One reason why electricity serves us so well is that it can be delivered wherever, wires will carry it. Ontario Hydro exerts every effort to keep safe the wires that carry this important commodity, but in spite of all precautions, lines occasionally- break. ccasionallybreak. A fallen wire is dangerous ... it may be a "live wire". Never touch a fallen wire under any circumstances! Warn children not to go near them. If you find an electric wire on the ground, or dangerously low, please notify the nearest Hydro office and endeavour to keep others away until service men arrive. Your co-operation may be instrumental in ' saving a life. i4 it ed the winner of the boys' contest, is Mrs. Earl Kemp; the teacher at R.C.S.S. 4, which . provided the winner of the girls' contest, is Mrs. Joseph Melady.

Walton Wins Cup In Huron League The curtain has come down on the Huron Hockey League for that season, with Walton taking the trophy. This league is unique, in- asmuch as it was sponsored by the Huron Soccer League. While it is not unusual for a sports body to carry on summer and winter sports, soccer is not usually asso- ciated with hockey. The part that is interesting is the fact that all teams in the hockey league enter soccer teams, and the personal of the teams are practically the same for both sports. The games started in January at the Brussels arena, with a steady flow of customers for the "sin bin," but in the last six games Naisa l Kinsmen Aid Fire Victims Mr. and Mrs. John Moddejande, new Canadians, and their two ebil- dren• Elizabeth, two months, and Bert, 1'/2 years old, who recently lost everything they owned but the clothes they were wearing when fire levelled the two-storey frame house they were living in, moved Saturday into a home rented for them by Mr. Ross Forrest, who employs Mr. Moddejande. Mr. Forrest owned the home which was burned, with a loss of $5,500. Friday evening Hensall Kinsmen Club presented them with a ches- terfield suite, dresser, dishes and silverware and. other articles. They received a box containing a baby's layette, a quilt and clothes from Seaforth Red Cross and many other useful articles from neigh- bors, friends and from Hensall and community. it remained vacant, which was an indication of the sport -for -fun type player. All teams finished out of the red, as did the league. There is no doubt that both players 'and spectators enjoyed the fun, and the executive had an easy and en- joyable time. So, congratulations to the Walton boys for coming out on top. The losing teams deserve equal praise for staying in there, fora without the loser there would be no league. The annual meeting of the League will be held in a few weeks, so line up your soccer teams. CENTRE FORWARD REPORT INDICATES LIVING COSTS AT HURON COUNTY JAIL Average cost of maintaining each prisoner per day at Huron County Jail in Goderich is $9.38— third highest average among the Province's 45 jails—according to the annual report of the Depart- ment of Reform Institutions pre- sented by the minister of the de- partment, Hon. John W. Foote, to the Legislative Assembly. The report shows that for the year ending March 31, 1954, the average maintenance, cost per day per prisoner for the entire pro- vince was $4.06. Highest average cost was at the Dufferin County Jail in Orange- ville, $11.10. Second highest was at the Fort Frances District Jail, $11.02. Six Per Day Considered as likely a contribut- ing factor in the relatively high cost here was the fact that the Goderich jall had an averageof only six prisoners per day—third lowest in the province. Carleton County Jail in 'Ottawa, with an average daily population of only 2.7, was the lowest, and Prince Edward County Jail in Pic - ton was second lowest with an average of five prisoners. The report Shows that the God- erich jail and the one at Fort Frances have the least accommo- dation for prisoners. Huron Coun- ty Jail has accommodation for nine men and three women, while the Fort Frances jail can accom- modate 10, men and two women. Greatest number of persons to have been housed at any one time during the year ending March 31, 1954, at the Huron jail was 14, and all of these were men. Great- est nurnber of women in the insti- tution at one time was one. The figures showed that there had been a total of 144 persons committed during the year, 141 men and three women. This was the fourth smallest total of pris- oners committed among the jails in the province. There were 84 committeed to the Oran.geville-jail, 126 to Prescott County Jail in L'Original and 138 to the Picton jail. About half of those committed to Goderich jail, 70 prisoners, re- ceived sentences under 30 days. Twenty received suspended sent- ences. But despite the fact that the average cost of keeping a prisoner was relatively high, the figures show that the cost of feeding in- mates was about on a par with the average cost of all the pris- oners, and the cost of food was relatively low. Daily per capita dietary cost at the jail was .4459 cents, while the average dietary cost for the province was .4152 cents. Cost of food for the year was reported to have been $975.65. Only two places reported lower costs for food. L'Original's food cost was lowest at $827.06, and Orangeville's cast was listed at $349.49. YOUR CREDIT UNION SPEAKS This week we are continuing the questions and answers in regard to savings. Q.: May members withdraw at will? A.: Yes. A member may with- draw any_ day the Credit Union is open for business. However, if the member has a considerable sum in shares, the sudden with- drawal of which would embarrass the Credit Union, the member may be required to give 60 days' notice. This is merely a measure of pre- caution. Q.: Do members carry pass- books, the same as depositors in banks? A.: Yes. Q.: I have beard that Credit Union savings are insured. What does this mean? - A.: It simply means that the life of an insurable member may be insured in an amount equal to his previous savings to the age 55, but in no case exceeding $1,000. . Insurable savings accumu- lated after age 55 are insured on a pro rata basis. The premium for this insurance is 'paid by the Credit Union, as long as the sav- ings remain in the Credit Union. Your Credit Union wants you to always keep in mind the primary purpose of this organization is to promote thrift and provide credit for its members. Next week we will provide you with information regarding loans'. and hope they will be of interest to all interested in obtaining loans from the Credit Union, providing you are a member, for almost any purpose that is productive and pro- per under the scrutiny of the credit committee.
