“In a recently conducted sur- vey of homes in a suburb. of Toronto it is reported that about 37 percent of all homes survey- ed had overfused their electri- cal systems—and about 10 per- cent had improvised wiring. Of course our fire prevention auth- orities at Federal and Provincial levels are hard at work to re- duce these fire hazards, and the resultant loss of lives and pro- perty.

The League is the combined effort of all branches of the electrical industry, including Electrical Contractors, Building Contractors, Architects, Utilities, Electrical Inspectors, Appliance Dealers and Electrical Distribu- tors, and is designed to help the people of this Province in their day to day living, electrically.

The obvious advantages of the use of electricity as an energy source can only be enjoyed by the public if the wiring system of the home is of sufficient size to‘ allow for the efficient and safe operation of the 70 odd elec- trical appliances in use today.

A standard or yard stick has been established by which the home owner can assess his own wiring system,‘ or can judge the wiring system in new or old houses offered for sale. This standard is known as “Red Seal”. ,

Electric Service Leagues are now set up in all but two of the Canadian Provinces, to which the home owners may go for ad- vice and guidance. The Leagues. sponsored by all segments of
