PAGE TWO FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Last week a special effort was made throughout Ontario to imâ€" press upon the people the importance of using every precaution to re- duce fire losses. Money that goes up in smoke is a direct loss to the country, whether paid by an insurance company or the individual. Competition among insurance companies and their eagerness to procure risks, may be chargeable with the indifference which exists in the minds ,of many property owners. With their interests protected, they believe they are not specially concerned whether their properties burn or not, claiming, with some truth, that the Insurance Companies are amassing enormous sums and can well afford to pay. The compâ€" anies must of necessity have large amounts available, as they cannot tell what the demands of a day may bring forth. On the other hand if more care was exercised and there were fewer fires, there would be less excuse for accumulating large reserves and fire premiums could men. A booklet issued from the Department of Attorney-General Price contains the information that every person in Ontario contributed $4.00 last year to fire losses, which totalled $12,482,993 during 1926. With a return of cold weather, when the losses are said to be thirteen per cent. higher than in the warm months, chimneys, stoves and furnaces should be thoroughly cleaned; all rubbish removed from attics, cellars, basements, yards and out buildings, in fact all premises “should be put ship-shape as preventive measures against fire and for the sake of the health of your family and yourself. Fire Brigades in this district are giving excellent service, but can. not prevent fires; they can, and often do prevent them from doing much damage. A clean-up around your home may save it from being next. I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestrâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive ot unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peacen- amongst more care was ex less excuse for be reduced. The great plowing demonstration held in York County lastweek demonstrated that double plows and tractor plows to some extent deâ€" stroyed the picturesque conception of the plowman which inspired the poet when he wrote, “The plowman homeward plods his weary way.” The plowman with his three or four-horse team and twoâ€"furrow riding plow is not so well adapted to inspire the poet as is the man beâ€" tween the handlebars of a single-furrow plow; and the man on the tractor amid a setting of levers, wheels and gas fumes is a practical impossibility from a poet’s point of view. But he gets more done, and we can get along without the poetry if summer cultivation is speeded up and the fall plowing is finished at the rght time. As We watched the operations at the plowing match this thought intruded itself: Will farmers continue to be the plowmen“ of the poet’s’ conception or will the tractor, inside of another ten years, become an implement found on practiCally every farm? The rush of work, the need of cultivation, the difficulty of plowing alfalfa sod, and the uni_ versal complaint of being one lap behind with the work all summer, combine to emphasize the need of some other system. It may be that the tractor and large implements, more than the automobile, will be the means of keeping agriculture in step with the world. It is perhaps perfectly right that there should be public discussion regarding the character and qualifications for citizenship of new settâ€" Iers who are coming to Canada. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon this phase of the immigration problem, but it would be a regrettâ€" able matter if it became a subject of sectarian and religious controv. ersy. Undoubtedly Canada desides a predominating percentage of English-speaking immigrants, but it is hardly possible to apply tests to the religious beliefs and manner of worship of those who are otherwise qualified for citizenship in Canada. The British Empire has always boasted of its broad and tolerant attitude in regard to all races and cre‘eds within its bounds, and if Canada is to become a great nation, its citizenship must be based upon the same tolerant principle. It is appalling to read of the great number of auto aceidents. It would be interesting to know of the thousand and one narrow escapes from serious accidents in this district. If these figures were procur- able the wonder would be that more people are not killed. While there are unquestionably times when the motorists are solely to blame, there are numberless times when pedestrians must accept the responsibility. Caution, care and common sense cannot be exercised at intervals; they should predominate at all times. That was a gracious act of Rt. Hon. W.L. M. King in being among the first to hasten his congratulations to Rt. Hon. R.B. Bennett, the new Conservative Chieftain. Huntley Women’s Institute warns us that groundhogs are increas_ ing. Quite true, but the increase is nothing as compared to that of the roadhog who, if he has a couple of glaring headlights, is the meanest kind of a hog Everybody will learn to fly sooner or later is the prediction of an applicant for a. pilot’s license. Yes, but some of us will make but one flightâ€"to the world beyond. AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD. J.

This is not because men hate progress, but rather because they do not want to exert their minds to think. We are always trying to avoid new thoughts. Every good thing has been condemn- ed in its day and generation by those who did not wish to make the effort to understand its meaning. When railroads were first intro- duced, many said it would ruin the farmers because the demand for horses would be killed. To-day, every- one will admit that the railroads have benefited humanity immeasurably.

It was finally landed in England, and this no doubt contributed’very greatly ' to the present good habit of the Eng- lishman in eating so much roast beef. The arguments against meat eating that you hear to-day are rem- nants of the same reasoning used at that time--that flesh food spoiled soon - after it was killed and became poison- ‘ ous if kept too long. Those who have dared to investigate have found that ' properly killed steer meat is made more wholesome if refrigerated for several months.” The false economy which has been preached for so many years with its resultant high rates is proof that the old fashioned ideas which are conâ€" stantly being kindled by loud protests of ruination and wastefullness is only caused by lack of knowledge of the fundamental’s of Political Economy and if one or two of our “Crepe hang- ing” citizens would spend an hour or two with some of the publications of Adam Smith, they would not impede the path of progress afterwards.
