AMPLE WATER IS A NECESSITY

The ratepayers of this Village will soon be called
upon to give their okay on a $95,000 Water By-law
and it is our hope that the okay will be given.

The present sy is being subsidized out of

general revenue for costly repairs, which is money
down the drain, and could be spent on many other
items needed in the Village,
+ The delay in the improvement of the system has
run the cests into an additional $14,000 now, and if
the Natural’ Gas installation is allowed’ to proceed
before the water system improvement, the additicnal
costs could be staggering.

There is talk of a 50c per month increase in
water rates, Isn't it better to have an increase in
water rates, rather than insurance rates? We now en-
joy the rates of other cities with adequate water sup-
ply, but cannot expect this to continue with the system
we have.

The by-law calls for a new 160,000 Gal. water ‘tank
replacing of the wooden mains, additional fire hydrants
and will give aboye all, water with pressure that is so
badly needed.

Forget the past, look to the present and future
of our village, vote for water.

T.V. FIRES COULD BE DANGEROUS

The local Fire. Department heard a talk this week
on Television in relation to fires and electricity, and
some of the points brought out are worth repeating.

The first point noted was the the hazard of fast-
éning the antenna tc the chimney. The constant sway ,
of the antenna in the wind, will in time crack the
chimney and this in tum could allow fire ean to
the attic.

When fighting a fire ina: television receiving set
there are two important points .to bear in mind at alt
times. First, the ‘instrument may still be charged® ‘and
most likely is, and secondly, the picture tube may ex-
plode — those are the two points to watch. In the in-
terest of safety it is most important that certain
procedures be followed~ Stand always to one side of the
set and never in front of it. Make sure the wall plug
is pulled, and then turn the set to the wall so that if
the tube does blow, you will not be stiowered: with
glass. Don’t under any circumstances put water on a
TV fire as it could cause the picture tube to. explode,
and the stored electricity in the set could cause great
harm to a person, The comparable pressure, with the
explosion of the Picture Tube is equal to, that of a
hand granade. The set itself develops up to 450 volts.
of electricity and the Picture Tube up to 14000 ta
18000 volts.

t is dangerous to attempt to change a picture
tube yourself, if your tube needs replacing, have. a
qualified person do it, and he should take care of the
disposing of the old tube. .

Teeth are designed to last a
Ufetime. Yet nearly half the
population over 40 has or needs
artificial dentures. In a country
with the finest dental know-how
in the world, our dental health
is scarcely a candidate for hon-
ors. ‘This is the record:

Almost all persons suffer from
dental disease at some time dur-
ing their lives.

One thing certain for the fu-
ture of this country is the need
for a continuuing supply of good
brains, In education, in govern:
ment and in business,

Education in Canada needs
support and needs it badly. It
needs financial support. . More
than financlal aid, educafion
needs moral support. If it has
moral support, the monetary sup-
port will not be far behind, By
moral support, I mean consider-
ably more than respect for édu-
cation as an instituttion,

How much should we spend—
as a nation — on education? Out
of each million dollars of nation-
al income should we spend near-
Jy two cents per Canadian child
on education —as we did in de-
pressed 1931? Or should we
spend Jess than half that amount,
as we did in prosperous 1953 and
probably do today?

The educational problem is
every citizen’s personal responel-
bility.
gest that both in ‘terms of fin-
ancial : and‘ moral support, the
businessman can greatly ald the
march of education.
