MAKES STRONG APPEAL FOR FIRE PREVENTION 'Big Fire Losses Due Largely to |. Carelessness Says Chief > Armstrong. That every citizen should do his for her share in the interests of fire prevention, was the keynote of a splendid address given to the mem- bers of the Kingston Rotary Club, at their noon-day luncheon on Fri- day, in the British-American hotel by Fire Chief James Armstrong. A story of the terrible loss from fire caused through carelessness was related by Kingston's chief, who sounded the call for people to be careful. : The address was listened to "with very keen interest by the members, and coming as it did during "Fire Prevention Week," it was indeed most timely. The president, Leman A, Guild, presided and there was a good turn out of the members. In his opening remarks, Chief Arm- strong stated that fire prevention was at the present time occupying foremost attention of the fire departments all over the province.

The department could not spare a man for carrying out the necessary. inspections, but the speak- er felt that it was a question that would have to be taken up by the city council at an early date, and he hoped that it would receive the warm sup- port of the council and citizens. Chief Armstrong drew attention to the fact that last year, in Canada, the loss through fires amounted to $45, 500,000. here were 27,600 fires, and these figures did not include forest 7 tarians. Rotarian H. E. Pense, who has been unable to attend the gather- to illness, was. present and was given 2 most enthusiastic reception. The luncheon was marked by the usual snappy roll call and Rotary songs. MUST PAY DOG TAX: CITZENS BEFORE: COURT If You Happen to Own a Can~- Ine Be Sure and Get - a Tag. ---- If you happen to own a dog, pay the city for a tag. you neglect this all-important matter, it will mean that you will have a fine of $1 and costs to pay, ir.addition to paying for the tax. he matter has now been given over to the hands of the police, so if the family pet is running around without a.tag, the police will be sure to get you, so a word tip to the wise should be sufficient, In police court Friday morning, four citizens were fined $1 and costs, with the option of ten days, for not paying up. One citizen claimed he did not own a dog. "Then we will have the dog des- troyed," said the magistrate." Are you willing? If you don't own the dog, what are you harboring it for?" "It belongs to another party," put in the citizen. "But how long have you had it?" "About a year." " "Well, I guess we can call you the owner. The fine will be $1 and costs." Another citizen claimed he did not et a notice to pay and stated that the og belonged' to: his wife. "Do you want your wife summon- ed to court?' asked the magistrate. "No, I guess it will be all the same fires. There had been paid in insur- ance, the sum of $65,000,000 and the sum of $22,000,000 for fire protection, making a total for all $132,500,000. This figured out at $5.35 per capita, in insurance and $10 per capita, combin- ing the fire loss and protection for the dominion with over eighty per cent of the fires and the losses which could have been avoided through or- dinary care. Carelessness and neglect had been the cause of the fires, to a very large extent. Chief Armstrong remarked that al- steady he had in arte ul of $150,000 loss in fires, on his books for this year, which had every indication of being the highest on record, in the history of the city for fire loss. And what had caused this immense loss? He would say carelessness or neglect. The speaker referred to many of the fires which have occurred in Kingston during this year, pointing out the loss through carelessness. One very impor- tant matter touched upon, is the great danger from shingle roofs. These shingles must not Ee used unless they {were properly protected. The city by- law ca!':d for the shingles to be laid on fourteen-pound asbestos paper, For the congested portion of the city, me- tal or slate should be used. Clean Up Campaign. The chief pointed out that just re- cently a very serious fire had been narrowly averted, when sparks from a chimney set fire to shingles on a roof. A Another very important matter re- ferred to by the fire chief, had to do with a clean-up campaign. He pointed out the great risk merchants and citi. zens take in allowing their yards to be filled with refuse. The speaker had been making an appeal year after year for the cleaning up of the city, and thought that surely followin the experience of the big fires in northern Ontario, an endeavor would be made to clean up. The chief intimated that he was tired of making his appeals, and that it was his intention to take legal actio®™ against offenders in this respect. e speaker also emphasized the fact that at the present time, King- ston only had sufficient fire protec- tion to cope with small fires, and re- marked that up till the present time, kind Providence had favored the city. For some time, there had been an agitation on behalf of fire prevention, and the legislature and the govern- ment at Ottawa, had been seized with the idea that something would have to be done. Through the Ontario Fire Prevention League, an effort was be- ing put forth to impress upon the Ron] children, the great necessity for fire prevention. In order to encourage the, study of fire prevention, medals had been offered to the scholars in the schools, in writing essays on fire prevention. Nine medals were awarded each year in Kingston. Two medals were also awarded for nurses-in-train- ing. It was hoped that fpch good would be carried on for fite preven. tion through the children. The speak- er made special reference to the care which should be taken in the handling of matches, pointing out how many serious fires had been caused as the result of some person dropping a lighted match, n his closing remarks, Chief Arm- strong said that he hoped he would secure 'the assistance of the club in his fire prevention work. On motion of Rotarian C. C. Nash, Chief Armstrong was tendered a hearty voteof thanks for his address. Rotarian Nash paid a warm tribute to Chief Armstrong, and the work he has as head of the local Kingston at heart, and that he was doing everything possible for the wel- fare of the city and the people. The chief was a public servant endeavor- ing to carry out his duty. "We as a Rotary Club can do in to him," added Rotarian Nash. if you fine me." remarked the citizen, who went dowr® in his jeans for the odd dollar. The other two offenders pleaded guilty to the charge without making any coment. a---------- REX COMPANY AT GRAND.

Some time ago, writes a subscriber to The Youth's Companion, I was travellingdn Europe with a young lady who lived in a small town way Down East in Maine, and who was more generally informed in the history, lit- erature, art and music of the caun- tries we visited than those who. had lived in and had the advantages of a large city, "Where were you educat- ed?" I asked. "I was brought up in my home town and on The Youth's Companion," was her reply.
