Urges Retailers to Wor
In Fire Prevention Work
Retail stores along Main
Street were urged by the.
Canadian Underwriters'
Association foday to ob-
serve Fire Prevention
Week by making a check
of their establishments for
any possible fire hazards.
They were urged to
check these points:
* Make sure, when goods
are unpacked, that packing
cases are disposed of im-
mediately. Corrugated pap-
er cartons and. cardboard
boxes are combustibles on
which fire feeds.
* When unpacking mer-
chandise for 'display on
counters or shelves, be
sure workmen do not block
aisles with boxes or push
trucks:
* Check all exits and
make sure they are clearly
marked with exit signs. Al-
DO YOUR PART!
". . . defective •electric
wiring . . . "
How many times have you noticed
the above reported as the cause of
serious fires? Have you ever giv-
en any thought as to safety of your
own wiring -- in your home, your
Dffice, or your factory?
ELECTRICITY IS SAFE AND RELIABLE!
When Proper Observance is Given to These Simple Rules:
1. See that all wiring extensions are carried ,out by
qualified -and experienced wiring contractors. This
insures final check-up by the Wiring Inspector of
the Hydro-Eleclric Power Commission of Ontario.
.2. Never use fuses larger than 15 amperes on branch
circuits in -your ho'use.
3. Don't "plug" fuses by inserting coins behind them.
The fuse serves similarly to the safety valve of a
boiler.
4. Make frequent inspection of flexible cords.
5. Don't hang any electric wire on mails. Dont tack
extension cords to baseboard or walls.
6. Keep electrical heating devices away from combus-
tibles.
7. Keep lamps away from clothing, paper, etc..
8. Never use iron, toaster or lamps as hed warmers.
9. Install convenience outlets to avoid excessive lengths of extension cords.
10. NEVER USE GASOLINE IN YOUR ELECTRIC WASHER!
Violation of These Rules, Resulting in Fire; May Invalidate Your
Fire Insurance Policy
We welcome this opportunity of co-
operating in the observance -of

highly flammable Mater-
ials.
* Make sure all employ-
ees know how to call "the
fire department both by
phone and by fire alarm
box. If an employee is dis-
patched to sen an alarm
from a fire box he. should
be instructed to stay by
the box until the fire de-
partment arrives so that
he can tell firemen where
the fire is.

not remember or do not
know the price, put, down
a figure representing what
you think its present value
is.
This list can be made in
duplicate. One copy should
be plated with your fire
insurance policy. The oth-
er you may give to your
insurance man -so that he
will have it for his refer-
ence if you have a fire.

small items you may have
in drawers, such as jewel-
ery and watches. Don't ov-
erlook valuable apparel and
items on shelves in boxes.
