, FIRE PREVENTION
LAST YEAR there were 640 deaths in
Canada, due to fire.
Last year there was an estimated cost of
$50 millions to support fire fighting operations
and $169 millions for insurance against fire,
Property loss in Canada accounted for $137.4
millions.
With those facts before us, there is no
alternative to the realization that the prevention
of fire is terribly important.
This period irtt the year, immediately be-
fore the winter ,;cold season, it is even more
important than at other times. Be sure your
furnace or space heater is properly cleaned
and in good working order. It is better to be
cold for a while longer, than to be too hot, due
to fire, later in the year,
Check your wiring, and be sure you have
no over -loaded circuits,,. If wiring has been done
for some years, there is a chance that it may
be dangerous. Have a qualified electrician ad-
vise you on this.
Teach your family the way to proceed
wisely in the event of fire. Little things like
knowing enough to put a rug over the television
in case of fire, may save lives. A picture tube
explosion can have the effect of a hand grenade.
The rug will keep the glass from causing dam-
age to you and your loved ones.
If you have elderly people in your home,
be sure there is some way of getting them out-
side quickly in case of fire, Sit down and plan
with your family how each one of them can get
outside, if fire strikes. Make the older children
responsible for themselves, and for the younger
ones. You personally should take care of the
youngest and the oldest.
The youngsters know what to do at school
—they have regular fire drill to tell them. Have
home fire drill, too.
The proclamation for this week to be fire
prevention week, has been made locally by the
mayor of Clinton.
Fire prevention proclamation has been
made dominion -wide by Her Majesty, Queen
Elizabeth U. She urges that all buildings be
inspected; fire drills be held; special instruction
given; public meetings be held, and all things
possible done to help prevent this terrible loss
by fire.
YOU CAN HELP AT HOME.
PENALTY OF GREATNESS
(The Printed Word)
BROWN is a great success, but his career
has a dismal side to it, and one that points to
a faulty arrangement in civilization. When he
first began to get ahead, Brown was building
high-level bridges out West. Very romantic! He
did so well that he was put in charge of building
a railway in very rough terrain indeed; but in
the East, which is well-known to be Iess romant-
ic. It was during this phase, however, that he
turned up one day in town, with a bad cold.
He said his hat had blown off while he was out
in location in zero weather — and it was three
days before he could get to a village where there•
was a store, to buy another hat.
Looking back, it is now seen that when he
was building the railroad bare -headed was the
last great romantic phase of Brown's career.
Today, the most exposure he can get is to sneak
off from the office for a round of golf. Alas,
Brown is now the boss himself. And this shows
up civilization, for Brown, the success, is merely
another office man, chained to a big city,
Brown says is has always been this way.
He notes that Julius Caesar got along in a fine
romantic way while he was on location in Gaul,
Britain, crossing the Rubicon, and in Greece and
Egypt; but when he became the boss himself.
Caesar had to settle down in the big city of Rome
and go to the office every working day. It was
going to the office once too often that did
Caesar in.
YOUR WEEKLY PAYS FOR ITSELF
SOMETIMES you hear the complaint, "I
can't pay for the paper and I am going to cut
it off". This statement is made without giving
proper thought to what your paper is doing for
you, says the Meaford Express editorially,
The wise shopper knows the value of the
hometown paper and reclaims the cost many
times during the year in money saved through
study of the ads.
Every issue of your paper more than pays
for itself in news of what is happening in your
town and in providing you with advice on where
you can buy things at what price.
If you don't care what is going on around
you and don't want to save money then by all.
means cancel your paper , . , but not many of
us are in the position that we can take the oxy-
gen out of the air we breathe.
SUGAR and SPICE
(By W. (Bill)
I don't know what you're going
to do with yourself on Thanks-
giving Day, October 13. Maybe
you're going to get in that final
game of golf. Maybe you're going
hunting. Maybe you're going to
visit relatives, eat a vast turkey
dinner, and sit around, stultified,
watching television. Maybe you're
going to get drunk or married,
have a baby or fall in love. I
don't know what you have in
mind,.
* :u
But I know what I'm going to
do. I'm going to spend the whole
day being thankful. The golf
course, the rainbow trout fishing,
the partridge -haunted woods may
beckon, but I won't be interested.
I'm just going to sit around all
day, shaking hands with myself
and giving thanks.
:k h *
Why? Because it's my 14th an-
niversary. On October the 13th,
fourteen years ago, I was 8,000
feet in the air. I Was young, cocky,
slightly scared. I was moving at
220 miles an hour. I had a date
With a Belgian girl in Antwerp
that night, to look forward to.
K *
A few minutes later, a 40 -milli -
Meter Shell, a very hot, very hard
chunk of metal about the size of
a cucumber, passed through my
vehicle about four feet in front
of my nose, taking with it certain
B. T. Smiley)
fairly essential parts of my engine
* :k
In the deafening silence that
followed, I had about 60 seconds
to commune with myself, and any-
one else who was interested. I
called on the Lord, in no uncertain
manner. I don't know whether He
was interested or not, but a very
short time later, I was standing,
unharmed, in a ploughed field
somewhere in Holland.
* # :k
Of the eight pilots in my flight
that day, only one other is alive,
Six were blown to bits in midair,
or hit the ground at a speed of
over 500 miles an hour, or were
burned to death.
And that's why I'm going to do
a little quiet thanksgiving on Oc-
tober the 13th. I'm going to give
thanks that I'm alive, Being alive,
you know, is not so bad when you
just simmer down and think about
it. At times, life seems like no-
thing more than a vast series of
sorrow. But until they can offer
me something better, I'm going to
enjoy every minute of it,
* a: *
Next Monday, Thanksgiving
Day, I'm going to spend a little
time thinking about the six who
won't be hunting, golfing or eating
turkey. Oh, I'm not going to sit
around and brood about them, or
mourn over their "sacrifice".

They'd be the first to snort with
disgust if they caught me at any
such nonsense.
*
I'll think about them fondly, and
smilingly. I'll remember all the
good times we had: the roaring
nights in the pubs, the wild es-
capades, the girls we loved. I'll
remember each one as he was, a
young, careless, laughing pilot,
full of the juice of life.

Nick the New Zealander, with
his strange and wondrous oaths.
Dave, the Canadian, of the poker-
faced humor. "Dingle" Bell, the
very young Englishman with the
very young moustache. Paddy
Moran, the arguing Irishman.
Taffy Evans, the wild, blond Welsh-
man. Jock Fraser, the tough,
sardonic Scot from Inverness,
* * *
Not for them the growing old-
er, the teeth going, the hair re-
ceding, the body issuing warnings
of strain. But not for them either
the deep delight of a golden aut-
umn day, the satisfaction of rais-
ing children, the pleasure and
companionship of marriage.
* *
That's why I'll be thinking about
them, a little, on Thanksgiving
Day, in the midst of my private
thanksgiving for being alive and
well and having a family and so
many of the good things of life.
:k N *
And if there's a beaker handy,
I'll tip it to their shades with the
old toast: "Tough tit, types". And
they'll know what I mean.
