In this letter we would like to touch | This week is always the calendar briefly on membership in regard to week including October 9th, the anni- the Legion. We often wonder why so ■ versary of the great Chicago fire of 1871. Such a disaster serves to under line the necessity of bringing before the public a much needed awareness of fire prevention. Fire Prevention Week should not be regarded just as a seven-day per iod for projecting fire prevention pro grams, displaying posters all over the community, school drills and group meetings. Rather, it should many veterans who are eligible in the most exclusive organization in the world, do not belong . The price is that- we must serve till death, if nec essary, to belong yet, the percentage is not as high as we would like to see it. True, the Legion is stronger today than it ever has been . If we are not strong and united, we cannot expect the Governments to listen to our pleas 1L qnuum for increased pensions for the dis- I regarded as the week of initiation of abled, the widows and children of dis- a year-round activity promoted to eased veterans. j make our country a safer place When we visit other branches we . which to live. are somtimes stunned to' see such Fire Prevention Week is not a new well known members of the Ministry institution. It has, over a period of in our presence and find how easy it, years, developed increasing signifi es to talk to these members of the ■ cance and earned a respected place in cloth. It is indeed a pleasure- and hon- 1 the regular affairs of every progres- our to speak to such members as our I sive community in Canada and the Dominion President, the Very Rev. United States. It signifies rhe Dean 'Anderson, of Ottawa, or the i mencement of a campaign Rev. Davies, past speaker of the Ont ario legislature, to mention a few. We think it is good for members of the cloth to belong to the Legion. We have been told that some Padres would like to belong to the Legion but their congregations objected. Why so, I cannot say, because I believe the veteran and the Legion need these men both spiritually and in an advis ory capacity. I am sure it would be a pleasant surprise to see these men around the Legion more often. Last Wednesday two carloads of local members attended the fall zone meeting in Goderich, which was at tended by nine branches of Zone Cl. The officers for the next term were installed by Provincial vice-president, Fred O’Brecht, Durham, assisted by Deputy District Commander Earl Gray, Walkerton, and Regional vice- president, Chester Meriam, Tara. The officers were Herman Young, Kin cardine, zone commander; Jack Bate son, Wingham, deputy zone comman der; Don Miller, Kincardine, secre tary; Harold Turner, Goderich, treas urer. The speaker was Andrew Robin son, MP. for Bruce. KNOTHOLE NEWS After an executive meeting last week we understand the wheels have been put in motion for activities for November 11th. We hear the vets are getting their guns out again. Not another war, but a fowl shoot to be held early this fall. We wonder if any of the members will be going up .to the hall on Wed nesday afternoons to take dancing lessons. They might look a little out of place with the wee tots we see there. Had some very unwelcome guests at the Hall this past week. Had to spray the place to get rid of several hundred wasps that had invaded the rooms. In any organization you generally have several committees. Many are necessary, while others are not. These remind us of the definition: Commit tee—A group of the unfit, appointed the unwilling to do the unnecessary. See you at the fall District C meet ing, to be held in Owen Sound on Sunday, October 16th. THEY SERVE TILL DEATH .... WHY NOT WE? ‘ civic be in com- of a campaign which should be carefully planned so as to enlist the co-operation of every citi zen and of every organization in the community for a concerted effort to prevent, as far as possible loss of life and property as a result of fires. Response to Fire Prevention Week should be spontaneous and enthusias tic. All citizens sincere in their desire to see the country’s economy make progress have a stake in Fire Pre vention Week. They realize full well that property destroyed by fire is ir revocably lostxand the community and the nation suffer as the consequence of such loss. Economic disaster to a community often follows on the heels of a large fire. Let us look at the latest available annual fire loss record in our country. The total property loss by fire was $84,270,896.00 representing a loss per person of $5.70. These losses represent an increase of about* $4,000,000.00 over the previous year when the total loss was $80,902,205.00 with a loss per per son of $5.61. The record shows 67,519 fires, an increase of 3,416 over the previous year. The loss of life by fire was 477, as compared to 562 in the previous year. It is indeed tragic to note the re cord shows that more than half of all the fires in Canada occur in homes. This fact alone should emphasize beyond any doubt the need for fire prevention. This heavy toll of destruction of life and property by fire must not con tinue. A strong and vigorous cam paign should be launched during Fire Prevention Week and followed up Without restraint throughout the year. CLINTON TO BUY WORKS BUILDING Clinton will buy a large cement block building and lot on James street, in town from Contractor George F. Elliott for $6,300. The sale includes a used power-grader. The building will be used to house the street equipment for the public works department. At the same time the Town Council approved the sale of a strip of town property at the community park to George Lavis, Clinton, for $100. The land is 54 by 275 feet and is adjacent to a gully at the northeastern end of town. When council gave approval to two building permits, Councilor Norman Livermore stated: “When a citizen is granted a building permit, some one in authority should see that the build ing is being erected where it Will not Interfere,’* BELMORE Presbyterian W.M.S. The September meeting of the Wo men's Missionary Society was held in Belmore Presbyterian Church, on September 22nd. Mrs. Harvey Ballagh, the president, opened the meeting with the call to worship. The Scripture was read by Miss K. MacLennan. Mrs. Zinn used a map of India to illustrate her topic “That Ye May Teach,’’ after which Mrs. Weir led in prayer. Mrs. K. Dickson reported interesting news of our missionary workers. The roll call was answered by naming a mis sionary to Formosa. Mrs. Zinn de scribed the articles contributed to the bale. After a business discussion, Mrs. Ballagh closed the meeting with pray er.

Adams assisted in the reading of passage of Scripture from Luke and a discussion followed on the pas sages read.
