The Huron Expositor, 1952-09-19, Page 6hT • x N�fi air<t; x Seaforth Townships' Fire Agreement SevieWed By National Magazine Ix a recent survey of muni- cipal and' district, fire protec- tion agreements, the natioeel magazine, "Civic Administra- tion" included Seaforth, aigng with two other Western On- tario villages, to its article, "Co-operation Cuts Fire Costs," by Max MacDonald. Sections of the article, of interest to lo- cal and district readers, have been clipped and are printed below. Fire protection has been provid- ed in three Southwestern Ontario • areas during the past few months through mutual co-operation be- tween urban centres and surround- ing rural municipalities. Authorities in the districts 'be- lieve that in buying new pumpers, building new halls and clearly de- fining rules for financial support of fire departments they have found the answer to the long-standing problem of firdfighting equipment being called upon to gerve areas larger than was efriginally intend- ed at time of purchase. The Town of Seaforth with a pop- ulation of about 2,200, the incor- porated village of Wyoming with a population of 700, and the police village of Ilderton with 300 resi- dents, have all solved the problem of district firefighting in slightly different ways, because different Conditions existed' in each area. on an area basis. That is, each township ,paid according to them amount of land in that township which lay within the 100 square mile fire aa -ea which was mapped out. The result was that McKillop Township bore 40 per cent of the cost, Tuckersmith Township 25 per cent and Hullett and Hibbert 17% per cent each. At this point the town came into the picture. It agreed to house, man, service and maintain the truck for a 16 per cent interest in it. The Sickle -Seagrave pumperlwith 500 -gallon tank and- mounted 'on,, a three -ton G.M.C. Chassis was pur- chased dor $17,225- Included in this price was about 1,500 feet of hose (ranging from one inch to 2% inch), ordinary nozzles, fog nozzles, two extinguishers, and portable pump for refilling the tank. Equipment Proves Effective On stage one, the pump builds up some 150 pounds pressure and is capable of S00 pounds pressure on stage two. The portable pump re- fills the tank at the rate of 80 gal- lons a minute. This equipment is always avail- able for district calls, manned by the Seaforth 21 -man volunteer bri- gade under Chief J. F. Scott. Only cost to the inunicipalities, over and above the initial cost of equipment some 35 per cent of which will be offset by government grant, is the cost of operation and the fee of $2 an hour for each man (up to eight men) for the time they spend on a fire call. This charge is used to offset time lost at work by volunteer brigade mem- bers. Meanwhile the town itself has a Bickle-Seagrave 440 -gallon pumper, mounted on a three -ton Internation- al chassis and small Iadder truck, for local protection. There have been several fires where the equipment has proven effective. In one case in particu- lar1 a Straw stack piled against a barn caught 'fire. The department got out in time to douse the flames and save the barn from even par- tial damage. None Spent Over $20,000 However, they all have fire pro- tection to suit their particular needs and none spent more than $20,000 as an initial step and of the total' expenditure in each carie, some 35 per cent is to be borne by Ontario Government grants. In all cases, adequate protection at minimum cost was stressed. The two smaller centres, Wyoming and Ilderton, worked from scratch. be- ing faced with the necessity of building new fire halls before they could even consider other equip- ment. The three places worked out their plans with the Ontario Fire Marshall's office and now have de- partments which meet government standards, making them eligible for the subsidy.on cost of equipment. In -Seaforth the problem was con- siderably less complicated than in the other two communities because the town already had a fire hall and sufficient equipment for hand- ling protection within the town limits. The problem of protection, therefore, was confined to the sur- rounding urrounding district. • Cost Was Divided Municipalities in four townships surrounding the town were formed into Seaforth Fire Area No. 2 and purchased a pumper which is now housed in. the Seaforth Fire Hall and manned by the town's volun- teer brigade: Cost of the pumper was divided 1 (Continued from Page 2) in their roots. This food is requir- ed during the winter months when the plants are hibernating but still • breatifing. It is also required for the start-of•�;` pring growth. Star- vation in thefall results in an in- creased danger of winter killing and weak growth the next year. This ,te. particularly the case in the legumes. The solution of the problem is grazing moderately. Grass and legumes should not be grazed down to ground, level at any season of the year. The number of animals and the number of acres should be adjusted so that not all the current year's growth is used by the stock. Particularly from late summer on- ward a growth of a few inches should be allowed to develop. County Farmers To See Cash Crops Day Versatile Egg That small package, the egg, is packed full of nutrients. Phosphor- us, calcium, iron, fat, protein and vitamin A are all essential to good health and are all contained in an egg. Eggs slhaeld be eaten at least three times a week, either alone or included in other dishes. No Ringside Seat For Junior Even the best of families have the odd disagreement. If a child is exposed to an atmosphere of bickering and argument in the home, however, he may grow up with a sense of insecurity and a feeling of being unwanted. Young- sters are very sensitive to any feel- ing eeling of discord• and ill -feeling in the home so, if there must be an argu- ment, it should be postponed until the' child is absent - Make Lunch An Event Many people who find it neces- sary to eat lunch at the office or place of work make a hurried sandwich serve as the meal, after which they get right back on the Job. It is much ,better for .the digestion and the general health to eat a nourishing lunch, with fresh fruit and vegetables and milk or a hot beverage included. In cooler weather, hot soup carried in a vacuum bottle adds both nourish- ment -and interest to :the meal. Part of the noon hour should be spent in the fresh a'r; a walk helps to renew energy for the rest of the day's work. Preparations are being rapidly completed for the Western Ontario Cash Crops Day, supported by the Counties of Essex, Kent, Elgin, Lambton, Perth, Huron, Oxford and Middlesex to be held at Granton, midway ,between Stratford and Lon- don.. on Thursday, October 2. Crops to be featured are field and soy beans, silage and husking corn, sugar beets and turnips. All lead- ing machinery companies will dis- play and demonstrate the latest implements for growing and har- vesting these crops. Among the special guests for the event will be Honourable T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture; Honourable F. S. Thomas, Minister of Public Works; J. A. Garner, Di- rector of Extension, and A. H. Mar- tin. Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. Professor J. Scott, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, will, direct the machinery parade. Demonstrations will begin at 10 a -m. Heading the committees in charge of the big day to be held on the farms of Elmer Harlton and Norman Riddell are Chairman Cam- eron McTaggart, Glencoe. and Sec- retaries R. E. White, Stratford, and W. K. Riddell, London. Size Of Apples Provides Guide For Thinning It is often necessary to remove a portion of the apple crop in or- der to secure fruit of desirable mar- ket size. The common practice has been to space the fruit a definite number of inches apart. The dif- ficulty with this procedure lies in the fact that for' best results, thin- ning distance must be modified in accordance with tree vigor, density of foliage. amount of crop and age of tree. Thus there is need for a comprehensive thinning guide. Recent experiments conducted by the United States Department of A.grieulture at Wenatchee indicate that size of mature apples can be predicted. by the size of fruit at thinning time. Similar experiments were conducted in 1951 by the Summerland Experimental Station. British Columbia, . says S. W. Por- ritt, with the McIntosh, Delicious, Newton and Winesap varieties. Weekly measurements of large numbers of individual tagged fruits were made during the period of 40 days after full bloom until harvest time. In general, the relationship which existed between various size groups 'at first measurement was maintained bhroiighput the growing season and, in most oases, apples that were large 40 days from bloom grew at a slightly faster rate, thus increasing their size advantage ov- er smaller fruits. Differences were apparent in rate of growth between varieties and, in the case of Delicious, be- tween different orchard's. Never- theless, the results secured indicate Abet in general, apples of 1% inch - 'da dlametr and larger at 40 days ifrfsi l., fen biome, thole 1 7/16 inch - ea er• Mere at 50 days, those 13 `inhlietw at .55 da$; and those 1 5/8 alchet at 60 i1atfe, can •be elpeeted ; ai e''i sfiietS df 163 Pure Food and Safe Drugs Few people give any thought to the reason why; in Canada, we can shop with confidence for our food and drugs. Food is packaged' and canned under sanitary conditions and is kept up to a required stan- dard of quality and purity. This state of affairs is taken for grant- ed but behind it is an interesting system that maintains an unceas- ing watch and check upon all plants, factories, stores or import- ing firms to ensure that Canada's food is pure and clean.

The popular young minister graduated from Waterloo Col- lege four years ago. Unite `b thch Clinton, Held. Anniversary Services Capacity congregations filled On- tario Street United Church Sunday when anniversary services were held with Dr. A. B. B. Moore, B.A., B.D., D.D., L.L.D., President of Victoria .University, Toronto, as guest speaker. Two inspiring sermons were de- livered. His :morning subject, "Why Our Church," stressed the main business of our church, to make men mature in Christ, or to s'e't men in living relationship with Jesus or nature in Christian living. The soloist for the morning was Mr. Leslie Pearson, who gang "The Prodigal Son. A quartette, consist- ing onsisting of Elwin Merrill, John Levis, Leslie Pearson and E. Wendorf, sang, "Ashamed Of Jesus." The choir rendered the anthem, "Sing a Song of Praise." In the evening Dr. Moore's sub- ject was, "Our Final Folly," the follSr of men trying to get along without God. The evening anthem was, "0 Day .0f Rest and Glad- ness." and the quartette sang, "Don't Forget Te .Pray." A. girls' chorus sang "Sweet Hour of Pray- er." Miss Joan and Master Gerald Lobb, twin children of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Lobb, celebrated their food, with snacks between meals. Because of his growth and his ac- tivities, his food must be nourish- ing ourishing and chosen for its help in form- ing good strong bones and main- taining his energy. He may eat more food than an adult. If he COMM in ravenous for a .snack af- ter school, he should be given our- ishing food and milk to drink, but not in sufficient quantity to spoil bis regular meals. A 'pint and a half of milk a day is the amount advised by nutritionists for the teenager. Whole-wheat cereals, plenty of vegetables and fruit should also be included in his daily diet. Sniffless and Coughless Winter By care and good management, it should be possible to go through the fall and winter without a cold or bout of 'flu. It may take some doing, but since a void often re- sults from carelessness, it should be attempted. First, keep away from people who neglect to cover nose and mouth with a disposal tis- sue when they cough and sneeze— colds are 'spread that way. Then, keep the feet dry—wear rubbers during wet weather and change footwear if the feet do get damp. Get plenty of rest and avoid fa- tigue. Eat nourishing food and don't skip breakfast. Get plenty of fresh air and sufficient outdoor ex- ercise. That will 'help increase re- sistance to the cold germ. "Creaky Gate" "A creaky gate hangs a long time" says the old adage -and it may be applied to the human body. Many people with heart conditions or other weaknesses may live to a good old age by following the rou- tine and diet prescribed by their doctors. Medical advice should be obtained whenever there is any suspicion that the heart is not func- tioning normally. The Simple Tastes Of Junior The expensive and complicated toy received by Junior often af- fords more fun for the adults of the family than for the small child.
