Too often, fire safety around the home is neglected or forgotten - with tragic consequences. Statistics for 1991 from the Fire Commissioner's Office of Alberta Labour show that cooking (especially deep frying), careless smoking, home heating, electrical usage and fire- curious children are the major causes of Christmas fires. There is also a significant increase in fires due to candles and an increase in the number of deaths and injuries during Christmas. Enjoy your Christmas holidays, but keep fire safety in mind. Here are some safety tips to follow. Never leave frying foods or heating oil unattended. Keep matches and lighters out of sight and reach of children. Test your smoke alarms to ensure they are working properly. If you smoke, do it with care. sell Christmas trees in Don't overload elec- Olds as well. trical outlets.

When the votes were counted on November 28, contenders Nancy Betkowski and Ralph Klein finished in a virtual dead heat with only a one vote difference. Third place finisher Rick Orman, while saying he would fight on, had second thoughts Monday and dropped out of the race. The vote on Saturday, December 5 pits Nancy Betkowski with her urban view of health and education in Alberta against the populist former mayor of Calgary, Ralph Klein. A number of rural MLA's like Gary Severtson of Innisfail and Ron Moore of Lacombe are solidly in the Klein camp. They, and their promote community gtituency office, or by well-being.

To retain provincial power. Alberta Tories must choose carefully. There was more to the Liberal victory in Three Hills thans the treatment of Connie Osterman and the Trochu tire plant. Three Hills voters were alienated by the Betkowski attitude towards rural education and health care. Practically every hospital in this area had budget chops based on an Amercian made hospital use survey. We recognize that if she becomes premier, Mrs. Betkowski will not be the health minister. At the same time it is realistic to believe that under those same circumstances she will make sure that the changes now underway will continue. overlooking the obvious Sometimes one become so accustomed to changes in the local scenery, that you overlook the obvious. Such is the case with the new headquarters for Mountain View Credit Union at the corner of 50 Avenue and 50 Street in Olds. We all watched with interest as that building edged closer and closer to completion. The final result is a compliment to the Town of Olds and a tribute to the Credit Union, its officers, its directors, and its shareholders. The Credit Union has also show- edleadership in its well organized effort to stimulate retail Christmas business in the communities it serves. a good show Lloyd Quantz gave notice Saturday that his is a political voice to be reckoned with in Alberta. His modest, low key campaign for the Tory leadership netted him a sixth place finish. Voters in Olds- Didsbury recognized his effort with a first place finish. The Olds- Didsbury totals were Betkowski 52; King 1; Klein 130; Main 11; McCoy 15; Nelson 32; Oldring 13; Or man 24; and Quantz 228. Three Hills results were Betkowski 65; King 0; Klein 155; Main 33; McCoy 6; Nelson 138; Oldring 13; Orman 14; Quantz 59. Innisfail polls gave Betkowski 47; King 2; Klein 183; Main 10; McCoy 2; Nelson 30; Oldring 58; Orman 28; Quantz 54. All in all, Lloyd Quantz put on a good show. he Gazette Published weekly si Olds, Alberta Subscription 15.00 plus G.SX per year ii Cauda 46.00 par year ia U.S.*.

Sons of Norway Fjellsyn Lodge No. 591 held their meeting on November 23, presided over by Noreen. A letter has been sent to ' Rod Baldry, president of District 4, listing our upcoming social functions, and inviting him to attend any of them. Ruby sent a sympathy card to Bob and Sonia. Emil gave us an interesting tidbit: while nn a trip to Washington he visited the town of Bottrell and walked the streets of Snoose Town. These streets have a number of Norwegian shops and each one displays the Norwegian flag at the front. After enjoying wine and cheese and lunch, Olga and Leif showed slides of their trip tn Norway. The slides were so good and Olga's comments so interesting that we felt we had been on the trip with them. On november 24 a group of Lodge members attended the hockey game between Team Canada and Team Norway. Team Norway didn't do too good, but we cheered them on, and after the game we were able to have a bit of a visit with them. Mayor Bob Armstrong was presented with a plaque from the Norwegian Hockey Association, he then gave the plaque to the Sons of Norway. We really appreciate this Bob, and it will proudly be displayed in our meeting rooms. ** gt; * An interesting outcome of the game: A young man saw the Norwegian flag being waved in the stands, and came over and joined us for the evening. He is from Bergen, Norway
