Monday, October 27, will see the AOTS Club out'in full force in @ canvass for the Kinnaird-Robson-Castlegar Recreational’ and Welfare Society —- KRC to most district residents who know of its work — and they hope that you will be generous. The KRC is the collection agency for lo- cal, provincial and national appeals and is now a member of the United Funds Associa- tion. When you make a donation to this or- ganization you know that your money is going to be handled in a business-like manner and that it will be distributed to many worthy causes, "Your membership also eliminates many canvasses throughout the year and if @ person does call at your home appealing Just about now, there is a movement on foot involving firearms. Happy bands of men are setting forth laden with lethal weapons that range from great grandpa’s musket to the latest 1958. model. A large number of these Nimrods will return with the smile of success; others slightly the worse for wear and minus o trophy, and temporarily brown- ed off: And some will never return. A few, more fortunate, will return when discharged from hospital, 5 Every year, during the hunting season, there is a toll that is quite unnecessary. Every year, people die, usually through the criminal carelessness of those who do not keep in mind that the firearms they carry Don't Gamble With Fire Canada keeps on learning her Fire Pre- vention lessons “the hard way’. Each year, considerable time and money is expended in making certain that all Canadians are given an opportunity to learn the lessons of Fire Prevention. Each year, more people are reach- ed with these messages and each year Fire Prevention Week is considered to be ‘more ef- . fective than that of the previous year. It always helps, however, to look back and compare results whenever one is charged with assessing the success or failure of a Program such as Fire Prevention Week. Here are just a few of the figures that stand out when qne does look back and com- Pore the Fire losses of 1956 with those for 1957: Property: 1956 - $115,394,063. 1957 - $134,796,828, Life: 1956 - 601. 1957 - 640 No. of Fires: 1956 - 83,158. 1957 - 84,307. These 1957 figures certainly haven‘t im- proved over those of 1956, they are worse; and yet the 1957 Fire ‘Provention Week cam- Paign was considered to have been more suc- cessful than that of 1956, Over 90 per cent of all fires are caused by human carelessness! People know the rules and yet persist in “‘cutting ‘corners’ with the almost inevitable and all too tragic result. It doesn’t matter how wide awake you think you are, the habit of smoking in bed will, sooner or later, result in a fire! No mat- for donations for some cause, all you have to do is refer them to the KRC. If their ap- peal is a worthy one, they will get their money there. We urge you to give your donation ser- ious consideration right now and be ready when the canvassers call at your door. Re- member — they are not calling for them- selves but on behalf of every known worthy cause, and here are q few of them: Red Cross, LOOKING THANKYOU By E.G.0. Every once in a while people vestore my faith in people, Re- cently under a Hollywood date Mne there appeared a news item to the effect the world’s first automation marriage had taken place in that weird and wonder- ful city. | The ‘cupid’, in the plece was a large electronic ‘brain’, known as the Universal automatic caleu- lator or UNIVAC, Assistants to this mechanized match maker were the promotors of a TV show ‘People are Funny’. Theoretically at least, the idea of automative matching was (is?) a good one, for theoretical- ly, all one needs to do Is to match the qualifications and require. ments of a man and woman and Handicapped, St. John Ambulance, Air Ca- dets, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Cubs, Library, | ore, would take a great deal of Recreation and many, many more. uF Have your donation ready when the|an impossible time. But if all the Canvasser calls next week. Be Sure Before You Shoot one will have an ideal couple. To do this matching ‘by hand’ as it time, actually for a thorough job, personality, likes, dislikes, edu- cation and a thousand other de tails of a number of people are typed on special cards, and the cards are fed to an automatic calculating machine like Univac, the machine will sift through the are lethal and that everything that moves] mess of detail in a matter of min- in the bush is not a deer, moose or bear, [t utes and present its operators with the names of the best sult- isn’t considered criminal if you were so con- ed couple, complete with phone “fused by your buddy's resemblance to a deer; number. that you shot him.

In other words, people‘ are still people, and in spite of high paced psy- chologists and their mechanistic theories on the manipulation of human beings by placing them under the correct psychological conditions and stimulil, people remain unpredictable. Human courtship and mar- riage are a great deal more com- plex than many of these public manipulators of public thought and action believe. They have been remarkably unsuccessful in persuading people with buying what they don't want with money they don't have, but this attempt to extend automation and mech- anlstic psychology to the field of human mating has got a well- deserved black cye. I certainly favour some form of bureau, “My Life Insurance man did a grand job for me, Ed” Atl talk over the back fence isn't about sport, or politics, or tcle- vision programs. Very often it’s about such vital things as looking after the family and having enough moncy to retire on. Your life insurance man is well equipped to solve these problems, ‘He is trained to analyse all the facts about a family’s future require- ments, He serves Canadian families by offering practical plans to mect individual“needs. government operated or super- vised, for there are many people who wish to marry, but under our present hit and miss system are unable to meet a suitable mate, The thought, however, of Life i have training ‘i ties today, Their own companies provide them with basic courses covering a wide variety of subjects. . « Through the Life Underwriters Association of Canada they have access to the experience of many able men who have helped to make Canadians the world’s best-ii d people, This i hasa 2-year training program for its members.

Or is it a case only, of the unpredictable fem- inine? If so, thank heaven for it.

BEST IN THE GREAT NORTHWEST A regular Workshop meet+ ing of the Kinnaird Little Theatre was held last Monday at home of Mrs,, A. Johnson in Kinnaird, In the form of their! second Play sreading session, Mrs. G. Sommerfield was in charge of the program for the evening which consisted of the reading of two plays, Both plays were oneacts and admirably suitable for Play-reading pur- poses, The first play “A Minuet"" was a play in ‘verse and might well be termed a romance of the Revolution, with the setting of the play at the time of the “Reign Of error". The cast Kinnaird Little Theatre Holds A Work Session uals, who have been engaged to each other for all of fifteen years. In the ensuing melee, she is fir- ed by her shopkeeper ‘for giving expensive orchids away in her role as “Cupid”. However every- thing works out when the couple announce their wedding and or- der their flowers from the “Flor- ist Shop". Maude is immediately rehired and all is well, Following the reading of the two plays, a discussion took place at which it was generally felt that neither of the plays was suitable as Festival entries as one was difficult to stage as far as setting and costumes was con- cerned, The other was considered of two men and one women. The story followed along the lines of the terror of the times, but was quite different in the sense that despite the impending doom of a great Marquis and his March- joness, a great deal of romance is interwoven into the story to to. be ‘y and not of sultable quality for Fest- ival material. A short business meeting followed, as it was essential that upon the recent resignation of Mrs. Burrows, a new treasurer be elected. ; Mrs. Jean Jackson very kind- THE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA moved and thrown into such a state of ex- citement, without malice aforethought, even’ though he was too irresponsible to ensure! that his target was a wild, animal. It may,! of course, have been a valuable animal from THE the farmer's herd of cattle. It’s all the same to the hunter who doesn’t care. ter how well wired a house may be, the prac- tice of using fuses‘ of more than 15 amperes will almost certainly result in a fire at some- * time or other, The list is as long as your arm: The ac- cumulation of rubbish or trash in attics; base- ments and garages; the starting of coal and wood stovés with kerosene or other‘inflamm- able liquids; the dumping of hot ashes in wooden or cardboard’ containers; leaving! matches within reach ‘of children and so on. The great trouble with all of these pri- mary causes of fire, is that they are ‘all very much like passing another automobile.on a hill! Each time you get by without incident you are tempted to try again. : Unfortunately, when the inevitable cat- _ ches up with you the results are usually trag- ic and the fesson, learned at such a great cost, is wasted for all know that knowledge -is of little value toa corpse! .

The plot is en- twined in the work or part done by the shop salesgirl and secret- ary, Maude, who being somewhat sentimentally silly, is a key figure in bringing about the eventual marriage of two individ- ly volunteered her services and was immediately glven charge of her new executive position. Mrs, A. Johnson then offered to take charge of the next play reading session with a three-act play she had in mind entitled “George And Margaret’. The next meeting willbe held at the home of Mrs, M.
