Fire Safety in In today's society there is a strong tendency to walk away from responsibility. Sometimes it can be disas- trous. Fire safety in the homie is a glaring example. Improved building codes, hydro inspections and fire resistant building materials, ail contribute to making home a safer place to live. But people cause fires and most fires are the result of carelessness. So who is responsible for home fire safety? Isn't it a shared responsibility? Your fire department can only do so much, the rest is Up to you and your -family. Todays fire fighter will quickly share his prof es- sional knowledge with you but in the final analysis he can enly help you to help, yourself. Fire prevention in the home or apartment callk for an awareness of ire haz- ards and action to eliminate or minimize them. Most of this cails- for straight com- mon sense but much of the advice is ignored and the action delayed. The day to day observ- ance of sound ire preven- tion practices is both a per- sonal and community re- sponsibility, shared Witt your ire departmnent. The theme is public in. volvement. No longer do you find the curbs littered with empty cigarette packs or discarded candy wrap- pers. There wHilaiways be jugheads who are litter bugs but today they represent a small minority. We've been educated to observe sanitary ordinances and customns. Our garbage in most in- stances is carefully placed BROKE OUT IN, VOUR HOME? You would grab your family and head for the nearest door or wndow that wou Id take you to safety. Ther, you would cali the local fire department and your insuranr e agent. If you have adequate insurance, yoo wont have ta worry about replacing, rebuilding or repairing anythi;ng destroyed by f ire.

There's the weight of pub- lic opinion quietly infiuenc- ing our behaviour patterns. Why then are generally accepted fire prevention pra-tices so frequently ig- nored? Why this public apathy about fire itself? There is no one answer, but partially il, is because people have grown up be- lieving tire worries belong to their tire departments. September 8, 1976 The onth of August was another stable month of activi- ty at the Canada Manpower Centres mf Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax. A total of 554 per sors were placed in em- pl iiei-thoughý the three Ofice-, T thi ee Canada Man- e vr Centres for Students o leted operations at the end of' August. Included in the above placement figure are 171 student placements during August. As the student sum- mer program now comes to a close for 1976, any students who were registered with the Student Manpower Centres are ad\ ised to register with their regular Canada Man- power Centre if they are seeking part-time employ- ment during the sehool year. The summer program this year was very successful and many thanks go out to the staff of the student offices and area employers whose co-operation resulted in empioyment for many of the students in our are~a. During the month of August there were 16 agreements signed under the Canada Manpower Industrial Training Programn. A total of 19 people wîlii receiv e both training and employment as a result of tfese agreements. At the end of August there were 71 people receiving acadernie upgrading at Dur- ham Colege in preparation to enter varions skill training courses. At present there are 90 students in the skill training courses sponsored through the Canada Manpower Centre. The number of clients regis- tered for employment at the three Canada Manpower Centres for August totalled 7,420, 'onsisting of 3,231 male and 3,9211 female registrants. Also included in the total are 268 peopie who are employed and seeking other work. The decrease in total registrations from Juiy is attributable almost entirely to the -close of the student offices in anticipa- tion of the sehool term beginnmng in September. The majority of clients were registered in the following occupations: clerical and related oc cupations, sales, serviices, produçt fabricating, assembling and repairing occupations, construction trades and material handling. There continue to be good employrnn opportunities in the skilled trades,. There are currcnt requirements for tool an id ic makers, sheet metal workcrs, auto mechanies with ai Clas's "A" licence, mould- makers, machinists, welders COOL IDEA-Make sure your home is equipped wvith fire safety devices. IVs a fine vote of confidence but it isn't completely true. With latest available sta- tistics showing 45,242 resi- dential fires within a 12 month s period and property losses crowding, the $100 million level. it's time to pause and think. People died too. There were 725 deaths attributed to fire dur- ing this same period. The message is clear and urgent. Fire safety in the home must becomne a part of our daily if e style. The fire department can belp us help ourselves but fire pre- vention is a shared respon- sibility. After ail it's the safety of our families and our property that is at stake.
