Police, who have had road blocks up over the past few weeks, will continue to do so over the: holiday season. Estimates were read by R. Cormier for the fixing up of the basement and it was decided to table this until the new year. A committee was formed to look into this project to see what financlal aid could be given.

Physical fitness classes will commence in January, with a date to be announced later. In closing, Mrs, Johnson extended her thanks to all the committees, officers and mem- bers for their support during her two years of office and hoped all would have a joyous and safe holiday season. Sec- retary Mrs. R. Donnan also extended her thanks. Both offi- + cers were given a standing ovation and Mrs, Johnson pledged her support to the in- coming officers. At the close of the meet- ing, the Castlegar Brownie pack, under the direction of their Brown Owl Mrs. J. Bird and her assistants, entertained the seniors with a delightful Christmas play. The props were all hand-made, depicting the Christmas season of snow and fir trees, reindeer and sleigh, with Santa driving his reindeer across the country- side. The first meeting of the S.C.A. will be held on the afternoon of Jan. 4. Mrs. John- son reported that J.

His other kidney had only a 10 per cent function. In April of this year, Don had a kidney transplant which functioned for one month — then stopped. He now is reject- ing the antibiotics and has meningitis, Needless to say, he is in critical condition and in much pain, Brownies shown here with narrator Dianna Lehne.

Smoke detectors are criti- “cal life-saving devices. While a ‘smoke detector won't prevent tor extinguish’ fires in your shome, it can save your life. It ‘ean alert you and your family to sthe presence of smoke and fire vand allow you to escape to ‘safety and then call the fire ‘department. s Fire chiefs and other safety ‘experts recommend some form ‘of early warning devices. Be ‘sure that the unit or units you install have been inspected and ‘approved by” ‘Underwriters’. La- ‘boratories of Canada; and fol- ‘low the maker's instructions for jinstallation, maintenance and ‘periodic testing. + Elderly and physically handicapped persons should ‘have a separate smoke detector in their rooms and a separate + fire escape plan tailored to their ‘special needs, Be sure that the fire department knows that an glderly or handicapped person lives in the house. If possible, the person's Foom should be on the ground floor -with a door leading dlizeetly to the outside. If the bedroom must be on the second floor, work’ out a special escape plan. \ Careless discarding of Ughted matches and smoking materials was responsible for fiearly 30 per cent of all fires from known causes over a 10- -year period. £ Here are a few common Brecautions: . Keep all matches out of reach of children, Matches should be kept in non- combustible containers. . Have plenty of ash trays conveniently placed in all rooms, . Be sure your lighted matches or. smokes are completely out before you discard them. . DON'T SMOKE IN BED. 5, Don't strike matches in closets, garages or other places where flammable materials, dust or vapors may be ignited. One in 10 fires of known causes is of electrical origin. Circuits are designed to carry loads. The blowing of a fuse is a danger signal that the circuit is overloaded or defective. Be sure your fuses are of correct amperage for your cir- cuits — 15 amperes usually are right. Don't tamper with this “safety valve.” A few common sense pre- cautions: 1, Employ a skilled electri- cian to repair or extend The Cost Of Running Appliances Do you know how much it costs to operate your average electric appliances? The following will give you some idea, but keep in mind, these are all approximate figures because hydro rates vary across the country and with the amount of use: e A large-sized air con- ditioner costs $200 a year to run. e Arefrigerator-freezer costs more than $50 a year. « A kitchen range costs more than $30 a year. eA clothes dryer costs nearly $30 a year. But don’t despair. There's still a bargain or two left. Based -on average use, you canstill get a year of can-opening, carving, floor polishing, hedge-trim- ming, shaving or waffle-making for under 60 cents, A Message of Holiday Safety From Your Local Fire Chief wiring when this is neces- sary. . Buy electric appliances and cords bearing a recog- nized seal of approval. . Don't string. wires under rugs, over hooks, or in any exposed place, Wear may make them dangerous. * One out of every four or five fires is caused by faulty chimneys, flues, cooking or heating stoves, furnaces, care- lessness with fire places or hot ashes, or sparks on roofs, etc. All heating plants, pipes or appliances should be at least 18 inches away from any wall or burnable material, Heaters, in- cluding stoves, should be on insulated metal, cement or other incombustible bases. Walls and ceilings near stoves | should be protected by asbestos © sheeting or other insulating material. Clean chimneys every year, and repair promptly when cracks or loose mortar appear. Never “force” a furnace to get more heat. Consult your heat- ing man about increasing its efficiency safely. Empty hot ashes into metal containers — never into wooden boxes. Pouring kerosene on wood or coal fires is extremely dangerous, Using gasoline, benzine, maphtha and other flammable liquids in the house for cleaning or similar purposes causes many tragedies each year. ‘These fluids vaporize when exposed to air and may quickly produce an explosive mixture that is readily ignited by a match, pilot light, sparking motor or even a static spark developed from rubbing tex- tiles together. exposure.
