For thirty-seven years Enoch God- win, sr., one of Kingston's best- known citizens, has been engaged m the insurance business With Evoch Godwin, jr., he is located at 39 Brock street. In view of the talk these days about fire prevention, & representative of the Whig had an interview with Mr. Godwin to get his views on the mattef, he havihg had such a widg ex- perience in the insurance business. Mr. Godwin is not ony well known in Kingston, but all ever the Kingston 'district, and has made insurance al- most, a life study. His views will be read' with interest. That a strict inspection of Mak would go" a long way preventing fires, is the opinion ex- preesed by Mr. Godwin. He states that agents taking risks should not receive them until they have made an Anspection of rhe property He be- ligves that there should be a law to Wiring 'about such action; and from what he has been able to see and dis- cover. he does no tthink that fire loss can be cut down until such lation is put into effect. In the bringing about of the need- ed inspection the amount of insur- ance would be limited, and this would be the means of doing away with many fires which occur from .time to time "You will find many people ready to trade an old lamp for a new one," is the wav Mr. Godwin puts the mat- ter, and it 1s a good example of what ~hé pointed out on the insurance ques- tion ~~ a great many fires are due to carelessness," said Mr. God- win, "but I am sure that if a proper inspection of the risks was carried out we would not have the fire losses that we have to-day." Another matter that Mr. Godwin pointed out was that there were many irresponsible men engaged in the surance business. who were get the commission coming to them, and in this way the amounts of insur- every legis- "Of eourse, ance were in many cases much larger lion fighting men from port to port, than they should be Mr. Godwin has a very timely sug- gestion in regard to the use of thresh ing machines. Many fires through the negligence of the ers in not having the spark arrester on their threshing machines, A pen- alty 4a the férm of a fine of $25 for farmers who neglect to use these ar- resters has been imposed, but Mr Godwin believes that there should be legislation to go further than this, in that all threshing machines should be put under license, and that they should also come under annual inspection, This would be a good thing to help cut down the number of fires. There is much. carelessness around thresh- ing machines, and if put under license and inspection, Mr. Godwin feels that much good would result Mr: Godwin/ also believes 'that the | fire: chiefiin a city should also have "the authority to make the final in- spectien of different things that-eome under fire supervision. 'CANADA 18 PRODUCING | MUCH MORE CHEESE The = ris in in1917 Were 37,- Pounds in Excess of 1914. J. 'A. Ruddick, Dairy 'and Cold Storage Commissioner for Canada, in a survey of the cheese situation, points out that the British Ministry (of Food, through the Dairy Produce Commission, has purchased Can- ada's entire exportable surplus of cheese this season. Just before the war the produc- tion of cheese in this country reach- ed the lowest point since 1914, but, stimulated by high prices, there has (been a substantial increase during | the past three years. Due to greater iproduction and conservation in , home consumption, exports of jcheese from Canada in 1917 were | greater by 37,000,000 pounds than {the 1914 exports. Mr. Ruddick contipuex. as fol- {lows in part: "The output in Mani- (toba and Alberta is increasing and takes the place of what was former- ily shipped from Ontario. The manu- factare of cheese has alto been re- '"vived in British Columbia this year. The production of cheese in the western provinces will not be large enough, however, to affeet mate- | rally the situation for some years 'to come, as the tendency is to make | butter rather than cheese. The {west is now in a position to supply its own needs in butter, shut out the {large quantity that formerly came {from New Zealand, and have a sur- {plus for export. . "The cheese producers of (Canada are really in a very fortunate posi- tion under thegextraordinary condi- | tions which [prevail. They are so because cheese is considered essen- | tial as a food both for the army in France and for the civil population in the United Kingdom, and be- = cause of our favorable position in regard to shipping as compared with New Zealand and other sources of supply of any consequence. The Im- = perial Ministry of (Food realizes that in order to ensure full produc- tion they must pay a good price. & These are encouraging features of the situation |which ensure' good prices for the future."

'He was conducting the cam- for funds in eighteen coun- ties in the Province of Ontario and 'was able to report much success. It is recognized that the time is now too short to conduct a campaign for subscriptions, but the week = was chosen by the (British Empire League in order not to approach too near to the Red Cross campaign. The City of Ottawa has guaranteed $50,000, and pther places were named that had agreed to contri- bute at the rate of fifty cents per thead. At a meeting held at Nap- anee the Counties of Lennox and Addington made a grant of $10,000. Toronto is giving at the rate of $1 a head. [The appeal is being made Dominion wide. At the conclusion of the address the mayor announced that a meet- ing of the (Council was being called for Tuesday mext to appoint an en- gineer in connection with a drain- age dispute, and the matter would be brought up for consideration then.
