Heaton, Ontario fire mar- shal, was the speaker at the regular noon luncheon of the Kiwanis Club in the Frontemac Hotel on Monday. The keynote of his very intefest- ing talk was "Fire Prevention" and he showed a zeal for his subject that at onée compelled attention and ad- miration. The celebrated case O'Leary's cow and the disastrous Chicago fire which resulted in the loss of thrée hundred lives and $250,000,000 worth of property was brought to mind by the speaker. It had beefi a great shock to the Ame- rican continent--yet .each year the people of North America were seem- ingly undisturbed by the fact that $500,000,000 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 tarough the income tax and touches théir 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. : y Lamb's satirical -essay on the "Origin of Roast Pig"""--the tale of the Chinese who accidentally found the roast carcass of a pig in a fire and kept on burning thefr 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 owners of New ¥ngland who banded themselves to- gether for protection against fire started the thing and it has beén taken up by large organizations gince that but to the general public is not nearly well enough known uor 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 of Mrs. trom $800,000 and eight to ten lives to less than $200,000 and no lives A -------------- Mr. Heaton advised all munieipa- lties' to get behind the fire chiefs them. The fire chief ntion, should be vested with as much dignity and responsibility, as the medical héalth officer for his mission 1s almost identical, the sav- ing of life and property. The fire chief is usually asked for no advice until the fire comes and then he is given abuse. If 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 erities know not a thing about the subject on which they are talking. The mission of firemen is more-to prevent fire than io extin- it, and departments should be given freer scope along this line. - The vote of thanks was moved by Kiwanjans Anglin and McCallum, and réceived with hearty applause. , Major-General Sir Archibald Mac- donell. was congratulated on his birthday and nked his fellow- members.
