f1HARl.()TTETOWN SATURDAY. OCT. 3. 1933. Fire Prevention Week

The selection of October 4th to 1t)th as Fire Prevention Week in Canada is timely Jecausc heating plants which have been dis- ised since Spring are again being operated and all too often stand in need of cieaniiig )l' repair. A little attention now may well save life and properly later.

The Provincial Fire Marshal's report shows that there was a gratifying drop in loss by fire from 10.31 to 1952 but last

year still slimxetl no less than nine deaths,

and a total of 3.3.") fires costing uiniost iiaif a milion dollars. The various fire depart- ments eohie in for well-deserved praise but the public does not. Where there is no

regtilar fire-fighting organization it is '1:

public service and duty to rush to a fire and lend every assistance. The practice, however, results in increased difficulty for firemen and much effort must be wasted in dealing with crowds which should be devoted to the job of fire-fighting.

What Fire Prevention Week should im- press is the necessity of thinking about fires before they happen. Whether in pri- vate homes, business, or public institutions, it is highly desirable for all concerned to consider what the dangers are, to elimin- ate them so far as possible, and to un- .'icrstaiid what steps are necessary should fire break out.

The Fire Marshal and other officials are on the lookout for fire hazards but it is quite impossible for them to see every- thing that could be a source of danger. There can be few hazards, however, that are not known to someone and it is up to that someone to see that they are either eliminated or at least reduced.

Every big fire results in a general tight- ening up of fire regulation enforcement and observance but the time when precau- tions pay off is when they are taken be- fore rather than after disaster.

Latest Findings In Palestliit

Discovery of a 6,000-year-old village in Palestinc's southern desert region of Negeb and new proof that the arid land was heavily settled in Roman times have cheer- ed colonists who are pioneering farm com- munities in the parched area. The ancient settlement is believed to have been estab- lished rluring the Bronze Age, about 4000 PC. It offers the first clue to historians that the Ncgeb supported man prior to the Nabathcan period from 300 BC. to 100 A.D.. the National Geographic Society points out. Its inhabitants appear to have been advanced in agriculture, cultivating the valley slopes just as the Nabatheans did much later.- Sites of 83 previously un- recorded Nabathcan settlements in the central Negeb have also been uncovered rccer. 1)” by an expedition headed by Dr. Nelson Glueclc, world famous archaeologist and president of Hebrew Union College iii Cincinnati.

Dr. Glueck's findings indicate the Naba- thean kingdom extended from the southern end of the Dead Sea to what is now the Egyptian border. Heretoforc, it had been supposed that these peoples, who combined elements of Roman, Semitic and Arab cul- tures. lived solely in Transjordan and used the Negeb only for trade routes. It now seems evident that as many as 200,000 Nabatheans once irrigated the desert land by means of undcrgroun cisterns.

Negeb, ivhlcii means dry or parched lands, occupies the southern third of Pai- estine. Most of the region was appor- tioned to Israel under the United Nations partition, and .in recent years increasing numbers of colonists have settled in the territory.

At Revivim, south of Beersheba, set- tlers are cultivating hundreds of acres of grain, vegetables, fruit and olive trees. Surplus water gathered during the rainy season is stored in concrete-lined pools for irrigation during the intense summer drought. Eventually the colonists plan to run it pipeline from the hill country to the north. Surveys show that the desert soil is comparable to some parts of the Texas plains and needs only a reliable wa- ter supply to assure abundant crops.

Dr. Glueck's explorations and excava- tions have uncovered more than 1,000 Bib- llcal cities In the Transjordan urea. laid hue King Solomon's long-missing port of Bron-gcbcr on the Red Sea, and discover- Od Solomon's copper mines in the Wadi Under Dr; Glueck. for the nut an Qlltlfl land has been ” -I aouttlled lnttlc for

Forplianago Appeal

The high cost of living that is so fam- iliar to heads of families is equally high for, those children who are parentless and the Prince Edward Island Protestant Orphan- age is asking that generous friends not only support it as in the past but increase their contributions. They can be sure that every dollar received will be used to the best advantage of the boys and girls in the, Orphanagels care.

The people of this Province are al- ways generous in their response to appeal for aid from far or near but the homeless little ones of our own have an especially direct claim or. our generosity. It would be intolerable to think of them asking aid and failing to receive it.

The orphanage has been exceedingly fortunate over the years in the people who! have managed it and seen to its direction. and support. Outstanding is Mrs. H. S.l Henderson who has been tireless in woi'k- ing for the children and who has succeeded in persuading others to give of their time, and effort for the cause. It is hard to re-i fuse to work when asked to do so by one who does so much. ;

The Protestant Orphanage drive opens; on Monday and workers will canvass as, many of our people as possible. Many,I however, will not wait to be approached but will seek out the collectors and do their' bit towards giving the orphan children as good a life and as wide an opportunity as possible. They will be remembered by many at such seasons as Christmas and their lives brightehed by gifts and entertainment but it must not be forgotten that they also have to live throughout the year.

Seamen are a conservative lot. In ancient times Egyptian vessels were sup- plied with eyes graved into the bows to enable the craft to find their way. Thou- sands of.years later sailors still speak of the hawse-pipes on either side of the bow as the eyes of the ship, although their pur- pose is to lead the anchor cables.

Talks will commence Thursday under the auspices of the Canada-U.S. joint in- dustrial mobilization comhiittce. The suc- cess or otherwise of the committee is re- flected in the efficiency with which de- fence production is shared by the two countries. In this day and age the term defence production is necessarily very wise indeed.

The Netherlands deficit in foreign pay- ments having been replaced since 1951 by a surplus, that country is now expanding purchasing power and creating incentives for private investment by giving substan- tial tax relief to industry, trade, the direct taxpayer and the consumers of taxed goods. The policy will result in immediate budget deficits but that is expected to be more than compensated for by the results of the expansionist policy.

THE GALE OF "I!

"Yesterday morning at half-past. one o'clock 3 most terrific storm came on from the northeast. Every hour the wind increased until six pm., when its force gradually di- minished. and lulled to n. calm to- wards nine p.m. It. was accom- panied by drenching rains and overflowing tide. Vessels were dashed to pieces by the fury of the waves: whai-ves were shifted from their foundations; bridges were swept. away; houses in many localities were unroofed and blown down, trees were uprooted and laid across the public thoroughfares, and fishing boats smashed to pieces on the beach.

"The schooner 'l-Ienry M. Clark', Clark, master. of Gloucester, Mass, went. ashore at. Tignish on the south side of Myrick's fishing stage. The crew, including the captain's wife. landed after much difficulty in a. surf boat. The vessel, which was loaded with potatoes by Messrs. Hall and Myrlck, is I total loss.

"At 4 p.m. yesterday communi- cation was entirely cut off with 'Jl?ignlsh Run; everything at that place was apparently gone. At Cascumpec and Ivan bond the damage done was very great. The beacon light. at. pascumpcc -was entirely washed away and the Government wharf was badly dimi- used. The three bridges at Kil- darc Capes were carried away as were Pope's Bridge, Big Tignish Bridge, Little Tlgnish Bridge and a. number of others.

"The storm along the North side was very severe and many losses are reported. At. Rustico the schooner lcarrie 1'”. Butler” drifted on the bar and was dashed to pieces. The greater portion of her freight, which consisted of 300 barrels of mackerel, was lost.JThe schooner: tVclocity' tMaggic', both loaded with mackerel, were driven ashore. Oyster Bed Bridge and North Rustico Bridge are be... seriously damaged and many of the fishing stages were gahifted. In Charlottetown Harbour the damage is not. worthy of note, save a slight. damage to the Southport fcrry wharf. Outside the harbour about two miles west of the Dock xl-louse, the schooner 'Emeline'. Capt. Mac- Donald, from Boston with a cargo of general merchandize. went ashore and will undoubtedly be a total loss. g

"At. St. Peterfii Bay several houses and bar... ...;i'c uiiroofed, trees wc:e uprooted. nnd several small casulaties occurred. Al: Sourls three small new houses. runder completion. were b.own down. .i number of old ones were unroofed and Messrs. Stone's and J. H. Mc- Donald's sheds ..:re blown to plecel. The schooner 'Winnlc' and another went. adrift and grounded near the old breakwal.er.,It is re- ported that A large number of house: and burns were unroofcd at. East. Point.

"The storm caused much ion at Cardigan and vicinity. where the only place which remain: good for shlpplng purposes is the wharf re- cently built at Cardigan Bridge. Tho-brldzo itself was broken in two puts; one part was curled about 0. quarter of I mile up the river and the other ..; blown to the south llde neu Mr. D.'Bt.cw- art's lhlpylrd.

A prominent educator lament: the current shortage of what he calls "characters", plrsom ,who don't mind being considered in- dlvtduullstlc or even I bit odd. There will be many both within and outside ucndgmlc circle: who will sympathize with-his view, for it. can scarcely be questioned that present day society is becoming more and more standardized.

The symptoms can be securel- mosl. anywhere. In the cities new houses and other bulldlngafollow I pattern. I saw "one ”project" ll few months ago in which the houses-more than a hundred of them-and the front lawn: were as alike as peas in a pod, and I thought at the time how difficult it would be for a man to.flnd his own door pending the numbering of the units which he not yet been done. I didn't 2 in any of the houses. but ten chances to one the furniture in the various units would be pretty much alike.

In the country districts stand- ardization is A bit more difficult but it receives is lot. of attention nevertheless. If one man puts it certain kind of shingles on his roof today his pattern will almost certainly be copied by several of his neighbours before the year is out. And so with lawns, gardens, barns. and almost everything else you like to mention. There is a tendency to "follow the leader" at any colt or any inconveni- once.

In these purely physical thing: the standardizing impulse ls harm- less enough, except sometimes it put: people in debt unnecessarily. The result may be attractive or unattractive, according to the artistic or innrtistlc some of the "leader", but. usually there is no great harm done. And sometimes. it must be admitted, it brings about I. good deal of necessary improvement. .

In mutter: usually referred to n being ”pollt.lcnl" (incidentally. this ll a word that in fenced in more than it. ought to be) the standardlzln trend is more seri- ous. And ere in no doubt at all that it exiuu. In fact it is no obvious that it ll sheer waste of time to attend any non: of olltlcal meeting during an elec- tion contest or at any other time. And so-called "joint" meeting: are worse in thin respect than the other kind.

You know exactly what to ex- pect before you go. and it isn't anything very exciting. One fac- tion takes everything the speaker says as gospel truth; the other faction doesn't believe a word of it. And if. or occasionally hap- pens, some listener is bold enough to put forward A view of his own, without regard to the sensibilities of his particular group, he is shouted down or. what in worse, ignored.

The tragedy of our politics to- day in not that they are corrupt. but that they are dreary. Cor- ruption, where it exists and where there is any great popular senti- ment against it, can be dealt with in A legal way. There is no known machinery to deal with dreurlncss.

I

Attend A meeting of any group and called for any purpose and you can see the standardizing ma- chinery at. work. There is an in- ordinate passion for unanlmlty.,In most case: the sponsor of at req- olutlon needs only to have it see ended. After that it. can be count- ed on to have clear railing. When-
