TORONTO OFFICE : 518 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Telephone Adelaide 0107, H, D. Tresidder, representative, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28th, 1930 AN ECONOMIC WASTE There was sound logic in the appeal made to the Rotarians yesterday by Deputy Fire Marshall Lewis that all citizens should co- npérate ifi cutting down the serious economic 1088 to Canada by fire. He struck at the root of the problem when he sald that what was destroyed by fire was irreparably lost, and could never be brought back, and he showed that last year Canada suffered loss of nearly $50,000,000 from this cause, or two dnd a half times the amount set aside by the federal government to provide work for the unemployed, _ The problem of fire waste is a serious one, A young country like Canada cannot afford to burn up $50,000,000 a year, and that is what it amounts to. Fire losses are, in most cases, made good by insurance but insurance has to be financed through the paying of premiums, and these become a charge against every article that Is manufactured and sold in this country, because they are included in the overhead costs of manufuac- turing and distribution of products, Thus every citizen of Canada today Is paying a substéntial tribute to the fire fiend, who thrives on the carelessness of those who are responiible for eighty per cent, of the fires, The key to the whole situation Is in the fact that eighty «cent, of all fires are caused hy carelessness, This makes it es- sential that there should be intensive atten- tion paid to creating In the public mind a sense of responsibility for the prevention of fire, That is the mission on which Mr, Lewis was engaged on his visit to Oshawa, That was the main thought of his address to the Rotary Club -- that every person should realize that he or she has a responsi- bility to soclety to help reduce the economic waste of fire losses by taking every precau- tiop to prevent the creation of fire hazards, and every care to avoid actions which might restlt in an outbreak of fire, MAKING BETTER FARMERS One of the finest things which the Hon, J. 8. Martin did while he was minister of ag- riculture of Ontario was to institute the visit each year to the Royal Winter Fair of five Hundred of the brightest young farmers of the province, These young men are selected for the visit by the falr competition in live stock and crop judging, and this week scores of young farmers of Ontario will assemble at Beaverton for the contest to decide who will be the ten fortunate boys to represent this county at the big Fair next month, There is a two-fold value to this project established by the Hon, Mr, Martin, In the first place, there is the value of the training for the conipetition in judging live stock and crops. * This training makes the young men better fitted to become successful in the pro- fession of agriculture, since it increases thelr pragtical knowledge of all the important es- gentials of farming. And, secondly, the visit to the Royal Winter Fair is in itself a lib- eral education in successful farming, There they can see the best which Canada produces in live stock and in crops, They can coms pare notes with other young farmers, can study the exhibits of the various depart. ments of agriculture, and in the short space of four days can acquire a vast fund of use- ful knowledge. In short, the whole Martin scheme is help- ing to make better farniers for the province of Ontario, and on that score alone it will stand as a memorial to the enterprise and foresight which he exhibited while he held oftice, ' SHORTER HOURS OF LABOR It is interesting to note how many of the Prafinent business and financial men of this country and the United States, are leaning in favor of a shorter working day and week as & means of relleving the employment de- pregajon which is being felt over the whole world, Speaking at a function in Toronto the other night, the Rt, Hon. Arthur Meig- hen, former prime minister of Canada, sub. geribed to that view, and held it up as one of the means whereby employment could be spread over a larger number of workers. The six hour day was especially mentioned by, Him as being one of the things of the future, and he saw in it a movement, not only to absorb a larger number of workers Into industry, but alse to improve the living atid working standards of the workers of the world. : For yedrs the idéd of a shorter working ddy and shorter working week has been ex- clusively an idea fostered by labor, Labor ) leaders have preached it and worked for it ih 8nd out of season; ahd they have, to bone extent, achieved some Butcess In cutting down hours of labor, Their ultimate goal still lies ahead, and it is very significant that in seeking it they are now enlisting the co- operation of men who might be considered as being in the employér, rither than t employee class, usiness and Indust leaders are realizing that invention an science have dltered employment conditions tremendously, and that they are largely re- sponsible for much of the unemployment that has been prevalent. And they are rea- lizing too, that in order to remedy condi- tions in any permanent way, there will have to be radical revisions 'of industrial princi. ples among which the shorter working week is bound, in time, to take a prominent place, STERN PUNISHMENT REQUIRED Farmers of Ontarlo today, trying to add to their incomes by raising poultry, find themselves impoverished time and again by the activities of chicken thieves, In all Ages, it seems, farmers have heen made victims of raiders and bandits, At oie time, horse and cattle thieves preyed upon the live stock of the farmers, who retaliated hy having thelr own codes of swift and stern justice and punishment when these men were caught, The chicken thief is» the modern counterpart of the horse-rustler, and he is deserving of just as severe punishment, Nowaddys, however, the suffering farmers cannot take the law Into thelr own hands as thelr predecessors did. They have to depend on the forces of the law and order for pro- tection against the evildoers, Very often, however, they become impatient with the slowness with which justice moves, and even more Impatient with the apparent inability of the authorities to give them adequate pro- tection against the raids of chicken. thieves, That is why the poultrymen of the Port Perry district recently organized a system of night watches which resulted in a large scale attempt at poultry stealing being frustrated, The only safeguard which poultrymen have against these thieves is the force of the law, That can only be made effective when magistrates and other presiding justices treat the offence with the severity it de- serves, Night raids on chicken houses will be stopped only when the offenders realize that the penalties awaiting them, If caught, are too severe to make it worth while to take the risk, DECORATING WAR MEMORIALS The British government has started an interesting controversy by its ruling that of- ficial visitors to Britain from other coun- tries should no longer consider it necessary to lay wreaths on the Empire's cenotaph in . London, England, This announcement has been subjected to strong criticlsm from many sources, but the later explanation of the government makes it clear that the de- cislon was reached, not In order to eradicate the memories of the Great War, as had been reported in some circles, but rather to elim- inate what threatened to become formal and meaningless ceremonies, There is much to commend that thought, It has been particularly noted in Toronto that certain types of people have adopted the plan of decorating the cenotaph there, not out of a genuine desire to hohor those in whose memory it has been erected, but be- cause of the favorable publicity to be se- cured by so doing, This has been the sub- Ject of many protests from people and or- ganizations which are anxious to keep the cenotaph and its decoration as sacred things. It is well that those who are remembered by war memorials in any community should be honored by the decoration of the memorial from time to time, But such decoration should not be made an empty formality. un. dertaken as duty. It should be imbued with the proper spirit of reverence and thanksgiving to those who sacrificed them. selves in the war, It should be carried out as a tribute of heartfelt gratitude to them, Conducted on any other basis, the decoration of a war memorial becomes a sham and a mockery, And the British government has apparently seen that there was a danger, on account of too frequent decoration, that the ceremony would become a meaningless form. alism rather than the sacred rite which it otght to be, EDITORIAL NOTES There will be casualties yet in the rush to grab a portion of that $20,000,000 relief fund of the Dominion government,~Kiteh- ener Record, It seems it will be a cold winter, if it isn't an open winter and fairly warm.--Brandon Sun, No news Is good news, except to the col- lege student who is looking for a cheque from home.

Now the old idea that the burned surface should be kept covered from the air is correct and so vaseline, butter, or any gleise avajlable may be quite properly applied, If you have tea with you and you can brew it quickly, owing to the tannic acid it contains, can be poured over the burn or soaked in clean gauze or cloths and laid over the wren, Jt should be made as strong us possible, With water or other fluids avail- able the victim should he made drink even more than he wants; it should be forced an him.
