APPEALS
FOR
FIRE
CAUTION
Carlessness
Should
be
Punishable,
in
Opinion
of
Chief
Suggestion
that
the
onus
for
fire
losses
be
placed
on
those
whose
carelessness
is
responsible,
just
as
it
is
in
cases
of
careless
and
drunken
driving,
was
made
before
the
Rotary
Club
Thursday
afternoon
by
Fire
Chief
H.
T.
Lock
in
a
speech
containing
a
plea
for
continual
watchfulness
against
fire.
He
spoke
on
the
current
Fire
Prevention
Week,
presenting
figures
which
revealed
that
the
j
cost
in
lives
and
property
rose
j
substantially
'In
1946
over
1945,'
attributing
a
large
part
of
the!
increase
to
carelessness.
"Insurance
companies
will
not,
honor
payments
in
cases
of
automobile
accidents
where
drunken
driving
has
been
proved,"
he
said.
"Yet
they
admit
obligations
ln
cases
of
fire
damage
where
the
loss
of
a
building
is
a
result
of
a
drunken
party
or
qarelessness."
During
1946,
408
people
died
in
Canada
as
a
result
of
fire,
Chief
Lock
said.
Of
these,
161
were
children,
166
men
and
78
women.
"Who
can
measure
the
pain,
fhe
anguish
and
regret
of
the
parents
who
lost
those
164
