The first official Thanksgiving Day in Canada was proclaimed In honor of victories In J Wie-iatJucciiLuij. .wars, An. which. Canada became British. The occasional observance of the day nearly always had a martial significance in early times. For more than a hundred years a day or thanksgiving was proclaimed on special occasions of national gratitude. Canada's Thanksgiving Day I became an annual event to ex press "gratitude for an abund ant harvest and other blessings" on Nov. 6, 1879, when the pro iclamatlon of the Marquess of Lome, then governor-general, urged Canadians to "attend church and give thanks." For many years It was set for a Thursday late in October or early r In November but in 1900 it was i changed to a Monday in October. A day of thanksgiving for material blessings Is one Canadian holiday frankly adopted from the early settlers of New England. Soon after arriving m America from England the Pilgrim Fathers set apart a weekday for attending religious ser- vices. It is reported they often i carried their weapons to church with them. In 1864, President Abranam Lincoln appointed the fourth Thursday In November for national thanksgiving, a custom '"day belnz Thankselvlne followed annually until 1939, and a nubile hnlldnv. the wh'pn President Franklin Roose- N'eW will nnt Kn miKllcV, ( -J...., A II It.. tVilrrl f o r harvest blessings Is a custom the early Hebrews practiced ln their feasts of Pentecost and Tabernacles.

LONDON, Oct. 9 iff) Strong formations of heavy American bombers flew deep Into Europe i Demonstrations And Talks On Fire Control Fire Department Visited Schools And Chief Discussed Control Methods. As part of the Fire Depart ment's program during Fire Prevention Week, the local fire department, under Chief H. T. Lock, carried out a demonstration of equipment. In conjunc tion with lire drills, at the Bor den Street, the King Edward, and the Booth Memorial schools Wednesday. : Mr. Lock also spoke to the i students on the newer methods' and equipment of fire prevention and control. Great interest was showed by the students in a high-speed enactment of the movements of a fire department from the time U arrives at the scene of a fire ijnil It Is pouring water on the blaze. In his talk on fire fighting equipment Mr. Lock spoke of the "fog spray" system as the newest thing in putting out fires. The apparatus for the "fog spray" system forces water at ; extremely high pressures, as high as 600 pounds to the square inch, through a. nozzle outlet of which Is a surface of tiny apertures, which cause the water to i come out in tne lorm oi log. This fog blankets the fire and puts It out with great speed and very, Utile water damage. !The use of the fig spray noz zle requires that firemen get away from the old method of standing back and pouring water on a flie from a distance. They must find the source of the fire, cjfawl as near to it as possible, and envelop it with fog spray. This has been found far more effective than the old system.
