Of the total of 52,ftU fires which occurred in 1947. more than caused damage to residen tial properties to the value of $10,207,75. The v total fire bill for $57,000,000, wa not only an in .. crease of more than $7,600,000 over 1M6 but also ... an increase of $13,000,000 over the average for the , .past five years. Added to this is the grim fact that' in these 52,K)0 fires a total of 390 men, women and children lost their lives Thus we, as Canadians, continue year by year seemingly unperturbed, along the path of destruction. Through carelessness, or wanton disregard V of sensible precautions we have built up in the past year the highest record in fire losses our country v has ever known. The remedy, and there is one, lies in our own hands. Organizations spend much time and money expounding fire prevention and illustrating how carelessness can destroy human lives and valuable property. It has been shown that fire not onlv brings ..'loss ' to owners of properties but affects the entire ' community; -The destiuction of mercantile and ! manufa'etuHng properties results in unemployment and loss of wages, which brings hardships to the families of these whose jobs are lost through fire. Likewise the public must pay for these fires, be-.nause rates of insurance are based upon losses. Regional insurance underwriters' associations of ".'Board companies throughout Canada maintain W. J.

Response to the current membership drive was termed gratifying by Mr. Forward, who said that in the first five days of the campaign, 452 people had taken out memberships at the Civic Centre desk. This year's drive is not depending on canvassers to contact homes and businesses but it is being done through th? mails.
