fires were caused in Canada last year through carelessness or indifference in maintaining and handling heating equipment Chief Irwin is also in possession of gures showing that fires result ing from faulty stoves furnaces boilers smoke pipes chimneys and ucs cost Canadians almost $7000 000 in 1948 Most fires of this nature can be prevented authorities state Pro per checking of furnaces and chim neys during months when the heat ing system is idle and repairs to damaged or worn out equipment and cracked chimneys are precau tions recommended Chimneys and furnaces should be thoroughly cleaned especially in homes burning soft or low grades of coal These precautions will also help cut high fuel bills caused by inefficient heating equipment Six tips on cleaning the furn aces are suggested

research programs designed to improve the county and unstimuofubsir and Vestoek Certain facts must be kept in mind when planning agricultural research work said Dr Archibald First the nature and relative im portance of the farm problem and the men available to study it Then how much money will the project require Next what use can be made of the results of the experi ment and nally will it prot the farmer to employ the information thus gained Dr Archibald then indicatedthe firemgndous range of agricultural research carried on in Canada to day by mentioning some of the problems that are currently being studied Included among these were such matters as regional soil differences soil conservation and sglllutilizution effecting improve ment in theeconomlc utilization by livestock of locally grown feedh stuffs across Canada effecting im provement do the quality of live stock and poultry products such as meat eggs milk and milk prod ucts creating developing and dis tributing

first in disgust at this food and next ex hated itself at the expense of the new love pipptns with which she accusted the Pilot he being the only American she had seen and whose little grey eyes by no

interesting walk over the bank to the light house Onour return we found the ship under way and we rapidly approached the narrows channel of about of mile in breadth which forms the principal entrance to the bay of New York This channel runs between Long Island and Staten Island the latter of which is very pretty sloping ground with forest interspersed with perfectly English farms The narrows are defended by fort and batteryThere are Ivarious other fortifications all of dark red stone and there are also two or three villages on the shores In one of them is large hospital and all English in their appearance except that everything is neat and clean and you see no part of which you would say that it was inhabited by the poor The shores are all low and opposl to the narrows so flat as to ountry To the right of this stands New York of which we see only the white spires rising to the number of 10 or 11 and the masts of the vessels The rest of the town is concealed by trees As we settled towards the wharf found streets of red brick houses and that most of the buildings which supported the tall white spires were of the same material and thought the whole very like the childrens plaything city After comingto anchor and making arrangements with the custom house we left the Warrior with feelings of great regret not on my part only but Fannys also now felt for the first time
