THE FIRES YOU TEMEMBER Were you ever in a burning house? you possibly forget it? Even though the fire may have been put out before it did much damage, you remember the exeitement and fear. If you were old enough to realize the danger, you will never again care to pass through such a terrible experience. You never have been in a burning house, do you say? That is fortunate, but at least you have seen fires and can plainly recall the clouds of smoke and the fierce crackle of the flames as they spread and destroyed everything within reach, You may have © noticed the people who escaped. Do you rem- ember their grief as they saw their homes and comforts, their clothing, furniture and their treasures that they had been gathering for so many years, sucdenly swept away? It is to be hoped that you have never seen a fire in which people have lost their lives or have been badly injured - but these too often occur, They happen without warning at points where they are least expected. People who have been going about their daily tasks without a thought of danger may suddenly find their escape cut off by flames that have been caused by somebody's carelessness. In order that such a terrible thing may. never happen through our carelessness, let us try to learn some things about fire, and especially about the ways in which it may be kept from becoming dangerous. Look at the itecord, "Mother and Four Children Die in Bromp- ton Home" "Four Brothers 15 = 14 - 11 and 6 Die In Log Home Fire at Salmon Arm, B.C," "Four Die in Montreal Fire" "Three Sisters Die in Fire at Ripples, N.B. wt These are only a few of the fires rep- orted where persons have lost their lives violently all over Canada. During the month of February there were 22 children and §& adults burned to death, Let's learn qa less- on and try to prevent fires everywhere, We can if we try. Remember, fires do take lives.
