Tuesday
morning about' ten miles north- of
Goderich harbor and the same dis-
tante off shore. • The crew,. 'a ' flight.
lieutenant and four crewmen, took to
the rubber dinghies carried in the -
plane, and well on in the afternoon -
they were spotted from another plane
and the alarm was given. The R.A.F.
crash boat stationed in the harbor
went to the rescue and brought int •
the men after they had been in their
dinghies five hours or more. Except
for the soaking' they got when their'
plane crashed, and a few 'cuts and
bruises, the men 'were in good shape..
The plane continued afloat •and • the
Captain John and the Annamac, with,
