FORDWICH-- The Christ-
mas meeting of the U.C,W.
was held in the Sunday School
rooms with the men as guests.
The room was attractive with
a lighted Christmas tree and
the program was presented be-

large star sent down its silver
beams.

"What caused the explosion
at your house?" "Powder on
my coat sleeve."
Fire safety comes first in
plans for the festive season,
says Fire Chief David Crothers,
in a special Christmas message-
to all citizens. The Chief
warns that a happy Christmas
can change in a few seconds to
a family tragedy, unless spe-
cial care is taken in the choice
of a Christmas tree, and pre-
cautions against fire as long as
it stands in the home. He
urges the public to obey the
following rules for a happy
Belmore merchant
dies in hospital
BELMORE-- A solemn
gloom descended on the vil-
lage of Belmore on Tuesday,
December 5, when word was
received that Harry Press had
passed away in Wingham and
District Hospital.
Harry George Press was
born in February 1896, in St.
Vincent Township, Grey
County. In later years he
farmed in that area, until the
autumn of 1941 when he came
elmore and became part of
the business world by operat-
ing his own general store. He
also became postmaster for the
village, a position he held un-
til February of 1966 when he
retired.
Mr. Press was predeceased
by his wife in May, 1954. He
is survived by one son K.C.
Press of Belmore; two grand-
children, and four brothers,
Gordon of Sault Ste. Marie,
Michigan, Arthur of eoronto,
Charles of Stayner, and John
of Kimberley. Two sisters
and one brother predeceased
him.
The body rested at the
Moir funeral home in Gorrie
until Thursday at 1 p.m.,
when funeral service was con-
ducted by Rev. E.R. Hawkes
of Bluevale and Belmore Pres-
byterian Churches. Interment
was in Thornbury Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Vernon Reid
of Wingham, and George Inglis
Elmer Jeffray, Norman Newans,
Earl McNee and Harry Mulvey,
all of this area. Flower bear-
ers were Peter and John Newans
Peter and Barry Mulvey.
Mr. Press was a member m
Masonic Lodge No. 162, A.F.
& A.M. A Masonic service
was held in the funeral home
on Wednesday evening.
Christmas safe from fires
Buy only fresh green trees,
if you prefer the natural kind,
and keep the tree outdoors or
in a unheated garage until you
are ready to set up and decor-
ate. Then, cut one or two
inches diagonally from the butt,
and set up the tree in water,
which should he replenished
regularly to keep the butt cov-
ered.
Check all electric lighting
strings for frayed cords and
possible short circuits. Buy
only lighting sets which are
CSA-approved, and only non-
flammable decorations. Never
smoke near the tree, and keep
matches out of the hands of
children.
When gifts are opened, do
not allow the wrappings to lie
under the tree. Even a moist
tree will burn readily if ex-
posed to a ring of burning paper
around its base.
Keep the tree away from
such sources of heat as fire-
places, stoves, radiators or
TV sets. Do not allow the tree
to block access to doors or
windows in the event of fire
from any cause, Always
swiiCh -off tree lights before
leaving home or going to bed.
Chief Crothers points out
that tests have proved that the
safest tree is a tree with its
Our sympathy is extended
to K.C. Press, his wife Jean,
and children Russel and Gwen,
on the passing of a beloved
father and grandad, Harry
Press. The village somehow
isn't the same without Harry's
friendly smile in the corner
store.
Members of the Belmore
United Church Women held a
successful bazaar in the hall
on Friday afternoon of last
week.
We're sorry that little
Carolyn Mulvey is hospitalized,
having a bout with pneumonia,
and hope het condition improves
so she'll be feeling perky
enough to greet Santa.
Evidence of the high re-
gard in which all of us held our
local merchant, Harry Press,
was the large representation of
village folk at funeral services
on Thursday of last week.
Flowers were placed in both
butt set in water. If a tree has
dried out, however, before it
is set up, it cannot regain its
safe moisture level. A dry tree,
he warns, can be ignited by a
single match, to burn violently
to a charred state in a few
seconds.
So-called " flame -proof-
ing" of natural trees, by spray-
ing with chemical mixtures,
is not a sure protection; and
even artificial trees present
their own serious fire hazards.
Metallic trees, because they
are conductors of electricity,
should never be decorated with
strings of lights. If lighing is
desired, it should be provided
by floodlights set apart from
the tree.
Some plastic trees, made
from styrene materials, and
those trees known as "Hong
Kong" trees, are flammable
and may burn violently.
Never use candles on or
near the Christmas tree, or in
holders made from polystyrene
foam.
Fire Chief Crothers adds a
final serious warning.
"Never leave small child-
reriunattended. This is even
more important at a season
when last-minute shopping, or
visiting with friends, may
tempt parents to relax their
vigilance."
the Presbyterian Church and
the McIntosh United Church,
in his memory.
If you were out strolling
on Sunday and Monday of this
week, you had to have your
wits about you, or you would
be counting stars in no time.
Unfortunately, Belmore did
not escape the terrible weather,
either, and there was enough
ice around for a dozen NHL
games, at one time! We did
not hear of any serious mishaps
but we're probably keeping
doctors and dentists eating
this week - what with all the
aching muscles and loose eye-
teeth!
Follow carefully instruc-
tions provided for lighting
equipment by manufacturers.
The safety features built into
equipment may be made use-
less by careless or improper
installations and use.
Fire safety comes first
