Not So Safe

This week is Fire Prevention Week in Canada. In schools,
hospitals and commercial enterprises those responsible for
the safety of human life and property will observe the week
by checking on fire drill routine and fire fighting equipment,

Where the most serious loss of life and property is sus-
tained annually though, little thought will be given to fire
prevention. We are apt to thinlgof ourselves as ‘safe’ in the
home, yet fires in the home are too often fatal fires. Have you
any Means of fire protection in you home? Have members of
your family any means of escape from second storey bedrooms?
Do they know what to do when fire is discoveed? These ques-
tions would probably find most of us stumbling for an answer
and that’s exactly the reason fires in the home claim so many
lives each year.

Fire Prevention Week is a good time to find the answers
to these questions and to clean up any dangerous fire hazards
that may exist in your home.

We Need Boosting

First-time Cariboo visitors from the coast are always
amazed by the country they are seeing. No exception to this
rule were members of the Phamaceutical Association who
were here this week. They were impressed by the size of this
bart of the province; the Scenery, and most of all the eviden:e
of sound economic growth.

It is gratifying to make such an impression on these visil-
ors, but the unfortunate thing is that they had to visit the
Cariboo personally to know anything about its attractions.
Not every coast dweller can, or will, make the trip to see
for himself — a fact that Points out the need of the distribution
of information on our part. If the coast won’t come to the
Cariboo, at least we could invade their home territory with
descriptive folders on our district.

Our own Board of Trade has taken a few tentative stabs
at producing such a folder, but with little evidence of success
Perhaps next year this project could be given number one
priority on the list of Board endeavours. If it was the only
accomplishment of the Board in 1953 it would be a fancy
feather in that organization’s hat.

Officially ‘C To Town’
IClahy ome 10 !own

This is the week our main industry ‘comes to town.’ Un

the crisp night air the bawling of cattle from the stockyards

across the lake can be heard clealy from the streets, a sort of

vocal trademak of the ranching industry that forms the main

pillar of our commercial existence.

Those responsible for the operation of the annual sale

have approached this year’s annual showing with some trepi-

dation as marketing conditions have placed a big question

“mark behind the eventual outcome. The contributors will not

fare as well as in recent past sales of course, but if prices hold
to the market level the sale will be judged ‘satisfactory.’

Outside of the price question, these annual sales always
prove valuable to the industry in terms of public relations and
information traded between prominent breeders from every
part of the province. In this regard the cattle-sale plays the
same part in this industry that conventions do to others, and
as a convention the spirit of fun is included with the more
serious business aspect. Everyone joins in this part of the
program to make Cattle Sale Week the main social highlight
of the year for country people and townspeople alike,

We hope district ranches will be able to look back on the
15th Annual Sale as a success in every aspect.
