WATSON, Secretary - Parliament Buildings, TORONTO Warns Of Fire Danger On Farm A survey of farm fires has shown that the greatest total dam- age. to farms by fire occur during the first quarter of the year, Most of these fires are dwelling fires, and most farm dwelling fires oc- cur during the month of February. There are a number • of causes of fires on farms. Among them are faulty heating systems, inade- quate lighting protection. careless use of matches, improper storage of inflammable liquids, and "just plain carelessness," says Prof. D. Witherspoon, of the Department of Agricultural Engineering, at the Ontario Agricultural College. Among the defects in farm heat- ing systems which can cause fires are unsound chimneys and flues. Cracks in chimneys near the roof line allow sparks to get out on the roof. Soot in dirty chimneys also contributes to the fire hazard. be- cause the soot may ignite if the heating system becomes overheat- ed. Farmers are cautioned against using stoves which are too small for the job they have to do. and in order to give adequate heat have to be overheated. It is safer and more economical to use the size of stove for the size of room recommended by the manufactur- er. While most farms have lightning protection, few farms have a sys- tem which is in good working or- der, states the O.A.C. authority. He emphasizes that ground' conductors should be protected so that they cannot be broken by livestock or implements, since a broken ground connection changes a lightning pro- tection system to a fire hazard. Lightning points should stand er- ect. and there should be a continu- ous electrical conductor from the point to the ground. Metal roofs, hay fork tracks. and metal door tracks should all be 'grounded if possible. Matches need to be used with care. They should be kept out of the reach of children; they should be of the "safety" type if possible, and should be completely extin- guished before being thrown away. No smoking should be permitted in any farm buildings. With the increased use of elec- tricity on farms, many electrical circuits on farms have become ov- erloaded. It is a good rule to have an electrician familiar with farm wiring check the electrical installa- tions every two or three years. It . is portant to know that most cir- ! cuits use a 15 ampere fuse; the i use of a larger -numbered fuse, say 20, creates a hazard. The following rules are suggest- ed with regard to the handling of inflammable liquids: don't handle them in closed spaces; don't smoke while handling them; don't use them near an open flame; don't store them in buildings. By way of preparation in the ev- ent of fire, it is good insurance to have a family discussion about what each would do in the event of a fire. A note beside the telephone giving directions to a fire depart- ment can be read by anyone who used the phone. A fire department should know how best to get to where you live. and what water supply is available, and from what distance from the buildings, so sufficient equipment can be brought. Fire extinguishers should be available in all buildings. The first five minutes of a fire often mean the difference between the loss of a few dollars and the loss of life savings. Preparedness saves money—and lives. THE Now is the time for home improvements— THE During the slack winter months, skilled labour is easier to obtain than at any other time of the year.

LAURENT CELEBRATES 75th BIRTHDAY (By Norman Campbell, in the Ottawa Citizen) Friday is Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent's 75th birthday. Uncle Louie—as he is familiarly known to most Canadians—reach- es a milestone. And he finds life good—full of satisfactions, guided by Divine Providence which pro- vides the disappointment now and then to chasten his bounding spir- it The prime minister graciously gave your Citizen reporter a half- hour the other evening. I asked some questions and the prime min- ister gave the answers slowly en- ough that I didn't miss a word of the answers. The Questions First question: Have you found the satisfactions of public life more than compensate for the burdens—for the time you are com- pelled to stay away from the fam- ily fireside? Mr. St. Laurent's answer: "1 have a sense of feeling that I've done my best since I came up to Ottawa and the added satisfaction, or conceit, if you will. of thinking a lot of other people recognize that is so. "It is pretty well known that I hadn't planned that kind of a car- eer. But I had always preached that in a democracy everyone should be prepared to play what his fellow -citizens thought would be his proper part in public af- fairs." Second question: Haye you ev- er regretted, except ,momentarily, your decision presumably arrived at in 1945, to stay in public life after the war was over? Answer: "My decision to stay in public life was not arrived at. in 1945. I had always intended to go back to my practice as soon as the war was over but when it end- ed it became possible for me to explain as I couldn't explain be- fore for security reasons. why I had taken the stand I did take when the conscription issue had to be voted on in Parliament. "I had the satisfaction of mak- ing them feel that I had had good reasons and had not, in fact, be- trayed them. "Then when it became evident that a majority of our party in parliament wished me to stay on and to lead the party. I had a very difficult decision to make. (This was in 1948). An End To Legend "It would have given me no satisfaction to be chosen as leader and not have that choice ratified by the electorate but many friends. not all of them of my own party. in whom I had confidence, assured me that if I was chosen to lead the party that choice would be rati- fied by the country and would put an end to the legend that there could never again be a French- speaking Catholic prime minister. "I felt it would help to promote and to cement national unity if the French-speaking people got rid of that impression and I must ad- mit it was a great satisfaction to me to have the 1949 election turn out as it did, not so much that I wanted to remain in office as be- cause I wanted that kind of an im- pression to be erased from the minds of Canadians of my racial background" Mr. St. Laurent said that he felt his experience at the bar had been helpful to him as prime minister. He added: "In the last 15 years I've enjoyed the friendship of very many people I hold in high esteem and with whom I would not have had the same intimate contacts had I remained in private prac- tice." . Disappointments Mr. St, Laurent volunteered that he had disappointments. "I'm still disappointed to have to realize that there are some peo- ple who continue to assert that when one is endeavoring to fur- ther promote national unity he is necessarily at the same time at- tempting to sabotage the original scheme of Confederation. "I've never felt that Canada, had to be or should be a melting pot, but I've always felt that it could and should be the land of one Can- adian nation without in any way impinging on the constitutional jurisdiction of the local authori- ties." Mr. St. Laurent added that he thought the misgivings about cen- tralization were on the wane. Question: Do you Iook forward with any anticipation to the day when you will lay down the bur- dens of the prime minister's of- fice and the Liberal leadership? Answer: "Since it became evi- dent to me that the party wanted me to remain at its head for the next election campaign I haven't attempted to look beyond the reso- lution to continue to do my best as long as I felt I had the health and strength to carry on." Question: Have you any special recipe for the singular vitality and zest you have at 75? Answer: "I have no special re- cipe for what you are pleased to call vitality and zest, but it may perhaps in part be accounted for by the realization that no one man can run the affairs of the whole world and when one has done his best to promote what he thinks might be the best course for his country, he has to be prepared to accept events as they develop and believe they have been ordained by a greater and wiser Power." When the index of textile indus- try wages is adjusted to the index of retail prices it shows that Can- adian textile workers now enjoy 65 per cent more buying power than in 1939. Zurich kir Plans For 1957; Name Officers The annual meeting and reor- ganization of the Zurich Agricul- tural Society was held in the Town Hall, Zurich, Thursday afternoon, E.
