Canada's fire waste in 1941 am- ounted to more than $28,000,000 in property loss and 323 lives lost, we are to give of our best in this war against Naziism, Fascism and Japanese Imperialism, we must re- duce our fire waste by many mill- ions of dollars. We must realize that every fire is a national calam- ity, something that eats into our reserves of much needed material or slo.wm down jduction. Fire is one of the mean* by which the enemy hopes to defeat us and it doesn't matter whether it is of accidental origin or set by a saboteur, the same purpose is accomplished. Carelessness is the jrreatest -ab- oteur to date in Canada. We can eliminate that threat to our war ef- A presentation was held at the fort by being more careful with fire home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Marshall, in our daily life.
