ONTA.RIO L DI TORI4LS Deplorable Condition of Home for Aged The Northumberland-Durham Grand Jury sitting recently in Cobourg handed out a black eye to the entire building and facilities of the United Counties' Home for the Aged as very unsatisfactory. This Is no new story, but it is hoped, by repe- tition, the powers that govern our counties' activities will everitually take action be- fore a major catastrophy takes place. If you indulge in the habit of reading the quarterly reports of Counties Council's meetings at Cobourg you wifl recail that for months, yes, it's years, that this august body of civic adm.inis'rators have debated, inspected, appointed committees, jockeved for new location of the home, and other- Wise procrastinated until their fear of action lias become a joke, were it flot a iserious and vital matter in which the For Your Own Sake - This is the week that we are asked to bring the danger of f ire more prominently to the fore at a time xvhen the fire hazard is a greater risk during the winter months. We gladly comply with Fire Chief Lucius Hooper's request ini stressing this im- portant message. At this tirne of the vear, heating plants ail over the country in homes, factories, stores, offices, etc., are being put into operation as the season turns f rom summer ta winter and consequent colder weather. Ail premises are more closely barred for the purpose of keeping out the cold of winter. In vie\v of this, evervone should look over ail their premises to see if there are any possible hazards which couid start a f -re or help to f eed one should it get Ktarted. During the past summer there have been several bad fires throughout the area covered by this newspaper. If such occurred in winter, they would be the cause of much more suffering. We there- fore> urgýe that people in the country especially, where there fs lack of f irefight- inq equipment, use this week to check ail barns, shedis, homes. etc., for possible fire hazards of any kind. Take a look at electrical wiring. If it shows signs of the safety and the comfort of the inmatés are involved. You don't have to take our word for laxity the council has shown in the matter, for here is the Grand Jury's report as follows: "The entire building and facilities are not satisfactory for the aged. There were too many f lies - toilets were foul - b-ýds and bedding were poor - inadequate seat- ing in the very gloomy, dismal bedrooms - no lighting for bedside reading - gen- eral lighting throughout the building un- satisfactory - furnishings poor - unsat- isfactory ventilation throughout the build- ing - inadequate reading material - some inmates appeared unclean. "This grand jury would like to express its opinion that entire new facilities are required immediately." Fires- in Canadian homes, farms, commercial establish- mnents and industry last year caused a record-breaking dollar loss of $106,722,153 and cost the lives of 601 people, according ta the Ail Canada Insurance Fed- eration. The Federation, which re- presents more than 200 Canad- ian fire, casualty and automo- bile insurance companies, joins wvith other agencies, individuals and associations in urging every Canadian to take the following precautions during Fire Preven- tion Week, October 6-12 and throughout the rest of the year. 1. Neyer leave small children alone at home, even for the shortest period of time. Last year, 233 children, many un- attcnded, died in fires. 2. Teach children ta know and respect fire and make sure that matches, lighters and sim- HeIp Prevent Fires insulated covering cracking or breaking, have it checked. Check for overloading. Take out ail rubbish to a safe spot and burn it or bury it, don't leave it in the attic, basement or in the barn, where it might cause a fire. Check stoves. furnaces, pipes and chimneys, especially where thiese may go through upper floors or an attic. See that thev are ail cleaned before starting steady l ires. Il water pipes f reeze during the winter, use a sale method to thaw them out. Better check now and try to prevent them freezing. Warn ahl smokers to be careful with their cigarettes, matches, etc. Don't allow smoking in the barns or other sheds. Make sure that children do flot have matches and stop them from playing with l ire of any kind. These and many more are the hazards you can look for and try to eliminate. By s0 doing, you can help ta keep your homes and other buildings reasonably sale. Like anything else, lires do flot just start, there is a cause somewhere. Flash lires happen suddenlv, but there is a cause, oftentimes it is carelessness in handlingr, or failure to takce propDer precautions. For Your Own Sake - H{elp to Prevent Fires. Burn ed Barn is a Tragedy Apart fromn deaths in the family there cani be no greater tragedy on a f arm than the burning af a barri, comments the Windsor Star. Especialiy as al boo olten it is accompanied by ioss of ivestock, leed and equipment. Even though it be wel insured it stili is a eerious blow. When one remembers it costs $14,000 or so to build a sma]l house one can esti- mate what it costs ta build a big barn perhaps 80 leet long by 50 leet wide and 40 or more feet high, and then ta equip it '%with stabling and other accessories. That - i why so many oid Ontario barns, once burned, neyer are replaced or are replaced by much smaller, less adequate buildings. Most of the substantial old barns in Ontarlie were buiît relatively cheap. Olten the timbers for the h'tge beams and the lumber for the sides and roof were cut L-om the forests we'thi which farms were then endowed. Even the stones for stone- work usually were picked off the land. And, where there was limestane, the lime often was burnt in a lime' kiln on the farm. Much of the actual labor was donc by the farmer and his sons. Barn-lramers were important men in the community. They wouhd do the de- tailed work. Then, when the time came to put the barn up, there wouid be the "raising"'. Ail the neighbors wouid give a hand. Teams wouhd be picked, ta vie with ane another as ta which couid raise its section first. A barn-raising was a social event as well as a practicai one. Those aid Ontario barns, olten with the large painted sien "Children Cry for Castoria" were stoutly built. Many have iasted a century or more.

That was a public notice. Since the beginning af time, men nave found it necessary to communicate ta others, infor- mation of importance ta ail. When Canada was young, life was simple. People, af neces- sity, lived close together. When one man had a message for sev- eral others, lie usually knew where ta find them. If the mes- sage must cover a wider area, the town crier was employed ta inforrn one and all. The system was adequate. But then Canada began to grow. People moved out over a wider and wider area. The spreading of vital information became more difficult. For a time the accepted means was the posting of notices in public places. If the persans concernied happened ta pass the proper place, and the notice was still hanging, and they happened ta read it, objective was accom- plished. But Canada grew more-and meeting, and recreation, con- ciuded by square-dancing led by Charles Grandy and Murray Jackson.

Problems h3ving ta do with land ownershîp, debis, estates, purchases. elections, improvements, began ta arise, as Canada -became big business. Then was born the "Public Notice." As they always have, whien needs regarding the pub- lic welfare have arisen, the newspapers aI the country took on an added chore. Today's newspaper is the chief medium for Public Notice3 of all kînds. Those notices are there for your information and protection and your guidance. They contain news-of your friends and neighbars, of pub- lic affairs that affect you as an indîvidual and as a member af your community. They have grown out of a necessity for one man ta înform others of bisi- tentions. They are printed ini the newspaper sa that ail men may KNOW and be able ta live together in a well-ordered so- ciety. Somne such notices are now required by law. Others are pubiished simply because one persan wants bis fellow citizens ta know where he stands. In any case, they are there for YOUR information-and ýhey must be read by YOU ini order ta serve their purpose.
