If one company can induce employees to break a dowinright dangerous habit, others can too. We hope that Advance Floor Machine Co. has started something that will catch on. days. To qualify for participation in the Advance inceniive plan, a salesman must have been a packâ€"aâ€"day smoker for seven preceding years. All participants put the cash they would otherwise spend on cigarettes into a smoke pot which will be drawn for at the end of the year. So far more than 25 of the 100â€"man sales force have taken the pledge. Financial rewards for swearing off smoking are being offered to employees of Advance Floor Machine Co. by its president Robert Pond who, according to Office Equipment & Methods, immediately pays $50 to any member of his sales staff for forsaking the habit. $100 more is given to every man who remains a nonâ€"smoker for 60 As most large companies show little real concerna for the health and welfare of their employees, it is our privilege to publish the name and story of a Rexdale firm that really does care. age. The risk of a loss of an eye or a finger is also substantial. Firecrackers, we say, must be banned in Metropolitan Toronto. * . What misleading nonsense. Of course pyrotechnics contribute to only a minor portion of fires throughout the year. But, fire sprinklers and firecrackers do contribute to a large number of fires started during the May 24th weekend and Hallowe‘en periods when they are tossed into milk boxes, car windows, and onto roofs and porches. Any fireman in York or North York would probably attest to this fact. This newspaper agrees that "family fireworks‘" used properly are of little danger to the community. But we have seen too many elderly people scared out of their wits by mischievous youths exploding firecrackers right under them to endorse the sale of firecrackers to anyone at any another prepared by the Canadian Fireworks Manufacturers‘ Association. the use of firecrackers or noisemakers, For instance it says fireworks and firecrackers are responsible for less than oneâ€"sixth of one per cent of all fires reported across Canada. newspaper received several pieces of literature from Hand Chemical Industries Ltd., one describing various fireworks products manufactured by the Milton company, and The CFMA study "Family Fireworks and the Community" is a commendable effort in explaining the safety record of fireworks, but it misses the boat by a country mile in discussing blood pressure of policemen and firefighters across Metro is surely beginning to rise. > It is not an easy task protecting life, limb and property when several hundred thousand youngsters and oldsters strike matches to light firecrackers and toss them at random in anvy Published at 2159 Weston Rd., Weston by Principal Publishing Ltd., every Thursday W.

Forget your radio and television sets. Only read about rising taxes, sports, the housing shortage, and global conflicts when you, rather than the sponsor . of Whiterâ€"Thanâ€"White, feel you want to catch up on what‘s going on, You may find that in some ways it changes your life as it has mine. My wife seems to be in a better mood too. Conversations no longer have to stop for radio and television news. We now have time to laugh as we watch our tiny daughter discover the world around her. Two days ago she learned to pull herself up onto her feet with the support of the coffee table, smile a millionâ€"dollarâ€"smile for making this tremendous achievement and then fall down again amid: tears when her head touched the soft carpet. Now she‘s a little smarter. When her legs are about to give out on her, she gently lowers herself onto her derriere and everyone is happy.

I don‘t believe I‘m missing much in the way of information on domestic and world events because television and radio news is largely a rehash of what you see in the newspapers anyway. I find that in no way do I miss the Channel 6, 11 p.m. news broadcasts or the 6 o‘clock and 6:30 AM and FM radio news capsules. Our son is no longer demanding that mommy buy Popeye Spinach and Whiterâ€"Thanâ€"White toothpaste. I am less anxious now than I was a few months ago and seem to have more time to read to our boy and teach him "letters" before he goes off to bed. I find delight and complete relaxation in spending 15 minutes of the evening giving our baby girl her milk. Her sounds and facial expressions change every time I feed her. I feel certain that I am learning more by teaching my son and daughter than they learn from me. The batteries in our portable radio have given up, the landlord has not yet repaired the FM wall radio and for some reason no one seems to be watching the television set. â€" Home is now a sanctuaryâ€"â€"an escape from the frequent tense moments at work, the miseries of the world and hig!l pressure salesmanship. entertainment for these members, we are going to have a car wash, and with the money collected we hope to rent movies and to provide other forms of entertainment.
