Miss Chesney leaves many sweet memories behind her. She be- ing dead yet speaketh. She was most faithful and industrious, took pride in keeping her home attractive and in good repair. She was most faithful and loyal to her friends; loved flow- ers, grew them in abundance, and dis- tributed them most generously to the sick and aged. Her frequent gifts of flowers was only one of the marks of her unfailing thoughtfulness and kindness, She suffered a good deal at various times in her life, but her ill- ness never made her self-centred. She always remained thoughtful of the welfare of others. Some of her neighbors will miss her more than they can tell, Miss Chesney is surviv- ed by two sisters, Margaret (Mrs. Harry Chesney) and Mrs. Barbara Thomson. Leaves have their time to fall.

Want and For Sale ads, 1 week 25c 1 Fire Prevention Week October 8th to 14th In Canada and the United States the week of October 8th to 14th is being observed as Fire Prevention Week. The Dominion Fire Pre- vention Association in co-operation with Provincial Fire Marshalls, local Fire Chiefs and others, is co-operating with civic organizations in the furtherance of the aims of Fire Prevention. About 350 people are burned to death and a much larger number are injured by 'fire in Canada every year. The recorded loss of prop- erty by fire in Canada during the 16 years, 1920 to 1934, exceeded $610,000,000. In other words, at our present burning rate, approxi- mately one human life is sacrificed and 1110.000 worth of property is destroyed every day in the year. PREVENT FIRES THESE SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS, IF FOLLOWED BY EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY, WILL MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE FROM FIRE 1—Put lighted matches and smokes out before you throw them away. Keep matches where small children cannot reach them. Never smoke in the garage, barn, or attic, nor in bed. 2—Remove rubbish, waste papers and all unnecessary combus- tible materials. Provide metal ash and trash cans. Burn rubbish only in a safely covered brick or metal incinerator. Watch the fire. 3—Examine all stoves, furnaces and smoke pipes to make sure they are safe and well away from woodwork or otb r burnable materials. Have needed repairs made at once, 4—Value the advice of your fire chief who says that many fires are caused by dirty or defective chimneys. Have the chimney cleaned regularly, and have all defects repaired. 6—Escape the danger of inflammable liquid fires and explosions by keeping no gasoline in the house, Do dry cleaning with safe liqu- ids or send the work to the cleaner. Never start fires with kerosene, 6—Notify the electric company of electrical triuble and the gas company of gas leaks_ Replace "blown" fuses with new ones—not pennies. Avoid home-made wiring jobs. Don't look for gas leaks with a match. 7—Teach everyone in the family to be careful of fire, to watch stoves, 'fireplaces, electric irons and all other possible fire causes, and every day (to remove old rags, papers and other rubbish, 8—Fireproof your home as far as possible by fire -safe moiling, fire stopping in hollow walls and partitions to stop the spread of flame and a non-cimbustible basement ceiling, 9—Inquire of your fire chief, when buying a fire extinguisher, to be sure of getting the right kind. Don't hesitate to ask your firemen whenever you have questions on fire prevention, 10—Remember always where the nearest fire alarm box is and how to send an alarm.. If telephoning, be sure the address is clearly understood. Use a neighbor's phone rather than one in the burning building. 11—Elxplaiu to everyone in the house what to do in ease of fire, how to put out fire m clothing by wrapping in a rug or blanket, what to do when grease catches fire in the kitchen, 12 ---Save life and property from needless destruction by fire by keeping the principles of fire prevention always in mind and never taking e. chance with fire, A.
