ONTARIO FIRE MARSHALL Proposes a Distinctive Uniform Ring to be used on Rural Telephones for Fire AIarms, ;The Province of Ontario continued to slhow a decrease in fire losses Bur- in the last ,qu'ganter of 11191.316. The final figures will be subject to revision due to differences in estimated losses and the actual losses in 'fires 'that have not yet been a'dljusted,'However, it is clearly evident that the 11191316 losses will be substantially less than in the previous year, and twill thus sot a 'new low record since the (fire losses Of the province have! been tabulated, This result has been realized in 'Ontario .in contrast -to the [latest reported official agine what we ,have never seen. The instruction inttp'l cit itt any neap whatsoever is remarkable com- plex, yet unified. Suppose one should set down- ,before a tthoughfui boy a map of ,Europe on which nothing 'bu'1 the- !pihysiograp'hic features—motto- tains and rivers, capes and bays and estuaries, minerals and soils—were shown, and 'suppose him allowed to :brood over it tor a long time, to copy it by 'hand more than once and to model it in relief, .until ,finally he had it by heart, And then. when this pic- ture of itature's 'Europe was at last completed, suppose one should give hint a map of Europe as she is today —that is, a picture of what man has made of .her with his roads and ,brid- ges, his mines and canals, .his ttlths and granges (and all his glittering cities. 'The second picture would be no surprize to that boy, for he would see only the logical 'prolongation of the first, Acid man to those motut- ttins and valleys he - already knows so well, and all the rest would natur- ally follow. He would know where the great roads had to run and where the great cities could not fail to lie, You would scarcely need to describe to hint the political institutions of Switzerland or of Russia, and the in- vasions of old IRonte he would take for granted And that toy, thence- forth, would never think of geology, history, commerce and culture as sep- arable things. but as threads nt one closely woven fabric, Such is the teaching ,of reaps. And they are good for rembrances, ton, n'lten they help us to theead with the swiftly traveling eye some valley that we once explored on foot, or lift us again - to that -hill-top whence we looked out across the colored counties. A Wrap is the short hand of landscape, and a memorandum both of thoughts and of moods, When I read the word ".Paris" on the neap of Europe. rope. it is the gaunt worn face Notre Dame that 1 see. and the busy little bookstalls by the Seine, "Ven- ice" brings me the chock -a -clock of sunlit ripples against tete gondola's prow, and all the barely credible ir- rirlucence of that thousand -year-old bubble. Or perhaps 1 read "Catalina Island," and then I hear the .small lambs bleating far off among the hills and the bellow of ,tea Haus from the beach. Bu't d think tate best kind of map - reading is the imaginative. -Haw often, having had enough for the time of my own Connecticut, I have clamered aboard my 'Atlas and sailed up two thousand miles of the Congo River— mighty name—until 1 came to Kon- golo, and there disembarked and .plunged into jungles with my black companions, struggling forward on the trails of !Livingstone and 'Stanley. with the elephants at gaze from the swamps and 'thirty monkeys in every tree, until I saw from a summit the six -hundred -mile -long sparkle of Lake Tanganyika and - guessed out the channel of the vast Zambesi and heard, from far away, the everlasting thunder of the Victoria dulls! and then, after such a ten minutes in ,Equatorial Africa, it needs only a brief ruffling of the pages to chill the fancy on the ice plains of Siberia. Oftenest of all, however. I go to 'high Peru and Central America, and espec- ially to Popocatapeti—partly, no doubt, 'because of its lovely name, but aS`so because it is a pile of climates. Si, much, then, for the three high- er uses of maps, with which almost everyone must be familiar. Today 1 ha re been poring over a map that combines all these uses. It is a small map ,rf England, on which only those places are teamed that have some im- portance in the history of .literature. London is here, of .course, but only because it Inas always been England's intellectual and literary capital. .Strat- ford-on4A,von is here, too, not as an important market-towwtt, hart for an- other reason, On the other hand, sev- eral cities of the north whose import- ance is clue to their manufactures anis their great size, do not show at all. I find Liverpool set down, perhaps -be- cause :Hawthorne served there as American consul; Manchester could not' be left ,Out because of De Quincey, and (Norwich wins its place by the help of-IGeorge'Borrow and Sir Thom- as 'Browne.. \What chiefly deliglits me in this map- is to find the names of such tiny "pelting villages" as Twy- ford in Hatn'pshfre, where iP•ope went to school, as Nether Stowey in the Quantocks where Wentworth and Coleridge used to meet, and as Oare iii Devon 'where john •R'id'd•grew to his mighty stature, Even . Edison 'Heath, where nothing ,has . ever hap- pened except in the imagination of .store tires. It is particularly gratify- ing tat report a considerable decrease in :dwelling tires, not only as 'tn num- ber hitt ;its., as to aggregate loss. 1>tu• educational campaign and the liberal support ref the public press in this -connection is evidently having a favourable effect. , Arson prosecution ,anti convictions have shown a very creat increase er the previous years, due not so much to any increase in incendiary fires 'hut rather to increased efficiency in the iurestigatioa and prosecution of criminal cases arising out of 'fires. In the year 119,36 there have been 3 convictions for arson adtt other .crim- inal charges arising out of fires, in which the Fire Marsall's Office has been directly interested, in 'compari- son with '215 during the year 19315. Both of these figures 'include cases handled by the Toronto !Arson Squad, .composed crf 2 .members df the Tor- onto City Police Force who Glave been assigned to the FireMarshall's 'Of- fice and appointed as District- 'Dep- utt Vire \Sarshalds, Excluding the Toronto \rant Squad, the increase in proseetstions from investigations directly under the Fire \Iarshali Inspectors of the intes- aill Jost, 'isesaattt tall tlttlsg its .140111 tighttion staff has shown an evert tigation staff has sh'iwn an even rear 114316 there were 313 convictions as compared with 113 in :19315 and 15 in 1954 and 11 in 1933, The 'conticiiotts in 19316 are 21 for arson, 0 for attempt- ed arson, 11, for threatening to 'burn, one 'fur fraud, 2 for theft from prem- ises in which fires occurred, I for ;per- jury, and 6 for negligently starting fires. 'During the lance period there were a total of ,116 acquittals, 'being 1111 on arson charges, I1 on attempted arson and 4 on negligently setting fires, and at the end of 11913E there -were 2 arson cases pending, 1 attempted ar- eon and d' threatening to 'burn cases awaiting trial. This is a conviction percentage of approximately .69 'per- cent, which compares most favorably with the recard for the 'balance of Canaria for the year 19315 of 1.34 per- cent convictions. In addition to the above criminal cases the 'Fire 'Marshall's 'Office had 9 convictions for violation of - the Lightning Rod .Act and 2 for failure to comply with the ,Fire !Lar. halal's .Act, with no acquittals. 'Thr Toronto Arson Squad during 119,316 had 3 convictions and 1 acquit- tal with no cases ,pending at +the end of the year. The reduction in criminal cases in the City of Toronto reflects the very sharp .decrease in fires in certain districts and is a tribute to the efficient work of tite Toronto Arson Squad. Earlier in the year, after conferring with the executive committee of the Canadian dnciependent (Telephone :Association, we wrote to some 600 independent telephone companies in On't'ario. We submitted a proposal that all rural lines sihoudld 'adopt a distinctive uniform ming to the used as a fire alarm, so that in an enteitgency prompt aid ,cou'id 'be summoned with a 'minimum of delay, and invited 'cotn- nsetnts and su,ggestfons.
