WHEN THE CIGARETTE BACK |
FIRES

Last year nearly four and a half
billion eigarettes were smoked in Can
udit. This works out to an average of
1250 cigarettes for every man, woman
uid child of smoking age. :

The old adage,-“Where there is
sinoke, there is fire,” is aptly illus
trated ly the cigarette, for in 1934
nearly 13.000 fires “were definitely
traced ta’ the careless hdndling of cig
uvattes, these fires involving a pro
roty loss of $2,000,000. Smokers’
eivelcspess was responsible for more
fie than any other single classifica,
(it, three out-of every ten fires have
ven attributed to this cause,

padiads in comnon with people of

ot shir countries re devoted to the lif
fe white rolls. The ubove | statisties
show this to be the case. “ Whether the
emiretie is xoad for us or bad for us
fronat the point; we cannot blame the
Yires on Sir! Walter: Raleigh. “The
“smoke” Js not at fault, but the ‘smok
ov, Not the cignrette but the habits
of the min behind it. Every time a
vigarette is carelessly tossed away it
isa fire danger. A mathematician
will tell you that if all the clgarettes
sinoked in Canada Inst year were put
the earth at the equator nearly elght
tightly end to end they would encircle
times, This is purely academic inter

est but the fire hazard of 197,000 miles

the pocket. Fire Prevent Week serves
to call attention to the fire hazard of
the carelessly thrown cigarette among
other causes of fire loss. Be Careful.
