Farmers, tarmers' sons and others regularly engaged in agria cultural work, under National Se- lective Service regulations recently approved by Order in Council may. with certain minor restrictions. now accept employment outside of agriculture. Manager C. W. Boyer of the local Employment and Se- lective Service office. told The Chronicle today. Now, Mr. Boyer states, agricul- tural workers may accept tempo- rary employment outside of agri- culture for periods up to, 30 con- secutive days. but only at times when such empioyment.wiil not in- terfere with agricultural produc- tion. And such temporary employ- ment may be taken without secur- ing a permit from a National Selec- tive Service officer, if the period is less than 30 days. When employ- ment for longer periods is desired a permit is necessary.

Some of the events had to he cancelled including the trial$ of speed, the parade of prize in- ning cattle, the calf races and some of the light horse judging. CITES "TEMPORARY" CLAUSE IN NEW REGULATIONS The latest regulations, accord- ing to Mr. Boyer. revoke certain provisions of former orders in council that froze all persons in agriculture to the farms for the du- ration. and are vitally essential to the govemment's plans for the ef- fective use of all labor in the war effort.

Most chimney fires start just be.. low the roof, where they are not immediately noticed, where they have time to take a terrible grip, where they are the hardest to tttmt. Here it is that mortar goes "rotten" and bricks go soft; here it is that a joist may have been carelessly built into the very chimney struc- ture. Every attic should have an opening in order that the chimney may be inspected for these haz- ards. Chimneys should be search- ed, brick by brick. for cracks, breaks. rotten mortar, soft bricks and open joints. Be positive that no joist, beam or other wood is set into the brickwork. H. J.
