Those who say that because Abbostford has so far.. escaped fire &P Order of Elks of the Dominion of Canada and

catastrophe stich as Coquitlam and similar places have suffered, the town is in no need for fire equipment, would be the first to condemn the village officials for should an find us The d taxes many are now paying, if nothing else, justify the prevailing public demand for adequate fire protection.

While approving Or. Higginson’s efforts to provide the village with a per- manent water system, we question its utility for fire emergency. The Com- missioner’s plan makes possible a domestic water supply, but to equip such a system for fire-fgihting will be foun’ an expensive matter.

Water is not a hing agent for fires Greases, paints, gasoline and similar highly inflammable materials, hence the action of most communities such as Abbotsford, many of which have good water sys- tems, in ‘ves with ical engines, As a matter of fact, fires of such nature should be ‘‘blanketed’’ by a gaseous or foam chemical tending to smother the flames. In such fires, spraying of water has usually spread the flames. 2

Fires involving electrical equipment come into the same category, water be- ing an electrical conductor, Since more than 50 per cent. of local buildings, through garaging of cars, nature of stock, or electrical equipment, are risks to this class of fire, it is that the fully realize their re- sponsibility to the community in this matter.

Now that the painting and house-cleaning sexson is here, the emotional effects of color, as explained by M. Luckier of the General Electric Com- pany, will be interesting. He says:

‘The physiological and psychological powers of colors are proportional to the purity of the colors. That is, if we dilute a color with white, or subdue it with black, the resulting tint or shade it not so powerfnl in emotional value.

“Red, orange, and yellow are exciting or stimulating, with the maximum effect for scarlet or orange-red; and yellow-green, green, blue-green, and greenish blue are neutral or quieting, with the maximum of neutrality for green. Blue, violet, and purple are subduing or even depressing, with the maxi- mum effect for violet

Rea may be exciting, Joud, passionate. It may suggest rage, blood, or valor. When it is a deep red it may be subduing. When it is yellowish it may be hot. :

«<Orange is stimulating, warm, and, therefore, may be comforting or irritat- ing, depending on whether or not we desire stimulation or warmth.

«Yellow arouses cheerfulness and warmth. If it is a greenish yellow it may be sickening and may arouse varions associations such as jealousy, sick ness, and cowardice.

«<Green is neutral and may make us feel peaceful. It is neither sad nor cheerful.

{Blne is cooling, sobering, subduing. When it borders on violet it may bo- come depressing.

** Violet likely to be hard as well as gloomy and depressing.

“Purple has some of the chdracteristies of violet. It is generally a subdu- ing color.’? c

That proverbial ‘‘rut’’ through which everyone passes is not deplorable unless it causes us to forget the bigger things of lifee. No one is immune from trudging in the path he has marked out for himself by the constant grind of every-day drudgery. A “yut’? is not a thing to be avoided if it is the channol through which honest progress is made. To accomplish anything worth the while it is necessary to apply one’s self to the job in hand,

Most people look at a newspaper as the business of a single individual. If it thrives, that is the owner’s or editor's business, As a matter of fact, the suc- cess or failure of a paper is a matter of grave concern to an entire town. News- papers are the best advertisement a city has in the outside world. Other cities

Fraser Subsiding

0. Sorensen, carctaker of the Matsqui dyking district deprecates the colored reports of floodings in his district. A- part from small seepages there was no- thing unusual. On Tuesday th water level was 22.1 feet at the pump and 20.2 at the bridge, or about 6 to 7 feet be- low the dykes. The water dropped four inches Monday and with cooler weather probabilities he expects continual de- cline of the water level from now on.

judge a town by the kind of newspaper it has. If it does not thrive, are inclined to look on the town as undesirable to live in, and so move on to other towns. Thomas Jefferson once said that if he hadto have governmen‘ without or without gov he would take the news- papers, because through them he felt that the state could be run with at least fair success. If some of us appreciated more fully the value of our newspapers ‘we would make great effort to see that they get the news and advertising and go become successful, Modern society cannot get along without newspapers any more than it can without schools and churches—Cranbrook Courter.

THE POTATO PATCH

Merrily up and down the row I blithely wield my old Dutch hoe, While all around me nature sings, the bees flit by on airy wings; The robins find for daily food that fresh hoed worms taste very good; The gay canary sings with glee while

on the fence she watches me; While in the bush across the way the pheasant has a lot to say.

My neighbor looks me up and down, I know he thinks me quite a clown That I, in sun and heat should toil, and likely my complexion spoil; While he upon the fenco is sitting, T calmly go on with my knitting. And thus it is I soon am done, and Tcan have my bit of fun, ‘And take somo pleasure, full well mowing that in the patch my spuds are growing. Ab, well-n-day, ‘twas always 80, he who would reap must also hoo, So though the grass will grow again, T’ll tackle it with might ed main,
