Not the fire, but Fired- If there‘s any piece of advice Vaughan Fire Chief Jim Davidson has for the public on fire prevention week it‘s this: Wags Nowadays there’s so many plastic products that give off either phosgene, hydrochloric or hydrocyanic gas. When warned of fire, get out of the building you‘re in. 'Thesé gasés can be deadly. ' ‘ Actually, for the Vaughan fire depart- ment, fire prevention starts Jan. 1 and runs all year. It’s a 52-week-a- year effort. One of the new things Vaughan fire fighters are doing on their house and building inspections is to show people how to install fuse socket inserts. These make it im- possible to screw in a fuse that is too heavy. Thus it is impossible to have a fire started by an overloaded electrical circuit. This safety device is a simple color-coded plastic collar which screws into the fuse socket. The various fuses have different size tips. The collar allows insertion of only fuses that have the maximum amperage of the circuit, or less. Any new home now must have a smoke detector, a warning device set off by products of combustion in the air. “During our in- spections we suggest people get them for older Hum FOI' ALL Occasions CENTRE 884-1812 Phone 889-1812 Rice's Flowers RICHMOND HEIGHTS 6/47 4mg} COIFFURE Miss Rene Er Pat announce the opening of Chez Rene Coiffure at 6’A’ Levendale Road.

If they have a kitchen extinguisher. the in- spectors give a training explanation on its proper use. The fire prevention inspection program is paying off. says David- son. The department still has a lot of minor calls. but a few of any con- sequence nowadays. Feople like to Have the fire inspectors call. So far this year 129 calls resulted in no one being home when fire fighters called. All but nine of them have called later and asked the inspectors to come again. To the end of August. the department inspected 1,297 homes and 832 in- dustrial-commercial buildings. Get out of a building when there’s a fire war- ning. Don’t wait around. So many common containers, including wrappers. garbage bags, cups, etc. are made of plastics that give off deadly gases when burnt. Even mouldings and trim in the walls of new building are plastic. Here Vaughan Fire Chief Jim Davidson demonstrates a collection of flammable plastic household items, including the burning cup in his hand. Firei fighters were refused admission at only two homes. “Actually we have Utopia today in fire prevention,“ says the Vaughan chief. The Royal Bank of Canada announces the appoint- ment of Mr. John Smith as Manager of its Rich mond Hill Branch, Ontario. Mr. Smith is replacing Mr. J.P. Lawrence who has been transferred to our Woodstock Branch, Ontario. Mr. Smith joined the Bank in 1962 and has since held various positions throughout Metropolitan Toronto. ROYAL BANK APPOINTMENT says Chief MR. J.S. SMITH He points to such devices as smoke detectors. sprinklers which bring early war- ning and fire suppression. “I take umbrage with statistical people who always measure things in fire losses rather than in the amount saved. People can get out. There should be no loss of life and little damage if everything works right. “That's negative thinking. I don't sub- scribe to it. It has always been one of my pet peeves. “They should calculate cost per assessment and not per capita,” says the Vaughan chief. This calculation method is particularly important for the Vaughan department which works in a town with a very high in- dustrial assessment but low population. One way makes the department look bad in relation to most other departments, the other way truly reflects the Vaughan department‘s degree of work success. iArea principals to spend 8 daysinlLondon When David Duchesne. principal of Regency Acres Public School in Aurora. journeys to London.
