You don‘t buy a house every day | « +« 80 protect the one you have _] against the necessity of having _ | to pay for it all over again in fmd' uction, and (4) upon the people who inally pay the cost of fire. _ Relief from the crushing burden imposed It should hardly be necessary to point out that every fire is an economic loss regardiess of the fact that the property may be insured. Somebody pays for it and that somebody is you and I. Fire waste, while always local in inception, is national in its effect. It d:ro- duces four main effects as follows: (1) Upon our natural resources by the destruction‘ of buildini materials; (2) upon commercial credit by the impairment of security; (8) upon i{l_dusttial progress by its handicap on These figures are appalling, particularly when we consider that easily 80%â€"or perâ€" haps more nearly 90%â€"of this loss could have been avoided by greater care and thoughtfulness in our daily lives. Statistics show that we continue to have fires year after year from the same causes and approxiâ€" mately the same number of fires from the various causes. In other words, our attitude tov;v’rd flre is not showing any improvement. Further statistics published by the Doâ€" aninion Fire Commissioner show that in 1943 Canada‘s losses by fire amounted to $31,464,â€" 710 (not including nearly $5,000,000 losses in National Defence properties). The number of lives lost last year by fire was 310, of which 149 were children. Once again by Royal Proclamation the week of October 8â€"14 has been set aside as Fire Prevention Week for the purpose of drawing our attention to the needless waste of human lives and property caused by fire. The proclamation states that during the past ten years four hundred and seventy thousand fires have destroyed Canadian property to the extent of more than two hundred and sixtyâ€"four million dollars and that during the same period two thousand eight hundred and sixtyâ€"nine persons have lost their lives through fire and it is estimated that at least ten thousand others have been seriously inâ€" jured as the result of fire. Will the public generally use all the freeâ€" dom regained to the best advantage? This is the question that worries some today but only a few. It should be a very humble people that should be ready to treasure their freedom. After what has gone by in the past five years, after what we are going to pass through during the next few weeks as we march into Germany should make us treasure freedom as it has never been treasured beâ€" fore. This is the attitude that should be cultivated. Everyone should be impressed with the necessity of holding securely the freedom as it comes back to each with the lessening of the present restrictions. Do not let feelings run riot or cause an abuse of the freedoms given. With sane actions preserve these freedoms and use them for the advanceâ€" ment and best interest of your fellow men. Fire Prevention Week Youar Home Is Your Castleâ€"Protect It During the past week electric signs, store window lights and theatre fronts have been glowing with the bright lights. It was a treat to see the window displays, to note the electric signs lit and to.see the bright theatre fronts. This is a sign of the times. Restricâ€" tions will gradually loosen. A return to the former freedom is in view. How it is anticipated ? LIGHTS ON, CHEER UP Political and Election advertising (local), 50c per inch.

BAM WILSON, Editor and Publisher JEAN PERKS, Asst. News Editor. MONSTER BINGO FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13th All in all, it‘s time for every Canadian to wake up to the senseless waste of life and property which fires entail, to the vital imâ€" portance of fighting fires before they start. A vigorous campaign against fire should be begun right in our homes by a periodic checkâ€" up on stoves and furnaces, wiring, electric cords, outlets and equipment, and on gas pipes and appliances, as these ordinarily are danger zones. $1600 In Prizes â€" 1 Game $500 More than one hundred and fifty lives were snuffed out in one recent holocaustâ€"and many of those who died were pitifully young, much too young to be sacrificed because of what now appears to have been an inadvisâ€" able and inexcusable use of inflammable maâ€" terials. And, in another headlineâ€"making fire, those who died were trapped in a buildâ€" ing admittedly unsuitable for the gala gathâ€" ering at which this tragedy occurred. To blame such a fire solely on a pyromaniac really is both cowardly and stupid because that shifts responsibility from the owners of the building, and also from the municipal authoritiese charged with checking safety precautions in all places rented for entertainâ€" ment purposes. _ Pretty horrifying are those fires which make the headlines in the daily papers or cut~ in on radio programsâ€"but are they horrifyâ€" ing enough to jolt us out of our smug comâ€" placency ? Apparently: not, so long as any number of people still are inclined to accept devastating fires as inevitable, think of them as "acts of God", losing sight altogether of the fact that the great majority of fires actually are made by man, whether indirectly or directly. â€" The closing down of factories as part of the celebration has been suggested. There is no reason why that should not be carried into effect, but the freedom for the day should be used with an appreciation of the meaning of the celebration and not in raucous and riotous behavior. The closing of beverage rooms has also been mooted, and the suggestion has some reason.â€"Toronto Telegram. It‘s Time To Wake Up! Nor is the collapse of Germany the end of the war. It will be the close of one phase only ; the defeat of Japan has yet to be acâ€" complished. There will be many months through which our m&n of the Navy and Air Force and some of the Army will be exposed to the dangers of war. . â€" One thing that should temper our jubilaâ€" tion is thought for the sorrow of those whose sons and husbands can never return. Everyâ€" where are homes that have been blighted by the baleful touch of war, In the smafler comâ€" munities where everyone is known to everyâ€" one else, this is obvious. From this house went out a lad who died at Dieppe, from that other one who fell at Caen, and over yonder is a home being prepared for a young man who is returning sightless from his experiâ€" ences of war. In the smaller places it is posâ€" sible in almost any street to point out to the stranger homes that have iaid the price of war and it is just as true, though not so obâ€" vious, in our great cities. Two minutes‘ silence would be more approâ€" priate than a day‘s noise and revelry in celeâ€" bration of the end of the conflict in Europe. _ Reasonable hopes of the close collapse of Germany have set on foot projects for celeâ€" brating the end of the war in Europe. Elation among those whose kith and kin are on the Continent will run high when the great moâ€" ment comes, and there will be a wonderful relief for many after the strain of years. But it is to be hoped that there will be none of riotous mafeking which marked the Armisâ€" tice Day of 1918. The day should be one of sober thanksgiving, and it would be more apâ€" propriate to celebrate it in the churches than on the streets. * Price at Which Victory is Gained Should Temper Celebrations by our enormous b!:n loss can Be obtained it (1) hmdhpundwm'im tobacco and matches, (2) in “‘“fi smoke» pipes and ehimney:.fmuntb and in seeing that heating equipment is at a safe distance from combustible material, (3) in not using dangerous flammable liquids for home dryâ€" cleaning or for rekindling fires, (4) in not overloading electrical wirm{oand in not makâ€" ing "amateur" extensions to their electrlu” systems, and (5) in guarding against the duifi.n of fire in every way. week every Canadian citizen will be exhorted by the press, by speakers over the radio, by movies and by other means to use every care with fire, not only during Fire Prevention Week but every week in the year. Let him take this advice to heart so that the needless tragedies of the past may be avoided and that Canada in the postâ€"war era may emerge as a country safe from fire. 50 Door Prizesâ€"Orders on Loblaw Groceterias 8.30 P.M. Sharp Seats (All Reserved) 50câ€"Boxes and Rails 75¢ Kinsmen Club of Toronto â€" Charities MAPLE LEAF GARDENS Information On Sale At 20 GAMES During the morning service we were reminded by the minister of some of the things for which we can be grateful. Ingratitude is one of the memnest of sins, and the cause of all bitterness, hatreds and misunderstandings. It too was resâ€" ponsible for the idohtri of the ‘pag-n world, for, "when they knew God they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful." At the evening service we were given a description of a heavenly Thanks-‘ giving, where the Lamb in the midst of the throne is receiving the grateful ascriptions of the heavenâ€" ly host and a redeemed universe. All discords are removed, and all are brought into universal harmony and peace. How we long for that day to come, where sin and sorrow shall be no more, and God Himsel{ shall wifle away all tears from our eyes. Then we shall see the great purpose of redeeming love comâ€" pleted, and the exhortation, "Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness; and for His wonâ€" derful works to the children of men" no longer be necessary, for all shall praise Him from the least unto the greatest of them. But while we are waiting for that glad| day to come, we were glad for the| opportunity _ of expressing our thanks for His goodness and lovâ€" ing kindness to us, to sing His praises and to hear His word. Surely it would be base ingratitude not to acknowledge the Giver of "Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee." Thus wrote the ancient Psaimist as he thoufilt of God‘s goodness to him and His manifold blessings. The same words were used in the Weston Baptist church to express our gratitude and thanksgiving at the annual Thanksâ€" giving service, In a beautiful setâ€" ting of flowers, fruit and vegeâ€" ubfeu. placed on ahd around the platform, the church provided very readily a suitable :tmo;fhero in which to thank God for His goodâ€" ness and for His wonderful love to the children of men. With the Psalmist we too could uÂ¥. "O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mer? endureth for ever." The outstanding feature of the services was the music and the singing. Assisted by two choirs, junior and senior, and under the capable leadership of Mrs, Swan at the organ, it was easy to sing the great t%unksgiving hymns, such as, "We plough the fields and scatter; Now thank we all our God; When all Thy Mercies O My God; O God of Bethel by Whose Hand; and Come, Ye Thankful People, Come." Several individual numbers were sung by each choir and two solos, one sung bjr Mrs. Moore in the morning, and one by Samuel Birch, our boy soloist, at night, were also greatly appreciated.

Westmount Gospel In our appreciation of "The Treasury of David" we come this week to the one hundred and fortyâ€" fifth Psalm. So magnificent is it that to this day in the Hebrew synagogue it is recited twice in the morning service and once in the evening. Surely it is not too much to ask, then, that all who are readâ€" ing this column should study it beâ€" fore Sunday, It is an encouraging indication of healthier religious life in our land that our churches were so well filled on Sunday. "Holiday weekâ€" ends" are usually invitations to halfâ€"empty churches, but this Thanksgiving was a happy excepâ€" tion. Cfioir and congregation were in the mood to "sing to the Lord with cheerful voice", as Old Hunâ€" dred puts it; we came before Him to refi)ice, His praise to forthtell, not only for abundant harvests and the beauty of colourful Nature, but for the abundant life through Christ in which"all things find meaning and purpose. f There was a splendid turnout at the Thanksgiving service held at Harding avenue church last Sunâ€" day night. The happy fellowship and the feling that the Lord is working in our midst is being felt by all. The pllgini of Mrs. King at the orgnn and Miss Hook at the piano and our soloist, Mrs. Wilson, was very much appreciated and we look forward to a splendid musical program each Sunday night.
