It is not en halted the project —$200,000— sas budgeted for the job and all but $50,000 worth of work is left to be done, What is more, the project in the vieinity of Prudhomme Lake was undertaken because of the dangerous and tortuous construction of that part of the road. A mile of new read was being pushed through to eliminate the hazardous curves. Now it is to be left one-quarter unfinished, benefiting no one because the objective has not been plished. We might see a little more clearly why such a project would be halted had the job cost much more than the original budget, but we are told on authority that the amount contracted for would have completed the project. It also has been pointed out that economically it is poor judgment to pull the road equipment out of the area now for it will cost that much more to get it back in again when work is resumed. We fear that this halt work order from the capital either has a political taint or has been given without any regard for north-central B.C.

What do you say, Mr. Bennett? ! ‘we Fires Destroy Millions ; HE Dominion Fire Commissioner has just re- leased some startling figures which should be burned into the memory of every Canadian: During the past 10 years 534,775 fires in Can- |, ada have destroyed property valued at $542,000,000 | « and have taken a toll of lives of 4,087 persons. Another estimated 15,000 have been seriously in- jured as a result of tire. Following investigations, the Commissioner's report also shows that a‘ least 75 per cent of these fires were wvaidable aud caused by carelessness. This ig certainly .a blemish on our living standards and it eallg {or the attention of all of us. This is Fire Prevention Week—from Oet. 5 to Oct. 11—and while every week of the year should be held in similar rezard as to the dangers of un- eontrolled fires, this week a special effort is made by fire wardens, commissioners, fire department chiefs and their aids across the country to give our memories a jolt. There is little so tragic as to witness a scene of charred ruins of what was once a beautiful home, or to realize that the fire which caused the smoking ruins also claimed the life or lives of loved ones. Yet such tragic incidents occur nearly every day in some part of Canada, More caution on. the part of eaeh individual in our own community will help to reduce the number of such tragedies, of big losses and wasted effort.
