On Monday afternoon October 4th school children of the Townsite witnessed special fire prevention films and heard brief talks related to fire prevention. On Tuesday afternoon in the Recreation Hall more than 65 Supervisors as well as some Townsite residents witnessed an excellent film "The Chemistry of Fire" which was followed by an address by G. E. Mortenson who was introduced by Fire Chief George Maitland. Mr. Mortenson is from the Land and Insurance Department of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Neenah, Wisonesin. The Recreation Hall meeting was followed by practical demonstrations of fire fighting equipment which were staged at the ball field. Following regular moving picture shows on Monday and Tuesday evenings, the picturé "The Chemistry of Fire't was shown so that everyone throughout the project might appreciate just what causes fires. Throughout the entire week a window display at the HudsorsBay Store told the story of fire fighting ' equipment and gave many interesting facts related to fire losses. We would like to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. L. A. Martin of Hudson Bay Company and members of his staff who assisted Fire Chief George Maitland in setting up the window, also the Hudson's Bay Company for the use of the window. Although Fire Prevention Week is over for this year, it should be remembered by all that the threat of fire remains with us throughout every weck of the year and we should all do our part every day of every week to prevent fire from taking its toll at Terrace hy. 0-0-0 HOCKEY RUMBLINGS Now that the National Hockey League has opened its 148-'49 season officially, hockey enthusiasts around Terrace Bey are beginning to think and talk about the local hockey situation and before long a general meeting will no doubt be held to "talk things over".

Contest winners. 0-0-0 SIMPLE Just because simple hand tools don't make a lot of noise and throw a lot of mechanical and electrical power around like the big machines do, that's no sign they can't cause accidents - some serious ones, too. j But it's 'also true that such accidents can be prevented by a few simple rules - like these: 1. Never use a hard-faced hammer on a highly tempered tool, such as a drill, . file, die, jig, etc. Chips may fly.e. 2, Use only wrenches that are the right size for the particular job... 3. Keep chisels, knives, axes and all such cutting tools sharp... 4, Don't use a tool with a broken cr splintered handle or a loose partee. 5, Don't use a file without a handle... 6, Wear goggles when using tools that may produce flying pieces, 0-0-0 'Last year, according to the National Sefety Council, home accidents brought death to 33,500 people and disabling injuries to 5,000,000.
