New Year Right ... Save Lives and Property Loss Your Attention is called to the danger to life and property from Christmas decorations, such as draperies, scenery, cotton to repres- ent snow, etc. Displays of this nature and the lighting arrangements .min connection therein, add greatly to the ordinary risks of fire! See that inflammable material is clear of and not hung over lightning devices, steam pipes, stove pipes, electric light bulbs, etc. See that electric circuits are properly fused and not overloaded. Have all temporary decorations removed as soon as they have served their.purpose. REMEMBER ! Nothing can render these displays absolutely safe, and that if accidents are not to mal,, the festive season, constant vigilance and, care must be exercis- ed. • To,,,Citizans of Seaforth and Dlstri"ct We Extend Best Wishes For a Happy Holiday Season) SEAFORTH FIRE BRIGADE ANGUS MacLEAN, Secretary JOHN F.

THE VOICE OF • . TEMPERANCE The chairman of Alcoholics An- onymous reported .recently that Toronto's .A. A. membership had reached almost 4,000. He said the latest innovation in A.A. has been the young people's group, whiclit has steadily attracted alcoholics in their 20's and some in their teens. "When I joined A.A. a few years ago, I was the youngest member at the age of 37," said Art, the Anonymous Ch -airman. "But now the average age of our members is in the early 40's. and we are gain- ing members from. youngsters who are recognizing their need for A.A. early in life." The chairman said that the monthly meetings planned were designed to inform the public of the organization's work and. to lead up to the annual Ontario con- ference to be held in Toronto in March, which would attract 2,000 members from groups- throughout the Province. The A.A. is a won- derful salvage organization. Under present conditions in Ontario their numbers will continue to increase steadily, ,for government statistics prove conclusively that the flood o4alcoholic beverages is mounting higher and higher. The. A.A.'s are helping the drunks, a small "por- tion of them, as all alcoholics are not A.A.'s, but it is surely up to us. to find ways and means of prevent- ing youth from becoming drunks.— (Advt.). runks.— (Advt.).
