F. Bishop, of Fire Mar- | shall's Department, Proves | Interesting Speaker -- Re-| marks Mlustrated by Mov- ing Pictures OF FIRE FIGHTERS Points Out Existence of Fire Hazards--Speaker Intro- duced to Kiwanis by Fire Chief W. R. Elliott L. F. Bishop, of the Fire Mar- shall's department, Toronto, de- livered the luncheon hour address at the Kiwanis Club yesterday, Mr. Bishop who was introduced to the club by Fire Chiet W. R. Elliott gave an intensely interesting ac- count of the various ways in which the majority of fires start and showed how they could be prevent. ed. The speech was clearly illus- trated by the use of several simple demonstrations and a moving pic ture machine. In introducing the speaker, Chief Elliott informed the club that the Fire Department had en- tered competition with other cities in the prevention of fires during Fire Prevention Week and during the rest of the year. The chief remarked that the Kiwanis club represented a cross section of the business life of the city and he was glad to be able to present to them a man well versed in the various phases of fire prevention. In opening his address, Mr. Bishop took a small celluloid doll such as is becoming very popular as a chilren's toy. He pointed out that such a doll was very danger- ous in the hands of a child, it being made of very inflammable * 'material which when ignited 'emits by 'one of these dolls - fod = a - - terrible fumes that are hard to extinguish. He cited a case Ip which a child was marked for life ignited while clasped in the arms of the child. Mr. Bishop stated that the proper manner in which to strike 'matches was to Strike away from] the body so that if the head of the match flew off it would not light on the body and cause pos- sible injury. The danger of the ignition of inflammable fluids by open flames through the transmis: sion, of the flame along the gases emitted by the fluids was amply demonstrated with the use of some corn starch which was shaken above a flame, the fire mounting up the powder to a considerable height. The same principle applied to gasoline fumes which are to blame for many fires through the careless exposure (of cigars and HARDWOOD FLOORS Laid by expert mechanics.

CHILOREN SHOW GREAT INTEREST IN PROSPERITY WEEK Submitted Art Posters of High Order--May Have Them Back One of the features of the Pros- perity Week program has been the interest taken in the various ac- tivities by the school children of the city. In order to stimulate their interest the committee ir charge offered generous prizes for art posters depicting Canada as a prosperous country. The children of the city responded in large numbers and many very original creations were submitted to the Leommittee for judging. The post- EF were colorful to say the least land showed a thorough knowledge of the resources and manufactur- ing wealth of the country. The posters are on display all this week in the lobby of the Regent Theatre. Those who sub- mitted posters may ' secure their work by calling at the theatre after Saturday. cigarettes when the tank on the family car is being filled, The power of gasoline as an explosive is tremendous said Mr, Bishop. One gallon of gas applied to a floor and allowed to evaporate will demolish a building as el- fectivey as 82 pounds of dynamite, if it becomes ignited. Mr. Bishop, with the aid of moving pictures, graphically show- ed the effects of fires in business houses and the damage which re- sulted from them. Bight-five per cent. of all fires were in. private homes, Mr. Bishop said. By the use of pictures he pointed out the different hazards in the home and pointed his arguments by showing pictures of the effects these haz- ards could have if ignored. Mr. Bishop paid tribute to the noble work that the firemen were doing in fighting fire. A fireman he said did mot know when he got a call whether he would come back to the hall alive, yet he never shirked his duty. More fire- men were killed in answering false alarms and returning to the Ife- halls than in. actually fighting fires, asserted Mr, Bishop. He made a plea. however that when a lire was noticed that an 'alarm should' be turned in. If the per: son noticing the fire did not hear the apparatus on the way, it was better to turn in 'many alarms than to have a loss of life through no alarm being turned in, he stated. "A 'home is a place of comfort and enjoyment," stated Mr. Bishop in conclusion, "but if through some carelessness it is destroyed by fire, with the possible loss ot life, it brings the necessity for fire prevention home to us in no un- certain manner. However let us not let it get that far for we can prevent fires before tfiey start by removing all the hazards that cause them and by exercising ex- treme care in the home."

Phone 2894, | a BE AT BEAVERTON Walking along Bond Street yes- terday morning an eriployee of the shipping department of the General Motors of Canada found on the sidewalk a little book which, upon examination, proved to be a Penny Bank boek dhich had evidently been lost.by its owner.+It had just one deposit marked in it and that deposit likely ' represented much to the child owneg but only amounted to two cents, That two cents likely was the candy money of some poor child in the city who has recently" learned the value of thrift. ' The: book was shown to other employees of the department and it was decided that all employee: should contribute every copper they had in their pockets at the Kindly Spirit Shown by General Motors Employees time, to swell the account of the child who had lost the book. When a count was made it was found that 106 coppers had been collected and these were taken to the bank with the lost book and deposited in the child's name. When that child once more comes into rightful'ownership of its bank book it will find the funds greatly swelled and it will likely prove to (that child without a doubt that it pays to be 'thrifty and that if it had not made this small contribu- tion. to the future of just "two mites" it would never have had now a credit in the bank of $1.08, t The spirit shown by the employees of the shipping' department of the G.M.C. In their kindly interest ir an unknown child, is to be com- mended. - Prosperity Week Dollar Has Vanished From Human Ken Rumor Has It That Scotch- man Has Salted Bill in a Sock to Accumulate in. terest The Prosperity Dollar has dis- appeared from view and a diligent search is being made to ascertain its whereabouts. - The dollar was in circulation on Monday evening and went' again on its travels on Tuesday morning, but very. little has been heard of it since.

T0 BE EXTENDED Ratepayers Will Be Allowed people into the city from the neigh- boring rural district. Farmers are welcome in Oshawa at any time but, if possible, the welcome will be outdone tomorrow. Goods, which are of particular interest to those who engage in the great primary occupation, will be sold at bargain prices and hundreds who drive in with empty motor cars may return home with back seats well laden.

They will be welcomed in any of the stores carrying the Prosper- ity Week sign--even if it is only to look around.

Oshawa, with the rest of Canada, is turning its face to the future and there is a rising tide of conviction that the days ahead will be days of peace, ofr plenty and of progress for this strong and vigorous young nation. 3 SPECIAL!
