Civil Defence (Continued from Page 3) Thomas Street and the old township boundaries, east and west of the city, would be the limits of fire damage if there were not wind, hut that injuries from glass could re- sult as far north as Camp Samac. CAN SAVE LIVES The question might be asked as to why the city should bother about civil defence if damage and injury was to be so widespread. The fact remained, Mr. Millman said, that the lives of many could be saved if provision for their care was ready when the emergenqy presented it- self. The idea behind last night's meet- ing was for the representatives of the organizations present to discuss the situation with their fellow members and initiate (the idea of working in unison with othér groups in the community in a united ef- fort. 5 The.

FIGHT- ACIDITY AND CONSTIPATION 'No Accident' Campaign On Next Month "Increase in the number of in- dustrial accidents that have been reported in "Ontario this year indi cates the- need for constant vigil- ance and continued emphasis on accident prevention by both em- ployers and employees," R. G. D. Anderson, general manager of Ine dustrial Accident Prevention Asso- ciations, stated in announcing that manufacturing industries in One tario would conduct a "No Acci- dent" Month campaign October.

"If this trend continues during the last half of 1951 we will have some 210,000 ac- cidents in Ontario during the year and the awards for compensation and medical aid will exceed $25,~ 000,000," Mr. Anderson predicted. The "No Accident" Month cam- paign will include special appeals to both employers and employees which will highlight the need for elimination of industrial hazards, constant attention to 'accidént pre- vention. It will stress the fact that results can be achieved only if the work Is continued on a year-round basis. Special bulletins will be issued for use by the 17,000 manu- facturing industries which com- prise the Association's membership. "No Accident" pledge cards will be made available for distribution to all employees. .
