It has been estimated that the fire loss in Canada exceeds $45,000,000 annually and that the loss of life each year runs to 200 persons. These figures present an appal- ling picture, especially when it is taken into consideration that the Itsa Difficult P1 oblem The Haileybury town council is at present wrestling with the very difficult problem of caring for the unemployed. For best authorities have estimated that 80 per cent. of the fires are due to carelessness. Some suggestions are being made towards prevention of fires, suggestions that have been reit- the|/erated time and time again, but past few weeks they have been|which appear to go unheeded by giving particular attention to many people.

The men who are out of work are doing all in their power to secure a way of making their own living, but in spite of all this the problem will be serious before the winter is over. However, it will be hand- led in the best possible way, tak- ing into consideration all angles, and the confirmed impression at the present is that conditions in general are improving and we may look for a return to normal within a reasonable time. We Plead Not Guilty Last Week The Haileyburian received an unsigned letter mak- ing some complaints in regard to the water supply and, while it is not the custom to pay any atten- tion to communications of this nature, this one contains a State- ment that is not correct. The writer says that The Haileyburian stated recently "the new water stystem would be of the same 'soft quality' as Lake Temiska- ming." No such statement was ever made in these columns. What was said was that the water in Constance Lake was approxi- mately of the same quality as Lake Temiskaming in regard to softness, and this we believe to be the case. Our conclusion was drawn from tests personally made at the lake and without any at- tempt at analysis, and we believe that this is as good a test as any. Everyone knows that the spring water which has been piped into the reservoir is hard and_ that this quality is particularly notice- able after using, the soft water of goes on can accurate estimate|/warehouses, factories, etc., should Public buildings, such as stores, be carefully inspected with the while hotels, should all be made improvements|to comply with the definite safe- ty regulations which exist in all communities. Fire drills in schools and _ all other buildings where children are congregated are very impor- tant and have proved their worth on many occasions. Special in- structions should be given all children, both in school and in the home, with a view to impressing on their minds the great danger that can exist from fire. And last, but not least, watch the forests. It is in the woods that the greatest danger lies in the North Country. We have all suffered from forest fires. have all perhaps been guilty at times of carelessness and thus contrib- uted to the great fire loss. There will be many campers, hunters or hikers who will go into the woods before winter sets in and all should bear in mind the great danger. In Haileybury we know that it was in the autumn when the last big fire came and we have no surety that the same thing might happen again. Let us try to remember, at all times, but particularly during fire pre- vention week. ODD JOBS WANTED One member of the committee of unemployed in town asks. The Haileyburian this week to state that the men would be grateful for any odd jobs that citizens in more comfortable circumstances have to be done. As the fall sea- son is approaching there should be plenty of work to be done and if those having the jobs will make their wants known to us we will be glad to pass on the word to Lake Temiskaming.

Only the supply from the springs has been utilized and that only a part of the time, but when the entire system is in operation there should not bé any cause for com- plaint. reservoir Fire Prevention Week The week of October 9th to 15th has been sét aside this year s "Fire Prevention Week" and every citizen is requested to do something towards lessening the New Public Health Nurse Takes Over Duties Here Miss Gladys Motley of Thorold, Ont., is the new public health nurse for Haileybury. She was engaged recently to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna- tion of Miss Farr, who has filled the position for the past couple of years. Miss Motley arrived in town last week and has taken up her work, visiting the schools at regular intervals and holding the usual weekly infant welfare clinic on Thursday afternoons, besides making periodic calls at places where her services, are needed. 'Some 30 or over and all expressed themselves as] BI Clover Valley News Mr. Wm. Reid was a week-end visitor at Mr. S. Craig's. Mr. Alex. Johnston is 'ill at his home on West Road. We hope he may soon recover. Miss Florence MacLean has returned from the summer cot- tage at Atherley. . Mr Jack McLean, Gordon Lee and Ken Johnston, of Toronto, were Labor Day visitors at the home of Mrs. John MacLean. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Larocque in the death of their son, Roland, which took place at his home on Saale evening. Mrs. James McConnell hha's gone on a month's visit with friends in Renfrew. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Plaunt also left by motor to visit relatives at Ren- frew on Tuesday. , : On Friday of this week our annual School Fair is to be held-le It is to be hoped the fine weather may continue as this is a very in- teresting event for both the children and their parents. The regular monthly meeting of the W.I. took place on the 7th at the home of Mrs. S. Craig A large attendance and a fine day being quite ericouraging. Dele- gates were appointed for the convention in New Liskeard at the end of this month. A large crowd attended the shower given in the school on Friday night for Miss Cora Scholl and a fine display of useful and beautiful presents showed the popularity in which the young couple are held. Her marriage to Mr. Herb. Fernholm on Satur- day last took place in North Co- balt. We wish 'them. a happy journey through life.

Montreal Man is Chess Champion for Fourth Time (Continued from Page 1) between Morrison and Martin, which took over 13 hours to play. It was started in the third round on Monday-and was only finished on Thursday after four sessions, during which a total of 107 moves were made by the players. rison won the contest. On Thursday evening a meet- ing of members of the Dominion Chess Federation was held witha view to discussing reorganiza- tion. It was pointed out that the organization was rather un- wieldy, comprising. as it does clubs as widely separated as Hal- ifax and Vancouver. The meet- ings to decide the: championship are thus difficult to arrange, as they involve a long journey by numbers of the players. Some find it impossible to attend for this reason and the upshot of tne meeting was the appointment of a committee to go into the mat- ter and endeavor to make some satisfactory arrangement, which will serve to stimulate the game in smaller centres. It was sug- gested that the Federation might be divided into two groups, an eastern and a western one, with winners of. the two playing off at some central point, and this will BRITISH COLUMBIA' MAY HAVE UNIONIST GOVERNMENT Reports from Victoria state that Premier Tolmie (centre,of British Columbia, has decided to try and form a uni ist government in order to solve the problems of the province. vative Premier of the Province, is stated to be playing a prominent role in the situation, while T.

He stated that there had been as many onlookers at the -|games as had been the case at the last two tournaments, held in Montreal and Hamilton, and that the players had spent a very en- joyable week.
