LET BHESLIN**S HELP YOU TO LOOK AS SMART AS THE t4EXT ONE AT NEXT-TO-NOTHING PRICES BRESLIN'S Bowma nville Whitby During 1956, the Bowman- ville Volunteer Fire Depart- ment answered a total of 44 fire alarms within the Bow- manville area, Fire Chief L. Hooper. states in bis annual re- port. 0f these, 23 were in the Town of Bowmanville, while the remaining 21 werc in Dar- lington. Threc of the tawn alarms proved to be false. In his report, Chief Hooper has pointed out some important fire prevention factors, which if adhercd to, should lessen the danger of fires occurring in the home. False Alarms Big Problems Actual fire damage within the town was low. The big problem stili continues to be false alarms. Manday afternoon an alarm was reccîved from the box on Elgin Street. Bath trucks were rushed ta the scene and the alarmn proved to be false. Chie! Hooper said, drivers use extreme caution on the way ta any fixe, cspecially those late in the afternoon. School child- ren are using the streets and roads on the way home from school, which makes it danger- ous answering calîs at this time of the day, especially false alarms. There have been a consider- able number of false alarms from the box on Elgin Street and if tbey continue, it may be necessary to remove the box, he added. Parents' cooperation is asked with this problem. Chie! Hoop- er bas requested parents to please instruct their children, not to tamper with the boxes. Is Your Home Safe Chie!
