WITH ORDINARY CARE 9 OUT OF EVERY 10 FIRES MIGHT BE PREVENTED Every week across Canada, fire strikes at well over one thousand homes, Financially this means a sickening yearly waste of nearly $30,000,000-but this Is the least of the story, Actually, the typical house fire averages $500.00 in damages. What really hurts is that three quarters of all our fire deaths occur in these homes == and that for everyone killed many more are horrribly burned and often permanently scarred. This is human life and human agony, Such is the heart of the fire services' appeal at Fire Prevention Week -- for every man, woman and child, Especially for the children, who make up nearly half the victims. Out of every ten fires, NINE are the result of ordinary carelessness and thoughtless ne« glect of simplest precaution, And regardless of the cause, exerienced fire fighters point out, many of the tragedies are needless. Unfamiliar with fires behaviour, the victims are often trgpped by their own ignorance, They might have gotten out if they knew how, They didn't know how. So they die Every HOME, every FACTORY can richly profit by learning the simple lessons of fire and safety, : THIS PREVENTION APPEAL IS SPONSORED BY THE FOLLOWING: ST.
