_ TERRACE BAY News 2 nr re "Authoriz eed as '2nd Class Mail - Post Oh Fip9 Dept., Cems FIRE PREVENTION At the September meeting 'of the Terrace Bay Board of Trustees, the Board agreed to proceed with lining up debentures for the remaining curbing and paving in the Town. This is made necessary by the fact that we have come to the end of Streets which qualify for the Ontario Government subsidy of 50%, Because ofthis grant we have been able to pay our half of the cost from current revenue, Next year, having to pay the full amount, we will require more money than can be raised without increasing the tax levy beyond reasonable limits. As paving contractors will not set up their equipment for a small pro- gramme, debentures are the only method open to us, A change in the Town 'Stop-Sign! by- law has been prepared to allow the use of "yield the right-of-way" signs and remov- al of some stop signs. Premission was granted to the Nurses of the Terrace Bay Hospital to raise monies in the cause of Mental Health.

"EE 5- "Few things can take your home and one or more of your loved ones away from you more quickly and tragically than a fire", Chief George Maitland warns--"and one of the hardest things you'd ever have to live down would be the knowledge that the fire probably could have been prevented", The fire safe home, the Chief points out has two important factors: good family habits about fire and its dangers, and good construction, Good family habits include such things as: care with matches and smoking; good housekeeping to get rid of rubbish; pro- per use of electrical fuses, appliances and extension cords; a sound general awareness of the ways in which fires can start and how to avoid them, DON'T GIVE FIRE A PLACE TO START. _ WEEK _ WEIMARANER LITTER IN TERRACE BAY Believed to be the only litter in the immediate area the six Weimaraner puppies owned by Murray Campbell of Terrace Bay are arousing much local interest.
