About Lightning Reda •
•
The Orillia Packet, will • 'explain
lightning rojls were of any %lee;
self and may interest Who, like
eurselves, have often Wondered if
T: :Rowing letter ttop,led front
have received through
tha courtesy f ,an Otha resident, a
clipping !ova the Pooketc,, of the
*lie of the 10th instant, heing
letter Signed "Ratelyirr" inquiring
as to the efficiency o* lightning rod
equipments 1 think I should out of
ou . hags experience answee the let-
ter for the benefit of your correspon-
dent and for tethers interested in he
same -tubject. It is admitted 'that
during certain seasons of the year
lightning does enormous damage and
causes numerous fires. In t919‘we,
had. reported to this office throughout
the Province a total number of 1,102
lightning fires involving a foss of a
tittle over hall a million dollars.
None of the properties were peotec-
ted by an efficient lightning rod sys-
tem and only five of them had a sys-
tem that was even partially efficient.
In the same period we had two light-
ning,fires in buildings protected by a
ligh/ning rod equipment and the to-
tal loss was $22! Those figures sure-
ly speak for themselves, in the five
Cases in which -there was a partial
equipment we found on investigation,
that the system was so imperfect 'In
'cinch
case, that there might just as
well have been no lightning rod pro-
tection at all. During the last four
years we have given special attention
to • investigatng the efficiency of
lightning rod equipments and we
have ne hesitancy in/expressing a
well founded, . definite, straight opin-
ion. that, subject to the equipment be-
ing installed in a proper manner, Me
possibility of buildings being struck
by lightning is exceedingly remote
in other .words . the .efficiendy -of
lightning rod ,equipment when proper-
ly installed, is practically loo per
cent. Of course the whole situation
depends Upon what I have described
as Proper installation and the method
and system of proper material and
workmanship is shown in • Bulletin
No. 220 of the Departinent of Agri-
culture. So convinced ate we that a
lightning rod inetallation is all suf-
fieient, that we hope, at a very early
session of the Legislature to secure
a- law which Will give this office the'
right of licensing manufacturers, dis-
tributors, •installers ' and agents of
lightnirig rod companies; with the
view ef controling the whole situa-
tion and ia safeguarding the public
interest It is well known that
"phoney" installations have been
carried oak in many placbs as there
are always imitators of that which
is sterling, Believing thoroughly in
the efficiency ef the system we hope
to make the law so clear that those
who are installing lightning rods may
be thoroughly assured they are get-
ting .what they are paying for in
workmanship.
Yours very truly,

Growth of the Grain Elevator
The grain elevator system has
grown enormously in Canada and de-
veloped rapidly im the last few years.
This i,rowtb- and development have so
far been mainly confined to the Prair-
ie- Provinces of Manitoba Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, but the 'system is
a:thenEng More and more attention
in the ether provinces particularly in
Ontario, where several wheat growing
and shipping centree, notably Toron-
to, are agitating for the erection of
elevators. Nor is it only in numbers
that the system has extended but the
increase in size has been such that
nonte of the structures ,can :fairly be
termed momMoth, such for instance.
as Mose at the head of the lakes.
There are, according, to the Hon.
George Langley, Ministerof Munici-
pal Affairs for .Saskatchewan, not
fewer that 2,600 (thirty-six hundred))
elevators in -the three provinces
ferrel to, from 40 to 60 feet high and
capable of storing from 20,000 to 30,-
000 bushels a pieeo on the average,
a few reaching to twice the greatest
enumeraed ,capacity. nI other words
upwards of 110,000,000 bushels of
wheat. can thus be stored at the one
time. These fasts and figures are
taken from an intereSting article by
Mr. Langley in the; September num-
ber of the Agricultural Gazette of
Canada. By the teems, of the Canada
Grain Act, the owners of thkeleva-
tors, mostly -private individuals or in
corporated companies, are compelled
to accept all grain offered by farmers,
unless vvet, ar imatorable with safety,
hence the general and common use of
the system. The elevators are all 11 -
tensed by, and are under the supervis-
ion of the Board of Grain Commis-
sioners of Canada.

Millions of war orphans in Central Europe are growing .
up undernourished and stunted.
.
Thousands of them are dying of typhus, tuberculosis
• • and small -pox..
There is almost a complete lack of the nourishing foods growing children need,
of clothing, of doctors, nurses and medical supplies. The condition of the j
• children is pitiable in the extreme.
• Upon this coming generation depends largely whether these nations will be
healthy and right-minded or a hot -bed of anarchy and degeneracy—a menace to
the world. •
It has, been found by experienCe that the cost of caring for a waif child is
approximately three dollars prmonth; that of the supplies that are required
by imports about one dollar is neededliinul therefore the dollar that we
• provide,logether with the lbeid support of •local governments, local munici-
palities, local charities and local services practically preserves the life of
one child. •
