All eight families were represent- ed with 21 persons in attendance. The topic. "Fire On the Farm," was discussed, after which pro- gressive euchre was played. Those winning prizes were: high. Mrs. Frank Riley and Verne Dale; low, Mrs. Verne Dale and Ross McGre- gor. ft was decided at the first meet- ing that one lady would provide lunch, instead of two as has been the custom, and that sandwiches and cookies would be provided in place of cakes, tarts and cream puffs. Lunch was served by Mrs. Bill Dale. Wilbur Jewitt invited the forum to his home for the next meet- ing. SS. 2 FORUM S.S. No. 2, McKillop Farm Forum met Monday evening at the home of Mr. Miller Adams. Topic un- der disoussion was "Fire on. the Farm." Fire is a serious hazard on the farm and its threat is present at all times of the year. Most farm losses can be traced to careless- ness, so the responsibility for cut- ting down farm fire losses rests with each farmer and his family. This forum felt fortunate in hav- ing a municipal farm fire truck in the community. but thought it should have an extra water truck. A few games of cards were en- joyed after the discussion and lunch was served. Next Monday evening the meet- ing will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W .R. Scott. FIRESIDE FARM FORUM The Fireside Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Babcock, Hullett, with 26 adults present. The topic, "Fire On the Farm," was thoroughly discussed following the broadcast. In answer to the first question, "How many farm fires have there been within 10 miles of your farm this past year?" there had been six fires. The second question: "What steps can be taken by individual farmers to prevent fires?" was an- swered by seven points: Keep all rubbage away from buildings; keep hot ashes in tin containersi, keep old electrical wiring checked; do not overload circuits; do not have the tractor hot when refill- ing; be sure to keep gas barrels at a safe distance from buildings; do not use inflamable liquid to revive a fire. Five steps to control fires if they do start were: Use fire extin- guisher; have good length of hose; if fire is in stove, use salt or sul- phur; call your neighbors to give assistance; be sure to keep your head and don't get panicky. The neighborhood could organ- ize more effectively to fight ser- ious farm fires. At present, Hul- lett Township have an agreement with the town fire brigade to be on call at all times. Winners of euchre were: high. Mrs. R. Dalton and Hugh Flynn; lone hands. Mrs. G. Hoggart and Doug Riley; low, Mrs. N. Cook and Lawrence Taylor. The group will meet next week at the holm: of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Flynn. CROMARTY FORUM Cromarty Farm Forum met Mon- day evening in the Cromarty School and discussed the topic, "Fire On the Farm." Results of the discussion were: Be careful at all times to see that electric wir- ing is checked over. Do not over- load electric motors. To control fires if they are seen starting, fire extinguishers could be used We think that little could be clone if fire starts on the farm. Local fire brigade can protect oth- er buildings. For the election, Harvey Dow was elected president, and Mrs. Gerald Carey, secretary -treasurer. A social hour was spent playing euchre, crokinole and throwing darts. Ladies' high, Mrs. Harvey Dow; low. Mrs. Gerald Carey; men's high. Bert Riley; low, Har- vey Dow; lucky number, Mrs. Wm. Harper. Next week's topic will be, "Is Local Government Effective?" Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Carey were in charge of the evening's arrange- ments. Everyone is welcome to attend these farm forums, and the group would appreciate a larger attendance. PARR LINE FORUM Parr Line Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Coleman on Monday evening. There were 20 adults and six chil- dren present. The topic for dis- cussion was. "Fire On the Farm." After listening to the radio broad- cast. the forum divided into two groups and retired for their dis- cussions. Question 1: "How many farm fires have there been within 10 miles of your Forum in the last year?" Answer: We could think of four farm fires within the last year. Question 2: "What steps can be taken on individual farms (a) to prevent fires? (b) To control' fires if they sart?'' Answer: (a) There are a great many ways in which to prevent fires. Carelessness is sometimes the main cause for fires. We think everyone should practise good housekeeping in the house and barn. Don't turn on ele- ments on the stove when not in use. Don't leave oily rags lying around. Do not leave stoves un- checked and then leave the house. Do not light fires with inflamable oils. Keep matches away from children. Don't smoke when work- ing in the barn or near any in- flamable material. Keep chimneys clean and in 'good repair. Don't fill a tractor with gas when the manifold is still hot. Everyone should check their own wiring or have someone check it for them. Do not rely nn the inspector: he may not be able to come to your farm for quite a while, (b) Sometimes it is hard to control a fire, because it may have gotten out of hand before you no- tice it. but at least you may be able to save other buildings. We think you should always have your fire extinguisher handy Have a good water supply Some of the members thought that a good farm pond would he very useful to have in case of a fire. Plan your exits tin case of a house fire. Above all, be calm. Another good suggestion was: never use water on gas or oil fires. There ard7powdered acids available for such fires. Question 3: "What can your neighborhood do to organize more effectively to fight serious barn fires?" We thought that there should be an agreement between the township and the nearest town's fire brigade. Don't go to a fire empty-handed. Take buckets and fire extinguishers with you. Re- member, that on a rural party line, one long continuous ring is the sig- nal of a fire in the community. One good suggestion was: if you are going to a fire just for curios- ity, stay at home; you can only hinder those who are trying to help. After 'the discussion period a few games of progressive euchre were played. The winners were: ladies, Mrs. Stewart Blackwell and Mrs. Howard Adkins; gents, Wilfred. Mousseau and Carl Reichert. The travelling lone hands prize was won by Howard Adkins. The hos- tess served lunch and another en- joyable evening was brought to a close. • The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

He suffered burns to his face, right arm, right side of his chest '• and left forearm. • • Lloyd Mousseau, Hensall arena ' manager, who was with the To- ronto man in the engine room, suf- fered minor ammonia fume eto fects and was treated at the hos- pital and released. Escaping injury was Dave Sang- ster, chairman of the Hensall Arena Board. Following the removal of the in- jured men, Reeve William Parke and Constable Ernie Davis attend- ed at the engine room where the compressor was still in operation. .,. They arrived just as the room was '4 rocked by a flash explosion. Both men were unhurt by the initial explosion, which was followed by two of lesser proportion. A head gasket in the compressor blew out Saturday morning, accord- ing to Reeve Parke, and contact was made with the Toronto firm for immediate repairs. At mid-afternoon Mr. Weigold arrived and made the necessary repairs. However, as the compres- sor was started up, the new gasket, which had just been installed, also blew out, resulting in the injuries to the men.
