Ellie farm Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited is Hayfield street Barrie Ontario THURSDAY MAY ll lul PAGE FOUR iTOBlAI Eottage Fires Avoidable With Little Bit Of Care This is the time of year when cottage owners are cleaning up around their summer resort properties preparatory to the time when they can start spending weekends and later the holiday season by the lakeshore Through the past fall and winter season there have been ac cumulations of dried up grasp broken branches or other material which can create fire hazard At the same time it is quite possible that heating equipV ment in the cottage has suffered from the long period of idleness Each year fire takes $120 million toll of property Much of this loss could be averted with little care The All Can ada Insurance Federation in one of their regular helpful suggestion releas es offers the following precautions for cottage safety Olear long grass brush and debris away from the cottage area outfit the cottage with adequate fire extinguishers and know how to use them Have stoves and heaters regularly cleaned and repaired Be sure they are mountd on metal sheet concrete or brickwork if you use electricity have wiring checked as often as possible it is sub ject to more wear and tear than at home stovepipes passing through ceilings or partitions should be fitted with met al or asbestos collars Keep stoves and heaters away from cottage walls never leave them homing and unattended Spark screens on chimneys and stove pipe outlets will protect your roof and the nearby woods ii kerosene and similar lamps should never be left burning when cottage is empty When in use they should be placed where there is no danger of them falling over store outboard motor fuel and other inflammable liquids away from the cot tage Take care with cigarettes particularly in the area around the cottage yClosedV TownsNo Sales Eachyearg9ueinhleptandsbusiness ii Manitoba combinr and act indivi dually to convince more tourists to visit the province And each year the promot ion is on broader base urging the vi sitors to see more of the province to break from the established routes and meet more Manitobans This policy is going to face difficul ties however if visitors find them selves faced with many closed towns caused by blanket business holidays says The Winnipeg Tribune There are few who will argue with the intentions behind the closings to give employers and employees day away from their labors but the picture of closed town is going to be difficult to present to tourists And commercial travellers will find schedules difficult to lay out if there is mixture of ailday Monday halfrday Wédnesday allday Wednesday halfaday Saturday closings in force The kindest gesture appears to he sign on the outskirts of

purposes from the American money markets it will mean that many such programs will have to be suspend ed This is now the feeling in many par of the Dominion Frederick Gardiner Metro Toronto chairman is certain that if anybody does anything to interfere with our bor rowing money in the United States mar kets that they will not be contributors to our development and it they stop us they will instead make contribution to unemployment We fully agree withrriVlr Gardiner when he says that the United states Go vernment and the 115 corporations have no desire to control Canada They come here to develop Canadas potentials and make themselves some money Canad ians have done the same thing in other countries Duringathcrpastpsevcneyearerctio Toronto has spent $600000000 in its growing spree and

Par kin 39 recalled some other features of Canadian housing encountered by himself and IPeter of Montreal committee chairman and Pratt of Vancouver Privacy said Mr Perkin could be acquired with the use of shrubs trees and walls and in some areas wellplanned use of the natural contours of the land He recalled that in com paring sample photographs of new housing taken In Winni peg Edmonton and

FAVORS ROW HOUSING Row housing had been used to good advantage in St John and we ought to investigate this type of homing more fully Sucli housing in the Tar onto suburb of Don Mills had proved popular and economical Probably the unwitting pio neers in this field were the bydrostoue houses built hastily fsioae to provide housing following the Halifax explosion of 1917 They have survived have not become slums and are quite attractive Mr Parltlu cemented Mr Perkin was particularly critical of the dull drab rubber stamp similarity of much of Canadas pcst war housing Besides being uriaiiractive this was not healthy approach from sociological point of view Ono difficulty with most modern subdivisions was that they attracted only families of similar size background age income and social position who were almost as similar as the homes in which they lived This was bad for children who were deprived of the opportun ity of associating with children of different social economic and ethnic backgrounds An other problem develops Mr Parking said when childrenr leave homo and the elderly paA rents want to give up the home With its lawns stairs and empty rooms but hesitate to
