HEAVY LOCOMOTIVES ARE NEEDED IN WAR SERVICES Weights of Canadian National Rail- ways steam locomotives vary greatly. The heaviest engine is the 6200 class, a series recently acquired 'o handlp increasing Xartime traffic. When in working order, ready to move a deavily laden freight train, this class of locomotive weighs 677.600 pounds. By comparison, the lightest Canad- ian National locomotive weight less than one? third of the new giant. or 190.550 pounds. The 6100 class, which is equipped with a booster weighing 12,000 pounds, tips the scale at 682.050 pound?, or over 341 tons, when in working order. Gasoline vapor is so highly explosive it has been aptly called liquid dynamite. Every year the losses of property and life testify to the gross carelessness of individuals around this most dangerous of fuels. The Ontario Fire Marshall has stated that anyone tak- ing an open flame lamp or lantern near gasoline is trying to commit suicide! Don't drive a car, truck or tractor on the barn floor it is folly. Never use gasoline or kerosene to revive a fire. Don't use gasoline, benzene or other inflammable liquids for cleaning in the home. Never fill lamps, lanterns, stoves or heaters while they are burning. Gasoline kept in a building should be in an approved safety container, painted red and plainly marked GASO- LINE. Don't keep more than a gallon larger amounts should be stored in heavy drums at least 75 feet from the nearest building. Be your own fire warden. Treat gasoline with all the respect with which you treat dynamite. It's dangerous stuff! THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS SPONSORED BY THB FOLLOWING COMPANIES Farmer.' Central Mutual Fin iMUtfMC* Co.

SURELY UNUSUAL On Monday, August 31st, Mr. Hugh Greenis, South Broadway tonsoria! artist, shaved and fitted Mr. Herbert Stuckey of Caledon for his golden wedding anniversary. We fancy we hear some of our reader? say there is nothing unusual about that. But the unusual becomes apparent when we add that on August 31st, fifty years ago, Mr. Greenis shaved and prepared Mr. Stuckey for his wedd- : r.g day. It is seldom, indeed, that H bar-ber can say that he fitted one of his customers for two important occasions fifty years apart. Orange- vine Banner.
