Congratulations are due to the leaders and coaches and all concerned whose co-operative efforts resulted in the tremendous success of the league and the final banquet. Fires Fire of unknown origin destroyed the home of Mrs. Pauline Staats, R. 6 Hagersville, on the Six Nations Reserve, on Saturday night. It is believed no one was at home at the time of the outbreak. Hagersville Fire Brigade answered the alarm. A regulator station of the Petrol Oil and Gas Company of Ohsweken was destroyed by fire on Saturday night. The station is located on the River Road. The residents of Onondaga were without natural gas service for several hours as a result. Damage was estimated at $2,000 to the building, equipment and loss of gas. The possibility of arson is not being ruled out in the investigation. The local fire department was not called out. How fires start An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - especially where fire safety is concerned. A survey of fire claims in South Western Ontario reveals these fire causes: 1. Careless smoking - 31% 2. Kitchen fires - 29% 3. Faulty appliance wiring 18% 4. Children's actions - 7% 5. Faulty furnaces - 6% 6. Miscellaneous - 9% Half the kitchen fires started when food or cooking fat caught fire on the stove, the other half when hot utensils were placed on countertops. (continued on page 3)
