200 Chiliren Die In Fires Each Year

Proper precautions against fire could
avoid many of the 60,000 fires that break
out in Canada each year, aécording to the
All Canada Insurance Federation.

Officials of the Federation, which re-
Presents more than 250 fire automobile and
casualty insurance companies, report that
some 200 children die in fires each year.
Property damage costs Canadians nearly $100
million.

Because of the increased use of heaters,

fireplaces and stoves during fall and winter-

months, the Federation makes the following
Suggestions for greater safety: .
1) | Matches and cigarettes are a major
cause of fire; make sure they are not left
burning. :
2) Do not smoke in bed. :
3) Be sure that ash trays readily

available in every room."
4)
fore winter sets in. ‘ay

5) Electrical repairs and “extentions

should be done by qualified experts.

Have electrical wiring ,checked be-

6) Chimneys and heating equi at
should be cleaned and checked at least once
“a year. on
7) Clear old magazines, rags and other
inflammable objects. from.attic and base-
ment. oA

8) If your’ house is an old one, be

doubly sure that all heating and electricat
equipment is safe, :

9) Keep small children away from

stoves and heating equipment.

10) Use only clean, first quality fuel
for heaters and furnaces.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

At this time of the year various chur-
‘ches begin their Christian Education program
for the ensueing schoo! year.

We spend much, and rightly so, in order
that our children may have the best possible
secular education. We provide them with
tadequate buildings, classrooms, libraries,
and with capable teachers. No doubt our Bri-
tish Columbia educational system is second to
none and its graduates are well qualified to
make a'living, but are they qualified to live
a life? This question is intended to cast-no
.feflection on our ‘educational system. To have
life and to live it in its fullest sense requires
a Chritian faith and a Christian philosophy
of life. Public education does’ not necessarily
Produce either, though it moy, arid should,
undergird both. .

The responsibility for Christian educ-
ation lies largely elsewhere. Where? First, up-

On parents in the home, and secondly upon

the Church. ‘Christian education, must begin...

in the home. In the Scriptures religious educ-
ation centers in the family, The Bible stres-
ses the centrality of the family in God's deal-
ings with man. In the light of this, and of the
discoveries of modern psychology with regard
to the great importance of an atmosphere
of love and of proper family relationship in
the home for the permanent moulding of a

years old, parents have done more than half
of all they will ever do by way of influence
for good or evil. *
