Irvine McKay, President of the Elk Lake Branch, welcomed the and introduced Zone Commander S. M. Daley, of Hail- eybury, who conducted the meet- ing. During the review of the min- utes of the previous meeting it was noted that a resolution urg- ing the institution of a veterans' preference at Provincial level has resulted in the formation of a Pro- vincial committee to study the situation. It was felt that a dis- eussion at the Spring meeting, con- cerning the possibility of a tech- nical school in Temiskaming was' a contributing factor to the estab- lishment of such a school in Hail- eybury. The names of the Zone Execu- tive were announced as follows: Deputy Commander, also Zone Membership Chairman, L. Riopel, Temagami; Zone Service Bureau Chairman, J. C. Elliott, Temag- ami; Zone Sports, Walter Hurst, Haileybury, and Zone Public Re- Jations, J. J.

Holiday sports, and Englehart for the Guard of Honor provided for the recent -visit of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontar- io. The delegates were reminded of the slogan relative to the District Convention in October: "See you in Hearst on the twenty-first". Temagami. was selected as the|. location of the Spring Zone meet- ing. Following the meeting, a so-. cial evening, arranged by the Host Branch, was thoroughly enjoyed. cooperation with Fire Chief Harry Cooper. "When you consider that more than 11,000 persons die each year as the result of fires, and that one-third of them are children,'"' said--Chief Cooper, "you. see why we want to, give our youngsters real respect for fire's terrible threat and encourage them to check their homes for safety with Mom or Dad."' Each child will get a home fire inspection report, drawn up by the Hartford Fire Insurance Com-| pany, national sponsors of the pro- gram. Listing 17 safety checks, the re- port is included in the Fall issue of the Junior Fire Marshal mag- azine, to be distributed at schools on October 10. Parents are asked to sign a. Certificate of Merit in the magazine to show that the child and a grown-up member of the family have truly checked the home. "Tt is important that both child- ren and adults learn the lessons of home safety and emergency exit procedures," said Mr. Todd. "That's why the Certificate of Mer- it includes an emergency proced- ure sign and is designed to be cut out and hung up at home as a-year-round safety reminder." A youngster qualifies as a Jun- ior Fire Marshal when he brings a signed Certificate to school and his name is posted on a special honor roll in each class. The school, or classroom, with thee. highest percentage of completed. home inspection reports will be awarded a blue and gold-colored silk achievement award banner. "Thirty million boys and girls have participated in the 14-year- old Junior Fire Marshal program,"' Mr. Todd explained. As part of this public service program, Mr. Todd said, the Hart- ford Fire Insurance Company is also distributing a new 36-page, Teaching Manual to the nation's elementary schools. With it, teach- ers will be able to work fire pre- vention lessons into established areas of the curriculum, such as history, English and science.
