Do you know which alarm boxes is closest t> Box No. 64 65 63 67 In turning in a fire alarm it is alâ€" ways well to remember one factâ€"the necessity for someone staying at the alarm box to direct the firemen to the fire in case it is not easily seen from the box. Often the time of the fireâ€" men is unnecessarily wasted because after arriving at the alarm box it is necessary to hunt for the place of the fire. Always stay at the box till the firemen arrive. ALWAYS STAY AT ALARM BOX TO DIRECT FIREMEN Piece of Red Paper Cause of Fire Alarm at Sudbury A piece of red paper wrapped around an electric light bulb in a Durkam St. shoe store was responsible for the Sudbury Fire Department being called out one night last month, it is revealed in the report of the fire department for September. Information in connecâ€" tion with the call which is listed in the report under "miscellaneous calls" shows that a policeman on his beat noticed the red glow in the store and summoned the qdepartment, thinking it was a fire. The Sudbury Gdepartment extinâ€" guished seven fires during September, the most serious being that of Young‘s Sudbury Being Flooded With Unemployed Men Sales Stables on September 7, when three horses and three dogs were burnâ€" ed with a property damage of $5000. The firemen received calls to five chimney fires, three of which were out on arrival, and also responded to two false alarms. According to a statement by the Employment Office at Sudbury, that city is being flooded with men seekâ€" ing positions among the lumber workâ€" ers in the bush. There are no jobs for them. The men needed for the work nave already beon secured locally at Sudbury. The influx of men to Sudâ€" bury is said to be due to promises apparently made at Toronto by cerâ€" tain politicans as to the amount of work in the bush that would be carâ€" ried on this year. There is always danger of such talk being misunderâ€"~ stood. Some men in the cities are so arxious to secure work that they do not stop to think, but rush to the first place where there seems to be any posâ€" sibility of a job. Sudbury had enough men to supply the demand for bush workers without the necessity for any influx of unemployed. The wages paid in the camps near Sudbury are given as "from $26.50 to $35.00 per month, depending on the kind of work and the experience of the worker.

Charity should start there according to the ancient saying, and certainly safety should come first. In order to safeguard the home, inspection should be made, noi only Fire Prevention Week but periâ€" odically throughout the year. All heatâ€" ing and lighting equipment examined, chimney and pipes kept clean of soOL. No smoke pipes permitted through combustible walls; disposition of ashes safeguarded. The fuse cabinet should be of metal or asbestos lined. Fuses in all fuse blocks, none . of them bridged, and not over 15â€"ampere fuses used in branch circuits. All drop cords should be insulated, and not supportâ€" ed on any conductive matsrial. Electric irors always detached when not in use ard kept on mstal stands. Matches should be kept out of the reach of children and the children should be regularly taught the danger of fire and not to play with matches. Closets should be kept clean and all rubbish removed from the entire preâ€" mises. Cleanliness is next to Godliâ€" ness. Perhaps that is the reason it alâ€" ways plays such an important part in fire prevention. It is not the intention to give all the details of home inspection. You have already admitted to yourselves that you can safeguard your homsgs. Put the impulse into action. Start this Fire Prevention campaign in your home where fire ever lurks to destroy you and yours.

Y LIMITED Fire is No Respector of Persons. â€"Rich and Poor, Farmer _ and Cityâ€"Dweller Equally Likely to be Burned to Death. 350 Canadians Die in Fire Every 12 Months The greatest fire loss in Canada last year, over, $2,780,000, was caused by 4.800 fires traced to defective or careâ€" lessly handled stoves, furnaces, boilers and pipes. Disastrous fires from cookstoves and heating stoves come from many causes, the most common being turning on the draft and leaving the room. If the stove for either cooking or heating is too small, it is dangerous because by forcing the fire the stove overheats with grave risk of setting fire to wood partitions or the soot in the pipes or flues. If large stoves are used, the fire will not have to be forced, thereby eliminating this hazard. The floor should be protected from coals or sparks by a sheet of metal or asbestos cloth placed under the stove. A stove should not be placed nearer than 18" from walls or partitions of either wooad or plaster and the wall should be protected by a sheet of tin, zinc or sheet iron hung loosely on hooks allowing space for the air to pass beâ€" tween the wall and its metal protector. It should extend from few inches above the ficor to at least a yard above the stove or range. BRICK FIREPLACKS Have a Brick Fireplace built in your One built by Mr. Severt is the surest Prevention.
