Leishman & Sutherland, Publishers FIRE PREVENTION WEEK > Fire Prevention Week, an an- nual period set apart by the Do- minion Government, commences this year on October 4th, a date that has a vivid place in the memory of many present resi- dents of Haileybury. It was on that date, 14 years ago, that the | last big fire destroyed more than | half of this town, taking a toll of nearly a dozen lives and wiping out the whole of the business section and many of the homes. Perhaps the date this year will serve to bring the importance of fire prevention more sharply be- fore our minds and persuade us to pay just a little more attention to our own defences against an enemy that yearly takes a serious toll Vhile we have not the same hazard that we faced 14 years ago, there is still a great neces- sity to be ever watchful. The| Dominion Fire Commissioner has sent to the newspapers a number of timely articles in connection with the Fire Prevention Week, from which we have picked the following, headed "Fire Preven- tion in the Home." 'The best place for fire preven- tion to. start in the home. Charity should start there accord- ing to the ancient saying, and certainly safety should come first. | In order to safeguard the home, inspection should be made, not only Fire Prevention week, but periodically throughout the year. All heating and lighting equip- ment examined, chimney and pipes kept clean of soot. No smoke pipes permitted through combustible walls; disposition of ashes safeguarded. The fuse cabinet should be of metal or as- bestos lined. Fuses in all fuse-} blecks, none of them bridged, and| not over 15 ampere fuses used in branch circuits. All drop cords should be insulated ,and_ not supported on any conductive ma- terial. Electric irons always de- tached when not in use and kept on metal stands Matches should be kept out of | the reach of children and the} children should be regularly taught the danger of fire and not to play with matches. Closets should be kept clean and all rubbish removed from the entire premises. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Perhaps that is the reason it always plays such| an important part in fire preven- tien is It is not the intention to give all the details of home inspection. You have already admitted to yourselves that you can safe- guard your own homes. Put the impulse into action. Start this Fire Prevention Campaign in your home where fire ever lurks to destroy you and yours. And then by vigilance and regular re- inspection, you will be adding greatly to your store of safety and happiness for all time to come." EXONERATE DRIVER OF CAR CAUSING 'FATALITY ON HIGHWAY LAST WEEK Alfred Hantske, driver of the car which brought fatal injuries to 74-year-old Napoleon Cote near his home at 104 on Wednes- day last, was exonerated from all blame in the fatality by the coroner's jury in Cobalt on Mon- day of this week. Dr., J.A. Kane conducted the enquiry, with Crown Attorney J. B. Robinson examining the wittlesses. In their verdict the jury expressed the belief that the driver had done all in his power to avoid striking the man and that no blame could be attached to him. Mr. Hantske said that he had been driving not faster than 30 miles per hour, that he had swer- ved with all possible haste to avoid striking the man, but that Cote, when partly across the road had turned and "rushed back". The only other eye=witness,! Alex Jacob, stated that..he. had' been some 600 or 700 feet distant at the time and could not estimate the speed of the car, while Pro- vincial Constable Stromberg, who investigated the fatality, said that the car must have been going very fast" judging hy skid marks which he had measured BUSINESS IS GOOD ON AIR LINES EXTENDING FROM HAILEYBURY PORT Business over the air lines ex- tending from the port at Hailey- bury continues good, according to D. F. McDonald, Dominion Skyways pilot, who has operated from the local airport for the past year. A couple of trips on the average are made daily be- tween here andthe Mud Lake \gold area, with thesodd flight to other points, and both freight and passengers are being carried. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. McDonald flew to Rouyn to meet Col. McFarlane, a well known flyer himself, and a party of mining men. the Long Lac area and had flown out to the Quebec town. They {came to Haileybury to catch a train for the south on Tuesday night. On Friday last the port was visited by a party of photograph- ers from the Royal Canadian Air Ferce, headed by Flying Officer Bennett and Pilot Sergeant Doan. They were on their way Long Lac area to do some map- ping from the air. There were five in the party, with two ma- chines and they made only a very short stay here. Coldest September Night Here for Many Years Past Tuesday, September 29th, with a minimum temperature of 28.6 degrees, was the coldest for a September night recorded since the weather station was re-es- tablished, according to Jas. Rea- vell. The average temperature for the month was 56 degrees, compared to the average since 1894, which is 53.7.

Two Dozen Sheep Killed by Bear on Firtsbrook Farm Alfred Seed, Firstbrook town- ship farmer, reports this week that 24 of his sheep have been killed by a bear during recent weeks. _ He has only been able to catch a glimpse of the animal the is once. he states, but from tracks it appears that there only one. While the sheep have been kept closed up at nights, There was a young lady named Perkins, Who had a great fondness for gherkins, She went to a tea And ate twenty-three Which pickled her internal wor- kin's.

One ble on the part of one of the Hail-| of his reasons for leaving was eybury players, the Miners drop- ped on the ball for a try, leaving the score 8-1. | The teams were very evenly matched,,with Haileybury the \lighter and faster. The local lads {elected twice to try for field goals but the first effort went for a |single point to the dead line, and |the other was misdirected and} | was run out by the Cobalters. The day was ideal for football and a fair crowd saw the game. It is hoped that a goodly number will be on hand to encourage the Liskeard Seniors here on Satur- day afternoon.

Diligent hunt- ing on the part of Mr. Seed has failed to get him within gunshot of the marauder. On the one oc- casion when he saw the bear it was at too great a distance for a shot. i Hold Teachers' Convention October 8 and 9 in Cobalt The annual convention of the South Temiskaming Teachers' Institute will be held this year on Thursday and Friday, October 8th and 9th, when the pupils of the various public and separate schools in the district will be giv- en a much appreciated holiday, while their mentors meet to dis- cuss various phases of their pro- fession.
