SCOTT SPEAKING OF COLD WEATHER, may we remind our readers again about the in- creased danger of fire during these crisp Jan- uary days. houses be- come'hot and dry and heating systems are taxed to the utmost. It's a good idea M make sure the 'heating equipment is working properly. Also, keep matches out of the way of children. ' Many a fire was started inno- cently by a curious youngster playing with matches. These a r e perhaps obvious things but it does pay to re- mind • ourselves abouf them. And finally, be sure to write the Tele- phone number of your Fire Department in the °e front of your telephone directory andmake sure everyone, includ- ing the baby -sitter, knows were it the event of fire, phone the Fire Department immediately In every second counts! • Our Film Library About 700,000 members of service clubs or other or- ganizations throughout On- tario and Quebec saw Bell films last year.
