Port Perry's New Fire Alarm System A modern emergency reporting system will soon take over the job of protecting Port Perry homes-and of- fices from the ravages of fire and other. disasters, The system will be installed by The Bell Telephone Company and will operate through the telephone net- work. It will go into use July 6 when the exchange here is converted to dial éperation. ; The emergency system will con- sist of seven special telephones In- stalled in the homes of members. of the volunteer fire brigade. To report.a fire, a person would merely dial the number assigned to the emergency reporting system-- YUkon 65-2346. © All seven of the special telephones will ring simultan- eously. The first fireman to answer will abtain the details, and using a key associated with his telephone, will start the siren wailing. The seven telephones connected with -the special emergency line cannot be used for outgoing ealls -- although other members of the department can listen in to the fire report--but siren codes can be used to let all know the approximate location of the blaze. J.- W. Lowry, Bell Telephone man- ager for this region, said that "effec- tive fire protection is dependent on the speed in which an emergency can be reported. Port Perry's fire alarm - system has been designed specifically to meet the needs of this community. Similar systems have been placed in service in other Ontario communities by the Bell company in recent years and the results have been gratifying." Obituary CHARLES N.

D, Dymond, Minister of Transport, visited the Port Perry Pub- lic School on Monday afternoon, to speak to the pupils. The Ontario Department of Trans- port, in co-operation with the Depart- ment of Education, is providing a Safety Game to all elementary school children of the province which will enable the youngsters to keep their traffic safety score for one. month. The game also 'provides a list of 10 safety rules and a daily score card. The pupils will keep their safety score and when they return to school in the Fall they will bring their com- pleted card with them.- They will then be eligible for a special safety award. . -Hon, M. B. Dymond, Minister of Transport, said the principal purpose of the Safety Game was to keep the children intrested in safety while they were away from the supervision of their teachers. "The parents must carry most of the responsibility for child safety dur- ing the vacation months," Dr. Dymond said. "We hope that every parent will encourage théir children to play the Safety Game." Dr. Dymond said the Safety Game was the first step in a province-wide campaign for child safety during September.
