The fire brigade was soon on duty, but the fire had gained considerable headway and had already broken through the roof. of the Exhange Hotel. The fire was soon gotten under control, but not until the roof was considerably dam- aged, and the interior ,of the building not only badly scorched, but very much damaged by the flood of water poured in. The fire seems to have originated around the chimney. As we close our forms Wednesday morning, we have not been able to ascertain the loss, nor amount of insurance. The contents were seriously damaged by water and removal. On, Sunday afternoon, Weir, (son of Mrs. J. J. Elliott) and Miss Waller, of Galt, were crossing the old foot- bridge over the power race, when the planks gave way and they were plung- ed into the deep water. Weir swam out and ran for assistance. Miss Waller clinging to a plank, until Robt. Lock- ridge came to her assistance. Fortun- ately help came quickly, but the oc- curenct came near to being inach more serious and perhaps fatal, for the water is deep. Mr. John McCieight, near White- church, lost a fine young cow on Sun- day last. She squeezed herself into a narrow passage, and then thrust her head into a still narrower place to get at some potatoes. Then in trying to back out, she broke her neck. She was soon to calve, and thus another loss has been added to the succession of heavy losses that have fallen to the lot of Mr. MeCreight. 0 - 0 - 0 TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO Mr. Gordon Deyell met with a rather painful accident, which might easily have proved more serious, when thre- shing at Wesley Joynt's farm near St. Helens. While putting on a belt, his foot slipped, and he fell between the two belts being knocked uncon- scious. He sustained a dislocated shoulder, bad burns and cut about the head and arms, and a general severe shaking up, Dr. Connell, of Lucknow, rendered medical attention and the patient is progressing favourably. Thomas and William MacKay, for- mer Wingham boys, grandsons of the late Thomas Abraham, have made good in musical line in Detroit, where their selections are broadcast every Friday evening at 9 o'clock from WWJ, Detroit News. These two boys with B.. Hall go by the name of "The String Pickers," which naturally sug- gests guitar, mandolin and banjo, and have received many pleasing letters from the audience. For the third time in little more than twelve months, F. R. Millers gar- age at the corner of Elgin and Victoria St., Goderich, was burglariously enter- ed some time during Thursday night last, The thieves also entered C. C. Lee's Hardware store at the harbour, and they are suspected of having made an unsuccessful attempt at en- tering at least one other place. At the Miller place 'the burglars carried off 25 tires, softie spark plugs, some silver and the contents of a pay telephone. Mr. J. A. Allen of the Standard Bank, Deseronto, has severed his con- nection with the bank and is entering with the Homer/L. Gibson & Co., brokers, of Toronto. 0 - 0 - 0 FIFTEEN YEARS AGO On and after Monday, November 1st., CKNX will be operated as a 100 watt station, double the power that it has been using for the past year. When this station first operated it had a power of 10 watts. This was later increased to 25 watts and just a year ago the power was raised to 50 watts. For many years W. T. Cruick- shank operated the station practically by himself but now the personnel of the station is,: W. T. Cruickshank, general manager;. B. Howard Bedford, commercial and program director; Harry J. Boyle, production and mer- chandising director and Reg. Douglas. The High School Literary Society met Friday in the school auditorium and an enjoyable program was pre- sented. John Gear presided and also gave his inaugural address to the scholars. The program consisted of a piano solo by Edith Weir; journal, Muriel Williams; critic's remarks, by Principal W. S. Hall. Two short plays were enacted by a number of the scholars. The first scenes from "Rom- eo and Juliet" were taken by the fifth form students and commercial class. Miss Mabel Marshall took the part of Romeo, and Ruth Mitchell, Juliet. The second sketch, "St. Joan" was enacted by the following: Margaret Aitken, Elgin Coutts, Ralph Baird and Harry Posliff. Mr. Omar Stokes, of Glenannan, R. R. 11., had the misfortune to lose one of his best horses, a beautiful black mare. The horse had not previously been sick and it is thought that during the night the mare had strained her- self causing internal injuries. Willis Hall, John St., while working at Cook's Factory, fell and fractured his leg.

We have all been on the receiving end of someone's glare and generally it is an uncontrollable feeling, but in the long run these dirty looks haven't harmed us. There is another type of glare that is much more deadly. Do you recall the last time you blinked your head- lights at an approaChing vehicle whose bright headlights made it impossible to see the road ahead? Sometimes the other driver will dim his lights and other times he won't, Even more trying are cars whose lights, even on dim, glare as if they were on bright. There is no doubt that present light designs not only produce excessive glare but are inefficient for modern day driving. Two factors which are mostly responsible for hazardous lighting are design or construction and mount- ing or adjustment. There are no laws in any of the provinces in Canada which can be upheld to reduce the headlight glare hazard, Aiming standards as advised by the Headlighting Com- mittee in the U.S.A. do not take into consideration many factors in design, mounting and aiming which contribute to the excessive glare conditions. on our highways. Experts, who have Made a study of headlight glare and beam misuse—which multiplies the hazards—say that a change is needed in design to allow a more courteous use of the two beams (high and low). It has been proved that the available roadlight from the low beam is not sufficient to allow a safe driving or passing light, at high- way speeds. Down in the United States the National Committee; on Uniform Traffice Laws and Ordinances has approved a change in the Uniform Vehicle Code dealing with mul- tiple beam roadlighting equipment. The revision deletes the requirement of the 8,000 candle power at one degree of arc above the center of the lamps. It is felt that this revision eliminates a requirement which has for a long time handicapped lamp designers without compensating advantages. Presumably the 8,000 candle power was in- tended as a glare limit but it is actually several times the maximum permissible from the glare standpoint. Elimin- ation of the 8,000 candle power limit one degree increase the freedom of design for the lower beam which is being used to a steadily increasing extent because of rising traffic density and for which an improvement is , ra,;:gita 7 wr.t ;v. required. Here in Canada we have no national or provincial motor vehicle safety committee with funds or authority. We have no motor vehicle registrars 'association with an interest in the problems of motoring. Only by making his, personal feelings on this subjject known can the motorist make a contribution to increased safety in night driving. t A FIRE EVERY TEN MINUTES , All throw+ the ages man has been prone to take an apathetic view of dangerous conditions which are ap- parent to ordinary reasoning, and eventually catastrophe occurs. Year after year newspapers, fire marshals, surance associations and other fire prevention authorities publicize their efforts with a view to awakening the public to the ever present danger of fire. Despite all these efforts the fire bill for Canada reaches a figure that is one Canadians cannot be proud of. In 1951 there were reported in Canada, 66,159 fires causing the death of 494 persons and property loss esti- mated at over $80,000,000. It is the old story of "it can't happen to me" and until such time as a fire occurs and affects a particular individual, fire wastage is regarded as "just one of those-things". On an average, every 10 or 15 minutes a fire occurs in some home, institution or manu- facturing premises causing untold disolution, loss of lives, homes, factories and jobs. The tragedy of these fires is that most of them are caused through carelessness. If more care were exercised and thought given to eliminate or minimize potential fire hazards the yearly toll of des- truction could be easily reduced. The property, Forest and Federal Government, losses of over $80,000,000 in 1951 effects the economy of the economy of the country. In other words, we wasted this sum in buildings and goods. "Vire Prevention Week" is designed to focus public attention upon a great and ever present social and. economic problem, but it does not mean that efforts to reduce fires should be confined to this. one week, as the perils of fire are present 365 days of the year. It .is said that half the business firms burned out by a total fire loss never resume business. What does this mean? Loss of jobs, loss of tax revenue to the municipal- ity, and 8o. the locality is that much poorer. The objective of all business must be . the eradication of fire hazards by constant attention to all the principles of fire protection and prevention measures. * * SURGERY IN YOUR LIVING ROOM I3oth the American medical profession and the tele- viewing public are claimed to have taken the public televising of a gory surgical operation in. their stride, according to an account in the current issue of HEALTH magazine, There were those, however, including . some executives of the American Medical Association and U.S. television critics, who questioned the propriety of such a spectacle..
