sports assise a v nolan son publishers notes and comments fire prevention and housing the winter season annually brings a rash of fires and this district is having its share of these costly and often griefladen occurrences in most cases the tires which occurred in dwellings revealed the over crowded and substandard housing conditions to which families are being subjected the fires revealed also the absence of facilities and measures to prevent fires heavy stoking of fires against the current cold waves can be blamed for numerous outbreaks an estimated 20000 fires a year occur- in canada involving considerable loss of life and property in the last 10year period canada lost more than 1500 children through fires and such loss cannot be meas ured in monetary terms alone property losses caused by fire run into millions of dollars annually analysis of the causes of all fires shows that most of them could have been prevented the 12 leading causes as listed by the dominion fire commissioner are 1 smokers carelessness 2 stoves furnaces and other heating equipment 3 defective electrical wiring and appliances 4 carelessness with matches 5 defective chimneys hot ashes coals open fires carelessness with petroleum products lights other than electric lightning sparks on roof 11 spontaneous ignition 12 incendiarism person setting fire to the house the records indicate that more

out of childrens reach 6 7 8 9 10 busiest in evenings one of canadas largest magazines recently made a study of the habits of shoppers in this nations self- serve food stores the results may be as surprising to you as they were to us in the first place more than onethird of the total number of shoppers are men the busiesc period of the week is between 7 and 8 pm in the evening on which the stores are open the average shopper visits the selfserve food store about twice a week and last but by no means the least important from the merchants point of view just about half of the decisions as to what brands of food the shopper is going to buy are made before she or he enters the store in other words nearly half these decisions are made by advance advertising advantages of small community those who were born in the large cities in which they always continued to live have missed many sen sations which fall to the lot of those who have at one time or another called a small community their home town there is something impersonal about most large cities this is particularly so with respect to the cities of the new world which are not old enough to have corporate personalities mellowed by the passing of time and the making of much history within their borders one who lives in them feels a very small unit in a tremendous machine he knows only a few comparatively speaking of the vast total population his neighbors come and go often he does not know them by sight people are not particularly interested in other people the whole atmosphere is one of in tense preoccupation with self in the small town life is radically different people have not so many mechanical amusements they must turn to those around them to retain their interests the pace is not so swift the inhabitants do not come and go with the same rapidity houses become inseparably identified with families the gener ations of which have lived in them without good neighbors who become in time almost members of ones larger family existence would seem barren indeed joys and sorrows are shared by the many rather than by the few and become correspondingly magnified or minimized there is no such thing as loneliness when the small town boy leaves the old home town to seek wider horizons often he is glad to get away from it all for a while from its narrowness from its restrictions and from its smugness the different circumstances of his new existence he wel comes with almost a fiery joy when the newness wears off however for the fyst time the youth begins to realize what virtues were possessed by the people he left behind him while the greater opportunities of the city may make him content to remain within its boundaries nevertheless he is able to see that he takes them only at a sacrifice of things that in themselves are fine oshawa times fur iarrnls only brothers all an uiiknowr writer has voiced his conviction in these lines all men are my kin since every man has been blood
