‘Americans Show Castlegar How

A few moments spent in observation of the traffic driving
through Columbia Avenue, shows that American motorists observe
highway regulations better than Castlegar District motorists a at
least as far as jh are

B. C. motorists, most of them district residents, seem to’ “pay
little attention to the “Stop When Occupied” signs for the most part.
Whether there is a pedestrian trying to cross the highway at that
point or not, these drivers keep rolling on‘as if they had the right
of way.

Not so with cars bearing U. S. licence plates however. Most of
their drivers have probably never seen Castlegar before, Yet they

have no trouble seeing the “Stop When Occupied” signs as district 1

motorists seem to have, and always observe them. The’ pedestrian
who hesitates to cross since he knows that cars have not stopped
for him before, is waved on by the visiting. drivers, to cross ahead
of them.

Perhaps our local motorists don't know the law regarding
pedestrian crossings, despite the fact that the signs at each crossing
Jane tell it to, them in the terse, ion.“Stop When O ied”.

The Highway Act of the’ Province’ of British Columbia, in its
“Regulations Pursuant to the Highway Act Respecting Regulation
of Traffic’, contains more words but doesn’t say much beyond em-

Invest A Few Minutes For Safety

This is fire prevention week across Canada and the United
States. In view of the appalling property loss by fire each year, and
the fact that the overwhelming majority of. these fires could have
been by of the that caused them,
a few minutes spent in a careful check for and elimination of the
hazards that can’ spell property loss, financial ruin and tragedy
around our homes, is a’most worthy investment we all can afford. -

The All-Canada Insurance Federation offers‘a list of rules that

every person would be well advised to observe when checking up ;

on hazards around the house, yard, or place of business.
‘They are:
1. Lightning protection systems should be of an approved make,
and checked at Jeast once a year.
2. Wire fences attached to buildings should be properly ground-
ed. .
4 3. Radio antennas should also be properly grounded.
4, Electric wiring should have regular inspection by’ experts
particularly when new machinery or motors are added to the load.
5. Electric wires must never be strung over nails, through doors
in any exposed place.
2 “Gasoline, 7 and other ive liquids should be
stored in well-marked safety cans.
7. Stoves, furnaces, chimneys and pipes should be inspected and
cleaned at least once’a year.:
, 8, Smoke pipes passing through walls or partitions, should be
‘guarded by metal thimbles.
9. Fireplaces should have metal screens in front of them and
kerosene ig never to be used to start or quicken fires.
10. Portable oil heaters should be of approved makes. Fill them
from safety cans with pour spouts attached. Never leave heaters
joing all night,
& i oe grass and weeds cut short around buildings.
12, Never store damp hay in loft. Be sure lofts are ventilated.
13, Approved’ fire extinguishers should be placed wherever
there are fire hazards. fe
We might also add:
14. Trash, garbage and other refuse should be placed in proper

- containers: for removal to the city dump, not -scattered ‘in alley

ways or littered about back yards.
