Heaton, Ontario fire mar- shal, was the speaker at the regular noon luncheon of the Kiwanis Club in the Frontenac Hotel on Monday. The keynote of his very interest- ing talk was "Fire Prevention" and he showed a zeal for his subject that at onde compelled attention and ad- miration. 7 The celebrated casé of Mrs. O'Leary's cow and the disastrous Chicago fire which resulted in the loss of three hundred lives and $250,000,000 worth of property was brought to mind by the speaker.

NewDiotes 2 ie 2c. people ot North America were seem- ingly undisturbed by the fact that $600,000,000 in property and "15, 000 lives are lost through fire. People sit up and take notice of the cost of the war and the destruc- tion wrought by it because it is brought home to them tnrough the income tax and touches thélr poe- "kets, It thus impresses taem. Yet the people of 'Ontario are ;yearly paying $16,000,000, and it does not bother them because they are not called upon directly to pay for it, even though they pay it indirectly in their purchase of food, clothing and other necessary articles. If all the fire losses were gathered in one sum and the processes shown by which each citizen pays a part of it yearly, the fire menace could more easily be driven home to the mind of the gen- eral public. But the psychology of the American mind is that it does not worry about that which it does not see. x Lamb's satirical essay on the "Origin of Roast Pig"--the tale of the Chinese who accidentally found the roast carcass o! a pig in a fire 'and kept on burning their homes and pig pens that they might enjoy the delicacy until one more bright than the rest conceived the idea of roasting the pig without destroying the homes---is the idea behind the genesis of fire prevention. The cotton factory gwners of Néw fingland who banded themselves to- gether for protection against fire started the thing and it has beén taken up by large organizations eince that but to the general public is not pearly well enough known or as seriously considered as it should be. Portland, Ore., had for years the heaviest losses.on the continent, Yet through the efforts of a fire chief and his "men, who undertook a house-to-house campaign of fire prevention, the losses were reduced from $800,000 and eight 'to ten lives to less than $200,000 and no lives. listo, f Get Behind Fire lities' to get behind the fire chiefs and back .them. The fire chief attention, should be vested with as much dignity and responsibility, as the medical héalth officer for his mission is almost identical, the sav- ing of life and property. 'The fire chief {s usually asked for no advice until the fire comes and then he is given abuse. It it is a small fire he is abused for using too much water---if a.large one he is abused for using not enough wa- ter. He is never right, even though most of his critics know not a thing about the subject on which they are talking. The mission -of firemen is more to prevent fire than lo extin- guish it, and departments should be given freer scope aleng this line.
